Chapter 7.5

The voice had woken up an hour before 96 to the sound of the door opening, he and George both saw each other at the same time. It could tell that George was surprised both at the voice's appearance and at the fact that 96 seemed to be in rather good condition. The bandages had fallen off of 96's arms which were now fully healed. George stepped into the room with a small knife seemingly intended to finish off 96 "This is the last one and then I can get out of here" the voice arched it's back and gave a warning hiss, George nervously came forward trying to scare off the voice, but it spat in warning again before lunging at George. It quickly bit into the hand that had the small knife making George drop it and cry out in agony using his other hand to smack the voice off, he then quickly grabbed the wound applying a cloth to stop the bleeding. "seriously, only a day until the second stage and something like this happens, why couldn't he have just died like the others" this made the patterns on the voice's turn a blood red color, it opened it's mouth and spoke "If you even think of injuring him again for any reason, I can promise you

that I will destroy everything you care about...

Now forget about this and leave, you will do as was intended and will provide him with the nesisary nourishment. Now go" George's arms fell to his side and he slowly walked out of the room quietly closing the door behind him, the voice was to angry that it could not ask more about the situation but it couldn't trust itself not to kill the idiot if they had continued talking. The patterns on it's back were still red, the voice quickly cleaned up the mess and dropped the knife into the pool were it quickly sank to the bottom. What had the idiot been thinking, it was things like this that made the child so comfortable with the idea of death. The clean up and conversation had taken longer than it had expected and 96 was starting the wake up, the voice quickly scurried threw the small hole next to the flagstone, it would wait until its fir had changed back to its original color, the voice would be careful not to tell 96 about the attempted murder.

One thing was for sure, things would as George had said be moving to the next step and the voice needed to come up with a plan, moving to one of the now vacant rooms the voice settled down to think.
