Chapter 2: Masked


Xale:


I need to get help, I run back inside and up the stairs, into my room. "Where's my stupid phone?"


I scurried around my room, I literally turned my room upside down until I remembered. "Xale you stupid idiot!"


My phone was in my right pocket, I reached into my pocket and pulled my phone out and quickly dialed 911 but there was no service. "Ugh, you piece of junk!."


I threw my phone through the window. Maybe Abrin's phone has signal. I hurry over to Abrin's house which was only down the street.


Abrin:


I planted my face into the carpet "Mom, Dad I'm sorry." I said sobbing.


A deep creepy voice startled me "Get up kid."


I got up and turned around to see two masked men wearing black cloaks, I slowly get up and said in a shaky voice "Who are you guys?"


In harmony the two men said "We are the future, we will reshape the world, we will fix the wrong to rights, we are the masked society."


Well if that isn't creep than I don't know what is. the left man said "You shall come with us."


The second man finished his sentence "For research purposes. We all hear a door slam coming from downstairs, it was the front door. "Go check who it is!" The left man said.


The right man nodded and ran downstairs. A voice came from downstairs and said "Abrin!"


I'd recognize that voice anywhere it was Xale. I try to warn him "Xale get the hell away from here." I hollered.


The man who stood before me wrapped his hand around my neck and said "Be a good boy and shut up will you. I struggled to get words out, but it was no use.


Xale:


The man who stood at the staircase gave me some bad vibes, "Where's Abrin?" I said.


The man didn't answer, "You idiot I asked you a question, now where is..."


The man quickly runs up to me and had a knife to my throat before I could finish my sentence. He whispered into my ear "Shhh.. Stop making so much noise."


Gosh darn it, I can't do anything, I'm helpless and I hate it.


Niastu:


"Lucy what happened?" I asked.


She seemed dramatize, looks like I'm not going get any answers from her. I told her to hop on my back and she did but here tears were still running down her face and onto my shoulder. I pulled out my phone and called Xale, No answer I try to dial Abrin and the same result no one answered. Ugh where is everyone when you need them. That's when I got the idea "Hey Lucy, do you want to go see uncle Abrin?"


She begins to wipe the tears from here face and said "Yay! Uncle Abrin!"


Looks like she's on board "Alright then, hold on tight Lucy."


She held on to me and I ran down the stairs carefully and out the door. In a few minutes we got to the corner that led to Abrin's house I quickly took a step around the corner and backed up just as fast. I put Lucy down "Stay here, I'm going to see what's going on."


I got up and looked around the corner, I could barely see Xale at Abrin's front door but his hands were up and something didn't seem right. I turned around and asked Lucy "Hey do you want to help me out really quick?"


No answer. I looked around and Lucy was gone "Lucy? I cried out.


Nali:


"What happened?" I asked myself.


I quickly ran back inside my house and ran into my room and picked up my phone and dialed 911. My phone responded with no signal. "Oh come on!"


A voice coming from outside said "There's no point."


I ran downstairs and back outside and it was Lucy, Niastu's little sister, "Lucy!"


She came sprinting towards me "Aunt Nali!"


She hugged my legs she was still a little short, and I still want to know why she calls me, Aunt Nail. I hug her and asked her "Where's Niastu?"


She looked around and dragged me inside and told me to sit down on the couch. She takes a breath and said "Mommy and Daddy were killed and Niastu is going to uncle Abrin's house but some creepy dude is over there as well as Xale."


Before she could say anything else a gun shot came through the window breaking the glass allowing the glass to fly every where. Lucy ran overt to me and I got us to cover under the table. Lucy begin to tremble like crazy, I asked her "What's wrong Lucy?"


She looks down and says "The man who killed mommy and daddy are here."


As she says that a man broke down my front door and yelled "Where is she? Where is Lucy?"


I stood up and pushed Lucy behind me and asked "Why do you want Lucy?"


The masked man was silent he slowly walked towards me dragging his feet and placed his hand on my head. And tightly grabbed my hair and to the other side of the room and as I hit the wall I couldn't move when I landed. The last thing I saw was the man picking up Lucy and throwing her around his shoulder before everything faded to black.


Arisa:


I laid there in tears, "why did this have to happen to you two and not me?" I laid there a while with a broken heart after losing my whole family. "Lucy? Lucy?"


The voice continuously got louder until I ran to the windows and looked around and saw Niastu at the end of the street, I quickly ran to my room and got changed and ran down the stairs and outside, "Hey, Niastu!" I hollered out.


He looked around and ran towards me and got up to me and said "Hey Arisa, is there by any chance you've seen Lucy anywhere?" he asked.


Oh no did something bad happen to Lucy? "Is everything alright?" Niastu shook his head as his arms begin to shake "Mom, Dad, they're all gone! I have to find Lucy, she's all I got left but now even she's gone. I have to find here." He said.


I told Niastu to calm down "Look you need to relax, I'll help you find here. lets go to Nali's maybe she wondered off over there and its only down the street so it shouldn't be too much trouble."


And away we went to Nali's house.
