[canceled] Under This Living Hell (BFB AU)

1- Normal days

Four and I were baking for the hotel guests. This job was honestly boring but it was better than my other one. I hated seeing my own kind locked up in cages like they were some kind of animal. It wasn't right. It was cruel and I hated going there.

It was quiet other than the slight hum of the microwave. Suddenly, Four got a text message, breaking the silence. Four picked up their phone and glanced an annoyed look towards me.

"What?" I said with a confused look.

"They told us to feed 𝝅." Four growled. 𝝅 was the worst one. They were the strongest being in the whole facility. Tons of tests were run on them but no one could quite tell what was wrong with them. They seemed to have the normal virus the rest of the subjects had.

"I really don't wanna go." I said to Four.

"We don't have a choice." Four said strictly. Four grabbed my wrist and walked me out of the kitchen. We went down a hall to the door that entered the Lab. Four scanned his keycard and the doors opened.

We walked through the halls for what seemed like forever. Long white hallways. Most of the halls had glass cages and enclosures lining them for different sick Algebrailens and Literature Critters.

Four stopped in a room to get food. He came out with a container of raw meat. We walked towards 𝝅's room. They opened the door and we both stepped inside.

"You stay on the observation deck. I'll feed her since you did it yesterday."

"Okay, thanks." I responded.

I sat on the observation deck while four entered the room and sat the container on the floor. 𝝅 lunged at it. Four stumbled backwards in shock before leaving the room. They headed back to the observation room where I watched 𝝅 eat.

"She's kinda crazy" I said while turning towards four.

"She's a bitch. She almost bit me." Four looked at their hand.

"Oh, is your hand okay?" I responded with.

"Ya, if she bit me. I wouldn't be myself anymore." Four said looking at 𝝅's enclosure. We both knew that. This job worried me. The constant fear of death every time I wandered through the halls.

Me and four started heading back to the kitchen. Once we got back we went back to making food.

It was now 21:18. Four and I decided to head to my room. We sat on the floor and played Mario Kart. Four was a sore loser. I was just good at the game.

"You're cheating!" Four yelled at me.

"Nuh uh" I responded.

I won all the rounds before turning on a movie.

"What do you wanna watch" I turned towards four.

"I wanna watch the titanic, that movie is so funny." Four answered.

"I've never seen it but that doesn't sound funny..." I responded.

"Trust me."

We both fell asleep ten minutes into the movie.

____________

I woke up on the floor. Four was half falling off the couch. I stood up and rocked four awake. They jolted up and shot me an annoyed glare.

I walked over to the coffee machine and started making coffee for the two of us. I knew how Four liked their coffee. After I finished making it I handed the cup of coffee to four. They nodded a thanks.

We both got ready for work. We had a full day in the lab today.

Four and I walked through the lab. We were both on task for different creatures. I had to watch Thirteen. Thirteen was mean and would constantly try to kill people. I watched her from the observation room. She sat against a wall staring at me.

"Do you ever let us be?" I could read from her lips.

I didn't respond. The answer was no. No one in this facility ever let the subjects be. We couldn't, if we did what could happen? One of them could escape or die. 𝝅 was the only one we could leave alone. The metal, cement, and other materials in 𝝅's enclosure were strong enough to keep them in. 𝝅 would often warp this weird black material to make their environment better.

I sipped my coffee while watching Thirteen. She was boring. I filled out some paper work on her behavior. I grabbed the paper work and left to go turn them into Two.

"Ah, you got Thirteen today?" Two asked

"You assign daily roles, so you sh- you know what, never mind. Yes, I did get assigned Thirteen."

"Lovely! Two responded. Two looked over the paperwork before looking back at me. "Why don't you feed thirteen while your at it?" They put the papers into a file. "She eats carrots and letters."

"Okay, thanks." I walked out of Two's office and headed towards the storage room. I grabbed meat and carrots like two said. Number's don't normally eat vegetables. Numbers are carnivores, variables are omnivores, and letters are herbivores. That was common sense.

I went to thirteen's enclosure and stepped inside. I prayed she wouldn't kill me. I sat the food on the ground and quickly stepped out. Thirteen's behaviors today weren't normal. She didn't seem well. She waited around 20 seconds before eating. That was not normal for her. I quickly jotted that down on my clipboard once I got back into the observation room.

________

Today wasn't that interesting. I didn't get called to do anything but watch thirteen. I walked home and went up to my hotel room. I fell onto my bed with an exhale and just sat there for around ten minutes. Today felt so long. I checked my phone and it only said 17:37. I still had more of the day. Maybe I should hang out with four.

I went to four's room and knocked on their door.

"Oh! Hey x! Here to hang out?" Four said when they answered their door.

"Oh, ya." I responded.

Four was my best friend and one of the only people I trusted. I enjoyed spending time with them. I hope they also enjoyed it. I sat on their bed as they turned on their tv.

"Down for some Mario Kart?" Four asked.

"Oh you're just trying to get yourself mad." I snapped back.
