"I don't want to live anymore Aoi..."
She flinched and moved her hands towards the boy who shivered and coiled up to a corner until she stopped trying to reach him.
"I was ready... I was ready to be an object...it's not like I didn't think this can happen...then why? why won't I stop shaking Aoi?" He trembled and huffed.
She stood there silently, it had only been a few days since he was in the hospital. She was the only one that could come visit him because Rena could only do as much. Neither Kei nor Yuki and most of all NOT Mari...nobody was allowed to see him.
"When they found out I was a pair to Ms. Mari..my mom said it was the luckiest thing that happened to her... I knew well back then that I was kept there so that when the little girl grows up...she can breed me...like a cattle...It was already decided that I'd be a object...then why? why does it matter if it's her father and not her? it's the same thing! I thought I was ready to be one... I thought I could take it! I thought...!!" He began to hiccup hard
"Haru.." She whispered "It's okay..we're both here..." She pointed to thin air
He wasn't listening, he couldn't.. "Now they want me to keep this..." He placed his hand on his stomach "I was meant to be bred..then..then why...?!" He pulled out his own hair while screaming yet holding his mouth tightly.
"Do you want us to put them to sleep too?" The ten year old girl made his eyes widen and he stopped screaming "It's okay...we can destroy everyone...if it's for Haru..we can..." She reached for his face cupping his pale cheeks and approached his trembling lips.
A harsh thrush echoed in the room, he slapped her hand harder than he thought he would for some reason. Even he was scared "GET OUT! GET OUT YOU DAMN ALPHA! ALL OF YOU ALPHAS ARE ANIMALS! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU ALL! NEVER! NEVER!" He screamed starting to throw things at her when the nurse suddenly arrived. It took them three to four people to confine him down.
"Patient is out of control again! Doctor! call doctor!" The nurse yelled.
"Yes but be careful with him or Mr. Kirihara will be angry at us! he's one of the sponsors of this hospital!" The other said while moving Aoi out of the way.
Some other doctor came in rushing with the same fear of losing an important sponsor rather than a patient.
"What's wrong, why isn't the doctor handling his case here right now?!" The other doctor said.
"He took a leave after a long night duty! we didn't expect the patient would go into a raging fit again after this much time!" One nurse explained whilst forcefully pinning the boy's hands down for others to strap him down.
"Alright explain the situation to me!" The doctor said.
"14 years old, male, omega, sexual assault victim, marked..and..."
"And?"
"...pregnant..!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Don't think bad of me little Aoi, you have been visiting our house every weekend for two years now..you know I'm not like this, it was that silly omega boy who didn't take measures to protect himself" Uzawa justified himself to a silent ten year old child after the nurses called him over.
Aoi looked up at him, she didn't say a word, yet her eyes blamed him and he could feel it
"You are an alpha too aren't you Aoi? You wanted to do same thing too right? you understand right?" He gulped guiltily.
"I'm not like Uzawa san!" She immediately retreated "Right... I'm not like you! I'm not an alpha! Alphas are animals!" She repeated the last words over and over
"You saying it won't change the fact that you are one! You have had the test by now! Do you think I don't know what you did?! over and over! I saw you! you were the one who killed squirrels and birds and our rabbits didn't you little girl? I saw you!" He fought back shaking her.
Her eyes widened and she shook her head, he knew...he knew her dark secret..he would tell Haru...he would tell him that she pictured all the people she hated and killed those things as their substitute...that she wanted them dead..he'd hate her..he'd hate her...!
"It wasn't me! IT WAS HER! IT WAS HER! SHE'S THE MONSTER!" Aoi pointed in thin air yet again.
"The hell? you think this imaginary friends game works on me? Little Haru might've played along with it cause he pitied you but you need to see the truth..you are A BAD PERSON! A MONSTER AND A KILLER!" He pointed at her trying to pass on his own guilt.
Her expression shattered, a chill of fear ran in her whole body "No.. I'm not a monster!"
"Yes you are..! that's why everyone hates you, they think you're creepy! what if they knew that they are right?"He said, completely passing the blame onto the little girl.
"No...it isn't me..I'M NOT A MONSTER! SHE'S A MONSTER!" She yelled in a shattered sense of self, passing the blame too.
"You're gonna blame your imaginary buddy for this huh? You little liar.." He was almost enjoying watching her mind break.
"I'M NOT THE MONSTER, SHE IS! I HATE HER LIKE I HATE YOU! I TRIED TO STOP HER..YES..I STOPPED HER..MUST STOP HER OR SHE'LL HARM EVERYONE..IT WASN'T ME!"
"But you are, you are an alpha and a monster, why are you lying to yourself"
"HIMARI YEOA IS THE ALPHA AND THE MONSTER! AND I WILL PUT HER TO SLEEP! I WILL NEVER BE AN ALPHA!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Haru...baby..just run with me...I'll take you to the states and hide you away..you can start over sweetheart..I'll pay for therapy and living expenses..let's just go.." Rena sobbed begging the young boy who wouldn't even look at anyone let alone talk
Nevertheless, she had already decided that she would take him away no matter what...he won't have to stay here...she had already booked the tickets in emergency..
Her phone rang and she sniffed up and took the call "Why are you calling me?" Rena spoke in a upset tone.
"Well ya might want to come here or my daughter might actually kill your son" Mrs Kirihara replied.
Rena's eyes widened "What do you mean?!"
"Your little boy confessed that he was the one that hid the pills of that omega boy resulting in the whole thing... so little Mari...." She said in a carefree tone.
"SHE WHAT?" Rena panicked and cut the line running out as fast as she could, forgetting Aoi there once again.
She ran through the garden where Aoi and Uzawa were in a horrid argument of blame and passed from inbetween them without paying them heed.
"Rena?!"
"Mari....she tried to strangle Kei to death!!!!" She yelled.
"I'm coming with you!!" He yelled too and got into the same car as her, both of them rushed completely forgetting about Aoi and drove away.
"Aoi....how could you do this to me?" A whisper in the wind made Aoi turn and she literally saw a beast on all fours growling at her "how could you do this..always...always...I have always been with you..since you opened eyes... I was your mother..your father...your brother...your sister...." The beast growled.
"STAY AWAY! MONSTER!" She fell back "YOU ARE A MONSTER!"
"Why are you denying me right now Aoi?! Aren't we one and the same? Aren't we...both monsters?!" The beast gritted.
"STOP! DON'T COME CLOSER! HELP..MONSTER!" She started to back off and some people even gathered up being unable to comprehend the girl who was talking to herself. She tripped on her own feet and hit her head back at a stone...passing out...
"I'm....not...a monster...."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mama..mama I did not do it on purpose! MAMA!" Little Kei wailed and sobbed hard in Rena's lap, he just wouldn't let her loose while she was trying to apply ointment to his neck, crying a little herself too.
Eventually the little boy slept in his mother's lap.
"Enough Uzawa...I'm taking him with me abroad...him and Haru..." She frowned hard at Mr. Uzawa who stood by the bed just watching her.
He took a deep breath and sat down placing his hand to her face "Why...Do you also think it's my fault?" He tried to kiss her but she slapped his face.
"What do you mean think? YOU MOST DEFINITELY ARE IN FAULT! I knew all along you were a low charactered man but THIS?! I COULD BREAK YOUR DAMN FACE! You don't know how badly I want to press charges here! IF YOU HAD EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF SHAME YOU WOULD'VE TURNED YOURSELF IN B*STARD! BUT NO YOU'RE KEEPING THE BOY HIDDEN AND MAKING HIM CARRY YOUR FILTHY KID?" She got all out of breath.
"What kid.....why are you lying? Hey b*tch...how dare you point fingers at my husband in my house over a nasty little brat!" Mrs. Uzawa popped outta nowhere..though it almost seemed like she had been eavesdropping.
"No wait Christine...it isn't what you think!" Mr. Uzawa tried to step in.
"Oh you wanna fight b*tch?!" Rena also got off the bed and Uzawa got pushed back too. Little Kei also woke up from all the hustle and started crying.
Rena and Mrs. Uzawa both attacked at eachother breaking stuff and pulling eachother's hair out while punching kicking and throwing eachother.
"MAMA!" Little Kei yelled and Rena got distracted while Mrs. Uzawa grabbed a paper weight and smashed the woman's face knocking her out.
Uzawa had to used full force to keep Christine off from hitting unconscious Rena while little Kei was horrified and ran to his mother shaking her.
"LET ME GO! I'LL KILL HER! THIS LIAR! THIS LIAR! I'LL KILL HER!" There was no stopping Christine other then the fact that her blood pressure shot and she passed out on her own
"What a mess...." Mr. Uzawa mumbled and laid his second wife down on the bed and called the ambulance first then tended to little Kei.
"Don't worry Kei chan..come here..come to Papa" He squatted down opening his arms calling out to the little boy.
Little Kei trembled and moved away from the man with a dejected look
"NO! YOU'RE NOT MY PAPA! YOU'RE A BAD MAN!
"What are you saying Kei..." The man's eyes widened and his mouth hung open.
"I HATE YOU! YOU ARE AN AWFUL PERSON!"
"NO...KEI....!"
"DON'T CALL MY NAME! YOU MAKE ME FEEL YUCKY!"
"STOP IT....STOP!"
"YOU SHOULD BE NO BODY'S PARENT! I WILL NEVER CALL YOU MY FATHER!"
"....no...."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"What..happened..." The young child mumbled as she opened her eyes to a dark ceiling, just her and her monster...
"Oh...Himari Aoi...you are awake! What happened to you child? Seems like you were passed out for quite some while and we had to call your guardians....Apparently they were abroad so even emergency flights are gonna take time..." The nurse told the child who was staring at the ceiling.
"I see" The child replied.
"What..is something up there...?" The nurse looked up as well since the little girl was staring so intently.
"Nothing..there's nothing" The kid responded.
"Oh Alright, then I'll come check up on you again..why don't you take a nap like a good girl?" The nurse got up and tucked her in a blanket, looking back twice before she left whilst turning off the lights.
The child looked up at the beast in shadows, she did not fear it...just stared...
"You must sleep..." She whispered and the beast growled harder at her in anger.
"I cannot let you linger any longer.." She said and the beast reached it's sharp claws ready to scathe her.
"But..." The paws halted.
"...After you do one more thing for me..."
