~~~~~

A frail young child was looking down at the cold hard ground.

I call them a child because their gender was unclear. Not just because of the long hair and the long dress and the longing to get out of wherever they were, or the mask on the face of the rather masculine body; but because they were too drenched in blood to tell.

Their white and red hair fell over their face as they stood against a metal beam. There were wooden splints that were planted through their hands and feet to keep them immobile.

A large woman-like figure stood above them, staring down with iceberg-teeth and an evil snare in her eyes, not to mention the ripped dress, bulging over her fat, clearly too small for her.

She spun another wooden splint around with her fingers and frowned at the small child.

"Listen... if you want Mama to be happy, what did I tell you to do??" She grabbed the child's hair and used the splint to run it into the wall next to the beam.

"I... I need to kill them..." they replied, now looking up into the woman's greedy eyes.

"Yes yes, but what exactly did I say??"

"Y-you said I... I need to kill them slowly... I need to entertain the crowd with... with the way I kill... And then accept everything you do to me afterwards... because y-you... you... you love me..."

The woman finally smiled, a great big grin shining against the child's hopeless despair.

She pulled on a chain and a small plank came down. It slowly descended from the roof and attached to it were dozens of hooks. They were stained red, barely any of them showing the natural rust.

She pulled out the splints from the child's body, and he instantly walked towards the hooks as if he knew what to do.

He grabbed the first one and sunk it into his left leg. He did the same with the next four. He then continued onto his leg and then his butt and his back; the hooks sunk into his body and blood instantly came seeping out. The blood rushed in small amounts, as if he had near none left.

"Mama... when will I get that thing again..?"

"That thing..?" asked the woman as the child sunk the final few hooks into his arms, "Ohhh you mean that piece of bread I gave you a week ago? Did you like it?"

"I guess... it made my insides hurt less... I don't know what it was but, I really liked it!!" The child's face lit up as he dreamt about the small crumbles he had devoured a week ago, "Can I please have som-"

*thwip thwip*

A long whip had struck the child twice, causing the flesh under his lips and eyes to cut open, bright scarlet, matching his crimson eyes.

"I told you this a long time ago, Rei... YOU DO NOT ASK FOR ANYTHING YOU DON'T GET!!" She whipped him a few more times. "Just take what I give and be happy you ungrateful pig!!"

The child, Rei's, face dropped down in sorrow as he accepted more lashes from the whip. It cut through the spider webs and dug deeped into the small boy's skin before being yanked out again, bringing blood and flesh with it.

Lots of small creatures like moths and flies alongside huge centipedes and spiders were now crawling across his body. His face was emotionless now. He didn't flinch from the pain. Instead he seemed to be taking each hit in.

Mama, as Rei seems to address her, stepped back for a moment.

"Humans are so pathetic... even whips seem to hurt you!! Anyways, it seems they're expecting you now... come on, time to earn some good boy points and make mama happy!"

She put her hand on his back and pushed him downwards. The utter force had brought him crashing down leaving a huge crack in the ground, and the hooks were forced out ruthlessly as he flew down.

He got up casually and stumbled over to the corner, where there was a small mask. He lifted it, and took a moment to look at it. After what seemed like a long contemplation of his life, he lifted it onto his face and walked towards a gate.

Mama pulled on a lever as the gate slowly opened. "Your time to shine..." she said, leaping away.

The gate opened to a massive arena. There were stands at all the ends somewhat like a Roman battling colliseum. Hundreds of people, all in masks, with what looked like hearty helpings of human hands and fairly foul human feet were laughing and talking.

On the other end of the arena was what looked like a young man, who was looking down on Rei with pure confidence.

Like any good main character, Rei stepped forwards against the oppression of the staring faces and confident eyes of what seemed to be his enemy.

He put his feet forwards as it crunched onto the arena's crumbly ground, as the bloodlust in the air hit him in a wave.

He looked up at the man as the arena quickly silenced.

He lifted up a small knife as wary eyes followed him.

He smiled with the knife playfully against his cheek.

"I'm sorry mister... I need to make my mama happy so I'd appreciate if you died slowly!"
