(Inspired by the scene where the lady catches Seven. So, yeah. That's it lol.)

(Hope you enjoy this little oneshot. 😄)

This...this child knows.

Deep dark inside the Maw, the lady stands vigilant.

She'd received a visitor deep down inside her very own quarters. Admitting to herself, she's impressed by the results.

The little boy who ran, somehow out-smarted the shadow kids. The lady's own creations.

She's truly impressed.

Too bad the child is against her than working with the other children. He'd make a good candidate amongst the other shadow, maybe even topping the ranks.

Unfortunately, the Lady cannot achieve such a sudden fantasy. The realities settle faster than the blinking lights of the eyes.

The Maw rules All.

The Lady is apart of the Maw, it's host. The one who watches whilst the Maw handles other duties. The mask shows The Lady use as a one time puppet.

Example, The Granny down below.

When the usefulness runs out, she'll be cast down, replaced by someone more suitable, more younger.

More useful.

Even The Maw cannot hold immorality, but it stops the ageing process ever so slowly. The Lady lives longer than the average human.

She'll cherish every single second of life.

The Lady's purpose is presented. And she will live her purpose, no more wishing for useless things.

Such as freedom and death.

Death's a relief. The Signal's don't allow relief.

"Hgnahhh.."

The child's in front of The Lady squirming catches the attention solely on him once more. The little boy seems to be wanting freedom.

The Lady doesn't allow a useless thing.

Instead, she smiles. The little critters scatter in fright. She smiled as a plan forms.

She won't have to kill the child, she'd merely make him suffer. Expose him to the everyday children went through in a different body.

The shadows obey the silent command, surrounding the child in darkness. He screams silently, the spell suffocating his life, tearing his soul apart.

The Lady's true form shall still be secret.

Placing the boy on the ground, The Lady is content. She stands in the darkness, a wistful smile visible.

The Lady's is aware of another little Child.

The death of one nome shall be by the girl in the yellow raincoat. The Lady takes joy in the noise.

"Fweeeeeehhhhhhh."

The Boy no longer talks, only grunts as a creature.

His fate shall be his own undoing.

The Lady shall keep a secret hidden. Serve the ones up above, be useful. Not cast away just yet.

No matter the cost.

***

The nome wonders.

It studies its new found body. Once a human, now a little, itty bitty, critter. It met others like itself once.

It's memories fade as it walks.

Eventually, the nomes reaches a room. A sausage is in the middle. It hears something else.

"Hgnaaahh..."

A grunt of pain, a little girl in a yellow raincoat clutching the base of the stomach. It starts to help.

The nomes picks up the sausage.

The nomes offers to help. It likes to keep others safe.

It chitters it's last unknowing phrase.

"Ffweeeeeeeeeehhhhhh."
