Food.
Six did a double take at the object she was looking at when her stomach rumbled again. Her eyes filled with fear as the outline of a rat sat in the corner. Her grip tightened on Twelve. He hadn't seen the large outline of the large creature again.
She knew the rat wouldn't do anything but, she just wanted to make sure. Make sure that she could protect him if he needed too. Meanwhile her stomach growled again as the word repeat again in her mind.
Food.
Her stomach kept grumbling. It felt like a knife stabbed her every time her stomach growled. Every time. Which was once every second. Yet, all she cared about currently was keeping Twelve safe. Keeping him alive. Just long enough to find this 'Ten' person and leave. To just leave this dark ship. That was all she wanted to do.
As rats ran past her she pulled Twelve closer to her. The young child never made a noise as he was pulled towards her. Or even when the rats ran by. He didn't even look freaked out. Which was definitely not what he was doing on the inside. Six glanced down at Twelve as her stomach grumbled again.
Eat.
She jumped. Six looked terrified for a second as she let go of his hand for just a second. Just a second. Just to think about what she had just thought.
Had she really thought about eating her only companion? A young boy how was no older than four. The same boy who kept saying 'Ten' over and over again. The same boy who had laughed at a gnome that ran into a wall. A four year old who made her smirk when ever he laughed. Who gave her as much food he could find after the bread incident. He was only friend.
She wanted to eat her only friend. The worst part was that she was still hearing that voice as she grabbed his tiny hand and continued walking. So, she pretended she couldn't hear it.
Eat him. Eat.
She shook her head no. Twelve hadn't noticed though. He had seen all the rats running toward something. So, he dragged Six towards it. Why? All he wanted to do was see what they were running towards. Meanwhile the deep monstrous voice in Six's head kept repeating the same words again.
Eat him.
No one would care.
No one is looking for him. Anywhere.
He has no one.
No one would care if he was gone.
Just eat. You know you want to.
Six shook her head as she was dragged behind Twelve. He now full on running as his short, thin legs could take him. As fast as possible. Twelve was smiling all the way. Meanwhile Six never took her eyes off him. Not once while the voice kept speaking to her in her head.
You haven't eaten in so long.
You almost died because of it earlier.
He'll understand.
Come on Six, he knows you need to eat.
Surely he won't mind if you eat.
As long as your not hungry.
As long as you alive, he'll be fine with wheat ever you do.
So just pounce and eat your heart out.
After all, it was what you were made to do.
"Food!" Twelve smiled as he pointed to the tiny piece of meat in the cage all the rats had gone too. Well, tried to go to. The others had gone to two other cages full of meat. Six's eyes lit up. A perfectly untouched piece of meat was just lying in a cage for the taking. She quickly raced forward hand in hand with Twelve.
The second they entered the cage, she hunched over the meat like an animal. Her teeth sunk into the meat cause I got a bit of blood to leave a drop on her mouth. Meanwhile Twelve was eating the other side of it.
The world got a lot more darker. Really darker. Her head began spinning. She was pretty sure she was gonna faint or throw up. Yet, she kept eating. That was all she wanted to do. Anything she had wanted to do today. Meanwhile Twelve felt the same thing.
Eventually the two children were just about to pass out when the heard it. They one thing they had heard made their blood run cold. It was like their blood was made out of ice. It actually felt like that was happening currently.
It was the sound of the door of the cage closing behind them. Both their eyes flew over to the door. Two pale hands were now wrapped around the closed door. The same two pale hands that belonged to the Janitor. Which had meant he had finally caught the,.
Then with that, they both passed out.
As you can tell next chapter has a the run away in it. You may be thinking," Why? He isn't in the canon story line,". Well, this is my story so, their paths will cross and he may join the story line. There was also something else I was gonna mention. What was it again?
