Two Tragedies (Juuzou x reader)

VI

"Oh Y/N~!"

A seven years old girl flinched at the call of her name. She was curled up into a ball in the corner of the prison like room. The floor was cold but she had nothing to put underneath her body.

"Come out, I have a surprise for you~."  The voice calling out to her was that of a woman. A woman that scared her, a woman that forced her to do things people couldn't even a imagine.

"Come here now, be a good girl and do as I say  Y/N, NOW!"

Y/N flinched at her command and got up as fast as she could, running towards the front of the cell.

"Ah, there's my pretty lady, I have a friend for you," behind her was boy, he looked scared like we all did when we first got here.

"I want you to play with him and keep him company, alright, and if you are good, you'll get more good girl points!"

(Switched from 3rd person to 1st person) 

I backed up as she opened the door, not even thinking about trying to run past her and escape.

She pushed the boy in harshly and slammed the door grinning.

"Now, be good."

She walked away with a sway in her hips, I watched until she was out of my line of vision.

I turned towards the boy, he was on the floor, his figure was shaking. He had his face pressed into his knees as he silently cried.

"Excuse me, don't cry, she's not here right now."

His body flinched at my quiet words.

He looked up at me and I was taken back by his crimson irises. They were beautiful, but his eyes were red, most likely from crying.

"I'm gonna hug you now okay," he watched my every movement as I got closer to him. He was in my corner. So I sat next to him and wrapped my arms around his figure. 

He tensed, I can't blame him. I don't even know his name.

"I'm Y/N, what's you're name?"

"I-uh...my name's Rei," his head rose up from his knees as he tried to wipe the remaining tears off his face. But his hands were dirty so his pale cheeks were smudged with dirt.

"I'm seven by the way, I've been here for a couple days, or I think it's been a couple days."

"I'm seven too, I don't know how long I've been here but, I was somewhere else before I was taken to you."

He looked scared out of his mind still.

"I don't want to be here, I want to go home, I don't wanna die."

He tried his best to hold back his tears but he couldn't. He let out a quiet sob.

"We're not gonna die, we- we we'll get out of here, I promise, you and I will escape and we'll be okay, trust me."

"I promise."

'Ugh, why did that suddenly come into my mind right now out of all times.'

I dragged my feet on the pavement, too lazy to walk normally. I was in the alley way behind Anteiku, banging on the door, I heard Elli Yelp through the door.

The door opened and there stood Yoshimura.

"We were expecting you, come in."

I looked towards Touka, seeing Elli behind her.
