Inhumane

Chapter 17

Five weeks passed like a rush. My belly has gotten bigger. The baby has taken so much out of me, despite my huge belly I've lost tons of weight and my strength that holds my body together is slowly slipping away. The boys often make fun of me for becoming more weaker and looking like a walking skeleton with a bloated tummy, but I guess that's their way of being playful. Speaking of the boys they've been making me feel welcome in their home, Frank and Karen often call me and are not sure when they'll return and are up to date with everything going on with the pregnancy.
Yo-kun rarely ever leaves my side, I want to say that he cares about me and the baby but I'm pretty it's his curiosity that makes him want to watch over us just so he can see the whole pregnancy through. Just having him near is enough for me to be happy despite what he's done.

It's five a.m. and I head downstairs to make breakfast for everyone. Nora has been helping me so much lately this is the least I can do for her. I open the fridge and I grab four eggs and crack them into the pan and start scrambling. I place toast in the toaster, let the coffee brew, and I open the freezer and drag out a dead frozen chicken and throw it on the counter.

How can the boys eat such a thing.

I stare at the dead chicken that's bleeding from its neck from where it got sliced and for the first time ever. This looks tempting to eat.

I lick my lips and I grab it by its neck leaving a small pool of it's cold black blood on the counter and sink my teeth my teeth into it.

Since it's frozen I don't taste a thing, I'm actually feeling a bit disappointed.

Wait did I actually just bite into a chicken just now?

I blink three times and I'm horrified and throw the chicken back to the counter.

Why did I just bite into a dead chicken?! This is disgusting and so unlike me! What the hell just made me do that?!

"Never imagined I'd be seeing this from you. "

I jump and Yo-kun grins at me leaning by the entrance of the kitchen.

"D-did you just see that? " I ask mortified.

"Remember you carrying a kid with abilities, maybe it's the baby that wants the chicken? " Yo-kun chuckles as he walks up to the chicken and grabs it.

"No way am I eating that " I gag

"I'll show how to eat it, watch. " he snaps it's neck and tosses it aside and from there he rips it open and pulls out its tiny heart.

"My favorite part. " he winks and throws it in his mouth and swallows without chewing and I watch it go down his throat. I scrunch my nose and try not to gag from the horrid smell.

He pulls out an organ and hands it to me. I back away in disgust.

"The reason you ate was because of the baby. Eat it. " he says bluntly and dangles the dead organ in his fingers.

"What the hell makes you think I'll put that in my mouth? " I gasp

"Weren't you the one who bit into its neck a minute ago? " he scoffs

Can't argue with that. Maybe it really was the baby that made me bite into it, it doesn't really make sense to me but that's the only possible way I can think of that would make me eat a raw dead chicken.

He grabs my hand and slams the piece of chicken on it,

He gives me gesture nod waiting for me to eat it.

If this is what the baby wants...

I bring it to my mouth and take a small bite, as I pull my mouth away it pulls a bigger piece then I wanted from the organ which I'm now guessing is a lung.
