Chapter 11 - Jessie Masoner (Behind the Mask)
"So detective what can I do for you today, well tonight?"
"You can shut up, and wait until I ask you a question."
"Well now all this hostility, I think I will wait until my lawyer is present until I answer any questions from the likes of you, until next time."
As I walk away I look down at what is still clutched in my hands from earlier in the night.
"Well detective have you changed your attitude or do I actually have to hold you to bringing my lawyer here?"
"I just have a couple of questions for you and I'd like it if you can answer them to the best of your knowledge."
"I will do what I can do."
"Can you tell me how this all started?"
"I suppose it all started when I first found the site. Looking at back I realize it was quite a matter of luck I am even here. It was when I was at work one day at lunch just surfing the net for anything zombie related, mostly I found a bunch of garbage sites. A few of the sites were quite helpful but other than that I was going to give up. I don't remember whose story I found first but I know that within the first week of finding the site I read and re-read just about every story in the horror section. Well after about two months I figured that I might as well submit a story that I wrote get some feedback and see if I can become a better writer overall."
"So how did you end up here?
"Invite."
"I am under the assumption that you received a package as well, can you tell me what was in it?"
"It was a Kitsune mask, as you may or may not know the name I go by is Behind_The_Mask and I suppose the Admin has done his homework on how the Japanese fox demon would deceive those around it, by donning a mask of sorts."
"Have you tried it on yet?"
"Not yet I was waiting until I got home." "Why did the Admin choose to give you a mask, what could it have been used for?"
"As I told you, the Japanese fox demon, often hide who they are to go with what is around them, basically you'll have to do more research if you want to find out more. The reasoning behind his choice in gift should be an obvious one, my net id."
"Thank you for your time please take my card and let me know if anything else comes to mind."
Later That Night
Thinking out loud, "Well now admin, what have we here fortunately for me I know a bit more about this mask than you think."
"Are you talking to yourself again, young master?"
"And who would you be, and where are you hiding?"
"Ahh but I believe you know the answer to both of those questions, there is no need for me to answer them is there?" "Amuse me."
"If I must, I am the spirit that resides in this mask, you can call me Mae."
"Well Mae, I know who you are and what you are but tell me something why have you taken residence in my mask?"
"Oh well that is a long story for another time, but I am here now to assist you in your own quest for knowledge. At this moment you have two choices, you can put the mask on and gain all of my knowledge or you can destroy it and banish me forever. Choose wisely."
After a few minutes I picked the mask up and placed it upon my face.
Hours Later
I awake to the sound of my phone ringing, I am in a dark alley with memories flashing thought my head, all I know is there is blood on my hands and I don't know where I am.
"Ahh so you are awake now, I have had my fun while you were asleep, but I believe it is time to get moving unless you want to spend the rest of your life in prison that is if they let you live that long considering what you have done."
"What are you talking about" as the world swirls around me I see every color imaginable, it looks like a bad acid trip, but the thing is I don't do acid, hell I barely take aspirin for my headaches.
"You'll find that there is a coat lying next to you, put it on and get a move on. I will fill you in if I find the need, one more thing put the hood on, it would appear that a few people can see the mask, that will all be fixed soon enough."
On The Run
"Ok now talk, what happened?"
"Well you see this is where I originally found you."
"Found me?"
"Yes as you know, the older a kitsune gets the smarter it becomes until the time when it will become omnipotent, you are not like many of the others here you were sent here on a mission to protect someone else, that other person is unknown to you and I do not feel the need to tell you at this time. The main thing is that you captured the assassin and you were going to wait until after "Project 30" to execute him, but with the death of the admin and with a bit of help from me you were able to put the one responsible for the assassination attempt to rest, now I'm sure your memories are slowly coming back to you, and I was able to take care of some work I had to take care of."
"Where are we?"
"Too busy thinking?"
"Yeah it is a bit difficult to think about what you're saying and think about what I'm going to say and concentrate on exactly where I'm going at the same time."
"Well you should be more attentive to your surroundings."
"Tell me something, do you remember getting to the party?"
"Yeah I received my invite and I left a while later I was there."
"A while later, you do realize it is rather far from your home, and you don't remember boarding a plane or driving a car or taking a bus?" "Well...No."
"Listen carefully I believe that you are being used be some unknown force, well to you that is, to achieve their goals."
"Who would use me, and why?"
"I cannot say since merging consciousness with you I have been losing my perspective of the entire world around me."
"Wait, what?"
"Since you put the mask on your mind has slowly been taking over mine."
"I don't fully understand."
"Sleep now, we'll talk later."
Awakening
"Its time to reveal it all. No longer will a shroud of denial hide you. You are not one of them but you are not one of us. Through the depths of time you were there, watching waiting. You were slain and I thought I lost you forever, and now when we need you the most you are back, but you are lost. Will you come thought in the end? Only time will tell."
"Time to wake up...if you don't wake up now your going to be late."
"Late for what?"
"Your big debut "
"My what?"
"The end of things to come is just around the corner, will you make it in time? Can you save those around you? Can you save me?"
"I will...I.... Can't.... Fail...."
"Don't...Forget...M.... e...."
