The sixth day of isolation! After drinking the yellowish liquid yesterday, he regained quite a bit of his strength so he started scouting the place, no results were found that day so he's going to continue scouting again.

"My only clue about what's happening here is that guy who's just right after that wall. But no matter how I call or knock at the wall, no one answered. Why is he ignoring me?"

Pushing the thought at the back of his mind, for now, he checks the three walls for cavities. The cage has three walls, one at the left, one at the right, and another one at the south.

He knocks the walls thoroughly with a small rock to check for any cavities in the wall that he can use to escape.

"My time limit is at minimum, one week. I need to escape here before that. No matter their reason for taking me, I do know of one fact... It's that they're evil"

+++++

Night befalls and even now, he's checking the bars for any cavities that he can take advantage of.

"Maybe I should just dig the soil? No, It will take too long and It's too obvious..."

Rejecting the thought of digging the soil to escape, he continued to check for cavities. He can say that the spaces between the bamboo bars are thin and even If you dislocate your shoulder, you still won't get through...

Facing a stalemate, he fell on his knees in front of the bars. Putting his arm in front of his eyes avoiding eye contact with the moon then:

"Oh, you're still alive? Without water at that?"

Splashes of thunder occurred within his eardrums! As If to notify Allaine about the voice indicating danger, the thunder continued to occur within his ears! Resulting in him retracting his arm from his eyes and:

He sees It! He sees It!!! HE SEES IT!!! Another human same to him in this place filled with isolation and coldness! An adult one at that! Outside the bars is an adult human with tan skin, facial hair that indicates he never shaves, and sharp, thin eyes that indicates he's an Asian! That sharp thin eyes glaring at his very being as If to suck the soul within his very life!!!

Seeing the person in front of his very eyes, he became petrified! The ability to speak or move was removed from his body! The world and time stopped! Nothing transpired except Allaine who was staring at him with shock and utter speechlessness!!!

As If to say that time has moved once again, chills run down through his spine! Making his whole body feel cold!

"Well, sorry If you hadn't received any rations. I truly apologize so don't stare at me like that, little boi..."

The person finally moved his mouth and started to utter words to Allaine! But the moment his words finally finished, his petrified pupils turned down... His round mouth was brought to a frown and his eyebrows supported the pupils! Resulting in a glare!

A glare filled with fire within his eyes, his teeth are shaking from the blood boiling anger he's feeling! His fingers unconsciously grabbed the soil beside him, resulting in some soil being stuck inside his fingernails...

"Oi oi oi, that glare... Stop that, will you? I just forgot to give you food, that's It. Good job, surviving though..."

The man crouched down leaving a single drumstick of chicken at the ground full of soil and a cup of water. Leaving those two things at the ground, he finally left Allaine's line of sight... and moved towards another cage...

"Oh, Frank! It's just 3 days till the day, hmm? Aren't you excited?"

"Dont ya engage in a convosation towards meh, ya stinkin old man..."

Once again, he heard that same voice 6 days ago! The voice that he searched for but nowhere to be found finally appeared at this moment! But as quick as the lightning, the voice disappeared once again...

"It seems he didn't engage in any conversation and just left food, huh?"

Finally leaving the right wall, he laid his sight at the drumstick the man left for him. Not even bothering to bring a plate or anything to keep the food clean... More than that, It's leftover food that he already ate!

"I'm more than used to eat leftovers but..."

He just stares at the drumstick, unsure whether or not he's going to eat It... His pride won't let him eat It! Accepting this would mean that he's just like an animal! An animal that is in a cage and being feed through leftovers... BUT!!!

"I want to live..."

Slowly lifting his arms, he reached for the drumstick with mud still sticking on It... He raises the chicken and shoved It into his mouth... The tender, rough and juicy texture of the chicken is getting ruined by the slimy, disgusting taste of mud...

But! But!! BUT!!! This is the only food that he got for the last six days! He slowly chewed the chicken, ignoring the taste Of It... and also ignoring his pride...
