Chapter Text
Awaking from a deep sleep I opened my eyes and peered out into the empty space. I saw the Earth, big, blue, and beautiful. I’ve been up here for God only knows how long, and everyday I still miss home. My family, my dog, they’re all waiting for me. I can’t wait to see my daughter again.
Sighing I got out of my pod, and made my way to the eating cordors. Seeing as I was the first one awake I quickly grabbed some food, stuffing it into my mouth before walking back to my pod, I put on my mask that covers most of my face besides my left eye. The less scared one. After cursing myself for forgetting it in the first place I walked to the task board. Seeing as my tasks were quite mundane and easy I started working.
First I had to clean the floors. Well I cleaned I heard more people’s pods opening, I didn’t look behind me when I heard voices coming from the hallway.
“Ah you're up early.” I heard one say, I grunted in response and kept cleaning. He chuckled, I heard his footsteps getting closer to me so I finally turned around. My eyes went wide as I finally realized who I was talking to.
“Ah, shit, sorry sir, I thought you were someone else..” I muttered. Looking behind him I saw that no one was coming, so I returned my attention back to my master. His similar mask hides everything on his face besides his right eye. It looked similar to mine, just more clown-like. He nodded before reaching a covered, clawed hand out to me, I took it momentarily before letting it go. He hummed before speaking, “Speaking of other people, you haven’t been keeping up with the killings…” His voice darkened from its original playful one. I nodded slowly before looking down.
“I know sir, and I’m sorry. I’ve been busy.” I whispered.
“With what? We don’t even need to eat, let alone do anything related to helping out with other people.” He had an edge to his voice that made a shiver run up my spine.
“I-…I know..” I sighed softly before turning from him. I felt his glare but I ignored it.
“Kill Blue when he wakes up. Lure him to someplace with a vent, and fucking kill him.” He whispered into my ear, venom dripping from voice.
“Yes sir…” I whispered back.
It didn’t take long before Blue awoke, he’s always awake right after Green and I. Begrudgingly I walked up to him.
“Oh, good morning Black, do you need something?” Blue is always nice to me, I wanted to keep him for last, but I don’t have a choice now. I nodded and softly grabbed his hand, I made my way to Electrical with him right at my side. I sighed when the door closed, the look of confusion was one that hurt me, but not as much as the look of betrayal and hurt he was wearing when I pulled out my gun and pointed it straight at him.
“I’m…I’m so sorry Blue…I didn’t want to do this, but he’s forcing me to.” I looked away from him with my eyes, I couldn’t stand the look on his face.
“Who-...Who’s forcing you? We can talk about this-” I loaded my gun, “Please! I can help you!” His voice was full of panic.
“How.. How will you help me escape this hell I was put into?” I asked, looking into his eyes.
“I’m smart! I’m sure I can figure out something!”
“Really now? You really believe you can help me?”
“Yes! Now please put the gun down.” He begged me. I looked away once more, this time longer. He sighed, making me look back at him.
“Well if you really have no choice… Can you at least show me your face? I’ve always wanted to know what’s under there, and if these are my final moments.. Then please, just grant that wish…” My face? He actually wants to see what underneath? I hummed in amusement. I thought about it for a second before nodding.
“Fine. You will be dead after so I guess I have no worry about you telling someone.” I said softly, I reached for my mask and slid it off. Looking into his eyes with my own mismatched ones all I could see in his eyes was an emptiness.
“You’re…”
“Hideous, I know.”
“No, you’re beautiful…” My eyes widened, I faltered slightly, almost dropping my gun.
“Beautiful?” I asked, voice small. He just nodded. Tears flooded my vision, I could hear him walking closer to me, then I felt it. His arms wrapping around me, pulling me into a tight embrace.
“I-...”
“Shh..Let them out.” That’s all I needed to hear before the floodgates opened up and I sobbed openly into his suit, I dropped my mask and the gun, clenching his suit in my fists. He just rubbed my back.
“Black.” I looked up at him through my tears.
“I’m…so sorry..” That’s the last thing he said to me before I felt a blinding pain in my back, I screeched and pushed him away, looking down I could see the end of a knife sticking out of me.
“You…Why..?” I fell to my knees, I heaved and coughed. Growling I grabbed the gun right as the doors opened, he didn’t make it very far before I shot him in the leg making him fall over with a yelp. I panted, putting back on my mask and struggling to get onto my feet. I stumbled over to him, still crying, and pointed the gun at his head.
“It was a lie wasn’t it?”
“Of course! You’re fucking hideous just like you said, a freak of nature!” He glared up at me. I pulled the trigger.
They found his body an hour after I shot him dead. Green was pleased that I managed to kill him but kinda pissed at how long it took me to kill him.
Everyone thought it was Red that killed him, there only evidence of that was because Red hated him.
Three more to go.
Four more days until they go home.
Four more days until we fail.
