There was absolute silence in the room. Kit desperately tried to cover his back side knowing his parents would go there first. Fudge held Kit's other hand. Crunch was horrified and shocked beyond belief. And...Deviled Dish he was furious. Finally the couple moved and Fudge pulled Kit into a tighter embrace as he was shaking like mad.

"D-Don't worry I won't leave you." She whispered and Kit responded with a weak nod, he felt overwhelming fear as his parents got closer. He saw his father pull out a whip except this one had barbed wire for the whip. And a small dagger was tied to the end. He looked over to Fudge who had paled,

"Go. Leave me." Kit said pulling away from his friend.

"No I can't!" Fudge said as Kit's parents we're now surrounding them,

"Please." He said and Fudge nodded as tears came to her eye's and she ran as fast as she could. She heard the sound of the whip being whacked and Kit's screams. She ran out the house and saw it was storming as the harsh rains was turning the chocolate dirt into mud. Fudge was almost away from the property when she was tackled to the ground. She turned around to see Crunch,

"I'm not letting you get away!" She said.

"Get off of me! I knew I shouldn't have trusted you! From the beginning you two gave off a terrifying vibe but I didn't dare follow it! Now I see it was right!" Fudge screamed as she tried to get away from Crunch. Luckily the mud was slippery enough for her to slide right from under Crunch. Fudge then got up and ran hoping her friend would be okay. Meanwhile Deviled Dish had just stopped whipping Kit. His face was stained with tears, his back was bloody and torn. His father dropped the whip and walked in front of him.

"You talked to her and read a book. You learned the alphabet and you disobeyed our rules." He said, "I'm going to take you somewhere where nobody will ever find you." Deviled Dish then hit Kit hard on his rump and he wailed. His father gave a cruel smirk and dragged his son by his ears. Kit didn't even try to scrim out of it; he knew his fate had been sealed. He looked over to his mother who was sitting on a couch watching him being dragged away. Deviled Dish dropped Kit and Crunch came over with some chains and a metal cage. She forced the chains onto him and as she put the chains on his neck Kit swore he could see tears in his mother's eye's. Finally she put the arm chains on him and Deviled Dish came back with a pill.

"Swallow it." He ordered his son shoving the pill into his mouth, when Kit hesitated Deviled Dish hit him aside the head. "Swallow it!" And he swallowed the pill, Deviled Dish then threw Kit into the cage and locked it with a key. He then lifted the cage and started carrying it and the "demon" out in the rain. Kit wanted to stay awake so he could find his way back but he felt drowsy and before he knew it he fell asleep.

Kit woke up not knowing where he was but he did know his father was still with him; he could hear him breathing. Where ever he was the walls we're a dark brown and it sounded like his dad was walking on stone. It could be a cave but he couldn't be sure. Finally the cage dropped and Kit saw Deviled Dish starting to leave.

"...Why?" He asked tears starting to cascade down his face, his father stopped and turned around.

"What?" He said eerily quiet,

"W-Why are you doing-" Kit said before he was cut off.

"BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT LIKE ME OR YOUR MOTHER!" Deviled Dish shouted, "You don't have our eye's, our chocolate skin color, our traits, you are nothing like us! Our family prides itself with tradition and conformity! You broke that! You arent the same as me or your mother. And there's certainly nothing traditional about being white instead of black! And worst of all you're a runt! You are not my son and your lucky I'm doing this...because I would relish in the thought of you being dead." And he walked off leaving a stunned Kit behind. Finally he cried his parents really did hate him.

Meanwhile Fudge had just gotten home. And of course, her parents we're fawning and floundering over her.

"Your hair, your dress! It's a mess!" Coco cried,

"It's nothing don't bother the mud will dry." Fudge sighed.

"Your way late and your eye's looks like somebody had a cry." Fried Fritter commented,

"You'll get a cold!" Coco said.

"That won't stand. We'll run you bath so please get out of that dress." Fried Fritter added shooing Fudge up the stairs. As Fudge went up the stairs speedy yet frantic music began to play.

I wish. I wish that my parents wernt so worrying.

I wish my friend's parents we're much more loving.

I wish I could face danger like him, be courageous and not running away.

I wish I could save him from his abusers without causing them to drift away.

I just really want to help him even if it kills me.

Fudge sang as she walked into her room and changed into her robe. She then sat on her bed and sighed.

I just really wish I had the guts to try.

And Fudge looked out the window as the music ended and prayed that her friend was safe; where ever he was. She then heard her mother calling her for her bath. Fudge sighed and walked back down the stairs.
