“Why? You in love with him?” he teases. I felt my cheeks flaming up. I see Poison give a glimmer off his eyes. Uh oh. He pissed him off for fucking sure. I scooted away from Poison and the man. I kept backing up little by little while they fought and argued over me I guess. They haven’t paid enough attention to me until they realized I faded into the dark.

“Are you guys kidding me!!?” he yells at his bodyguards. They got scared and ran after me. I stood up and bolted for the door. It was no luck. They grabbed me and dragged me under the light again. The Boss just looks at me disgusted.

He walks toward me and hovers. “I swear to God!! Cyanide!!” Poison yells, “Touch him.. I dare you,” he hisses. Boss just chuckles and looks at him dead in the e“I swear to god if you even touch him!” Poison threatens. Boss just chuckles and looks at him.

ye. “Or what?” he says mockingly.

“Your ribcage will be my souvenir,” he replies. I gulped at the thought of his ribcage over a fireplace.

“Ha! Very Funny Poison, you cant even get out of those cuffs,” he smirks at him and looks down on me.

“Tryin to get away aren’t ya,” he asks me. Well no shit Sherlock. I just stare at him with my innocent eyes. He stares into them almost like I’m a vortex. The next thing I knew is that Poison got out of the handcuffs and grabs him. Punching him in the face and standing before me to guard me. The bodyguards come after him and he does some lightning fast kicks and knocks them off their feet. I sat there in shock and awe. He is so fucking badass!!!

He finishes kicking their asses and turns around and looks at me. He grabs me and throws me over his shoulder and ran for our lives. I hear the guys groan and get up to chase us. Poison bolts out through the door with the long hallway and out another door that I had no idea was there. Soon we were outside. He started running fast and took a sharp turn into an alley almost dropping me.

“YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CANT HIDE!!” I hear a voice bellow. I’m guessing its that boss man. By then Poison was panting and out of breath. I felt bad because he had to save me and all.

“Thanks,” I murmur. “Don’t mention it,” he replies. I look up and its dark. It feels like midnight in a way. You know that feeling when you feel it’s a certain time? Well yeah, that’s how I feel right now. Poison looks at me and pulls out his knife. My eyes bulge and back up. He chuckles, “You really think I would kill you?” he says still laughing. I sigh and felt embarrassed. “Well, sorry I’m just tired of everyone trying to kidnap or kill me,” I say. “I understand,” he answers. He tells me to stand and so I obey. He turns me around and starts cutting through the tight knot bounding my hands together. He finishes and I felt shear relief when I was able to move my arms freely. “Better?” he asks. I nod with a huge grin. We just stand there looking like dorks smiling and sighing. “Uh… I better get you out of here,” he finally says. I agree with him and wonder where we’ll go. “Your honestly not where your suppose to be,” he says sounding guilty. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. “Lets just say its not abandoned and there are living people,” he finalizes. I’m still confused. He sighs and grabs my arm. “Let me show you,” he says. He pulls me and I felt my stomach leap. He drags me to a ladder that leads to the top of a building. He lets go of my arm in my disappointment. He starts climbing the ladder motioning me to follow. So I do as I’m told. As soon as we got to the top, I gasp. “Wha-wha-where am I?” I ask shocked. We’re on top of a decently tall building overlooking to what I see is the largest fucking city ever.

Poison grabs my shoulder and I turn around quickly giving him my surprised face. He laughs and says, “Welcome to Malefic City.”

My mouth gapes open in awe. I see a very tall building that has the word BL/ind. on it. I stare at it wondering what company that is.

“That’s Better Living Industries,” Poison says to me. I look at him still having no clue what that is. “Lets just say bad guys who like stealing people like you,” he says to me. “Like me?” I say. He nods, “When we found you a few years ago living alone up there, we thought it would be a chance to add another to our gang,” he starts. “Gang?” I ask, god stop asking so many questions Frank. Poison chuckles and sighs.

“Sit,” he says to me. We both sit down hanging our feet over the ledge.

I sat there waiting for him to start.

“Well here goes,” he says looking at me with a small smile. I smile back and wait.

“ I used to work for Better Living Industries and you know did my job by finding rebels upon this secret city, secret yes. This place was never discovered until a man named Electric DJ. If your wondering why we have such weird names. It is our alter-ego in a way. I’m known as Party Poison,” he says.

How fucking awesome!!

“If your wondering why we wear masks. It’s to hide our true identity, our true ‘colors’ as they put it. These guys are trying to destroy the life of art. This angered me because that’s the only thing that keeps us alive. Art is the weapon. You gotta use it and run with it. I realized they like to steal people from the realm. Which is where your from,” I furrow my eyebrows. “You know that well you get water from?” he asks me. I nod and wait for him to answer. “That’s the secret gate,” he says to me. I looked at him in surprise, he smiles and nods. “yeah I k now, What? Yes that’s the gateway to Malefic City. Electric found it and became the router of this city, he founded it and made it grow by bringing a couple buddies of his. They began to start kidnapping people. Make them part of them. I was honestly one of those kidnapped. It wasn’t pretty. To this day I still don’t remember who my family is. They erased your memory. You know that town you lived in? well duh , I think you know. You heard of that rumor where everyone left because of some disease?” I nod. “Well , it wasn’t, Electric kidnapped everyone there, every single last person. He lived there. He was just a selfish person. He always wanted rank in power. He took everybody who lived in that town. Now they are here. All of them. Brainwashed,” he says almost cringing. I felt really bad for him. At least I remember who my family was and where they were.

“I didn’t want that to happen to you, honestly, all these years we were watching you I was the one saving you from damnation, you seemed so peaceful and happy to be alone, it made me sad but happy at the same time. You’re a weird kid you know?” I pull on a smile. “ I don’t know about you but I couldn’t let them hurt you. They would have gotten you a long ass time ago. I didn’t let them. All those dead bodies you found. It was them,” I cringed at the thought of when I found those dead bodies. “I killed them, didn’t let them touch you, I don’t know about you though, there’s something special…there,” he points to my heart. I look up at him and wonder what going on through his head. I felt sorry for him.

“Soon I found a band of rebels much like myself when I quit. We all wanted sweet revenge. We call ourselves…Killjoys. Ever since I’ve been trying to get to Electric. But I couldn’t without Cyanide. The man we encountered. He told me to get you , I refused but he made a deal with me, If I got you, I could get to Electric. Reasons why I finally revealed myself to you. I left that mask there on purpose. Hoping you would find it. You did just like I hoped you would,” he smiled. I honestly regret finding it. Not to be mean.

“I’m so sorry for putting you through all that. I know you knew someone was watching all that time, I watched you, not to be creepy but to keep you safe, I saw the way you flinched when I made any movement and you heard the leaves crunching or when you hear footsteps all around you. Yes that was me or sometimes it wasn’t,” I shivered now knowing I was being watched. But felt relief knowing he wouldn’t hurt me. “um… can I ask something?” I say cutting off his story. He nods.

“why did you rip my shirt?” I say looking at him. He just smiles, “ yeah I knew you’d ask sometime, it was so I could easily get you without any one fucking me up, like those guys in the truck that kidnapped us. I was to bring a cloth or something of yours making it seem like I killed you so no one could even bother trying to look for you, I wanted you for myself, so I could finish my deal,” he says, “ I’m so sorry for being an asshole like that,” he apologizes. “its okay,” I say. “NO its not!” he outbursts. I flinch and look at him frightened. “I’m sorry, but its not okay, I was being selfish by using a human to get an offer back. I regret it. Now I ruined your life, everyone knows you, everyone knows your alive,” he says.

“at least my life isn’t boring,” I say cheerfully, he looks at me and chuckles. “you’re a weird kid, I like it,” he says. I feel my cheeks flush, luckily its dark out though.

“why the masks?” I accidentally blurt out. Fuck Frank! He smiles at me.

“hide your true identity,” he says. I nod understanding what that meant.

“I soon have to hide yours,” he says. I snap my gaze toward him and furrow my eyebrows. He smiles and looks at me beaming. “yup, you need an alter-ego and a mask as well,” he announces. I felt a smile tug on my lips. “Awesome,” I whisper. He laughs and looks at me, I blush again knowing he heard me.

“your gonna be a riot, I just know it,” he laughs again, I laugh with him this time.

Spending time with him is like super smooth and fun. I enjoy his company, I don’t regret finding that mask anymore.

“can…I.. um.. Can I?” I start but stop. He looks at me, “what? Say it,” he says.

“can I see your face?” I ask turning away looking at the ground embarrassed. He just looks at me and turns his head away.
“In due time kid, in due time,” he answers. I felt disappointed but understand. He can’t trust me yet. But I don’t mind, he’s worth the wait I guess. He yawns and stretches making me copy him.

“well, I need to take you home before it gets late and that’s when all the shit starts, trust me, I don’t need to put you in danger,” he adds. I nod and stand up and follow him back down the ladder.

We make it to the bottom, now I’m feeling a cold breeze and I shiver. “Cold?” Poison asks me. I just shake my head no so he wouldn’t have to worry. “Don’t lie to me I can see it,” he chuckles. He grabs my hand and I almost melted. He started pulling me after him and so I follow jogging behind him. We turn a corner where I’m guessing is the ‘ghetto’ and walk onto a street that is barely lit. I see dark shadows dancing and prancing around. I pay attention to my surroundings and take in all the views I sight.

Houses that are rundown about to fall apart and trash littered across the street. Not any different from where I used to live, but at least less creepy and I know there are breathing souls in bodies living in these homes. He pulls me over another corner. We were jogging pretty fast. He then abruptly stops me and I almost fell because he put his hand on my chest while I was in motion. I was about to shout something when he clamped a hand over my mouth. I gasp and he pulled me into a bush. “ssshhh,” he says quietly putting a finger on his mouth. I nod and wonder why the hell we’re doing this. He looks over the hedge and waits for something. I don’t know what, but I sure as hell became curious. I slowly peeked my head over to see what he was looking at. I see men in uniforms wearing weirdo masks. They had grim faces and wild hair. “Minions,“ Poison says to me. I gave him a ‘what?’ look. “Minions,” he repeats, “They work for BL//ind,” he says to me. “oh,” I answer. They slowly walk past us without noticing our heads peeking over.

“Did you see that girls face?” one asks the other. “OH yeah she was like ‘nooo! I have a son!’ how pathetic, nobody cares, like seriously,” the other answers. “I’m glad you shot her!” the other replies. My heart just sank hearing that. How could they be so cruel? Killing an innocent person. I turn to Poison and see anger in his face. He was clenching his fists. I put my hand on his arm, he turns to me with his angry eyes. I was scared but tried not to show it. I gave him my please don’t do this look. He then loosened his tight fists and his eyes became dreary again. I gave a small smile and he nodded his head. As soon as they passed, we got out from our hiding place and I follow Poison to I’m guessing his lair. We were walking for what seemed like forever, until we made it. I see that its not a house at all. It’s a.. it’s a junkyard? I don’t know, but there is a lot of trash. He turns to me and smiles.

“Welcome to my home,” he says holding out his hand letting me walk in first. I look at him and see to where he was pointing his arms to. I walk forward and he follows behind me. I walk up to a door and see its hidden inside a large pile of dump. How cool. I look at him and he smiles. I walk more closely to the door and read a sign on it.

“Fuck with us or we’ll fuck with you!”

I chuckle at it and was about to knock, until Poison grabbed my hand. He shook his head no. “We got a secret knock,” I nod, of course you guys do. He smiles and tells me to step back. I see him lift his leg, why is he lifting up his leg? Then smashes at the door with his foot. Three times. I laugh at how fucking genius that is. “Well people use hands. Why not use feet?” he states. I laugh again at how unintentionally smart that is. Somebody opened the door slowly. I couldn’t see who it was because it was dark in there.

“Come on open the fucking door! We got a guest!,” Poison shouts at them. Then the door swings open and pops out a man with the most epic afro I have ever seen. I am literally gaping my mouth over this man with wondrously awesome hair. He smiles at me and looks at Poison and then shouts.

“GUYS WE GOT A FUCKING GUEST!! GERARD BROUGHT A GUEST!!” he says to cheerfully. Wait a minute…Gerard? I see Poison face palm himself. Then I see two other men run up behind the afro man. Haha afro man. A very skinny guy with blonde hair and glasses and a very stocky guy with blond hair and bangs in his face. I smile and blush. “Guys this is Frank, Frank this is Ray, Mikey, and Bob,” he introduces. I wave shyly. Poison pushes the guys out of the doorway. “Make room for him,” he demands. They move and let me walk in. I gasp at the sight. This is probably the most epic shit I’ve seen all day. I see the walls are covered with band posters and guns and and and fuck a lot of shit! I gape at everything, its so colorful and bright. I smile and love what I see. The guys smile back at me and love my reaction.

“This is awesome,” I whisper. “Thanks,” I hear one of them say and blush because they heard me. I smile at them and go back to my staring at their home. I’m in the living room I guess that looks like a ballroom. It was huge and had carpet. Red carpet. It had multicolored couches and chairs. Purple, green, red, black, orange, practically every color you could think of. I look at the walls and notice how tall they were. I gape at the band posters. Black Flag, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Hirax, Circle Jerks, and all the bands I love basically. I turn my face back towards them and had the biggest grin ever. They laugh at me.

“I like this guy already,” Mikey says to me, well I thinks he’s Mikey right? “ I love your home,” I say. They just smile in reply. “I love all these bands and I love the colors and I love like everything,” I say happily. “I don’t regret meeting you,” I look straight at Poison. I notice he was the only one wearing a mask, the others weren’t. He blushed and looked down. My stomach leaped on the inside, I cant believe I made him blush!

He looks back up at me and smiles. “Me neither kiddo,” he replies back to me. I smile and wait for what to do next. “So? What do we do with him?” Ray asks, no wait Afro Man! I laugh at my thought. “uh…give him a bed and feed him, he must be starving after all the shit I put him through,” Poison replies. “Uh…Gerard, why you still have your mask on?” Mikey asks. Gerard? Is that his name? He smirks at him and sighs.

“You’re a lucky kid ya’know?” he says directly to me. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. The guys look at us like they had no idea what was going on. I honestly didn’t know either. He put his hand behind his head and pulled off the mask. I looked at him trying not to gape my mouth open, but oh man was he a beautiful man. I see his hazel eyes more clearly and his cute nose and the hair that perfectly falls around his face. I see his skin that is oh my god smoothly and pearly white. I stare at him with wide eyes. He gives me a weird look. “What?” he asks. I break my gaze and start blushing. “Uh.. Sorry its just weird seeing your face,” I say and rub the back of my neck. Smooth Frank real smooth.

The guys laugh at him and he gets angry. “Shut up!” he yells. I flinch and felt bad for saying it. I look down ashamed and tried not to make eye contact with him.
“Dude did you even tell him your name?” Mikey asks. Poison glares at him and shakes his head no.

“Jesus Christ! Poor kid, he doesn’t even know your name!” he yells at him. I look at the both of them and see a little resemblance. The eyes, yes the eyes and the perfectly shaped jaw line. Oh god I was checking them out. Jesus Christ Frank! Stop it! I shake my head from my thoughts and look at them argue.

“Dude you just don’t pop up to someone and not tell them your name at least!” Mikey says. “Well I didn’t think he was gonna come home with me!” he yells back. “ It doesn’t matter!” Mikey replies. “I don’t let anyone know my name until he’s fully trusted,” Poison shouts back. Mikey became angry.
“It doesn’t matter, because he of all people should have a right to know your name. you stalked him and you watched him and you kidnapped him and you almost got him into human trafficking!” Mikey shouts back. He looked like he’s been stabbed, but with words. Poison glares at Mikey with menacing eyes that scare the living daylights out of me. Mikey just stood his ground just as intimidating. I started envying him and like him way better. “You shouldn’t tell me what to do little bro,” Poison says finally. Woah! that’s his brother? I thought he said? Oh fuck it! I stare at the both of them and felt the tension between them as well as Ray and Bob. “I’m… I’m.. I’m sorry I caused trouble,” I squeaked out. They both looked at me with angry eyes. I whimpered back. “I’ll go,” I say and walked fast to the door. “NO! YOU ARE NOT!” Mikey shouts at me. I flinch and turn around. “no,” was all Poison says. Oh Gee wiz a single no would have stopped me, smooth Poison very smooth. Mikey walked towards me and I was afraid of him. He grabbed my arm and pulled me towards Poison. I planted my feet to the ground and shook my head no.

“oh my god! Gerard he’s fucking scared of you!” he shouts at him. My eyes bulge and I don’t want to be near anyone right now. Poison or wait Gerard rolls his eyes and looks at me blankly. I became angry with him. Why is he acting like this? “Apologize,” he says to him. Wow, he’s treating him like a child. I look at him and look away because of his menacing stare. “Why?” he finally says. Mikey became infuriated.

“Goddammit! Gerard just apologize and stop scaring the poor kid!” he yells at him. “Fine! I’m sorry!” he says throwing his hands up. “Seriously? Mean it!” Mikey replies. “Shut the fuck up Mikey! Your not my mom and definitely not my dad! Now leave me alone!” he bellows. I felt Mikey tense up whilst he was still holding my arm. Gerard is about to walk off, but then turns around. Give me him!” he says. He walks straight to Mikey and I swore he was gonna hit him, but he didn’t. I sigh of relief. Instead he grabs me and pulls me out of Mikey’s grip. I gasp and felt frightened and scared more than ever. I hate the angry Gerard. “You better not hurt him!” I hear Mikey shout. I gulped harshly and was being tugged into a backroom. I hear Gerard snort. “Why would I?” he says quietly. I was shaking… badly. He opens the door and see a huge bed in there with an easel and a TV along with a radio on a nightstand. I’m guessing its his room. He lets go of me and closes the door. I stood there awkwardly and watched him walk around his room throwing things in drawers casually. I was shaking and didn’t want to go near him. “I’m sorry,” he says softly. I look up at him and stare at him, he was looking back at me. “I should have told you my name, Mikey was right, but I’m used to my ways,” he explains. “Its okay,” I say barely a whisper. He smiles and pats the side next to him telling me to sit. I walk toward him afraid he’ll lash out and sit down away from him. “Hungry?” he asks. I nod and smile. He gets up, “uh..this is my room, but its yours for now.” he says and walks away. I lay back and smile to myself. This is rather an interesting day. I pull on a huge grin and stare at the ceiling. It hasn’t been this crazy since I found that mask. I start to relax and finally realize how exhausted I was. I really like this Gerard guy.
