Underground Orphanage
Werewolf.
Werewolves were monsters who were half wolf, half man. They went extinct with the other monsters when the mountain collapsed on itself. With the monsters being trapped inside the mountain against their will, they died.
Years later after the extinction of monsters, scientists found the skeletons and made machines to bring them back to life using what they knew about magic and dust. One mistake they made was that due to how it was made, every monster was born a baby. To grow up, the scientists took care of them.
Thus, began the orphanage of monsters for research. The ones who are massed produced are sold and used for labor work or killed and eaten like pigs. However, some become pets and live like a cat or dog, loved.
Pant...pant...
However, I was born in a lab like the others. I was the first successful werewolf to be born. I'm fed like a dog and were stuck in cages. All of us. Using orphanage is what they say, but we're treated like zoo animals. Up for show because we seem like animals.
So, I escaped my cage. I left the orphanage and took shelter in a nearby small village. I'm only 13, and I'm starving to death. I do not know how to live in such a world, what to eat and what not to eat. Maybe I should've stayed in that cage.
With that thinking, I went back. I decided that I should stay where I can live. Poorly or not. However, I realized I haven't introduced myself.
My name is Frisk.
Pant. Pant. I pant heavily as I finally was able to enter. It was dark since they shut down very early so they could get some research done. I walk down the cold halls, looking at various monsters, trying to find my cage. However, I pick up a scent. The scent of blood. Mind you, I'm starving.
Rushing toward the scent, I stop when I hear voices of a couple men.
"She's a cutie. It's unfortunate we couldn't find the skeleton for this creature, so we had to make it ourself. But she looks like the real thing, doesn't she?" a man says, finishing his words with a chuckle.
"Why, of course. She was made with the drive for blood, and the smarts to live like the original. It's best we breed her when we make another, so we can start selling her. This'll make us rich, for sure." another man says like he just won a race. He must be extremely confident.
From what I can hear, instead of reviving another monster, they made it themselves because they were unable to retrieve the fossils and dust of the original.
Pathetic.
Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to wait it out. I wanted to see her. I decided to wait in my cage for when the workers leave. Once all of them left, I ventured out to see her. I checked the whole place, nothing.
Well, that is until I check the room itself. There was a huge cell, which made me think she must be humongous. However, that wasn't the case.
I open the cage, still nothing inside. I felt eyes stabbing my back, and as soon as I turned around, something pounced on me. Like a monkey that swung itself onto your back forcefully. I turn around, ready to fight when I felt teeth enter my neck from behind.
Whatever it is, how grasp tells me that it's not letting go. The blood loss made me woozy and I decide to sit down. There was a head next to mine, someone was drinking my blood.
They stop and I was leaned against the wall. I open my eyes to see a feminine figure. "Whose....there...?" I ask, still dizzy from recent events.
"My, my, I must say. You're a cutie. And your blood tastes delicious. However, for a boy, you don't seem very strong. I wasn't holding on that tight, ya know~" she purred, as she went on her knees and leaned close to me. Her face very close to mines.
"I didn't come for harm. I got curious. I managed to escape but I cant survive out there. Us werewolf are pack animals, we thrive in a group. I'm the only one left, so it's impossible. It's best I stay here." I say, closing my eyes as I'm ready to pass out.
"Us vampires are animals that live in a colony. So, we also thrive in groups. That makes us get what we both need." she smirks, though, I don't pay too much mind to it.
"What do you mean by that? And who are you?" I ask, grasping onto the little consciousness I have left.
"You said you found a way to escape, right? Let's escape together and stay together. Since we need another to live." she negotiates. "And my name? My name is Chara, nice to meet you."
There was one last question I wanted to ask before I pass out, "how are you not a baby? Every monster produced is born extremely young...you seem to look and mentally be my age."
"Well, Vampires grow extremely fast. We have a huge growth spurt when born and slow down growth the older we get. That's why a 1-year-old vampire looks 18 and acts that way, and a 1,000-year vampire looks 25 and acts that way. That's how it is." she smiles. That was the last thing I saw before I passed out.
I woke up to a cold room and floor. I sit up to see the little shelter I stayed in when I escaped. How did I get back here? I thought I was gonna stay at the orphanage?
"Rise and shine. Let me show you how to get food above ground." I hear a voice say. I was on high alert, and when I looked over...
It was Chara.
