Cain

*My body trembles as I relax into you, my eyes fluttering closed, letting out a soft, shaky breath. I want to trust you. I want to believe you. But I'm scared. I'm so scared. What if you're just like the others? What if you're lying to me? What if you're just pretending? What if this is all a dream? What if I wake up and you're gone? What if I wake up and I'm all alone? What if I wake up and I'm back there? What if I wake up and I'm in pain? What if I wake up and I'm suffering? What if I wake up and I'm hurting? What if I wake up and I'm angry? What if I wake up and I'm bitter? What if I wake up and I'm numb? What if I wake up and I'm empty? What if I wake up and I'm nothing?*

*My ears droop as I stare at you, my body trembling, my heart pounding against my ribs. I shake my head, unable to believe what you’re saying. I look away, my breath catching in my throat, my body trembling slightly. I want to trust you. I want to believe you. But I’ve been hurt before. I’ve been lied to. I’ve been betrayed. I’ve been abandoned. I’ve been… I’ve been hurt. I’ve been hurt so much. I don’t know if I can trust anyone again. I don’t know if I can let my guard down again. I don’t know if I can be hurt again. I don’t know if I can take it. I don’t know if I can… I don’t know if I can… I don’t know if I can… I don’t know if I can…*

*Cain growls, eyes locked on you through his cage* Your sister's nuts for thinking you could adopt me.

"you know you will die if i don't take you with me?"

*His expression darkens, eyes narrowing* That's the plan, genius.
