It was midnight in a forest. Cherry was lost. He was terrified knowing what could happen to him if he was caught by the wrong person. Cherry tried to force his anxiety back and focus on finding a way home, but he kept falling back. That's when Cherry heard his voice.

"Heya there, Cherry."

Frightened, Cherry whipped around, charging up an electric shock. Loser seemed unfazed and continued walking towards Cherry with that same grin on his face.

"Wh- What do you want from me??" the terrified fruit immediately regretted asking. As he saw the grin on Loser's face widen, he began mentally preparing to attack. Cherry's stem flashed a neon blue, which indicated that his power was fully charged.

"Don't worry, Cherry. I'll make this less painful if you tell me one thing: where are your friends?"

"E-Even if I knew that.. I- I wouldn't tell the likes of y-you-!"

"... Is that so...?" Loser reached his hand into a bag he had been wearing, tightly clutching something inside. Cherry felt a shiver crawl down his spine. The flash of blue in Cherry's stem began to grow lighter, indicating that the lightning wouldn't be able to be contained for much longer in the current situation.

Right as Cherry saw Losers hand launch up, he unleashed the lightning that was in store. Loser was stunned for a very small moment. Cherry tried to use that time to escape, but he was quickly snatched by the stem, now fading in color.

"You really thought you could escape? How naive you are, kid." Loser gritted through his teeth, writhing with anger as he pushed Cherry against a tree. Loser's hand rose once more, a knife was being firmly grasped in the fist. Cherry gulped back a whimper and tried not to look scared.

Slash.

Cherry yelped as he was dropped to the ground, stemless. Loser grabbed the trembling orphan by the arm, raising him back into the air. The horror was very visible in Cherry's eyes. Loser dropped the knife and took a good look at the terrified figure in his grasp. He almost felt bad for the fate he was about to give this poor child. If only he knew where his friends were..

Loser repositioned his hold on the frightened cherry, now making it seem like he was going to be squished in the palm of the ivory cubes hand. He took one last good look at the stem on the grass. Loser chuckled a little. He then looked back at the fruit in his grasp. And without hesitating any longer, Loser leaned in and took a bite out of the terrified form. It took a couple seconds, but the screams did start soon enough. Loser kept snacking on the poor fruit, not caring who would be able to hear his shrieks of pain.

But of course, everything must come to an end eventually.

Loser stared at the now lifeless body in his hand. It was only one bite away from being nothing but a seed. He dropped the corpse on the ground and made his exit, keeping a close eye out for anyone that may have witnessed the scene.

The body remained untouched until morning.
