Who's the real Monster?

Seeing no sign of disgust brought relief to my soul.

Feeling my empty stomach begin to protest I said "I think now would be the best time to have lunch. Those of you know have dietary restrictions let me and the other cooks know."

Turning around I headed to the kitchen. Hearing everyone follow behind I could tell kept a distance of a few paces behind.

After searching the kitchen I decided to make spaghetti and meat balls. Noticing that all the pasta was gluten free I was thankful to whoever brought this here. Cooking the meatballs separately I made the tomato sauce with fresh ingredients. I learned all of my culinary skills from my Nana.

Once the food was done and ready to be served I said "Everyone who doesn't eat meat come and get the first serving." Seeing that Josh was one of the few who didn't eat meat I raised an eyebrow. He reacted nonchalantly. Taking in his massive size I wondered what he ate to gain and keep the muscle on his body. Josh went out to the patio to eat. After everyone had a serving I got my own.

Looking out at the crowd I saw that almost every table was full. Searching for an empty seat I saw that Eric and Shelly were in their own little world. While Hannah and Rita were catching up. Finding Ed they gave me a nod to sit with him, Matt, and Daveed.

Sitting with all of them I watched and heard everyone have a good time. A few people went for seconds, myself included. Nightmare told me Whatever this is I enjoy eating it.

After an hour or so I saw that everyone finished eating. Even the ones who took their meals outside. Standing all eyes came to me "The floor is open to all questions and suggestions. I promise to be sincere" I said.

Someone raised their hand. I had to keep my tone leveled "You're not in school anyone. Just speak."

They asked "What happened to the guards?"

Keeping my word I told the truth "I killed them aside from Smith?"

"Who's Smith?" someone else asked.

"Smith is a guard who worked in the surveillance area. He's harmless."

"How can you be so sure?"

"I scared him into submission. The mere look of me sends him into shock. You can ask Rita yourself if don't believe me."

Everyone's eyes turned to her. All she could do was nod.

Then their attention went back to me. "Any more questions?"

Someone else asked a question "What do we do now?"

I took a moment to think before responding "Well for starters; we need to make a set of rules that all of us will abide by. I would suggest one rule being all of us respect each other's privacy and autonomy. In other words ask before touching and respect the word 'no'."

Giving everyone a moment to process the idea I didn't see any objections. "Another rule could be all disagreements will be discussed instead of fixed with violence." I thought before adding on "On the special occasion of two people wanting to duke it out. During the fight someone will referee to make sure the fight stays clean and a nurse will be needed in case either one of them passes out. The fight will be a way to get rid of a grudge not make it worse."

With no disagreements I went on "Everyone will help keep this place running in their own way. For example: those who can't cook will clean and so on. The rules are subject to change with unison approval."

Meeting everyone's eyes I waited to hear any objections or remarks. When non were given I continued "All of that aside I suggest that moving forward we should start practicing our abilities to figure out our limits" I said. A few people looked to those of us who were in the Yellow and Solitary Unit. With a heavy sigh I addressed the situation "Friendly reminder, I was in the Yellow Unit." Everyone in the Green Unit either look away or ease into their seat.

"Now I suggest we come up with a new name for this island. To make it our own."
