Children Born in Chains

"What have we to say for ourselves? We are enslaving innocent children! We are heartless beings, and, yet, we have the audacity to call the cold-blooded monsters!" The story of how four broken brothers were mended by a rat with a broken heart. "I can't go with you." "And why not?" "Because I'm not innocent. Owner took that away from me."

Prologue

I never thought that love was something that a creature like me would ever experience. It was foreign outside of what remained of my family. Mother died before I could get the chance to know her. I've never seen Father's face. Oldest says he was handsome.

I wonder if he had blue eyes like me. Maybe.

Owner likes me. I think. Sometimes he whips me for being too loud, or for making Louise cry. I guess she missed me and Owner thought I was supposed to be there. But sometimes, after Maid gives him his drinking juice, he pets me and tells me that I'm a 'good little boy'. Oldest hates it when he does that, but I think that Owner's just trying to be nice.

I like it when he's nice. But sometimes, he's too nice. And then I get sick, and Older gets really mad and breaks something and gets whipped. I feel bad for him. Owner isn't nice to them like he is to me.

Younger told me Owner was nice to me so that Older and Oldest would get mad. I don't get it. Maybe they're mad because Owner's nice to me and not them. But Older told me he wasn't mad at me. Then he told me that I'd understand when I'm older. I guess I'll just wait, then.

Maybe when I understand, Owner will sell us to someone who's nice to all of us. That would be good.

I don't like watching my brothers get whipped.

Me: So... I kind of got this little idea in my head... And I wanted to see what I could do with it... What do you guys think? Yes, it's AU, if anyone's still wondering, lol.

Do you know who's perspective this is...? Take a guess, and you might get a cookie 8D
