The Blue Mask
By:Brenden Blakley
I was terrified. There was a test coming up in math class. I was sure I was going to fail. I had not studied at all last night. I walked nervously down the hall to Mrs.Vessar’s class. I know I will fail but I still try my best in class. The teacher calls my name ”Tera.” to get the test I start the test with sweat dribbling down my face. I answer the first question, 10x + 3y = 24 - 3 - 4x. The answers seem to come easily but I feel like I’m missing each question when I get to the end and answer the extra credit. I walk up to the teacher and turn in the paper. I look around and realize that I am the first one done. I am mortified. My thoughts race, I must have done something wrong, should I get my paperback …show more content…
I started looking up things on the French revolution like what it meant, why it started, and when did the tides turn. I got stuck and looked out my window and saw someone in a mask walking down the sidewalk and I thought it isn’t Halloween yet, is it? No, it’s not Halloween yet. I look closer at the person walking in the mask and saw the mask they wearing looks like my mask, wait it is my mask! I get closer to the window and see that the man is coming closer to my house. I am petrified. He is wearing my mask, coming towards my house. I run to my room and pick up the phone my first thought is to call the police but this could be just a coincidence so instead I call Gylfie. She tells I am probably just tired and being paranoid and talks me down. I hang up the phone and look out the window and he is gone. I hear scratching coming from the window and see the man in the mask, that suddenly has a knife clawing at the window. Then the power shuts off. Oh no I think as I silently curse to myself. I think about what could I do. I could run to Gylfie’s house. I could call the police. I chose to run to the phone and call and I looked at it and it was dead. Oh no. There is no power and the man is probably through the window I decide to stall and lock my door and grab a weapon I choose a lamp that is sitting on my bed side because he has a knife I could throw my lamp and make a quick getaway. I heard footsteps and they are getting louder. I get into a stance with so much fear it probably radiated off me. A loud knock rang in my ears as he banged on the door. I stand still staring at the door waiting for it to burst open then I see a knife pierce the door then it retracts and makes another, then another, then another. Soon it looks as if there is a big circle in the door. He then bangs on the door and there is my mask. I throw the lamp at him then try to run past him
