Chapter 7 - by Sugar Faerie
Hamster
I always wanted to be
grown up. Always. I wanted to be like the adults, to be able to act
like one of them... there was so much they wouldn't let me do.
I remember Charlotte caught me drinking once, I'd never seen her so angry... I asked her why I wasn't allowed to drink, and she yelled at me, saying "do you want to end up like us?"
I felt so mixed up then. What was so bad about their life? I guess I don't really know all that goes on back home, but still...
Back home. Oh yeah, that's gone now, isn't it?
Here... where are we, really? What are they going to do to us?
I try to ask Cheeky, but she just ignores me. She's been the only person near me since they took Seal away. She was standing in front of me, hiding me from something, and then they grabbed her.. I guess Cheeky wouldn't know what they're going to do to us, either. She always just hangs around, scribbling or spraying stuff on the walls.
I want to ask her again, but I'm it'll be no use... she never paid any attention to me, and I guess that won't start now.
There's banging and screaming everywhere, I look up and I see blood hit the glass of another cell. Who's in there? Are they alright?
Some men- police or guards, I can never tell- come into my cell. One of them says something about a regular little Alice to Cheeky Fairy, then they turn to me.
They grab me, pull me to my feet. Oh god, I'm so afraid...
One of them punches me so hard that I can't breathe, and I hit the floor. I see one of them loom over me...
Whatever Seal wanted to protect me from, I guess I'm about to find out.
