(Picture is not made by me. It's made by my wonderful friend, Dr. Grim.) In This AU, this is The Maw. A Restaurant Prison afloat in the sea. Getting visitors often, normally everyday despite them being in the ocean. People get on many ships just to visit them. That's because they do something nobody else does. You see, this Maw is more brutal than the normal restaurant prison you're used to. This Maw decides to torture the children until their death. They force children to fight each other in a small arena. (Though large Arena from The Children's POV.) Whoever dies (If they do) gets taken to the Chefs to be eaten. All the children have lost hope of escaping and accepted that this was there life now. Fighting until they are eventually slain in battle. However, this changes when Six comes around. Six returns their hope. Now, can they escape this brutal Maw or will they die trying? ===== Preview ======= The Maw. A Great Source of amusement for Adults and some Teenagers. Some Teenagers' minds haven't been fully corrupted into liking this stuff. But a Hellhole for Children. The Maw is a boat in the sea that kidnaps Runaway children. The Ferryman being the person who takes the children. Sometimes The Maw buys children from The Hunter. Now, what IS The Maw exactly? You know the Dog Fighting in late 1830s-1976? Well, replace Dogs with Children and add many more twists and unfair things and there you go. That's The Maw We fight for The Lady's and Guest's amusement. We kill our friends just to make her happy. We Suffer. So that's why we need to escape.

Mono, like all the other children of his world, is left on his own to survive. This world is corrupted by the Transmission, emitted from a strange tower, towering over the dark sky of the Pale City. No one knows how, why and since when, and no one really wants to understand, preferring to take refuge in the comfort and distractions offered by this very same Transmission. But by ignoring the problems, things have become worse and worse, and now the world is a living nightmare. But lately, for some reason he can't understand, Mono has been feeling more and more intrigued by the infamous tower. He has been experiencing increasingly strange dreams, as if something or someone was calling, looking for him. Like so many others, he prefers to hide. Trying to understand only brings suffering and hate. But he can't stay hidden forever.

Mono somehow found himself into another world, where people aren't quite the monsters he's used to. He was hiding away in the junk yard that greeted him into this new world, until he was found by a caring unnamed woman. Told from the woman's perspective, the story focuses on the progress of a bond, from approaching a scared wild animal, up to a mother-son relationship. This is a story about found family, if the child was from a nightmarish world and had strange abilities. I made this story because I am deeply attached to Mono from Little Nightmares 2, and I wanted him to find a life where he can feel safe and loved. Also I love comfort and found family fluff.
