When his eyes cracked open, he was met with an unexpected reality he never thought he'd face.
He felt no pain and could see clearly, staring up at the dark, gray ceiling. He figured by now he would be dead, or held in a correctional facility by now.
"He's awake!" He heard an excited chirp by his side, turning only to be staring right into the eyes of another person, their noses almost touching. He let out a yelp, falling back against the dingy mattress he'd been lying on.
"Don't scare him, Donghae." Another voice snapped as he turned to look back at the one called 'Donghae'.
"Hey, I didn't scare you, right?" The other boy asked, head tilt
Sirens rang out across the districts, red lights flashing over the tall, cracked buildings. Fires stretched over the buildings as a harsh glow lit the entire city, reflected by the blood red sky.
Shots ran out as explosions shook the city's foundations, shadows momentarily forgotten as the lights grew horribly brighter.
A boy ran across the rubble, chest heaving and legs pushing him as fast as he could. His face was pale, caused by the blood soaking through his black jeans. He flinched, letting out a weak cry as his legs buckled underneath him, sending him into the ground, his un-covered arms torn open by the wreckage.
"He's this way, get
He's not sure what he's done when it's finished. The large suit lying limp on the ground, blood staining the floor. He still feels as though its' groaning is ringing in his ears, making chills run up his spine.
"D-Daddy!" The little girl is sobbing, shaking its' arm. "Daddy, please!"
"You can't save them all.." The blond at his side tells him, resting his hand on his shoulder in a form of comfort. He glances at him. "Take her. You can either harvest her or save her."
"What will that do?" He frowns, turning to give the little brother a fierce glare.
"It will give you ADAM. You're going to need it, Mr. Angel.." The blond shrugs, glancing ba
Alexander is listening to music from one earbud as he makes his way down the dark street. His apartment, unfortunately, is on the wrong side of town, so it's never a good idea to walk around unaware of one's surroundings. That's how people get jumped, children.
So when he hears shouts and signs of a ruckus starting down the streets, he ducks into an alleyway to avoid the potential problem of confrontation. He makes his way inside the long, dark alley, hiding near a dumpster as he hears the voices get louder.
That's how he came to find a scared, trembling girl crouched next to the dumpster, eyes wide and full of terror as she stares up at h
It's loud when he drags her in through the front door, a bouncer at the front easily giving them access.
"This is where you'll work, alright?" The man holding her arm offers her a small smile, and she can't help but weakly return it, nodding obediently. "For now, though, your place will be in the back for training." He explained, leading her through the throngs of men and even some women, most of them planting their eyes on her as soon as they passed. It wasn't a comfortable feeling, she'd admit easily. Was this really where he expected her to work?
"You need the money, right?" That answered her question, her head bowing as she nodded slowl
