Bella's Secret

*Frisk's POV*

The next day, things didn't go as well as I had hoped for them to go.

Because my expectations were very low, this day was one of the worst.

How foolish I was to think nothing worse could come after that day

I had to go back to lunch and yard hours, luckily, G avoided me most of the time.

Sometimes I could see his sickly smirk across the room, as he stared at me with dark, amused, eyes.

What was he hiding in those eyes that I didn't know about?

I knew it had something to do with The Prince, the Damn Prince he has mentioned.

As I thought about it, sitting next to Bella at our usual table, I realized G never said anything that relates to his past. The only thing I had heard about it, is The Prince.

Curiosity ached me, but I knew that asking would probably get me killed.

Literally.

I was already almost dead from the aching pain in my stomach as I ate, and the bloody pain from my head, even thinking make me wince a bit.

"Whatcha thinking about?" Bella asked, her lime eyes noticing me wince.

"Nothing important, I'm sure," I replied as I poked my food, unable to take another bite of the orange, sticky, glop.

To my relief, Bella didn't push on my thoughts and she ate some of the food. 

Unable to help myself, I watched her.

I watched her slobber fall onto the plate as she held her head over it, not wanting to get any on her jumpsuit. She stayed as quiet as she could when she ate, though I could still hear each swallow she made, and each chew when she tried to keep her mouth shut.

Though I knew she felt self-cautious about that stuff, even if she wont admit it. 

So I never bug her about it, or tell her to stop, or even find any annoyance at all.

I smile and bare with it as I turn to eat my own food.

Prison is a cold underground cellar, with no windows or doors, and only the dead rats to eat.

At least, that's what it reminded me of.

I knew that to survive I needed to eat something... but nothing caught me fancy. 

Besides, the food never classified as "food" in my head.

Yet to Bella, it almost seemed tasty.

"... You enjoy the food?" I asked, poking at my own food as I looked at Bella with curious eyes.

It felt good to get at least a little curiosity off my chest, even though G's secrets kept my head pounding with wonder.

"Huh?" Bella said as she looked up at me with sharp green eyes, "Um... Would you believe a no?"

I chuckled softly, "No..."

"Oh... then I suppose I do..." She smiled a crooked smile and the side of her mouth dripped slightly.

Even with her frightening teeth and slick mouth, Bella's smile was quite comforting.

Yet what she said made me gulp down my shiver.

"It actually taste similar to a corpse." 

I turned pale and looked at her with shock, praying that what she said was a joke just like the first time she had a meal.

"..." Bella seemed to turn pale as well, even though her skin was a sharp pale green, "O-Oh... right you didn't know about that..."

Even if I didn't know what she was talking about, I had a feeling I would find out. So I shoot my head, not ready to be shocked yet.

"Wait. Just tell me in the cell... don't want to make a scene here," I said giving her a weak smile, although terror was shoved in my heart.

Bella turned her head to look the monster beating a girl and others laughing around him. She turned back to me and smiled crookedly, "I don't think our chatting will make much of a scene in this place."

I laughed nervously, and cursed at myself for sounding fake.

Suddenly my food seemed interesting, and I stared at it instead of Bella's mysterious eyes.

Finally lunch ended, and we all went back to our cells, G staying in the room.

Which I had no interest in.

I don't know why it made me so curious, what was he doing in there.

I tried to ignore it and focused my curiosity and fear of Bella's secret. 

No one ever knows how terrifying your curiosity is, until you are about to find out the answers.

That was what I felt when I sat on the bed and watched the guards lock the cell, the bars accompanied by Bella.

There was a very long silence between us, and I decided to speak first.

I said, "How did you get into prison?"

This question was one that had picked at my brain since I had met Bella. I couldn't understand how that sweet girl ended up in a sickly prison.

Though I had a feeling, what she said in the cafeteria had something to do with it.

"Oh..." She said as if relieved with my question, "Well... you see.... I have always found dead things interesting..."

That sentence alone made me almost want to puke, until I saw her helpless eyes. 

It wasn't something she could control.

So I listened, fighting every shiver that came to me.

When she saw I was listening, and okay with her words, she continued.

"Dead things always caught my eye. Road kill, or even the dead animals from the trees. When monsters were freed, I was only 16. The roads were full of new animals, new creatures.... ones I wondered would look like dead... I wondered what they would taste like dead...."

Bella's eyes seemed to drift off and I forced myself to gulp down my gag. 

This was one of the most friendliest conversations I had with anyone.

And it was about death.

"So I killed," Bella flat out said her eyes staring at me with a strong hunger, as if she could still hear the people scream, as if she could still feel the blood.

That's what it looked like to me at least.

"I killed someone... I don't remember if it was a boy or girl... they tasted just as wonderful as I had imagined! But I did not enjoy the killing, that poor human had so much to live for... I enjoyed eating them, not killing them. I would much rather find a human already dead instead of having to kill my own..." 

She was hiding something back, and I could see it from the way her eyes darted and twitched. Yet I couldn't say anything because I was afraid I would puke if I opened my mouth.

"For two years I ran... finally they found me and took me here..." She shrugged and looked away with nerve, as if she was afraid of my answer.

All I could do was stare.

The sweet, sensitive, kind Bella... Killed someone. 

And innocent human had died because of this gentle, scary, creature.

I couldn't hold back a choke of words as they tried to fight their way out, so I covered my mouth quickly.

Bella's head shot up and she looked worried.

Finally I quickly said, "You haven't killed anyone else right?!"

She jolted at my words and shook her head, her words filled with fear, "N-No! I didn't! I wouldn't!"

"Then why did they continue to chase you?" I asked, unable to keep myself steady.

All my mind could think of was that poor person who could have had a family, someone they loved, someone who loved them.

Suddenly their life is gone.

Because a girl was curious about how someone would taste.

"I-I..." Her hidden words shot out like bullets, "I dug up dead bodies! I smelt them! So tender, some fresh, I had to have some!"

I couldn't hold back another choke and tremble.

Though I continued to hold my shivers.

"Bella..." Is all I could say as I felt tears.

Why did I feel so betrayed by her?

She had to have done something awful to end up here in the first place right?

Why was I so shocked with what happened to her?

What scared me most... was the fact everyone knew that G did something worse...

G did something unmentionable....

No one ever spoke of it, and they spoke of murder, rape, and all sorts of things.

But not what G did.

Sometimes I wondered if they even knew what he had done.

Even after my shock and fear with Bella's story, the curiosity still edged me to try and figure out G's.

Taking a deep breath, I sighed and relaxed.

"I am sorry..." 

Bella shook almost as much as I did, yet I stopped and she couldn't.

My tears fell back and I held my head high with a blank expression, letting Bella cry softly on the stone ground.

At least she didn't do what I did.

Why was hers still so terrible after I had done something similar?

Was it because of my expectation for her?

Whatever it was, I couldn't think about it then.

All I thought about was how I would find out G's secrets.

If I could find out his secrets.

No, When I would find out his secrets.

I would find out his secrets.

Just like I found out Bella's.
