Fun

Where am I? I opened my eyes but it was still pitch black around me. I moved my arms and legs but felt that something was preventing me to separate them from each other. I scrunched my nose.

Its rancid in here. "Someone's finally awake."

She outsmarted me. Shit. Where's Zen? "Fuck you Helen." I took a deep breath and pushed my arms and legs to separate. It didn't work. I sighed and relaxed them instead.

"Woah there. Don't you think that's a bit much. We're still friends right?"

"Fuck you. You kidnapped Bea and our friends for what? For this silly thing you're doing?"

"Me? I didn't kidnap anyone."

"I did." A distorted voice said. Its her. So she really was the mastermind, but if its not Helen, then who? Someone suddenly pulled off the cloth over my head. I squinted my eyes to the light of the room. I looked around and saw that the room was lit up by torches on the walls. There was a circular stone table in the middle of the room with stains of red. Several hooded people were standing around the room. Helen was sitting on a throne across from me. I looked to the right, towards the person who took off the cloth. They were wearing a hooded robe with a mask.

"Welcome Dos! I'm glad that you're finally able to see this!" The person in the mask moved in closer to my face. "How are you?"

"What do you think?"

"I was just trying to be polite." Who is she? She stopped looking at me and skipped to my left.

"Now." She stopped by the person to my left. Their arms and legs were tied together the same as me with a dark cloth over their head. No. It can't be! Please no! She pulled off the cloth. Shit!

"You assholes! Let them go!" I squirmed trying to stand up or move even just a bit to get closer. I looked behind me and saw that I was tied up to a stone podium.

"Huh? What? Where am I?" They blinked their eyes open and looked around.

"Let Zen go!" I pushed the stone podium back to make it fall but to no avail.

"Welcome Zen!" The masked person spun around. "To our humble place."

"Dos? Where are we?" I looked at Zen and shook my head.

"I was right. Helen was a spy." I glared at Helen.

"Should've listened to yourself." Helen scoffed. She stood up and stretched. She pulled the hood of her robe over her head.

"Where's Bea?" I looked at Zen then around the room. One of the hooded people must be Bea.

"She's safe, if that's what you're worrying about." Helen sat back down on her throne. "Right?"

"Of course." The person with the mask walked to the middle of the room, right in front of the table. "So let's begin, shall we? To welcome our guests we have prepared some gifts for you, ten of them to be exact." She gestured to the stone podiums to her right and left. On top of them were cloth bags. What the hell is happening?

"This is ridiculous! We gave you Helen back and now give us Bea!" Zen pushed left and right to try break the rope tied around their arms and legs. The masked person put a finger on their lips. She clapped her hands. The room went dark. One by one, a hooded person appeared beside a stone podium with a torch.

"Let's start with the one nearest you, Dos." She jumped up and down then pointed to the stone podium to my right. I looked at it. The hooded person picked up the cloth bag and opened it. They slowly pulled something out of it.

"SHIT!" I looked away from it and closed my eyes. No! No! No! I slowly opened my eyes and saw that it was indeed Maine's severed head on the stone podium. I heard Zen start to barf beside me. One by one the hooded people took out the severed heads of my friends - Scorpius, Pan, Robin, Rammie, Flounder, Asterion, Virginia, Oceanna, and Snow.

"This is a joke right?" I looked at where I thought Helen was. "Those heads are fake, right? You didn't kill our friends, right?"

"Oh but they are." The distorted voice said. "The finger and hand were fake though." What? Shit! I felt my heart pounding.

"Why did you do this? Why are you doing this? HOW CAN YOU DO THIS?" I desperately tried to get out of the binds they put on me. "Why did you kill our friends?" I felt tears form in my eyes.

"For our savior!" The distorted voice laughed. The room started shaking. I felt a strong wind go past me. The ghost. The room suddenly lit up in flames and red liquid. The ghost appeared behind the masked person, as a silhouette made out of blood and flames of what seems to be an angel.

"Ahhh, the final sacrifices. The tastiest of them all. I enjoyed that blood sample." It said in a low deep tone. "When will I be able to eat them?" The masked person turned around and bowed to it. Is this real? Am I dreaming? I looked at Zen. They were just staring at the being. The masked person turned around and bowed.

"Soon, my lord." They turned back around. They started chanting something. The chanting got louder as the hooded people in the room joined in. I looked around. Where? What? How can we? Shit!

"It's no use baby. They got us." I turned to look at Zen. Tears were falling down their face.

"No, babe. It can't be. I still want to grow old with you." Tears started falling down on my face.

"I do too, in our house, away from all the noise of the city, just us two." We tried stretching our arms towards each other.

"Awwww. How touching." The distorted voice said. "Robert." Robert? I looked behind us and saw that Robert was walking towards us wearing the same robe and holding an axe. There was another person beside him. I watched as they stopped walking and positioned themselves beside us.

"Goodbye Dos, goodbye Zen," Robert said.

"You don't have to do this."

"I do, for our savior."

"Oh by the way." Who said that? I know that voice. "The body was fake too." I felt a chill go through my entire body. I looked towards the the masked person. They finally took off their mask.

Bea. I felt a sharp blade slice my neck.
