tricks with me.
"How do you know that he died? He's right here." Monster boy touches his heart. "You want to know what really happened to Relling?"
I want to know.
"Yes."
Monster boy sits down next to me. "When Relling disappeared, he was actually abducted by one of the SHO members."
"What did they do to him?"
"The SHO injected him with these chemicals that make you go insane, then, every single hour, they would inject him with different chemicals. This went on for six years."
I can't believe this.
"And when I woke up, I was so hungry since SHO wouldn't feed me. They told me to kill. And I did. I was so hungry, that I couldn't even think."
I gulp. "Cloud. Are you really Cloud?" I look at monster boy. I look at his eyes. Nothing. He doesn't look like Cloud at all.


Phase 7

It's quiet. Nothing's moving. Monster boy smiles. I can see his razor sharp teeth.
"I kept you alive. You should thank me."
I look closely at his face. Cloud had a faint scar over his left eyebrow.
I see it. It's faint; but I can still see it.
Monster boy smirks.
"Thanks." I say.
"Part of me wants to help you." says monster boy. He licks his lips.
I look around. I see Daimon and Kade's bloody body. I cringe at the sight.
Monster boy continues talking, "You seem so helpless. That group you were in..." His voice trails off and he looks at me. "They were working for the SHO."
The SHO? I couldn't believe it. Kade was working for the SHO. The organization that made Cloud into a monster.
"Then why did Daimon try to kill everyone?" I ask.
Monster boy laughs. "After I killed his sister, the kid went mad. He thought that everyone was against him."
I'm quiet.
"That's why I killed everyone that's working for the SHO. They're too noisy. I like it when it's quiet."
A sudden breeze makes me shiver.
"SHO. You want to know what they're up to?" Monster boy grins.
The thought of Cloud turning into the monster boy makes me mad.
"Yea." I say
"And don't worry. You won't get hurt. I'll kill everyone that works there. Soon, SHO will be destroyed." Monster boy grins.
I can't believe I'm with monster boy/ Cloud.


Monster boy takes me out of the woods. It's been a while since I've been on the streets.
It's quiet and the streets are empty. I sigh. Everything is happening so fast.
"Hey." Monster boy looks at me.
"What?"
"We're here."
I'm standing in front of an old shack.
"Go in. I'll get some food." Monster boy turns and starts walking away.
"Wait!" I call.
He stops and turns around. "What?"
"What if someone comes in while you're gone?"
Monster boy sighs. He almost seems human now. "Don't worry. I'll be back soon."
"Be careful!" I call.
He smiles and walks away.
I look around the shack. I see an old picture of Cloud and me back when we were ten. I smile at the thought.
I lean back against the wall. What would I be doing if Ina and Daisy were alive? Would I still be hiding from monster boy? Probably. I look at my hands. They're still smeared with blood. I close my eyes and I see my family.

My mother, Daisy, and I were poor. We would always scrape the food off the streets and at night, we would sleep under trees. But my family wasn't always poor. We were once normal; going to restaurants, owning a nice apartment; going to school. That life ended when my father died. The cause of death was cardiac arrest. My dad owned a business specializing in robotics. I thought that my mother would take over the business but turns out that my father's business went bankrupt shortly after my father's death. And before I even knew it, I'm living on the streets, begging for food. We lived like this for about two years but one day, my mother went to beg for food to a merchant who sells seafood. When the merchant refused, my mother tried to steal some. I saw the merchant grabbing my mother's arm and he threw her onto the ground. I saw her head crack and the blood pooling out. After my mother's death, I became Daisy's mom. I begged for food and protected her. Until monster boy showed up.

I wake up to find myself in tears. I quickly wipe them away and I see a pack of sliced chicken seasoned and cooked in a sealed plastic bag.
"Cloud?" I whisper.
Monster boy comes into view. He has blood splattered all over.
"How did you get this?" I ask.
Monster boy smiles. "Guess."
"No."
"I stole them from a merchant."
"And you ate the merchant?"
Monster boy's inhuman eyes meet mine.
I look at his bloody hands.
"Just eat." Monster boy gets up and walks out of the shack.
I rip open the sealed bag and the smell of roasted chicken fills the shack. I wolf down the chicken in two minutes.
Monster boy walks back in.
"You want to see the SHO base?" He asks.
I nod. He gets up and starts walking away. I crumple up the plastic bag and follow monster boy out.
"How long is this going to take?" I ask.
Monster boy doesn't answer. He keeps on walking.
I hear a sudden rustle and I grab my knife out.
Monster boy sniffs the air. Then he licks his lips.
"What is it?" I ask.
But he's already gone. I hear a scream. It's a girl's scream. I hear a crack and everything's quiet.
Monster boy walks back, munching on something red and slimy. Blood runs down his mouth as he's chewing. I almost gag.
"Want some?" he asks.
I look away and quickly walk away.
"That's not the way to the SHO base." Monster boy shouts.
