Chapter 1

Hunger

"Momma, im hungry" I said. My deepest desire forming words, desire that I have been holding in for what felt like nearly 9 days now…the desire to be fed

"We have no food" she said looking over at me from where she was laying. Her voice was like a horrid whisper.

I sat up looking at my mother her face drain out with stress and hunger. I felt the hard wooden floor under me that we were laying on. The air smelt stench, most likely because of our bodies. Flies were pitching on us including my body, mommy was bleeding again…why was she bleeding? The blood pooled at her lower region where she laid, flies were pitching around her the scent of iron was strong in the one-roomed house we lived in.

"We only have a little piece left…go on…eat it, we have to survive"

I looked down at my stringy hands staring at the boney frame of my fingers.

Eat…yes…I want to eat, I'm so hungry and I need to eat, but what about mother, no, I can't, we have to share, but, I'm so hungry…is it worth it?

I stood up and staggered over to the pot on the furthest part of the room scratching my ribs that protruded out my torn ragged dress. There was next to no fat between my skin and bone and I could smell the dirt off my skin and the sound of flies buzzing and pitching everywhere.

I lifted the pot cover looking at the raw meat. There were maggots on it. I ripped piece off with my fingers and picked the white insects off. I was about to put it to my lips when I realized a fine red worm crawling out.

My eyes widened, my stomach churned in disgust and I was about to throw it on the floor, but this was food, this was what we had been living on for the past 3 months.

I picked the worm out squashing it with my fingers watching as the blood gushed all over my skin, closing my eyes as I imagined the wet dripping raw meat in my hand to be a piece of just baked, sweet soft bread

I bit.

Tearing pieces off with my teeth.

I chewed.

Feeling it fill my mouth with its raw wet juices.

I swallowed.

I forced it down my throat feeling it fall into my stomach I felt filled alone with that first bite….well that's what I wanted. I began ravishing the lump of room was filled the slurping noises, my grunts and tearing of ligaments. I felt like an animal devouring its prey greedily. By the time I was done I was staring at the empty pot bottom with drained blood pooling at the base. I blinked and my heart froze

"Mo-mma"

I felt tears going down my cheeks, what have I done….i ate it all….i ate what was to serve us…..I got so lost I couldn't control myself!

"Momma!" I screamed as I crawled to her my bloody hands smudging the mold covered hard wood floor. I held on to the cloth of her blood soaked skirt my tiny legs giving out as I laid on my stomach looking up at her, she looked down at me her body unable to move. Her cold purple eyes met mines as they cringed in disgust

"You ate it all didn't you"

My eyes widened, this isn't momma, it's this part of her that comes out when she isn't feeling well. I looked at her tears rolling down my cheeks in misbelief. Something was wrong with momma. Momma was sick. Momma was sick everywhere even in her head.

"Momma im sorry I never meant to i-I was sho hungwry" I could taste my own tears in my mouth my tongue felt burning hot with blood and I could taste the bile coming up my throat

"you animal! Take your filthy hands off me- ANIMAL, YOU'RE A FUCKING ANIMAL!"

"Mommma!" I began crying I released her skirt as I watched the fraught come up her mouth. I moved away, it was happening again. I was too young to know what a fit was….i was only five.

"H-How can you eat those monsters- do you know where that fucking meat is from" She said through her seizure as she shook violently. I held my head sitting up as I pulled myself across the other side of the room screaming as I ran my hand through my hair. My head felt heavy my eyes felt heavy my entire body heavy as my hands fell to my side strands of my hair between my fingers

Don't say it…..don't say it….don't say that the meet we have been living on all this time….is from titans..
