When she awoke, Hiro was confused.

She couldn't remember what happened, or how she ended up in a cage. Her eyes widen when she remembered feeling a strange presence in her room and then waking up here.

She sat up quickly and looked around. Her eyes scanned the room she was in, and her lips parted in a mixture of awe and horror. Covering the walls and the entire room, were doll parts. Hanging on sections of the walls, looked to be humans whose limbs were tied together. Her eyes widen when she makes eye contact with golden brown ones.

"Beautiful, aren't they?" His face was void of emotion but you could hear the glee in his voice. "My puppets are my creation, made from human flesh."

Hiro opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out. It was like she was frozen, and her voice box wasn't working. Her heart thumped loudly in her chest as her stomach crawled up in her throat. She was confused, and terrified. This stranger, he took her from her home. Now, she was going to become one of his... toys?

He walked towards the cage with agonizing slow steps. Her breathing was cut short when he bent down to peer into her eyes. She felt an urge to come closer, and could no longer control her movements. It was like her limbs had a mind of their own.

"Aren't you afraid?" He asked tilting his head. She gulped loudly and looked into his eyes.

"I'm terrified." She swallowed her fear, but couldn't help the shaking of her limbs. He blinked before suddenly, she was sitting on the bed.

"I've watched you, and I know what happened to your parents. I know you feel angry, and you feel pain. What if I told you, you could get rid of it all? You wouldn't have to feel anything anymore. You'll never be scared of anyone, and you can live forever."

His words burned through her mind as she contemplated on if he was completely insane, or just bluntly truthful.

"And if I say yes?" She didn't know where the sudden courage came from, or maybe it was the adrenaline kicking in. Either way, she was thankful for it. He smirked.

"Well, you would become my puppet. You would stay here with me, forever. And you would do whatever I asked of you. In return, I grant you eternal life. Where you'll never worry about aging, or dying. You will be stronger, and can take your revenge on whoever decides to mock you. You can take revenge on you parents and not feel an ounce of regret."

His voice was whispering in her ear. And suddenly, she felt her mind go slack.

She knew she could never go back; that place was no longer her home, nor her village. Even if she got out of here alive, where would she go? She has nobody. And if she says no, she will die anyways or be forced to go through with it. Her mind was made up.

She looked into the cold eyes of the puppeteer who was staring into her soul. She felt as if she was naked, and he was staring at her exposed body. He could see right through her. He had the eyes of a predator zoning in on its prey.

"Turn me into a puppet, master."

And so, he became the puppet master and she became the puppet controlled by his strings.
