"So do you like your new job Megumi?" He asked tauntingly, "...." Megumi said nothing. She was in a narrow room, in front of her was a machine, a machine full of red liquid and pieces with a light red color leading into the wall. "This will be your job, think of it as a punishment for killing the innocent" the words fading away the further he walked, the sound of the lock clicking echoing slightly. Megumi punched the wall "A village like this should have never existed, I shouldn't have existed here... I should've been in a big city in the spotlight...so why?.." she cried as she shed a small number of tears. Megumi's job has been assigned as cleaning the machine, keeping it in order, spectating results. She never wanted to do this, being forced with 2 others to be slaves with the threat of a stake through there hearts. The people say they have no one to blame but themselves for being in this situation with the desperation to be alive for a reason or another, begging not to be killed and being taken in as slaves with the hanging threat of the death they desperately wished to escape. However death is inescapable no matter what you do.

"Now listen here Ms. Murderess, your job is to carve the stakes and clean the weapons simple, it should be easy enough for a terrible being as you" said the man, inside a room filled with wood, weapons, knives, baskets,towels, a table with a chair and a sink. "Understood sir.." Kazuko told the man with a slight look of obedience on her face. The man's footsteps could be heard fading as the man walked away and out the door, the sound of the lock closing her in the room with materials which will be used to kill her kind reminded her of how bad her situation really is. Taking a quick look around the room she walked towards the table with the chair and sat on the chair looking around with her head then crossing her arms on the table as she put her head down. A heavy sigh could be heard throughout the room, after a few minutes she decided to grab a few pieces of wood and start carving stakes knowing what would happen if she didn't make a large amount by nightfall.

A female named Yuuka followed a man into a room quietly upon reaching the door and opening it Yuuka was shoved into the room "Get up a creature like you should be able to handle that" the man said as Yuuka silently stood up. "You're assigned to wash the clothes and make sure they're ready for an instant change." Yuuka gave nothing but a silent and small nod the man walked to the door as Yuuka stared at his back the slam of the door was a bit much for her ears as she covered them with her hands for a split second. The sound of the man locking the door from the outside was a terrible sound to her ears, looking around the room she saw a tab with a hand she assumed was for filling the medium size baskets next to it with water, a cabinet containing soap bottles and sponges, next she saw a small board she thought must have been for setting clothes on to rub stains out, afterwards she saw a pair of gloves lying on the top of the cabinet "At least they gave me gloves..." lastly there was a basket full of clothes most were covered in blood, now she saw them she smelt a small amount of blood in the air. She sat down in the corner thinking why she did this to herself.

Outside the female's rooms it was quite social one might even think it was a party....if it weren't for how they were covered in blood enjoying food as if it was a normal day... "Are you sure it was right bringing 3 shiki's and using them as slaves? They could attack us." said a man enjoying his food as if it was a family dinner "Yes if we waste time doing these chores then the shiki will succeed" said Ozaki, the head doctor in the village ironically he is also the leader of the massacre "Bu-" "I checked there files they died nearly 2 weeks ago which means they rose recently and have not drank much blood meaning they are not strong enough and we have the weapons to kill them its fine" said Ozaki cutting off the other man. "We've made progress but is it really enough to win?" thought Ozaki with his head resting on his head on his left hand with his eyes closed, "Ozaki are you feeling well?" asked one of the many men sitting at the table eating the food made by the women also in the underground shelter. "I'm fine don't worry about me, our main focus is eliminating the Shiki.", "It's a hour until morning which means it's time to hunt." as the words left his mouth the men and women rose from the tables going to start the preparations 2 men went to different directions seemingly leading to 3 doors in the back, one in the middle and one to the right.
