Prologue
My name is Nathaniel Erron Davis. I was to star in a play called “Mad Fools”. I was,until I got caught dealing drugs with Cole.
I had a history of depression and drugs had always helped me. Cole found out and asked me if I could give him some whenever I could. I quickly agreed.
It was about two days before the performance of Mad Fools when I had finally gotten caught giving drugs to Cole. Honestly,I had expected it and was wondering when I would get caught. The people who found us were understudies. Two of them were for me and Cole and the other for Jackson who was playing Oli in the play.
In that moment I just couldn’t help myself. My mind was screaming only two words: kill them, kill them, kill them! I couldn’t let this happen,I couldn’t get caught. They can hear my heartbeat can’t they? They can hear the voices in my head can’t they? At that moment I had no control over my body. I had leapt forward and strangled one to the floor until they passed out. “Kill them!” I had yelled at Cole. Cole stood there for a second but before I knew it, his own understudy was laying on the floor,dead. Once the person I had been strangling was dead,I had leapt onto Jackson’s understudy. He had actually put up a fight but was soon to the ground after Cole helped me.
“We need to get our masks!” Cole yelled to me.
“Why?”
So other people don’t know who we are.”
I had other opinions but I was in too much a hurry to care. We sprinted into the changing rooms, grabbed our masks, and ran out.
I forgot to tell you that before I killed my own understudy, he had called the cops.
We heard the sirens and started running faster than ever. I had never known I could run that fast. A cop car had stopped beside us and a police officer came out. Shortly after that,I id felt hands grab onto my shoulders and force me to the ground, hands behind my back. I struggled and struggled but no use, this cop was too strong. I saw Cole stop and look back. At first, I thought he would abandon me, but he came back and knocked the cop off of me.
I got up quickly and bolted ahead. Cole not far behind me.
The cop was just doing his job: to arrest me and take me to jail, but I was still mad at him for trying to do that.
We ran into an abandoned building that was next to where the play was supposed to be performed.
We spent the night there and in the morning we came out of the building. We dined the streets and found clothes hanging outside of a house, drying. I was still in my costume for the play-which were very uncomfortable- so I suggested that Cody and I steal some clothes. We went into the yard the clothes were hanging from and stole clothes. I stole a bright red hoodie and black jeans while Cody stole a yellow hoodie and blue jeans. We decided to we needed weapons, I mean it’s not like we were going to go back to normal life, so we went inside the house. I was to make sure that the coast was clear while Cody got knives and/or guns. Cody came back with sharp, clean, beautiful knives. I told Cody we should go. We had our masks, mine was a blue drama mask and Cody’s was an orange comedy mask, we had knives, and we had clothes. We then set out, not knowing that everything was going to be much harder than we thought.
