I approach the boy after he has discarded his disguise. He has spotted me and reaches for his weapon.
"wait," I say, "I come in peace."
"After what you did to her, you'll come in pieces when I'm don't with you!" he shouts.
"Shhhhh!" I cry, frightened, "She'll hear you!"
"Who?" asked the boy. He doesn't know, but I hear the stretching of Her neck coming for us.
"come on," I exclaim, "we've got to hide!"
It is tough, but I manage to drag the boy into a hiding place.
"let go of me!" he cries, but I put my hand over his mouth.
"please be quiet!" I plead, "or She will find us."
"who?" asks the boy, as the head of the Teacher comes looking for a ruckus.
"Her," I whisper.
Luckily she doesn't hear us, and quickly leaves.
"who was that?" asked the boy.
"the Teacher," I reply. "she's in charge of this School, and the other Bullies, myself included are terrified of her."
"why?" asked the boy.
"because she is always looking for us to be naughty, so she can beat us, shock us, or other forms of torture. And she's got my friend."
"your friend?" asked the boy.
"yes," I reply, "a girl Bully. She was the only one (other than me), who seems to retain her mentality from her previous live. You see," I continue, "we were turned into students called Bullies by the Doctor. He runs the Hospital of the Pale City, while we are confined to the School. My friend tried to defy the Teacher, and she was taken away. I'm trying to rescue her, but I can't do it alone, so after seeing how resourceful you are, I was hoping that you'd help me rescue my friend."
"why should I help any of you?" asked the boy, "even if you didn't take part, your fellow Bullies captured my friend, Six."
"Six?" I ask.
"she's a girl," explained the boy, "but one of flesh, not of porcelain. The other Bullies took her away, so I'm on my way to rescue her." He held out his hand, "what is your name?"
I hesitated, "I honestly don't remember my name."
"well, I'm Mono," said the boy, "and I think I'll call you 'B' since you're a Bully, but don't act like one."
"okay then," I said, "B it is." The boy began to walk away.
"wait, let me help you," I said, "to rescue Six."
"well, okay then," said Mono, "it will probably be good for me to have someone who knows this School better than I do."
"okay then," I say, "let's go."
