Darkness hung around the quiet house, like cobwebs that couldn't be shook off. Ranboo wandered the cabin, whimpering softly. Every step he took echoed through the silent house. He paused at the end of the hallway. A light was being emit from a crack in the door. He hoped it was his papa. He opened the door and screamed. Blood coated the walls, staining them red. His father lay in the center of the room. His hair that was normally kept in a neat braid, was curtaining his face. Ranboo ran to him, shaking him and begging him to get up.

Suddenly, a hand found its way onto his shoulder. He yelped as his face was roughly forced up to meet a smiley mask. A tea kettle laugh sounded through the room. He was enjoying the little one's pain. Hot tears poured down his face. He shook with fear as the man held a bloody axe up, as if to show him that it was him. "It's your fault, you little pest." "If only, you had been better." The man's tone was condescending, almost like he was scolding him.

Ranboo sobbed and clung to the cooling body of his father. It's your fault...

Ranboo woke with a loud cry. Tears burned his face and his body felt achy. He wanted his papa. He curled tightly around himself. The man's last word echoed around his head, like a song. The cage bars dug into his skin, causing even more pain into his young body. I hope papa will come in rescue me, I wanna go home. But hope is all the child could do.

A man in green watched with great amusement as the Blade held his blade to his own brother's neck. He was getting a kick out of watching Techno run around like a headless chicken. He grinned sharply, deciding to toy with him longer. Let's see how long it takes before he snaps. The man continued to watch, his presence unknown to anyone.
