I crave your Touch (049 x 035) (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 5

035's P.O.V (STILL in France)

"Mask?" The doctor said, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Yes d-doctor?" I asked, hoping he didn't notice my stuttering. "Are you okay?" He asked. I simply nodded my head yes. "I... I just need a moment... Alone..." I said before walking out of the room.

I walked through the house and up to my own room. I sat in a lone chair in the room, in silence. I had nothing to say. It was my fault, I let him use it, I should've said something...

Why was I so bothered by a human's death?

It wasn't normal, especially for me. The doctor? Sure, he gets bothered by human's deaths all the time, but me? It was against my nature. I was supposed to be manipulative, fake certain emotions to fool people. If the doctor was bothered by a human's death, I would pretend to be too, I would pretend to want to cry, but now... I want to actually cry. To sob uncontrollably. To just sit in this room and sulk for the rest of my life.

Was it because I disappointed the doctor? Because, instead of me being the indirect death, I was the cause of this poor girl's demise? She could've come back to life, like the rest of the people the doctor has brought back to life. But no... I choose not to stop the doctor despite my gut feeling telling me to...

Normally I wouldn't think so physiologically deep about myself, but I was now. And I was even being pulled from real life. I barely even noticed that an entire arm of my host's had fallen off. I would need a new host soon...

But I didn't want one, I just wanted to sit in that room and waste away like my host. To never see the sun again.

"So, are you just going to let your host decay, or are you going to get a new one?" I heard the doctor say, I slowly looked up to him. He had the kid in his arms and he was rocking it gently. "... I'll get a new one soon..." I stayed quiet for a moment. "... What should we do with the kid?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

The doctor just shrugged. "I was thinking, perhaps we could... Keep him here..." I stared at the doctor, confused. "You can't be serious! We should give that child back to the family!" I responded.

"Why?! What would we tell them?! That their young girl died because we inject powered corrosive liquid into her, and a baby clawed out of her stomach?!"

"No! We could lie, say she came back to life, then she gave birth and died while giving birth!"

"That's...! We can't do that! They deserve to know the truth!"

We were now arguing loudly, trying to figure out what to do with this kid until I said; "We can just leave them at the orphanage!" The doctor sighed loudly. "... Fine."

I never knew what happened to the doctor after that. We left the kid at the orphanage, no note, no nothing. We just dropped them off then left. The day after that, the doctor was silent. He wore a mask, a plague doctor mask, and walked out the door. I never saw him again... Until I found him at the foundation.

(This chapter ended up being sadder then I intended it to be, oh well. I hope you all like it either way!)
