POV: Cronus.


I walk to Kankri's bed, his scent still in it. He actually used to smell like cherries. I cry very soft. I miss him so, so much. I fall asleep after doing breathing exercises.

I wake up after the worst nightmare I've had in while.

It was dead silent in the room, and I started to take in my surroundings. I was chained up, standing up against a wall. I started to notice the pain in my horns. Well, the place where the horns once were. There had been a mirror placed right in front of me and I saw that both my horns were broken. It made me think of Equius.

I don't know how long I was in the room, all chained up. After all that time with no indicator of time, I didn't even remember the fucking year we were in.

Some good thing did happen though. A little fuchsia blooded girl brought me food and fed it to me. She talked about her boyfriend a lot. Also about the boy she didn't like and that stalked them. I couldn't ask for her name, sadly. She made sure I couldn't, she always made sure there was enough food in my mouth to keep me silent.

I grew to like the girl. She always came to feed me. One day was different. She didn't have that much food with her. Maybe there was a shortage. I didn't know, I was busy being a prisoner. She sat down on the floor like usual, after unchaining me.

"Why did you do it, glub?"
"Wvhy did I do wvhat?"

I heard my voice for the first time in a long time, and I hated it. My voice is annoying.

"Why did you glubbin kill my sister?"
"It's something personal."
"I know, but I need to glubbin know!"
"She killed the one I lovwed more than her."
"But he was a mutant blood wasn't he, glub?"
"Yes. She wvas jealous of a mutant blood."

"I need to tell you somefin."
"Wvhat?"
"You are being held captive for two months already. They are going to execute you today."
"Wvait wvhat?"
"Yeah, they don't know I feed you either. I'm not supposed to."
"So you cared enough to at least givwe me food?"
"Yes, glub."

She rechained me and left. The food was still in the room, but I didn't even want it at this point. I'm going to be killed today. After two months of seeing myself non-stop I'll be killed. That's insane.

She came back after what seemed like days. She had two blue-blooded guards with her. They grabbed me at one arm each and dragged me away. I heard the girl shout her last words at me.

"I'm so, so sorry!"
