Everybody forgot her. Everybody moved on. It was the one thing that kept the spite stirring within Vee. Ever since Shelly twisted– became one of those monsters, nobody batted an eye.

It was as if she never existed.

It was like nobody cared.

Except for Vee. Perhaps it was anger, remorse for what happened to Shelly, but Vee never forgot about her. Quite the opposite. She was all too aware. In-fact, the garbled noises dragging through the headset she dawned were proof of her existence, a low sigh leaving Vee’s speakers. “Hungry, again?”

All she got was another series of animalistic growls and roars. Vee had just fed Shelly not even a few hours ago. She had been keeping Shelly within the confines of her old room, nobody went to it anyways, not even to clean it up after her supposed disappearance. With yet another quiet sigh, Vee spoke up again. “Alright, alright! Don’t yell like that, you’ll break my headset…”

“What do you want then…?”

…Before long, Vee was dragging a sack to Shelly’s room. She didn’t want to describe what it was inside. She already wanted to forget, not that it was hard for her to. She was a machine after all, she dictated what stayed in her mind and what didn’t. Perhaps that was why it was so easy to take care of Shelly.

With a long, deep inhale, she slowly opened Shelly’s door, preparing to see her beloved… monster. She saw more than that in her, though. She was more than a beast.
