Warnings: abuse of many kinds, rape, human experimentation… there's so many morbid things here!

Chapter 3 – Read my Lips
Axel:
I stare at her wide eyed. I don't know how she wants me to answer. Should I lie and tell her I'm just clumsy? Should I tell her the truth? Should I act like I don't know what she's talking about?
While I think about this Zack has come around in front of me. He raises a hand towards me. I cringe away, expecting to be hit for taking too long. I'm surprised when his hand lands on my head and he ruffles my hair.
What? That's it? He's not gonna hit me?
I look up at him, curious. He smiles a huge smile.
"It's alright squirt. You can tell us the truth. We're not gonna hurt you, and neither will anyone else. And you're not gonna get in trouble weather or not you answer. I promise." He sticks out his pinky.
I hesitantly stick out my pinky and link it with his. I mutter, "M'Kay."
I feel a soft patting at my back. I drop Zack's pinky and turn to look and see it's Cloud. He sorta smiles… I think,
"Come on. Let's sit down for this." He speaks softly.
They stand and walk to a door on the other side of the room. Huh? I finally realize we're in a room and not the hallway. I blink a few times, and look around. The room is white, there are flowers everywhere and the carpet's pink and fluffy.
I see Zack pulling out a bean-bag chair-thingie. It's dark blue and has Superman, Ironman, Hulk, and lotsa other superhero's on it. It looks really cool!
"Thanks! Aerith customizes them for us." Zack answers.
Huh? Guess I spoke out loud again.
"You see that light blue one with chocobo's and swords on it?" Zack gestures to a bean bag in a corner. "That one's Cloud's." As soon as he says this, Cloud appears beside it and drags it till it's meshed with Zack's. As they flop down onto them I turn to Aerith, who is lugging her own bean-bag over, and I ask, "Do I get one too?" I reeeaaaly want one.
Aerith smiles a wide grin. "Of course! I don't have one for you know though." Hers is light pink with a ton of flowers on it.
I look down and shuffle my feet. The carpet feels really soft. Should I just sit on that?
Can I even sit at all?
Cloud stand up and moves to the closet Zack got his bean bag out of. "We have some left. They don't have any cool patterns though." He ducks into the closet.
Is he psychic?
He pokes his head out to speak again, "Want one of those?"
"Sure."
He ducks back in and comes out with a black one and a green one. "Which one do you want?"
I think this over carefully. Do I wanna have the green one? It's not the same green as my eyes. It's more like the color of trees. Or maybe I should take the black one. I have always liked black.
"Black it is then." Cloud says, throwing the green one back inside the closet and shutting the door. I follow his every movement. He plops the bean-bag in front of the others. Aerith's is next to and in front of Clouds.
I turn to it and jump on it. I wince as my shoulder hurts when I land. And my knee. And my chin. But mainly my shoulder.
I sit up and rub it in smell circles. Doing this reminds me that they want to know about my… injuries.
I start fidgeting in the chair. I let the large poofy thing swallow me up.
I hear Zack laugh. "That comfy squirt?"
I peek open an eye and see Cloud curled up on his lap on their meshed bean-bags. I blush a little at their lovey-dovey-ness. Aerith giggles quietly, hiding it with a hand over her mouth.
Then she stops, and still smiling softly, she addresses me. "Come out of hiding. Remember, we won't hurt you. Please come out and tell us about your life. You don't have to say anything you don't want to."
I sit up and stare at her funny. I look slowly at all of them. Zack is curious now, but not frowning. But he's not smiling either, like he normally does. And Cloud just looks blank.
I take a deep breath, close my eyes, make fists with my hands clenching the bottom of my shirt. I breathe out as I open my eyes. Then I open my mouth to begin.
A/N: I LIVE! I AM writing more and I DO have an idea where this is going. This was always gonna be a cliffy in my mind! Next chapter does a time skip till the next piece of plot happens. (A.k.a. Another kid comes to Happy Hearts. ;P) Who will it be? Guesses anyone?
