I actually have no idea how this happened, but basically, I heard a song, and I also have no idea what that song is truly about, but it just gave me a boost, and there's this thing.

Hope you like it anyway :)

Magnus was nine when they recruited him. When they saved him and his sister. When all seemed lost and hopeless, AAAnimus found them and offered their help.

"I want you to stay," Emily told him when he was about to leave for his first day there. "Please?"
It was the first time he'd officially work for AAAnimus, for his sister and her health.

"I'll be back soon. I promise," Magnus said, reassuring his sister.

Three weeks have passed since he started working. Always returning late at night to find his sister waiting for him. His body was tired, slightly trembling. The nonstop working started to worry his sister but he simply shook it off. Saying that it will get better. Emily had no other choice other than to believe her brother despite her worry.

'Till I rot away, dead and buried

At work, Magnus has met some nice people who decided that it was their job to make sure that he would eat and rest when it was needed.

Ethan, a boy six years older than him, along with his little group of friends decided that he and his sister would be in their care.

Bella was a bit strict but she meant well. She was the one who mainly took care of Magnus's health. Magnus was reckless when it came to himself. His self care was basically non-existent. She wanted to make sure that he wouldn't die young.

Aay and the rest of The Exit team were something else. They were a whole another story. Magnus didn't really understand. They would joke around, looking so happy, laughing together.

But it was fine. He didn't care. Magnus didn't need them. He didn't need anyone's help. He could get by on his own. But he knew his sister needed it. And if she was going to accept it, then so will he.

If you go, I'm going too
Cause it was always you, alright

Two months have passed and Ms. Philomena decided to start her little experiments on him. Magnus became her personal lab rat, a guinea-pig.

He didn't mind, it was needed if he wanted to keep Emily safe. But Ethan wasn't happy about it. Neither was Bella. They knew how dangerous Ms. Dusk's experiments could be.

Magnus ignored the pain it caused. It was necessary. He'd do anything to make sure Emily was safe and healthy. No matter what.

There was no other way. He couldn't risk losing Emily. She was his only family.

And if I'm turning blue, please don't save me
Nothing left to lose without my baby

Magnus was in the infirmary. It's been five months since the experimenting started. His body was scarred, there were burned marks around his body. The nurse bandaged his body up and told him to rest for a while. But he couldn't. He didn't allow himself to.

The nurse prescribed him certain medicine that he should take at least once every day. One in the morning was and if his health got worse then right then. After that, she left him alone to take care of other patients in the infirmary.
