"Alright Kid, I have to go to work you know the rule." The dark monkey had a serious expression on his face. "Don't leave or open the door no matter what." His expression relaxed and he smiled while patting her head. "Good job. Now behave and don't cause a ruckus." The monkey then left out the door. The young girl then went to get some paper and crayons, she wanted to draw her and her father as a gift for saving her. As she went to get the crayons she felt something fall of her face and she heard a splat on the ground. She tried to feel what fell but when she brought her hand back down and she saw blood covering her entire hand she looked at the ground a saw a huge piece of skin. She picked it up and realized it was part of her face.

She ran to the bathroom and looked into her mirror and saw that a part of her face had fallen off. Other parts of her face were starting to fall of as well she started to panic. She ran to her uncle's office and grabbed a stapler and ran back to the bathroom, her skin still in hand. She held the fallen off skin to her face and grabbed the stapler...she stapled the skin back together. Each staple was even more painful than the last, she screamed and cried but she didn't know what else to do. As she kept stapling more and more skin fell off, it took 23 individual staples. At the end when she looked into the mirror she didn't see herself, she only saw a hideous beast. It was all his fault. If he hadn't sent her into battle she wouldn't be this hideous freak. She slumped down beside the tub covering her face.

As Macaque walked into his house the smell of iron entered his nose. He called out for his niece...there was no answer. He stared to get really worried once he saw the blood trail leading to his office and the bathroom. He first checked the office but she wasn't there. He then went to the bathroom but the door was locked, he knocked on it and heard crying. He asked if she could unlock the door, but she didn't answer. He banged into the door with all his strength and it fell down. He saw her crying and covering her face, blood surrounding her.

"Kid what's wrong?! What's with all this blood?!?!" She slowly removed her hands from her face. "Oh my god..." she started sobbing more at his reaction "I couldn't stop it from falling apart!!! I didn't know what to do!" He hugged her tight as she cried into his shoulder getting a little blood on his shirt. "Shh..Shh, It's ok...We'll find you a doctor and try to fix this ok? I know somebody who owes me a favor."

" He picked her up bridal style and walked to her room. He put her in her bed and tucked her in. "Just try and get some rest ok? I'll make sure to fix this."

"How am I supposed to sleep?!" He holds her hand and smiles gently at her. "How about I read you, you're favorite story book and I'll make you some hot chocolate with big marshmallows." She smiles "I'd like that.."
