I know I suck at updating and I'm sorry for taking like a year and making short chapters but I'm busy with school and work and I have some mental health issues so I'm trying, the picture isn't mine idk who it belongs to.

It's been 2 days since Uppermoon 3 left the cave, I don't know why he isn't back yet. I wanted to look for him but I felt if I did a demon slayer would see me and I don't want to find out what I'm capable of, but I got tired of just sitting around in the cave.

I went outside a few times when the sun was down, and tonight I sit and stare at the moon and think about my friends and family.
I wish I could see them again but I know if I did they would kill me or worse, I would eat them.

I start to feel something wet on my face and soon realize I'm crying. Ugh, This is so frustrating, I wish I could see my little brother, make him laugh, and see him smile at me and take care of him when our father won't.

"what are you doing?"

Says a voice behind me, startle, I cover my face with my hands trying to wipe my tears away as fast as I can.

"N-nothing, just getting some fresh air"

I said with a slight tremor in my voice.

"you were crying, weren't you? Why?"

Upper Moon 3 asked while taking a seat next to me.

"it's nothing, why do you care?"

"Because I want to know what made such a strong man cry"

"I... I miss my family and my friends"

"you remember them?"

"yeah, don't you remember your friends and family?"

He looked up at the moon and stared at it for awhile, then looked over at me.

"I remember some things, like their faces but, I don't remember who they are or who they were to me"

"oh..."

"Yeah"

"It must be hard not knowing how you grew up and who your family was, I don't know what I would do without them"

"you will soon, like I did, forget and being a demon will become second nature for you, no need for such weaknesses in your new life"

"they aren't weaknesses, they are the reason I fight, the reason I'm still alive"

"soon your reason to fight will be me, and your reason to be alive will be me"

"how are you so sure, huh?! You might become my reason to die, my reason to give up, because of you, I won't ever see my friends or my family again!!"

I am now sobbing, it feels like my heart is being torn apart and I feel so vulnerable, I can barley stand it...

Yay, the end of this chapter, and thank you for all the support I'm getting and those who have asked for another chapter, here ya go, I love you all your just amazing<3
