I pressed my lips together, clenching my hands so tightly my nails dug into my skin. A sharp sting followed, warmth trickling down to the floor as I struggled to cry–yet no tears came. I couldn’t even wail, not the way Claude had taught me

1. to.

“What are you doing?!” Claude half–whispered, half–hissed at me who was pretending to lie dead on the ground.

I pouted, while looking at my hands. “I’m trying to ready myself yet I can’t cry like you want me to.”

I saw him look at me with ridiculous expressions. “Are you serious? You can’t cry despite hurting yourself?”

“Did you cry when you got injured then?” I retorted back, making him pause.

It took him a while to recover, rolling his eyes at me. “Of course not! How could I cry over these mere wounds?!”

Seeing that he was agitated, I stopped sprinkling salt to it. “What should I do now? We have to buy time for my parents to come.”

“Let me think for a while,” he said while pondering about it for a while and I remained at my position, waiting and watching as he thought.

I think I won’t be regretting it if he becomes my brother. He’s smart, handsome, and strong as well. It would be great if he would become my brother.

I’ll let my mama and papa know about it and have them adopt Claude.

Will Claude accept it?

“Why don’t you imagine your mama and papa have left you alone?” His words left me frozen as I heard him continue. “Your mama doesn’t want you anymore and your papa started hafing you. They started neglecting you and would even prefer to- oh, as expected, your crying now.”

I didn’t even realize when a sharp wail tore from my throat. Tears streamed down my face, unstoppable, no matter how hard I tried to hold them back.

My heart started hurting so much that it felt uncomfortable as if someone was gripping my heart and there was a lump on my throat. I couldn’t even breathe properly as I kept crying, wailing on the ground.

That’s not true…

My Mama… my Papa… they love me.

“Damn it! Who’s crying?!” a man barked from outside.

“It’s the kid from the mad dog’s cell! Go check it!”

“Fuck–if that mad dog hurt the child, how are we supposed to sell him?!”

“Goddamnit! Go, Josh. Check if that mad dog bites the kid! If he does, beat that mad dog to pulp. That kid Agatha brought to us is more valuable than the mad dog!”

I could hear the creaking sound keys clang as the metallic door opened and one man who seemed to be the one called Josh, appeared, looking apparently anxious as he immediately went towards my direction, his hands were both on my shoulder

“Are you okay? Did the mad dog do something to you?” He started checking my body to check for any wounds and I’m not even sure if there are still wounds on my body that Nanny had inflicted.

And by the time he checked my pants and saw the back of my legs, I felt his brows furrowed, cursing and muttering that the goods had been damaged.

While crying, I grabbed his shirt. “I… It hurts… brother… it hurts…”

I saw him cursed first before his hand went to my hair, rubbing it. “Endure it. I’ll go get you an ointment right now. Just be a good boy and wait for me.”

“B…But I’m scared..”

Trace of irritation flashed from his eyes but it disappeared right away. “I’ll discuss with my people later that I’ll transfer you to the other cell so that the mad dog won’t be able to hurt you.”

Hearing this, I breathe a sigh in relief and I started controlling my tears, raising my head and looking at him. “T… Thank you, brother…”

“So obedient,” he rubbed my hair with satisfaction and his eyes darkened. “Unlike that mad dog!”

He paused, “Speaking of which…”

I froze. Did he found out that the mad dog he had been talking and cursing about had already stand up and was behind him, currently holding a steel fork who knows where he got?

“…where’s the mad-”

Before he could finish or even turn around, something sharp pressed against his neck. It was the metallic fork that Claude uses. The man’s eyes widened in shock as his body stiffened, then collapsed heavily to the ground before he could have the chance to fight back or speak.

I couldn’t even move from my spot and my whole body froze from shock and disbelief.

Did he die?

D…Did we kill someone?

However, I didn’t even have the chance to think further that we killed someone when Claude had tightly gripped my wrist, pulling me to him and nonchalantly passed the body on the ground as he dragged me out of the cell

“Follow me closely,” he whispered. “Be obedient and don’t scream. Let’s use this chance to escape.”

“B…But what about the other kids in the cell?” I asked, tugging his hands as I followed him closely, running to the corridors. “Don’t worry about them! We will be back once we bring a trusted adult–which is your parents to help us,” he answered while both of us were running from the corridors, taking turns, turning left and right and going through each of the paths, trying to find the exit.

Who would have thought that this place was like a maze!

I calmed the beating of my heart, my legs had already softened whenever I thought about the body we left on the cell that had already lost its life and at the same time, I kept thinking about the other kids and my parents too.

“L…I’m tired…” We have been running for so long yet we still couldn’t find the exit.

What should we do now?

What if the others had already found out that we killed their friend, tossed the body, and left the cell to escape? Will they kill

us too?

“Tsk.” I heard him click his tongue and stop on his track.

Before I could ask what he was stopping for, he bent down and showed his back.

I looked at him in confusion. “W…What are you doing?

He turned his head and rolled his eyes.

“Get on me!”

“Huh?”

“Are you dumb? Get on my back!” he exclaimed. “Hurry up, otherwise they will catch up on us!”

Without hesitation, I climbed on his back, wrapping my arms around his waist and wrapping my legs on his waist as his hands were supporting my butt while running fast.

T

“Stop, you brats!”

Hearing those familiar voices, I stiffened. When I looked back, I saw three men catching up on us. One was familiar and the other two were unfamiliar, they were dressed in black, wearing masks as if to hide their faces–and from what I guessed, they seemed to be here to get us.

I patted Claude’s hair. “They’re catching up on us, Claude! Faster!”

“Calling me by name so easily yet that motherfucker, you called him brother?” he sneered as he sprinted.

I pursed my lips, burying my face on his back. “I’ll call you brother once I let my father and mother take you back.”

“Why would they even take me back?” he asked.

Before I could even answer, one masked man had already appeared in front of us, holding a sharp knife in his hands while blocking our way.

We couldn’t even run in the opposite direction since there were three men who were blocking behind us.

“W…What should we do, brother?” my heart hammered. “They caught up…”

“Be obedient and come here, you brats,” the three rushed towards us, while played with the knife in his hands while laughing.

Claude bend down and put me on the ground. “Stay behind my back. If they dared to come to us, I’ll hold them then you take that as your advantage to run away from here and call for your parents‘ help.”

“But what-” I couldn’t finish my words when he had already pushed me behind his back.

“Run! Don’t look back! I’ll protect you!” Claude yelled as he used his body to attack the masked man who was holding a knife in front of us just for me to escape.

Knowing I couldn’t afford to hesitate–not even for a second–the moment he shouted and moved to stop the masked man. from coming after me, I bolted.
