The sounds of rain pattering on the shed's roof forced Neptune to slowly stirs awake, his eye brows furrowed with distraught as he notices he's still stuck in the shed. He gasped for his breath, grasping at his chest. Pain struck him quickly, a whimper leaving his chapped lips. He moaned in agony, feeling tears rush out his eyes. The ache was too much, a loud cry leaving him. Neptune cracked open his eyes, seeing as he was still stuck in the damned shed.

He couldn't even move to get out, pain rocked his body too harshly, overwhelming him. Neptune slowly reaches up to his neck, wincing as his digits meet with the slice cutting through his throat. Dried blood stained it, giving off an uncomfortable feeling alongside the skin that peeled off. He feels tears swell in his eyes, a sob creeping up his esophagus.

Neptune whined loudly, bringing his hands to his face, pushing his knees up to his chest. This was a daily routine for it now. Wake up, cry, sleep, repeat. It'd only be a occasion where Earth payed it a visit, telling it on how successful he was before leaving again.

Neptune was hungry, hurt, and miserable. They didn't like this new life they had to live; some parts of them wanted to end it all-- But how they could do it always got in the way. Besides, Neptune is in too much pain to even stand before toppling over, so what's stopping him from picking up a saw and combusting into flames right then and there? Nothing, lol.

Another moan left his chapped lips, drool creeping down his bloody jaw. He took a shaky breath, sinking down into the hot wood of the shed. He might as well get 'comfy' if he's not going anywhere.

He wonders how Uranus is. How his kids, and first cousins removed once.. Twice.. Thrice.. You get the point, are. It's been too long since he's seen them properly. He ponders if by some miracle he gets out of here, he'll still be rewarded with ice cream. Neptune smiles a little at that. Getting ice cream, hanging out with his cousin and kids.. Maybe even paying his good ol' friends a visit too.

But of course, everything doesn't go according to plan.

It wasn't too long before the shed door was slowly opened.

Neptune winced at the light once more, shielding their eyes from it. Of course, Earth was the one who opened the door. Nothing felt too different from the previous encountered with him; minus the fact Earth looked like total wreck. His eyes were baggy and he just seemed completely out of it. He seemed.. Angry even, only wearing a sleeveless shirt and some pants, his occasional black plastic bag in his hands, balled into a fist.

Neptune whimpered, inching farther away from Earth as much as they could. They hugged their aching body, shivering despite the overwhelming heat.

The Navy haired adult shut the door behind him, making sure it was locked before he went to sit on a desk, just in front of Neptune.

The two shared an uncomfortable silence, before Earth inhaled, leaning forwards. "I'm gonna tell you a story." He said quietly, eyes piercing through Neptune's. "True story, by the way." They continued, eyeing Neptune down. They watched as the vulnerable man huddled up with himself, sniffling from time to time. "So, there was this guy-" "Y- You.. You didn't start i- it co- correct- correctly.." Neptune muttered out, looking down. Earth paused, arching a brow. "Huh?" They sounded, confused. "Y- You have to- to start stories with- with once upon a t- time.."

Earth stared at the helpless man before him, considering the thought. "Alright," he shrugged. "Once upon a time, there was this guy," they repeated. "-a really cool guy, by the way. He had every thing he wanted. A husband, three kids-" Earth smirked a bit, watching as Neptune became entranced to his words. "-his life was great. He was a great chef too, getting awards and such, you know, all that good life stuff." Gaia explained. "Fast forward, he decided that he needed more ingredients for his dishes. So, they went around killing a bunch of people for their food; and, guess what?" Gaia paused, seeing Poseidon's eyed slowly gaze up at him. "W- What..?" They mumble.
