I had did it-
Micheal was going to live.

"Mom" then said,

Game over!

Report to the kitchen ASAP.

Well I didn't really have to run, I was already in the kitchen.

I went to the table, sat down, and looked at the bowl infront of me. It was full of something, something we had to eat.

The other children came in with bruises, and blood on them.

Ignoring that fact, I stared at "Mom", she was smiling, but it wasn't the lighthearted type of smile. This was a smile of mischievous actions, and then as I was looking at her, she licked the blood off her lips.

Ew.

I thought.

But then again, I have done worse things.

I then heard Micheal groaning from the kitchen closet. I had to help him sooner or later. I looked at the medical kit above the kitchen sink. 'EMERGENCIES ONLY', it read.

A roach then crawled out of a crack from the glass covering it. I shivered, as I have a large fear of bugs.

"Mom" finally got to the table and the injured all sat down.

Eat up.

She said. Looking at the soupy bowl onfront of me, I picked up the spoon and filled it with soup. A chunk of grey-redish meat appeared from the falling soup.

I have to eat this though, I thought.

I pulled the spoon towards my face and opened my mouth. Soup and meat falling inside. I started swallowing and chewing. This meat was.. was not cow, pig, or sheep.

This was different.

It was like rubber, but meaty. The taste wasn't good.  While chewing on this mystery meat I thought about that girl in the basement. How she was stabbed and.. I never thought about the hole in her body.

It was as if, chunks of meat were-

We were eating her.

I almost choked on the meat as the thought flooded my mind. Tears almost coming out of my eyes. We had to eat all of this though.

5 long minutes later, the bowls were finished. Others had no clue what we had just ate, but I did. "Mom" said that we needed to save Micheal, or not if we didn't want to.

She then went upstairs, and some others huddled around him. I grabbed the roach infested med-kit and opened it, dust coming out making me cough. I rushed over to Micheal and checked his pulse. It was.. very bad. I then got the bandages out and wrapped it around his leg.

The bleeding soon stopped and I heard him snoaring. Chuckling, Sadie then got out the thread and needle. Poking the needle, they then said,

Don't worry, I have repaired before.

They then took of the bandages and stuck the needle through his skin. Micheal then slowly opened his eyes and they got wide once he saw his leg.

Quietly screaming, Micheal then said,

Y'know, I can't feel my leg.

We all giggled. Sadie was done sewing and put the needle in her pocket. "Mom" then brought Zoey into the room as Roman and Liam helped Micheal up.

A groaning Micheal, bloody and injured people, and 1 evil "Mom".

How could this get any more worse?
