Leonel stiffened when he felt the cold metal press against he back of head. He stared at his father horrified at what was about to happen. He knew about the beast project and how most of them worked. These people were frightening, and terrified him the most in the world. They were only trained to kill, they were never given a chance at a life other than that of killing and being test subjects. It was wrong, yet it happened in the place that Leonel was forced to call home. He always wondered what would happen if he was actually able to talk to these people, and if there was even a sense of humanity left within them. He figured that there was nothing left, if they grew up on being trained to kill and that was all they knew. That's what terrified him the most, knowing that these people were completely human, but they might not even have a sense of what it really meant to be human.

"P-Please, not my son...just let him go. He has nothing to do with the government. He's completely innocent," Leonel's father begged, "Do whatever you want to me, just...leave my son alone."

Leonel stayed as still as he could, tears started to form in his eyes as he realized that at any moment his life could be over. Though, he didn't like what his father was saying either. He didn't want to be thrown out and lose everything he had, he just didn't want to know what that was like. He swallowed down the lump in his throat and found his voice again, "N-no...I'd rather die than be left alone." His voice was shaky and it came out just above a whisper. He had looked his father straight in the eyes as he had said what he just did. His father's face was full of shock and fright about what might happen to him after saying such a thing. "I don't want to be left caged up in that government facility for the rest of my life. If you're going to kill my father, then kill me too," Leonel continued when he saw that slight questioning look in his father's eyes.
