The faceless entity

Chapter 3:

Unanswered questions

I woke up feeling pain in the back of my head. As I get up I put a hand on my head. I have a lump pretty big lump. I probably got hit pretty hard… I look around to see where I am. I seem to be in a small building that probably used to be a tool shed but now it looks like it was abandoned as there is moss and there are parts of the roof missing.

That's when I notice it. A mask on the floor. I pick it up and get a good look at it. It's a pretty basic mask, being completely white with two eyes and a mouth painted on it.

As I keep examining the mask, I felt somewhat compelled to put it on. I was brought out of my thinking as I started violently coughing. I drop the mask and get out of the shed as quick as I could, thinking that it was probably the dust that was making me cough so much.

As soon as I step outside I notice an old abandoned house. I also notice I am in the middle of the woods. How the hell did I even get here?

I wanted to go inside of the house, but judging by how old the house looked, there was probably nobody there. So, I decided to try to find a way back to my house, so, I wander off into the woods.

After walking for what seemed like forever I reached the street. Thankfully I recognized the street. It wasn't far from my house so I begin walking again all the way back towards my house.

On the way I kept seeing people like the one with the mask. Eventually, after trying to evade them, they somehow surrounded me.

"Give it to us." One of them said. "Give you what?" I respond. One of them holds out their hand. "The pendant, we know you have it now give it to us or else." The same one said. Pendant? "What pendant?" I ask him. The person then lowers their hand and starts looking around, as do the others. Then he looks at me again. "We'll be back for it soon." Then they all leave.

I quickly ran home after that. Once I got there I stop right in front of the front door which now has a circle with an X crossed through it. As I walk towards the door, I noticed it was open. I gathered up whatever amount of courage I had and walked inside.

The inside of my whole house was trashed. The couch was flipped, there were things scattered about on the floor. I decide to ignore everything as I went to my room. To my surprise, my room wasn't trashed at all! This only brought up more questions… Why wreck the living room and the kitchen and then leave my room perfectly fine?

I sat on my bed as I began to think about the whole situation.

I am being followed by some kind of strange cult which probably kidnapped Alex and apparently want some kind of pendant from me, a strange tall and slender creature is stalking me, the cultists know where I live and easily broke into my house in search of this pendant and they kidnapped me.

Well, if I'm not screwed, I don't know what I am.

I have to leave, I have to! Then maybe they'll stop! I start packing up most of my essentials and prepare to leave. But, where should I go? I'll probably go to some motel or something. No, that would probably be too obvious. Perhaps with one of my friends? No, they'll probably get sucked into this mess… well, maybe if I go to a motel that's far away, maybe I'll be clear… Oh the hell with it, it's worth a shot. After all, it's sure as hell better than being here.

I get in my car and I prepare to leave. I can only hope that they will stop and that Alex will be alright…
