I woke up with the sound of talking, I thought it was Hypno talking to himself again, but then I heard another voice, it sounded like a little boy. I looked around and saw Hypno leading another kid to the cell, he had fiery red hair, green eyes, and freckles all on his face. I looked at his neck, 1-F, was tattooed there. ‘1-F?’ I thought to myself. “Hi!” The kid greeted cheerfully, I greeted back, honestly not focusing on the fact that my son of a witch father created another living being to be his slave. I frowned, but decided to talk to the kid. “I’m 2-L” I said, holding out my hand. He took it, “I’m 1-F!” He spoke like a child, around the age of 5. ‘Just like Lucas, this kid is so lively and kind..’ He reminded me just of him, how kind and sweet he looked and acted, the liveliness only a child could find in a place like this. Hypno soon took him out for testing. I guess that’s going to be a daily thing, but at least I'm not alone in my struggles. 
  Hypno was feeling generous this morning, he gave us crayons and a few pieces of paper to keep us quiet. I think it was because 1-F kept asking annoying questions, he asked what he was and who I was. Hypno told us we weren't anything, just matter taking up wasted space. I fumed at that response, 1-F looked upset at what he said, thinking for a bit. He continued his tests, I didn’t show him anything or tell him anything he didn’t already know,which he got pissed at. He made 1-F show his power, it looked like thunder, dark clouds surrounded him, purple bolts of lightning in the clouds. Hypno looked happy with the results he got from 1-F, then sent us both back to our cells. I looked at 1-F and I asked him if he remembered anything unusual, “I don’t know what you would call unusual, but I have this memory of a war, then it went all white.” He stated, rubbing his arm from where Hypno took the blood. I thought for a moment, and made a mental note to see if I can get more out of him later.I wanted to teach this kid more than what he knows about outside, but not to pressure him into helping us to escape. I want him to know the dangers of this place and the outside. I know Hypno made the kid to keep me in line, I feel Hypno knows more than he lets on. We will have to test my theory.

  I yawned as I leaned back on the wall of the cell, 1-F was laying on my shoulder, already asleep. I smiled and kissed his head, wanting him to know that I love him as a brother. I sighed, thinking about Lucas and Light. This kid had similar personalities to Lucas, less so of Light. He does seem to resemble Red though, which I found odd. Red was dead, I was sure of it, but this kid looks just like Lucas and Red. He has fiery red hair, like Red, but has white freckles and bright green eyes like Lucas, along with similar paisty-white skin and childish girl-like voice. I smiled again, soon falling asleep, not dreaming as the night went by.

   The next day it was the same routine, but this time it was a little different. Hypno only summoned 1-F this time. I sat there waiting for both of them to come back, ultimately wondering what he needed 1-F for in the first place. A few minutes later he came back, I noticed his eyes were a bit dull. “Your turn 2-F” Hypno pulled me out of my thoughts. I rolled my eyes and went with the psychotic man. He dragged me aside and glared at me, “I know you know about things you shouldn’t. I know you do, I have cameras everywhere!” He was curious and angry. “What did I say again?” I shrugged, faking confusion. “You know about…ugh. Never mind! I’m keeping my eyes on you 1!1@” He was fuming and threw me back in the cell. I just rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him. “Piss off!” I yelled back at him. 1-F looked at me questionaly,“What did the big man want?” he asked. “Nothing, just a quick pop test. He’s mad at me again.” I smiled and turned my back on the front of the cage. “I can deal with him, don’t worry.” I assured him. 1-F smiled and nodded. “Yeah! I know you can!” Hypno was still glaring at me through the bars. I turned around to face him, I waved sarcastically and winked at him.
1-F looked past me and looked at Hypno, “You look strange, not like before.” My eyes widened at his words. Hypno showed a little bit of shock before grabbing the red haired kid back to the lab. I mentally facepalmed making a mental note to teach him about keeping some thoughts in his head. I looked at the cameras, maybe I can try something, hopefully this doesn’t make my face hurt again, then Hypno came back with 1-F. ‘Dang it-’ I thought, ‘Now I can’t do my plan.’ I looked at Hypno and waved, “Hiiiiiii!” I said with a creepy smile. He just rolled his eyes and left, I sure love pissing him off.

    It’s now been close to a year now, since I was created, I think it’s near thanksgiving, due to all the turkey posters on the wall. I think the turkeys scare 1-F, he keeps cautiously looking at them and staring, refusing to go to sleep unless Hypno takes the turkey off the ceiling. Lets just say he hasn’t gotten much sleep lately, neither of us have. I stay up to comfort 1-F, even if the reason is a little silly. I ended up forgetting about the plan for a little bit, after all the sleepless nights, it's hard to keep thoughts straight. 1-F still won’t sleep, Hypno ended up giving him sleeping pills and he was out cold
