Longest chapter so far-
Tw: mention of drugging

I awoke to the sound of a metal bucket scaling against the concrete floor of the room. "Wake up mistake! I hear my 'mom' yell. I opened my eyes as the bucked was placed on my lap, looking inside it was full of food.

I felt my stomach growl as I looked at the mix of foods- none of them looking like it was smart to eat, especially with the last food I ate being drugged, and even the drugged food was at least a day ago.

I look up at the food then woman suspiciously, if the last food she gave me was drugged then why wouldn't this be drugged to? And she said she wanted to ruin my life, so why would she give me food instead of starving me-? Unless....- "don't think about this too much," She spat with a bitterness to her voice, "without food you'd die and you'd die by starvation before I could kill you myself." ...and that's why.

I glare up at her before my stomach growls again. The smell of the cold food mush in the metal bucket reaches my nose and my stomach growls again. I look down at the food, it doesn't smell or look appetizing, but it's better than nothing.

I adjusted how the bucket is in my lap before moving my head down into the bucket and eating the mush of food. It didn't taste that bad, or good. It just tasted like nothing, but the odd taste of a potion that was in the last food I had. I know that I can survive without food, I know other colors have before, but without it I'd be weak.

I continued to eat the mush until there was nothing left. The more I ate the worse it tasted. I felt like throwing up, but I just swallowed it down. The bucket fell down onto the floor with a thud agents the concrete. I stared at it for a minute before looking at my 'mom' and seeing the same knife from yesterday, bloody, in her hands. I mentally sign, I should be afraid, anyone else would be afraid, but I'm not, 'here we go again...'
