7 was always an odd one, not odd like 1 but odd never the less. He always seemed like a loner and never ate with anyone else in the Cafeteria. I am 6 and one day I decided I wanted to get to know 7 more so I decided to follow him after lunch. I noticed that 7 never touched his plate and just threw away all his food. 7 did this every day. So what does 7 eat?
7 went to go hang out with 8 and 9. Personally I always thought 8 was the more attractive of the girls but I guess I just like her curves more. However 7 preferred that big headed 9. They always seemed close but 7 was still being strange whenever I saw them alone together. . Nibbling on her neck with intense sexual tension which he seemed to enjoy more than anything else he did with her. We all saw the marking on 9's neck but she just laughed it off. She was also odd.
I got lucky and got to go on a double date with them and get to talk to 8 some more as a plus. 8 was actually quite the chatter box. Apparently her and 9 have been friends for a long time and 7 only approached them recently. 9 has been looking for a man recently to fill a hole inside her, I think me and 8 could relate to that. But she jumped at 7 the moment he asked if they wanted to hang out, even if he was strange 9 never questioned his odd mannerisms or behavior. His weird neck fetish and no appetite. His lonesome tendency and why we never see him hang out with anyone else.
We rented out a hotel suite and me and 8 got to know each other more... intimately. But as we were counting each other we were interrupted by a scream. A sudden scream was a surprise but what scared us was the sudden silence following it. The scream was silenced the moment it started. We were worried and ran over to 7 and 9's room to make sure they were okay. I had a bad feeling in my gut.
It was locked and 8 kept banging on the door asking if everyone was okay. Panicked and worried I also started thinking something may have happened... then the door unlocked.
7 was by himself and explained that he just woke up and 9 was gone. The Police were called and they searched the building but she was no longer there. I would become a shoulder to lean on for 8 ever since the incident. I never mentioned this to 8 but I saw 7 take a large suitcase out of the hotel when we only were meant to stay the night. And if 9 left the room somehow and went missing while 7 was asleep then how did the door become locked from the inside? I told the police and an investigator checked his place out... what he found was atrocious. 9 had been cut up and frozen in a freezer that 7 kept in his basement. When police questioned 8 and I about what he might have been doing with these pieces of 9 in little baggies 8 couldn't talk.. she had gone to let out the food she had in her stomach, and I could understand why. As she was away in the bathroom I told the police what I had seen. I saw 7 never eat in the cafeteria for years, but ever since the incident he's been bringing homemade lunch to eat with all the rest of us. I didn't want to admit it but along with my testimony everything was clear in the court case. . .
We all knew the truth but could not admit or accept it.
That 7 ate 9.
