To everyone reading this, I am Jette.

A few weeks ago, I have been captured by a boy named Desmond. I was an orphan, on my way to get to the orphanage I was transferred to when he caught me up the road. No one will ever miss me so I don't expect him to ever let me out.

He gave me a new name. I wasn't Jette anymore, I should now be known as number 0. I've come to accept my situation. To be honest, my capturing had been funny which makes it worse. I'm a mutant human, half moth, half human. Desmond noticed this and captured me with light. Yes, I'm so pathetic, I get mesmerized by light and follow the source like an insect. Maybe that's all I am, a filthy, dirty insect.

I'm not able to do much else down here, so I wanted to write my daily life into this diary I found.

My day starts as usual. This nice boy comes to me, his name is Jacob. He feeds me and gets me dressed and makes sure I have some happiness here. Sometimes we play chess or ludo together. He's my favorite person here! After that Desmond joins. Jacob is obviously clingy to him, like a dog. I don't know what he sees in him. Desmond is cold and in my opinion unable to love.

Desmond proceeds to take my blood for some kind of tests. I still don't know what he's researching. His mood is based on how I behave mostly. If I'm calm through the procedure, he just let's me be and is calm as well, if I'm lucky he sometimes even praises me. If I get upset or complain, he will get aggressive and even yell at me until Jacob convinces him to stop.

The next thing happening to me is lunch. A pretty girl named Rachel eats lunch with me that she gets us and then does fun things with me, like watching a movie, brushing my hair, reading me stories, she's a really nice person as well. I don't understand why anyone this nice would work for Desmond. I just go along with it all, nothing can change my fate and I want to make ot more bearable for me so I am nice and accepting of the situation most of the time.

After that another girl visits me to perform ability tests on me. She basically tests my ability that I've obtained when I was 3 years old. I was 7 now so I got quite good in using it. Atleast that what this girl, Lydia tells me about my results. I think I should also mention my ability here.

I can light up my right eye like a flashlight. Nothing special I know, that's why it's so confusing to me why Desmond would want to study on someone unimportant like me.

Dinner is served by Desmond himself.  He has a talk with me, mostly wanting to check on my mental well-being, tho we both know he doesn't care about any of that. I learned many things from him though. He sometimes teaches me how to cook, how to fight and things like that. Even basic chemistry sometimes. I wonder what he's preparing me for and what he plans, but it's still nice learning stuff, so I never complain and always follow along.

Jacob always comes back and tucks me into bed reading me bedtime stories. They're interesting. He always explains them like he's experienced himself. Jacob's a good person. A really good one. He is gentle and caring and I always feel safe in his presence. If Desmond wasn't as brutal and evil, I would go as far as see them as my parents, though I would prefer only Jacob as one.

Another day rises and the same routine as the days before.
Over and over.
With no apparent end.
I don't think I'll ever be able to escape from here.
I don't want to spend eternity in here. I wish I was as powerful as Desmond, so I could've escaped. I wish I was as nice as Jacob so the universe wouldn't have forsaken me like this. I wish I was as determined as Rachel, so I wouldn't have given up on escaping this soon and I wish I was as remorseful as Lydia, so I wouldn't try to see something in Desmond that he is not. He's not a good person.

Instead of having the personality traits that would help me save myself, all I have is my stupid eye, my pathetic wings and my weak personality. Guess after all, all I am is still only a disgusting insect. Nothing more nothing less.

So what are they seeing in me?
