Hide Your Face, So The World Will Never Find You

Trudging by slowly I made my way through the abandoned cemetery. Ray and Mikey hot on my tail. My head snapped to attention at the slightest snap of a twig. I turned and placed my pointer finger to my lips to let them know to be silent. I then balled up my fist as a sign to stop all movement. They listened.

Swiftly I grabbed a mask from the satchel at my side. My fingers clung to the rubber material with care. I held it up to admire it briefly. The mask resembled Frankenstien. A funny pun due to my name. I had picked it up about four years ago. When the boys and I took on our new identities. For the revolution. We were prisoners to Blink for just under a year. We escaped during a transfer to another facility. For now there are other groups all around the world like us. Slowly starting to rebel against Blink.

WE go by Killjoys.

With a small smirk I slipped the mask over my face. Now I was no longer Frank. I am Fun Ghoul. Turning once again to face Ray and Mikey I am met with their new identities. Ray had placed on his wannabe space helmet, more like a biker helmet, and was now Jet Star. Mikey placed his yellow bandana over his face and was now Kobra Kid.

"Lets go..."

I smiled under my mask as they nodded silently in agreement.

We moved quickly and quietly. Dodging past tombstones and fallen branches. The moonlight settled creeping through the branches of dead trees. It was all perfectly silent until I heard the voices. So deadly familiar and monotone.

Blink Soldiers.

I hid behind a tree and peeked around to see how many we were up against. There were five of them. Dressed in all white with their creepy ass gorilla/zombie masks.I held up five fingers to let Jet and Kobra know how many of these creeps we were up against. They reply with simple nods.

Next few minutes happened so quickly, like a blur. We all pulled our weapons. Guns that honestly looked like toys. They are also inhanced, as in new technology. They fire lasers basically. It's awesome to me. With a simple gesture of my hand the three of us step out from our hiding positions. The five soldiers did not have a chance. Within nearly a single minute all five were done. Gone. Dead.

After a few victory high fives I gulped softly. This is the part I hate. I leaned down and one by one removed their masks. We found out a while ago that this is what happened to all the students. They were captured and brainwashed into becoming these. . .things. Which almost happened to us if we hadn't escaped during the facility transfer. After removing their masks we noticed no familiar faces.

Part of me was relieved.

Part of me was sad.

I also hoped slightly that I would remove one of these masks and be met with familiar red hair. Yes, I know that it would mean that Gee would be dead, but I would be able to see him one last time. It has been five years since this shit all went down. Five years since I have pressed my lips against his. Five years since I have felt his embrace. Five years since I have had the honor of seeing his smile, or get lost in those hazel eyes.

Five years.

Five

Years.

Too long.

I felt the tears well up in my eyes as I yanked away my mask and threw it to the ground. Fun Ghoul was my strength. My mask, but I needed these tears. I needed to feel like Frank again. Mikey kneeled down next to me. Yellow bandana around his neck. He wrapped a comforting arm around my shoulders. I threw myself into his chest and I felt Ray rub my back as I sobbed.

"C'mon Frank, lets get back to the house."

I nodded towards Ray who smiled comfortingly. Grabbing my mask I tucked it away in my satchel and we made our departure.

"Maybe tomorrow?"

I sighed and offered a small fake smile towards Mikey,

"Maybe tomorrow..."

I sighed. Knowing it wont happen. I felt the fact settle in, that I would never see Gee again.
