Trigger Warning: getting drugged mentions of past infant death.
Narrator's POV
Ciel groaned as he woke up, unknowingly rubbing the bruise on his head.
Flinching from the pain, he opened his mismatched eyes and looked around.
The blunette was greeted with the sight of a dark cave, which strained his eyes as it was hard to see.
Looking in the area closest to him, Ciel realized he was in the middle of a circle of blankets, cloths and furs.
Instead of being on a cold stone floor, the bottom of the circle was lined with more of the same materials the circle was made out of and there were easy a few pillows —actual pillows as well as makeshift ones.
Looking around, he saw two other circles identical to the one he was in; the other circles were all touching, even having small walkways in them so it was easy to move around.
Ciel wondered why the short structures had walkways when it was easy to step over the small cloth and fur barriers.
Not paying that any mind, his attention then turned to the massive amount of bones littering the floor around the three circles.
Suddenly, there was a bit of stirring in one of the other circles.
He saw the male wendigo from earlier —the one that had been bathing with the giant female— asleep cuddling a teddy bear that looked like it had been stolen from or had been left behind at a camp sight
Gulping a bit as he feared become the wendigo's next meal, he decided to try and escape while the female was still gone.
Standing up, Ciel bit his tongue harshly as he felt immense pain, trying not to scream —he must have sprained his ankle when he tripped over that root.
Deciding to solider on and try to escape, he winced in pain with every step, being careful not to step on any of the bones.
As he reached the mouth of the cave, his eyes widened in fear as he saw the female sitting at the entrance, her back to him as she watched the woods.
Knowing he definitely would not be able to leave, he turned around and returned to the circle he had been in.
Ciel then realized they were just circles...they were nests.
And since there were three of them, that implied there was at minimum three wendigo in this pack.
That was shocking, all the stories he read said wendigo were solitary creatures that rarely formed mate pairs.
He shuddered as he remembered a tale he had read where a man had become a wendigo and had eaten both his wife and their children once he succumbed to the eternal hunger.
The man had desperately tried to avoid eating them, but he had refused to leave them and when the curse had fully taken over he did it without remorse as he was just a mindless creature of instinct.
Ciel began to cry silently, not wanting to die.
After a few minutes of what felt like eternity, Ciel heard sucking and saw the boy in the other nest wake up.
"Wat wrong?" The male wendigo asked in a baby-like tone, "Are you hungy?"
Ciel shook his head, sniffling, "I want to go home."
The male wendigo tilted his head in confusion, "But dis is home! Mummy and daddies made the best nestie in da world! Is nice and safe and warm and has lotsa toysies!"
The wendigo pointed to the pile of toys in the empty nest that were made of wood and bones and fur.
Ciel continued to cry, not soothed in the slightest.
"Wat your name? I'm Alois and dis is my baby, Luka." Alois introduced, holding up his teddy bear
The blunette just blinked, "That is a teddy bear, not a baby."
"Yes it is! Feel!" Alois argued, handing him the stuffed animal
Ciel took the toy expecting to feel plushness, but his eyes widened as he felt something hard half-hidden by fluff.
Turning it around and looking through the stitches along the back, he saw the skeleton of a humanoid infant inside.
Nearly throwing the item away from him in fear and disgust, he barely managed to hand it back to Alois.
"W-What happened to Luka?" Ciel asked, knowing the supernatural forum would eat this story up if he managed to escape
"A wong time ago, wike three years ago, there was a second mummy in our pack but she was not a milk mummy wike Lizzy. Her name was Hannah and she wanted me to be her baby mate and have her babies and Daddy Claude wanted da same thing. So Mummy Hannah and Daddy Claude fought for me and Daddy Claude won so I became his. And then Daddy Claude gave me tummy babies and I had Luka. But Mummy Hannah was still mad that Daddy Claude won me so she ate Luka all gone!" Alois tearfully said, "So Daddy Claude killed her and ate her all gone too but before he ate her he cut her open and got Luka's bones. He found my teddy and put Luka inside so I can always give my baby hugs and love!"
Ciel's eyes brimmed with tears, that was horrible!
He had read that wendigo were willing to eat each other and even their own offspring but that was still horrific to hear.
The blunette heard footsteps approaching and saw the female wendigo —he guessed the one called Lizzy— heading towards them.
She picked Alois up and cradled him in her arms, "What is wrong, sweet baby, did you have a nightmare?"
Alois shook his head, "No, Mummy Lizzy, I thought about real Luka again."
Lizzy gave him a kiss on the forehead, "Oh, poor darling, let's get you happy again."
Seeming to know what that meant, Alois latched onto her breasts and began to breastfeed like a baby.
After a few moments, he unlatched and nuzzled into her arms, smiling and giggling cutely as he was milk drunk.
Ciel then noticed Lizzy turn to face him.
"Are you hungry, new baby?" She asked, "It will be awhile until Sebastian and Claude return from hunting."
The blunette shook his head, too scared to do anything...
