Y/N

I moaned in delight as I devoured the human. 'So delicious!' As my nails sunk into its stomach, digging in the pool of red for more, I noticed a bright orange in the distance.

How familar.

I stood up from my spot, walking over to the head. Nudging it, I gasped, falling to my knees.

"E-emma...?"

'If  this is Emma... then all those bodies...'

I looked around frantically, recognising even more familiar faces.

I ate them.

You ate them.

His hands wrapped around my body, pulling me into a bottomless void.

"They won't die by the hands of a filthy demon."

"They'll die by the hands of their family."

Shooting up from my bed, I panted heavily, struggling to catch my breath. My eyes darted around the room, 'another nightmare...' I sighed, just realising how hard I'd been scratching at my arms when I felt something wet and thick in my nails.

'I'm bleeding again...'

I let go off my arms, staring down at the sheets. 'How long has it been?'

I've long grown to accept what I'd become. I knew I would never be able to escape from here, I would never be able to see the day I left this place.

"Please... just kill me already... please..." I sobbed uncontrollably. "I just wanted to be with them... in a world where we weren't cattle... what was so bad about that..." I muttered under my breath to nobody as slumber I've been pushing away for days overtook me.

'Was it worth living?' I chuckled dryly as I leaned my head against the headboard. 'A filthy halfie that neither fits in the human world nor in the demon world. Even if I escape, would they accept me?'

The tears that were brimming my eyes began rolling down my cheeks as I sniffled. The many nightmares that I had been having all portrayed me as the enemy. Someone ruthless, someone brutal.

I've spent days in this cage, as each minute passed by, I only sat there, not moving from my spot and only getting up to go to the bathroom.

Sitting on my bed with my head against the headboard, I stared at the decaying plates of food being one with the floors.

"At least the floor would accept you..." I weakly mumbled.

'If a demon needed to eat humans to survive, if I just went on a hunger strike, I'd just die, wouldn't I?' A broken smile on my face as I thought of how in peace I would be in the afterlife. 'I wonder if Peter Ratri meets all of the children before they're sent to Lambda.'

I scratched at the sensation in my stomach, eye twitching uncontrollably. 'Why is dying so hard...?'

"Trying to die hmm?" I raised an eyebrow at the familiar voice. 'Peter Ratri.' He spoke through the speakers.

"Going on a hunger strike, what a bad boy. I wonder if I go in there, would you eat me?" A dry chuckle escaped his throat. "And you said you'd help me with my experiment, eh?"

"Well, I don't need you for my experiments anymore. In fact, I'll make a deal with you."

The metal door to my prison opened and two men dressed in black walked in, guns in hand. I sighed in relief smelling the scent of meat again. "You smell really good... you know...? But I can't eat you, no I can't..." I shook my head, letting it hang as I resisted the temptation to run up and chew at their delicious flesh.

"If I pounced on you, would you kill me?" My voice came out as hoarse and groggy, after days of not consuming anything.

The two men stayed silent.

"They will shoot you in your eye if you attempt to eat them." Peter Ratri spoke.

The two men walked up and cuffed my arms with metal cuffs and a muzzle on my mouth. "You know... I could just... break these cuffs... you know..." I slurred, staring up at them with a blank look on my face.

They led me out and in front of me was Peter Ratri with that same smile on his face from when Norman and I met him.

"It's... you..." I tilted my head slightly, staring up at him with droopy, half-lidded eyes.

"Well, it's nice to meet you again." He had more men in black behind him. "You've certainly grew well, haven't you?"

"Please..." I knew it was bad to beg for help from the perpetrator, the one sought on catching your family, but I was desperate. I fell to my knees, clutching his pants. "I-It hurts... my stomach... my throat.. everywhere hurts... I-I... please save me! I'll do anything!"

He stared down at me, his eyes showed no emotion as he watched me plead, "even if it means sacrificing your family?"

I nodded, "y-yes! I'll do it! I'll find them a-and catch them for you! J-just please... please save me... I can't do this anymore... I'll gladly do it... I'll do anything just please! Please, sir!" I cried, gasping for air as I trembled on my knees, voice shaky.

He leaned forward, ignoring the warnings by his colleagues, his breath against my ear as he whispered. "Be my son then."

I gasped, eyes shot wide.

"I'll find a cure for you. I'll be your savior from this cruel place. I heard the demons tried eating you, you did so well defending yourself." He patted my hair gently, like a father and his son. "My good boy..."

"I'll do it." I spoke firmly, a sinister smile was plastered on my face as he pulled away. 

'Except that I'll be the savior to my family, even if it means sacrificing myself.'

'Because I've been waiting for days for this day.'

'I wonder if i'm important to Peter Ratri.' I wondered as I stared off into space on day 3 of not sleeping.

'Does he usually meet the cattle before they are sent off to Lambda? And why Norman and I?'

'Why test on other children to the point of mutating? Aren't we children cattle? Why mutate their genes until they have 2 new limbs? Until their brain can be seen? Just what are these scientists doing?'

'They even fed the experiments to me and it tasted different every time.'

'Are they trying to test whether or not the meat tastes better than the other?'

'If i don't eat the meat, would it cause a problem?'

"I'll work for you."

Walking alongside Peter Ratri, I looked forward with hope in my heart.

'I'm not going to be that stupid, carefree kid back then.' I smirked, 'wait a little bit more, I'll get you all out.'
