cw kidnapping, assault

muffled talking, footsteps on dry grass, cracking twigs and crunching leaves. a door creaking.

“ahh there it is, my little prize. you were a tricky toy to nab, but you know i live for the chase. do you have a name? do Dolls have names? ... well?”

a thud. pain. a buried scream. then... a soft chuckle and the sound of an open palm slap, but... no pain?

“ah. silly me, i completely forgot.”

white. everything is white. white light, white noise, white... skin. this one's skin. cold, white, porcelain.

but there's a taste... cloth? blood?

“don't move.”

shapes are starting to coalesce into shadowy forms as this one's eyes adjust to the sudden crashing flood of light rushing in. it's... someone.

a sharp pain as something is yanked free from the Doll's mouth

“there. now answer: do Dolls have names?”

”...”

a thud, a no longer gagged scream, and pain.

“th-they do! we do...”

... that's an unpleasant laugh.

“and do you have a name?”

“this one...”

“speak.”

“this one does, but it doesn't know what it is.”
