(Silvers' flashback)

When I woke up I was lying naked, bruised and sore, from the man. I looked around and saw that I was in my room still, I began to cry as the memories of what the man had done to me that night began to come flowing back to me, I heard my bedroom door open and I sat up, it was the man. I tucked myself into the corner of my bed farthest away from the door as he made his way towards me, "stay away from me!" I cried out, but to no avail, "you're a horrible person! I take back anything nice I said to you yesterday! I hate you!" he chuckled at my words, "do you think I care?" he sneered as he continued to walk towards me, "now come here!" he commanded as he stared at me from the opposite corner of the bed, "fuck off and leave me alone!" I screamed at him causing him to reach towards me and grab a hold of my right ankle, he tugged on my ankle, making me slide across the bed, I began screaming and kicking at him as I grabbed the bedsheets and tried to pull myself away from him. I suddenly felt my stomach drop as I began to fall, he had yanked me off of the bed and threw me to the ground, my back hit the floor and I gasped as the wind was knocked out of me, I felt as if I was suffocating, I slowly turned over onto my stomach and brought my knees up under me in an attempt to stand, I was snapped out of my stunned state when he grabbed my left wrist, to which I quickly turned around and dug my teeth into his flesh, I bit down harder and harder and when I finally tasted the metallic taste of blood I bit down even harder, he let out a scream and grabbed me by the hair, he tugged on me till he finally jerked me off of his arm, causing him to scream and throw me across the room when I hit the wall my vision went red as if I had placed a colored filter over my eyes. I watched as he held his arm, dark red liquid was spilling from it before I finally realized that there was a large chunk of his flesh in my mouth, but oddly enough... It tasted good, and I wanted more. I stood up, chewing up and swallowing the piece of meat, he looked up from his arm right up to me, I giggled as I watched the anger on his face quickly melt into fear, "Ally! ALLY!!" he began screaming for his butler who quickly stormed into the room and grabbed a hold of me, I felt a sharp pain in my neck and I began to flail my body around before having my vision begin to blur, I felt two more sharp pains in my neck to which I began to jerk around even more, when I got out of the butlers' grasp I hit the floor, landing on my hands and knees, I spun around only to be hit in the face with something, my vision went black and I passed out.

"Silver!" I heard my name being yelled from across the courtyard, I glanced over to see Adrian sprinting towards me, he threw his arms out in a futile attempt at hugging me, of course, it was completely obvious so I just stepped back to escape his grasp causing him to fall face-first into the pavement. Everyone around us just stared, it made me uncomfortable as hell, "what the hell are you doing ya ass hat," I scolded him for trying to pull such a dumb move, "why are you so mean to me?" he whined as he looked up at me, "because I felt like it," I smiled at him before stepping on his back to walk over him, "jeez you're light! how much do you weigh?" he asked as he got up, "that's none of your business," "you need to eat more, you can't be more than 100 pounds," I rolled my eyes as he jogged to catch up with me.

When I woke up I felt a slight pain in my wrists, as I regained my consciousness I looked around the room I was in, it looked like some sort of, small... lab? I couldn't feel the ground under me so I looked down to find that I was lifted about a foot off of the floor, I glanced up seeing that I was chained to the ceiling by my wrists. I struggled with the chains trying to get them off, but to no avail, I didn't care if I was getting nowhere with them, I still had to try, eventually, I realized that I had blood dripping down my arm, of course, that didn't stop me either, what stopped me was the man and his butler coming into the room, "my my~ you've made quite a mess," he said pointing at the small, newly made puddle of blood on the floor, "Nah, it was a bigger mess earlier, ya know, when you lost that chunk of your arm there," I snicker as I watched him become angry once more, "Ally," he smiled at his butler, "would you mind showing Silver where he'll be staying till Allan's birthday," "of course, sir" Ally's eyes moved across the room to a small desk, he made his way to the desk and grabbed some sort of, bent, metal pole. I glared at him as he made his way to my side, he placed one end of the pipe into a slot in the wall behind me and pushed it upward, suddenly I was dropped onto the, very cold, concrete floor, the chains came with me rattling and clanking as they hit the ground, "fuck," I muttered as I sat up, I attempted to get the chains off of my wrists but they were still tightly wrapped around them, I quickly realized that it wasn't the chains that were holding me up, it was some sort of claw that kept a hold of the chains when I was strung up by them, it looked like one of the ones from the claw machines that were in almost every arcade. Ally quickly made his way to me and grabbed a hold of the chains, he began dragging me across the floor to a room that was attached to the one we were in, when he stopped walking I looked up, the room was full of very oversized, and broken, beaker-looking-thingies, they were about a foot or two taller than the man, there were only one or two non-broken ones in my field of vision one of which I was sat in front of. the giant beaker had a metal base that held it in its place, the top of it looked about the same as the bottom only it wasn't as bulky and looked as if it could be removed, Ally walked away from me and toward the glass tube, he stopped when he reached the beaker and looked back at me, no, not at me, behind me. I glance upward to find the man towering over me, I quickly pushed myself off of the ground in an attempt to run, as soon as I stood and took my first step forward I was stuck in the back of my left knee, I tumbled to the ground as the man and his butler began to chuckle, "Ally," the man said as he turned to his butler, "is it ready yet?" "It is sir, would you like me to finish it up?" I looked up to Ally, now realizing the open panel on the base of the beaker, appeared to be the control panel for it, "yes, but wait till I say to end it, I wanna see the little bastard suffer for what he did to my arm," "yes sir, but, what if he dies like the other one, you have barely any time left before the young master's birthday and-" "Ally! do not question my orders, if he dies then we'll just get a new one it's not that hard," the man looked angered, and I was unsure what they were talking about, "yes sir," Ally turned to me and grabbed a hold of the chains once more, he dragged me to around back of the beaker to a small square, outlined in striped tape on the floor, he stepped inside the square outline and pulled me inside of it as well. When he was satisfied with our placement inside the square he turned to a secondary control panel and pressed one of the buttons, the square began to lift us upward, almost like an elevator without walls, the panel had remained with us, following the square up from the floor, when we stopped moving I realized we were at the top of the beaker, Ally reached over to the panel again, this time poking a different button, the metal topping on the beaker began to rotate before opening up, the butler then turned to me and removed the restraints on my wrists, once he did so he through them over the edge of the square, I heard them hit the ground with a clank and a couple of high pitched rattles. Ally grabbed me by my right four-arm and whorled me into the beaker, I landed on my stomach on the, actually very cold, metal bottom of the beaker, I shot up and let out a yelp at how cold it was, I stood there and took a minute before I was able to process what had just happened, "I'm trapped... This is bad..." I thought as I began to pound on the glass, "let me out!" I screamed, but it was no use the man on the other side just laughed at me, stepped away from the glass and glanced up to the slowly closing top of the beaker, I would need two more of me in here to be able to reach the top, I looked down to the floor, it looked to be stainless steel and had a bunch of small holes in it, I knelt down and began to examine the holes, I heard some sort of bubbling sound coming from the holes, "what the hell," I muttered, glancing up once more, the top was finally completely closed, while I was looking up I felt something wet under and around my feet, I looked down and found a translucent pinkish purple liquid coming out of the holes in the base of the container, I stood up from my crouched position and began to panic, "so they're going to drown me in this sludge," I said thinking aloud, "not quite," I looked towards the man as he began to talk to me from the other side of the glass, "yes, I wanna see you suffer, but I can't just give my son a dead body as a friend." "Alright then, enlighten me, what's your plan with this," the liquid was up to my ankles, it was cold and had a density and feel that made it seem like it was just colored snot, "well, I'm going to fill this with the liquid you see there," he sneered as he gestured to the cold sludge that was now a little farther than mid-calf, "and I'm going to wait till you're just about to drown, and then I'll have Ally press this button here, and it will cause you to freeze in an instant." he chuckled and spoke again, "doesn't that sound fun!" I glared back at him in response but lost it and inhaled sharply as the cold sludge met my waist, a shiver ran through my whole body as it gradually ascended my body. I began to try to swim in the thick liquid as it reached my shoulders, as the liquid rose, so did I. I was trying to keep my head above the sludge but when I reached the top of the glass cage I was trapped in, I tilted my head back in an attempt to keep my mouth and nose where the oxygen was but it was too late, the liquid filled the rest of the space as I took one last deep breath. I held that breath for as long as I could and even held both of my hands over my mouth but to no avail. Eventually, I couldn't hold my breath any longer, I shut my left eye and felt my right one begin to close, halfway there I felt it begin to roll back as I finally released the air in my lungs, my head tilted back slightly and my hands drifted off to my sides, it was blurring, but I watched the bubbles begin to rise above my head. And suddenly, they froze in place, and everything became so very cold before my vision went black.

"Silver..." I turned around after hearing someone softly say my name from behind me, "oh, it's you... uh, sorry, but I don't think I got your name yesterday," I stated plainly as I stared up at the much taller, upperclassman, with a bandage on his left cheek, "oh, right! my bad," he chuckled as he scratched the back of his head with his right hand, "the name's Justin, sorry, I guess I had you tellin me all about yourself that I forgot to tell you who I was," I flashed him a small smile, "it's okay," he smiled back at me "but anyway, would you like to eat lunch with-" "no. he wouldn't." I was quickly yanked, and dragged, away from Justin. I glanced over to see who it was, why was I not supersized, "hey!" I pulled my arm out of his grip causing him to stop and look at me, "what the hell is wrong with you, Adrian?!" I yelled and Justin came up behind me, "are you okay?" he asked as he gently placed a hand on my right shoulder, I glanced back at him and nodded slightly before turning back to Adrian who was pissed, "okay what the hell is wrong with you-" "what's wrong with me?! what's wrong with me?!" Adrian scoffed, "what's wrong with you?! after what he did yesterday you're going to talk to him like he's your friend?!" "why are you making such a big deal about it, and he isn't my friend, no offense to you Justin," "none taken," Adrian glared at Justin for a minute, "Yeah, whatever," he stormed off leaving both me and Justin confused as hell, "well okay, so... do you wanna eat with me?" Justin asked as I turned to him, "sure, I usually eat in the hallway anyway," I followed Justin to a table toward the back of the cafeteria, "I hope ya don't mind but I have a few friends of mine who sit with me too," I looked to the table in front us and saw three other people, two male one female, "who's he?" the girl asked Justin as we approached, "this is a...uhh, a-acquaintance, of mine," "acquaintance?" she cocked an eyebrow at me, I could tell she didn't like me at all, but she was trying to hide it, I knew from the look in her eyes, I've seen it so many times before that I could look across a room of over a hundred people and be able to tell what they all thought of me, and she, well she looked like she wanted to kill me, not like I haven't seen the look before, but I was a little baffled. Well of course I was, I mean, she hadn't even talked to me yet and she already hated me, "yeah, he refuses to call anyone his friend so, yeah, acquaintance" he chuckled and turned to me, "the girl I was just talking to, that's Tamari," I stared at her, analyzing and memorizing every single detail I cold see, she had long strawberry blonde hair, her eyes were a beautiful, yet quiet cold and scary, icy blue color, there was a row of freckles that ran over her nose and out to about the mid-point of her cheeks, she was slim but not too slim, and she appeared to have a C, maybe D, sized rack, here, we are all either part animal, demon, angle, or a hybrid, I guessed she was a fox due to her ears and tail, she was beautiful, and seemed perfect, of course except for the death glare I was getting from her, "the idiot on Tamari's right is Fay," my eyes quickly shifted to my left and landed on a boy in a large hoodie, his sleeves draped over his hands as they sat in front of his face, his elbows were on the table and his four-arms lead up to his hands that covered the bottom half of his face, he looked pretty tired, as if he cold fall asleep, but there was something else, I began glancing between him and Tamari, they looked so similar. He looked like he could be about the same height as her, of course, they were sitting down so I couldn't tell, he had short light blonde hair that barely made its way to his jaw-line, and had the same icy blue eyes as her, he even had the same freckle line, I couldn't tell what his build was like because of the baggy hoodie, but I'm not going to lie, he looked pretty good too, no, I am not gay, but if I was, this guy would be one of the men I'd be simping for, another good thing about him was the way he looked at me, it wasn't like Tamari's or Justin's look, Justin looks at me like all he sees is some gay boy toy, and Tamari, do I need to say it again. Anyway, Fay, he just looked like he didn't care, not a mean, "I don't care," but like a, "I'm too tired to care," ya know, "and him," Justin pointed to the other boy placed on Tamari's left, I turned my head and was met with the eyes of someone who was ready to rip my throat out at that very moment, I took a step back as I heard Justin sigh, "that, is Fay's boyfriend, Tyler," he glared at me with his two amber brown orbs that seemed to burn straight through mine, "he's like that if he thinks you like Fay, he's just trying to read you, trust me, he's a pretty good guy," Justin patted my back comfortingly and I felt myself release a breath that I had subconsciously been holding, "o-oh, I-uh, I see," I said glancing back at Justin before looking at Tyler once more, "don't worry I'm not into Fay, I like someone else," I stated plainly, Tyler glared at me a moment longer before his eyes softened and he sat back in his seat, "I see, then who is it?" he smirked and stared at me with a curious look, "why should I tell you, other than your name and that you're dating Fay, I have no idea who you are," he chuckled at my response, "I see, trust issues, huh?" he had semi-long dark brown hair that almost made its way down to his shoulders, he had a pretty nice build and looked a lot taller than the other two, probably about the same height as Adrian and Justin, "well that would explain why he doesn't want friends," Tamari snickered, "I just don't open up very easily, especially not when I don't know you," I snapped back causing Tamari to jump slightly before glaring at me once again, "woah woah, calm down you two don't fight, please, I really don't want Tamari to get hurt," "oh, I'll get hurt?" Tamari asked as she stood up, "the kid doesn't even look 9 years old yet-" "Tamari." there was a calm but demanding voice that shut Tamari up and made us all look at Fay, "sit down and shut up. you're not as tough as you think, you're only in 1-D because of your grades, nothing more." Fay spoke coldly as he glared at Tamari, "and you're only in this friend group because you can't make your own friends so you decided you'd push your way into mine, I was being nice and letting you stay, if he's an 'acquaintance' of Justin, then he's an 'acquaintance' of mine, and if you even think of hurting him, I won't be nice anymore, understood." Tamari nodded her head and sat down quietly, Justin turned to me with a nervous smile, "sorry about that, Tamari likes to pick fights so Fay keeps her in check, her and Fay are twins, but Fay's older, and a lot scarier when he's mad," "you're tellin me, that was fucking terrifying," he chuckled at my response, "well, now that you've met the gang, let's get some food,"

My eyes shot open, I sat up and turned over on my side as I began to cough, soon I was vomiting up the snot-like substance. When I had finished getting the last of the sludge out of my lungs I wiped off my face and began to look around, I was in a room, not mine, not the man's, but someone's. I stood up and began to look around the room before quickly deciding that I should clean up the mess I had made. When I had finished cleaning up I began to look around the room some more, the room had a similar layout to mine only it was a little bigger and seemed more comfortable, like a room you've had for a couple of years and knew like the back of your hand. I jumped as I heard the door-nob twist and click, the door opened quickly before slamming shut, "fucking asshole-" it was a boy, yes he was much older than me, but not like the man, to me he looked about seventeen maybe eighteen, I don't know it was hard to tell due to his height, we stood there and just stared at each other for what seemed like an hour, "uh-hey, um, my name is Allan, it's nice to meet you," he said with a smile, I just stared at him some more, trying to figure out what he was thinking, "welp- I'm sorry a-about what my father did to you, Ally told me everything, I was actually just arguing with my father about it," he took a step towards me and I jumped backward and glared at him, "oh- shit, sorry!" he apologized as he took a step back, "guess you're kinda jumpy after what happened, huh? well here, how bout this," he sat down on the floor and continued, "I'll stay right here, I won't move a bit, I promise, and when you feel comfortable with me then you can come to me, sound like a plan?" I stared at him for a moment longer before taking a seat on the floor where I was, I continued to stare at him only to, one, make sure he stayed there, and two, to memorize his appearance. He had dark dirty blonde hair, almost brown, that came down just above the corner of his, actually quite well defined, jawline, he was skinny but had a bit of muscle to him, I took a glance at his ears and knew exactly what he was, the short and fluffy nature of his ears said it all, a bear. I guess I had been staring at them for a while cause he began to chuckle, "I can't tell if you've never seen a bear before or if you're going to try to touch them," I rolled my eyes and looked away from him, we sat in silence for about ten minutes before he spoke up once again, "I guess you won't feel very comfortable with a stranger, would ya? Anyway, as I said earlier, my name is Allan, I am fifteen today, I do a lot of gaming in my free time, and I think that as you get to know me you'll realize that I'm just a big soft teddy bear," he smiled warmly, his smile was amazing, it made me feel like he could be trusted, "...m-my name's S-Silver, I turned five about a week ago, I like to listen to music, and I have never played any video games..." his smile faded and he stared at me for a moment before the warm smile he had earlier returned but this time it had a mischievous hint to it, "oh that's gotta change," he jumped up from his spot on the floor and stuck out his hand for me, "come on, I'll show you my favorite video game and how to play it," I sat there and stared up at him for a minute, "did he just say that?" I thought, "come on, it'll be fun, I promise you'll like it," he chuckled at my confusion, soon I gave in and took his hand, "alright let's go!" Allan pretty much broke down his bedroom door as he sprinted down the halls.

I sighed as I walked through the halls, "finally the day's over," I brought my arms up behind my head, as I rounded the last corner needed, I felt someone grab me from behind by my waist, "w-what the hell?! let me go!-" "shut up." he practically growl into my ear as he leaned down to rest his head in the nape of my neck, "A-Adrian?! what the hell are you doing?" I brought my hands down to his and attempted to pry them off of me, but to no avail, "didn't I just say to shut up?" he sounded tired, and I honestly wouldn't have been supersized if he was drunk, "where's your dorm at?" I sighed, all I got from him in response was a groan, "looks like I'll have to do this the hard way," I tried to walk towards the office but I couldn't, "Oh fucking hell!" I yelled, "shhh... quiet." I sighed as I heard him tell me to stop talking once more, "looks like I have no choice," my right eye began glowing a bright purple as Adrian became lighter, but he still refused to let go of me. I made my way to the office with Adrian, "hi, what can I help you with?" the kind desk lady asked as we walked in, "hi-umm.... m-my friend here didn't get much sleep last night and needs help to his dorm, so I was wondering if you could tell me where his dorm is," "oh-yes, of course! what's his name and I'll look it up for ya?" she began clicking and typing on her computer, "alright his name is Adrian-umm... fuck, Adrian what's your last name?" I asked as I glanced back at him but he only let out a low growl, "Adrian? again?" the desk lady stood up and took a look at his face, and sighed, "It's room number 203, on the second floor of the dormitory," "oh, okay thanks," I walked out and began to make my way to the dorms. When we got to his dorm I stopped at the door, "alright where are your keys?" I asked, he was silent for a moment before he spoke, "i-it's unlocked," I opened the door and walked in, I closed the door behind me, "where's your room at?" "down the hall, second door to the right," with that I walked down the hall and into his room, I laid him down on the bed and began to leave, before I could leave his room I felt him wrap his arms around my waist again, "A-Adrian, let go of me-" "no." he cut me off at the end of my sentence, it got really quiet for a minute before he spoke again, "I'm sorry-" "what? you're sorry about what?-" "just listen." I got quiet once again, "I..." he sighed and continued, "I overreacted today, a-at lunch, I should've just let you handle that by yourself, but I..." "you were jealous?~" I teased, "no!.... I just didn't trust him that's all..." "mhm, sure~" I giggled, we sat there in silence again, but he soon began to chuckle, "what the hell's so funny?" I asked, "just earlier, you called me your friend," I froze for a moment, "did I?" I thought, "now let's sleep!" by the time I registered what he had just said he was already carrying me towards his bed, "w-wait-what, no no no no no, let me go!" "too late, you should have seen this coming from the moment you stepped into my dorm," he practically threw me onto the bed, "well my bad that my mind didn't automatically go to the thought of sleeping with you!" I tried to jump up and run but he grabbed a hold of me and laid down, "it's not my fault you're not very vigilant," he chuckled as he dragged the blankets up over us, he kept his arms wrapped tightly around my waist as he held my back against his chest, I sighed in defeat as I drifted off to sleep.
