5. Part

Another day

They grabbed me by my arms, each holding one, and forced me to walk outside the tent.
"You'll eat with others, your master will come for you soon," they said, making me aware.

Throwing me inside the building I was in earlier, the room without windows, I only could see Miku.
The man left, and I could see people throwing Kaito at me.
With Rin and Len coming in, several people came in, bringing trays of food.

They put them in front of every of us except for Kaito, and I've looked at Rin, expecting some sort of explanation.

"They fed him yesterday, he can't eat today because he has to be starving tomorrow, for the..."

"Rin," Len shut her up.

"What?" I wanted her to continue talking.

"So, Kaito is... geek," he said, looking at me with fear in his eyes.

A what?

I stayed silent, hoping they'll tell me about it.
"Do you know the meaning-" I could hear Rin ask.

"Of course she doesn't, she's new. She hasn't seen his act yet," he made me much more confused.
"You'll see tomorrow."

I made sure we're alone before taking some food off my tray and trying to give it to the guy with blue hair, I saw he is not gonna take it by himself.
Sheesh, do I have to feed him?

"We already tried, he literally doesn't want it," Len said, quietly sighing in frustration.
"He won't want..."

I looked at Kaito, waiting on him to disagree with it or anything else, but he just stared emotionlessly at Miku.
Before I could do more, a man stepped in, grabbing my arms, twisting them and walking out of the building along with me.

"Your master wants to see you," he tugged me towards a building that looked older than most.
He threw me at the wall next to the person who I ran from.
Slightly touching something that made something on my arm hurt, I looked and immediately successfully found a bruise.

"You can answer," he grabbed my chin, looking me in my eyes, holding me against the wall as he noticed I didn't already have my handcuffs on.
I waited until he asked:
"Do they talk?"

I was mentally struck, staring straight into his blue eyes.
Why does he think I'd give him the answer to that??

I shook my head, before, with his hand, he punched the wall next to me.
"Bullshit," he screeched in anger.

"Then what do you want? I'm telling the truth!"

Again, he punched the wall, making my heart beat even faster.

"Tell me."
He didn't seem this angry the first time I've seen him.
"Or I will make sure you won't even step a foot on the stage," he screamed right at me, until I was looking away from him, searching for some possible help.

WHAT?

I remember Miku's animal foot and my fingers.
"You wanna go on the stage or not?"

"I do," I choose not to have another part of me taken away, "I swear they don't talk to me, when I try to talk, they just stare at me!"
