Pitch's Pov

      I let out a groan as a banging on my door woke me from my nightmare filled sleep, "Hello?" I asked as I opened the door, noticing one of the more mindless squids standing in front of me. "The King has requested your presence," he said in an emotionless tone, "alright, just give me-" "now," he growled, then grabbed my arm and tugged me down the hallway, "You know I would have followed you no matter wh-" "Quiet you freak!" he growled once again, I felt a small pang in my chest at the words.

Before all of this I was feared, no one spoke to me this way, now that I've been downgraded to nothing more than a 'babysitter' no one respects me, in their own words, I'm no longer the kings precious little pet. "I brought him as you requested my King," the squid bowed, then left as the king waved him away carelessly. I bowed out of instinct, but hated myself as I forced myself to show him respect.

"Pitch, you've been quite the little annoyance lately," He stated, I flinched slightly at his booming voice, "I- I realize I've been a bit of a hassle lately my King, but I assure you I haven't intentionally been-" "Quiet!" He boomed, making me flinch visibly. "You are right to be fearful of me! You've done nothing but pester me and wreck everything! You were better back when my father was around, it's as if you don't respect me, is that it Pitch? Do you not respect your King?" He asked with venom in his voice, "O-of course I do!" I said in a desperate voice, "Oh? Then please explain your recent disobedience?" he said, "I- I-" my shoulders slacked, "I can't my King, I greatly apologize, and deserve any punishment you deem worthy," I said closing my eyes tightly, 'Sorry Natalie, I wanted to help, but seems like my time is up' "Open your eyes you freak," he boomed, "h-huh?" "Unfortunately my father was right, you're valuable, most of your kind dies within a couple months of being created, thankfully my son won't face this as his immune system was boosted by my blood being placed into his weakened body, but you, you were special, my father saw it in you, your immunity to the pain you inflict on others makes you one of our best soldiers and the perfect candidate to break in a new prisoner," he smirked. I gulped audibly, "break in?" "She's already gone through the change, a few guards found her floating near the cliffs, probably attempting suicide, she was just barely alive when we found her, seems the serum bonds better when it's given to a host near death, but you were the only exception to that," he stated, "so it's a girl? I thought we avoided changing women," I said, suddenly getting a horrible feeling. 

He chuckled, which made me even more nervous, "True, but this is a special case, after all, you can't live forever, so we'll need your genetics to carry on, after-all it seems your loyalties lie with the king you grow around, so your child would be a perfect right-hand for my son and his future son," he said boredom lacing his voice, my heart stopped completely, he wanted me to essentially brainwash this girl into my lover, but I don't even like girls! "Is there a problem Pitch?" He questioned, "w-well- y-you see sir I don't really-" "like women? Oh I know," he said simply, "I could tell from the moment my father told me about the way he used another boy to trap you, but unfortunately you'd need a hybrid male to bear offspring with another man, so you'll just have to get over it long enough for this woman to bear a child from you, now leave, the Queen should be waking up soon, then after she goes to breakfast you are to go and meet the future mother of your child, understood?" "y-yes my king," I said bowing, feeling nauseous. I turned to leave only to be stopped by his voice, "oh and Pitch," "y-yes?" "this lover of yours is the only exception to the girl rule, if you bear a daughter she will be killed immediately, understood?" he asked, I shook internally, but nodded, then left quickly.

Why?! Why do I have to do this?! When I imagined me with a family it involved a little girl and  sweet, loving husband, not a fucking woman who was brainwashed to love me and a son I'll probably never get to see! Why... why is this my life? I felt tears well up in my eyes, as I collapsed outside my door, where no one ever passed unless I was needed, which I rarely was, "why? Why can't I get off easy? Killing me would have been kinder than this," I whimpered, this is the worst moment in my entire forgotten life, why can't something just go right? All I want is someone who actually likes me, that's all, is that to much to ask? Apparently so, why is this- "Pitch?" my breath hitched at that familiar voice, "N-Natalie I-I was ju-just-" she cut me off by hugging me, "don't ever wish for your own death, we'll get out of here, and you'll be with whoever you want," she said tenderly, rubbing my back. "H-how-" "I overheard Squidlox and Derpolis talking about your supposed 'lover,' but don't worry you'll be safe soon, I promise," she affirmed, surprising me with how comforting she was, almost like a mother- oh no.
