I stared at it with a confused and grossed out face. Did I hear it wrong?? Do I have hearing problems or something?? Am I just insane?? ...Well- Yes to the last one.
"I- Um-" I twitched, making me pause mid sentence. "Sorry-...I'll just- Go look.." I told it, quickly leaving the room.
-20 minutes later-
I've been stalling.. All I've been doing is walking around the rooms of the basement.
I'm not sure how to get it human!? I mean- Yeah, kill someone. But no one ever comes nor gets this close to the place. And it's not like I could call someone, I can't even have a damn phone!
I let out a sigh, glancing over at the door to the thing. I don't know what it would do if I come back without anything. I'm not sure how it'll respond, but I guess I could try.
I made my way over to the door, opening it up and poking my head in. I watched as its ears twitched, making it look up.
I cleared my throat. "So um- We don't have what you want-?" I smiled nervously at it.
It sighed, curling up. "That's fine."
I guess better than I thought it would.?
I slowly watched in, sitting back down on the floor with it. "Can I get you something else.?" I asked, tilting my head a little bit.
It shock its head. "No, it's okay." It said again.
I gave a hummed, starting to playing with one of the longer ends of my hair. I have a hum back, grabbing onto its side.
I couldn't tell if it was doing that cause it was hurt, or if it was hungry. Most likely both I was guessing.
"I um-" I spoke up, getting its attention again. "Well- I can't do it now.. But in the morning or sometime tomorrow, I could go get you some..?"
It stated at me for a second. "You're willing to fucking kill someone.?" It said, sounding surprised.
To be honest- I don't like killing all the much. I mean, I can do it, and I don't mind doing it. I just- Normally don't. I normally stay here and plan missions well the others do the dirty work.
I gave it a shrug. "I guess I don't mind all that much." I said, rolling my head from one side to the other.
It didn't say anything for a second, before shaking its head. "You're weird.. Or I guess you sound more insane." It said, leaning back again the wall.
I hummed, kind of taking that more as a complement. I looked it up I'm down as I hummed. Come to think of it- What even is this thing.?
Now that I think about it, just calling it a "thing", doesn't sound the best.
"If you don't mind me asking.." I stopped for a moment, getting it to look at me again. "What are you exactly?" I asked.
It didn't say anything for a few minutes. Now having me realize how dumb and rude that sounded.
I have a nervous chuckle. "I'm sorry- I didn't mean it like that-"
It cut me off "No, no. It's fine." I have a sigh before speaking again. "I don't really know to be honest. I just know I'm not what I used to be." It said looking away again.
I hummed, looking it up and down again. What does it mean by 'Not what I used to be'.
"Umm-.. Jack, right.?" I asked
"Mhm" It nodded back
"What do you mean by that..?" I asked again, kind of trailing off.
It gave a sigh. "I don't know if I want to get into that right now.." It said again, now sounding upset.
I nodded, thinking of a different question to quickly change it too.
"Um.. Well what about pronouns.?" I asked
"Pronouns?" It asked.
"Yeah. What pronouns do you like." I said again.
It hummed, thinking for a second. "I would rather you guys refer to me as a 'he' or something. 'It' just feels even more humiliating." It-.. Sorry, he said.
"Humiliating.?" I asked.
"Yeah? You mean to tell me you wouldn't feel embarrassed by being chained down to the floor like a damn animal!?" He said.
I shrugged "I mean, from what Tim said- You were acting like an animal-"
I was quickly cut off. "That guy shot me! Of course I'm not going to be happy about getting shot!" He said, almost growling at me.
"Okay, okay-" I said, backing away a little.
I watched as black tears started rolling down his cheeks again, getting him to start angrily mumbling to him as he tried to wipe them away.
