《The Perfect Specimen》I Will Want Something In Return
Advertisement
He walks out of the slaughter house and into the hallway to see Alistair looking up at the ceiling, taking deep sniffs. Looking completely deranged, eyes bloodshot red, skin as pale as snow, drool leaking from his mouth.
Alistair snaps his head down towards the bowl in the boys hand and pounces at him with no warning. The boy swiftly throws the bowl at Alistair and dodges to the side, ready to counter attack.
What he sees next though makes him speechless. Alistair is stooped over, with his head in the bowl of 'The Rough Special' and licking it clean. Seemingly content with this alone, he ignores the student completely.
The moment Alistair gets to the slaughter house with the student, he is assaulted by a familiar enticing stench. One that causes a new reaction with the spirals inside of his body. The spirals in his head and heart slow to crawl, while the speed of the spiral in his stomach doubles.
He loses all rationality from the pain once the student walked by him with a bowl oozing with the delicious smell. He is still able to see and process the situation clearly, except his body is moving on its own.
The spiral in his stomach became such a driving force that he could practically hear it telling him, "You must eat what's in that bowl!"
As he eats, he feels as if the spiral inside of him is supplementing his body, causing the sickly pale skin to turn a shade rosier. However, that does not appear to be all that it is capable of. However there is no more food to gain benefits from.
Thus the spiral inside of his stomach spins furiously in frustration. Causing Alistair to look for more of the food.
He sees the boy off to the side and decides to dash into the room he just came out of. What he sees leaves him flustered. The scent began assaulting him from every direction as he sees the same type of monster being processed one by one into a machine that gives off the pleasant aroma.

Right next to him he sees a vat of bloody organs. Without being polite he dunks his head inside of the vat and begins feasting. He sucks down the entire vat worth or Rough Special, leaving a small amount left for a snack later.
He begins to notice a significant change in his body.
His once famished body begins to look healthier. Although from outside of his outfit it would be very difficult to tell, but his stomach is no longer as concaved as it once was. His arms now have a slightly meaty definition to them. He is now at the normal healthy starting line for human children around 7 years old.
Once done eating, the spirals inside of his body regulate back to their normal speeds and the spiral inside of his stomach thickens in size by the breadth of a hair. He notices that the changes to his body are not as significant as before in comparison to how much he ate.
The first time he ate a small amount barely even qualifying as a snack. That gave him the gift of sight. The next time at the feast, after eating his full his throat and vocal cords were repaired granting him the gift of speech. Now he ate his fill and it only made him look a small amount healthier.
He lifts his head from the vat and takes the bowl that he got from the student, scoops up the remaining Rough Special, and keeps it for later. Afterwards, he ponders about the changes to his body and why they vary.
He also starts to wonder why his diet is unique. After the spiral in his head took the information given by the people at the cafeteria and the feast, he is able to piece together that his diet is anything but normal. He thinks to himself,

"There is only one place I can go to find out more about why I'm different from everyone else, the library. To do that though I will need to learn to read...but how? At this rate I will have to many situations where I will be constantly in trouble."
At this moment due to his acute hearing he hears the sound of the student creeping in through the door.
The student stealthily walks into the slaughter house ready for a fight as he needs to get Alistair to the cafeteria to eat the Rough Special. However, he sees Alistair covered in the processed blood and the vat of Rough Special gone.
"What the hell man!? How can you stomach that stuff, and where did you put all of it?! it's double the size of you!" He blurted out, revealing himself from hiding. Alistair turns around lets out a satisfying belch. He smiles to the student and says,
"That stuff was amazing! How come they don't serve this at the cafeteria?"
The student at this point decides to give up on being surprised. He brings the back of his hand to his chest over the golden circle and says, "Mrs. Diamond, there's no more Rough Special...The new kid ate all of it."
He hears a reply back instantly only giving one statement, "Fulfill your oath or suffer the consequences." It was at this point he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How can he fulfill his oath with the main dish missing.
He turns to Alistair and asks, "Come on man, you got to have left some of it! There was so much left in there when I got the bowl of-" He looks at Alistair's hands and sees him holding the bowl. He asks while clinging to his final hope, "Is there anymore left in there?"
Alistair looks down at the bowl, then back to the boy and smiles coyly, "Oh yeah, there is definitely some in here. I was planning on having it as a snack for later but I can give it to you if you want, but I will want something in return."
The student looks at Alistair as if he's stupid and says, "You know I could just beat you up and take the bowl from you right? Why would I need to make a deal with you?"
Alistair smiles at the boy and says, "Because I can eat this faster than you can get to me."
