Once I was taken down to the bottom of the facility I was awe-struck. The guard rips the tape off my mouth. I open my mouth but then quickly move my head back. "Is he..." the guard shook his head. "No, just passed out from the experiment, Some say it took hours to get him to calm down. Then minutes to get him to fall asleep with drugs given to him, he's a strong fellow." I was surprised, I thought I was the only real fighter here, guess I was wrong. "Is he a Manivor!? The one and ONLY! It would make sense! I bet he really wanted to bight one of your legs off, or even maybe your HEADS! Though you wouldn't taste good. Patron said you guys had one, but I didn't know it would be real, like actually HERE! How much do you get paid to deal with him do you even-" He covers my mouth with his hand. "No more questions kid, get in the cell, you'd be lucky not to be eaten alive by this thing." I'm guessing he doesn't have a name then. The officer quickly opens and shuts the gate, with no trouble of course I willingly walked in. "good luck kid." I chuckled, "I don't need luck. I've got intelligence, and a will to DIE!" I smile. The guard took my word for it and threw something at the being in front of me, then ran. He quickly woke up seeing me standing there, with no fear in my eyes. He began to growl at me. "oh please only... dogs.... growl." This boy in front of me had a tail and ears as though he was a species that wasn't supposed to be created. Even though he was technically, but I never thought I'd see one in real life. He stopped quickly and turned his gaze to the ground. He saw the cut marks, is he going to try and eat my leg!? I step back in caution. "Ha! got ya rich boy." He speaks like a normal human, his voice was deep yet pitched, it was soothing, full of lost hope. I like it :D "ah. No, I thought you'd eat my leg off." I cross my arms. "ahuh, is it because of these." He barks at me flashing his sharp teeth, there very, "beautiful." crap! I said that out loud. He just stares at me for a while and gets closer to me. "No one's ever said that to me... are you dead inside or somethin'" Usually I would correct someone with words like his, but man, I just couldn't for the life of me correct such a hopeless being. "Yes." I smile at him, as he moves back, now with caution. Looks like the tables have turned huh? "I just think your teeth are unique as well as your voice and... well... everything." he had a slight blush on his face as he looked away, I'm guessing he doesn't get complimented that often. I pat the floor telling him to sit next to me when one of the guards comes in and takes him away. Like the guard said he was a fighter. I just sat there as if I was watching an action movie or something. A few hours later he came back scared and brushed all over his body, it seems they had ripped off his shirt because his shirt had rips that weren't there before. The guard threw him in the cell, causing him to bang his head on the wall and even harder on the floor. I wait until the guard leaves to run up to him. "Are you alright, what happened to you." He wouldn't respond, which caused me to worry even more. What am I doing... worrying about a stranger I don't even know... did I really care for him that much. I picked him up and gently laid his head on my shoulder, wrapped my arms around him, and began to sing. Even though I wasn't that good, I tried to comfort him, the bad times would be over soon enough, I know we will be delivered from this home of death and destruction. I just didn't know when. The fact was, he is one of the most experimented on. Most likely when the others aren't being tested he's going through pain, and I thought my life was bad enough. A few hours later he had fallen asleep but was awoken by the guards, there were four of them this time. "Let him rest, it's not fair that he has to go through this hour after hour!" The guard shrugged and opened the gate. I held the boy tightly close to me, I wasn't going to let him go easily. The guards pulled me away from him and they dragged his body down the hall, threw me back, and quickly closed the gate to the cell. I run-up to the gate and scream all types of vulgar words I've never said before. It was hours when he came back, he looked worse than ever. His head was unwrapped and bleeding, as well as his arms, they gave him a collar with spikes on the inside, as they dragged him by it, I could see the blood dripping down his neck, they did give him a new shirt though. I guess that's a plus. The guard attempted to throw him against the wall, but I immediately got between him and the wall so he banged against my chest instead. "Don't try anything stupid kid, like get his hopes high to the sky." And like that the guard was gone. This time he was breathing hard, I'm guessing they didn't even try to drug him for this. "Don't move." I told him as I took his shirt off to see what was underneath it. Duck tape, with blood. I could see some sort of word under the duck tape so I had to take it off. "I'm going to remove the tape ok, on the count of three, one."

"Please...d-don't"

two." he could tell, I wasn't listening to him but he kept on begging. "three!" I rip the duck tape off his back quickly so the pain wouldn't be as bad as it would have been if I was slow about it. "AAAAAAAAAAH!!!-" I put my hand over his mouth to keep his screams at a low, the last thing I need is for them to know I'm helping him out. He screams in my hand as I rip the rest of the tape off. "mmmmmmmm-hm-hm!" I gasped with the sight of the words on his back. "Useless... Killer!" The boy begins to cry a bit but doesn't make noises, I feel his tears on my lap. I place him down gently and rip up his shirt to use as bandages.

"your welcome..." That's right I never got his name, "Connor Manson... Seems like... You care..."

"Only because you're a one-of-a-kind species and having you die would be a let down for experiments and science evolution. I don't care for you." I don't know.... Do I?
