Behind The Mask

Hey Brother

     There was only the beautiful environment in front of him. The ocean. The grass. The trees. The birds. The sky. That's all that was around him. No humans. Nothing that could stain this view.
The ocean kissing the rocks as the breeze blew through his whole body. It was surreal. 

Yet, his mind can't get the image of the bottle floating out in the ocean out of his mind.

It stained the scene...and he hated it.

Flash Back

"That's right. A lot of these evil criminals serve no justice and it's all because of the people in higher power. And these people try to make excuses for these evil criminals based on their age, whether be it sixteen or twenty. Even when all the evidence is there, people will still fight for them. That mentality is insane. And that's why...people today are never free. Because freedom can be taken by evil and as long as this evil exists...we will never, ever have true freedom." 

Flash Back Ends

Chase kept on replaying that memory in his mind over and over and over again. He wiped the single tear that streamed down his cheek. 
He felt like his head was gonna explode. His chest was tight and his shoulders felt heavy. His whole body felt so heavy that he began to shiver. 
He started to think about his whole life. When he escaped Keres' mansion to where he was adopted by Ryder to where he changed for the pups to where he revealed his life to where he joined Lincoln to where he killed his uncle to where he went to Vegas to stop Keres to now.
Was it all wrong?
The more he tried to appeal to his own emotions, the more conflicted he felt and the more thoughts to his counter thoughts to counter other thoughts arose. 

"The fact that...there's more people out there like that...I was...so disappointed." Chase softly spoke to himself. There wasn't anyone around him at all and he was well aware of that. So why did he talk out loud? 

All he's ever known was a world of pain and suffering. But he also had that taste of being loved and cared by. And he had dreamed of a world free from all of that pain. He wondered when it would all end. He wondered when he would be free from it all and he could just live his life in peace.
So when he find out that the world that he dreamed of wasn't real, he was more disappointed than ever. He began thinking back to his days where he was just a little puppy, still in Keres' hands. He wasn't free then, he wasn't free before and he wasn't free now. But he had to remember that conversation with Keres. Chase had always believed in the cruelty of the world and he had to realize the fact that even when Keres would be gone, there will always be people who will try and take the freedom away from him and other innocent people who haven't done anything to anyone.
There are still people out there like her. Worse than her.
Keres taught him that...there will always be someone, something in his way and the ones he cared about and the innocents.
And in the end...he wanted to get rid of them all.

What would Brutus think? Chase thought to which he found strange.
Thinking that would be the one dog or anyone he would care about their thoughts on what he considered doing and not doing.
What would he think if he just took part in the kind of actions Keres wanted? If It was eliminating evil, would he still oppose to it? Even if it meant committing genocide? But it's against the evil ones. Would anyone find a problem with that? Crime rates would drop and innocent people and children won't have to be killed and suffer because of these monsters. Yet, it's against the law to kill. So, would he be in the wrong? But why?
How many people have suffered because there are those monsters who take their freedom away, make them suffer and take their loved ones away? Those innocent people are left in sadness and have to live the rest of their life with trauma, fear, sadness, anger, and guilt. It will always be there with them. 

But people will always say, "That's life." or something like "Life is unfair.". 
It always bothered the Shepherd to an extent. On how these creatures with power are willing to accept that kind of life. Yeah, death is inevitable but people will carry on to say, "Live your life." or "Do what you want, it's your life.".
Are there different people who think this way separately? Are there people who think both of these ways? 
In that case, why not make life fair? Yeah, things like sadness, pain, and suffering won't go away. But it shouldn't be caused by...by murder...caused by people who enjoy it, or do it out of any other reason.
