His screams made me lean closer and closer to a horrid suicide. What stops me? I looked down at the little three year old wrapped up in a blanket in my bitter arms. If he only knew how little life was, and how much pain it caused. Then again… he is blessed. He doesn't have cruel parents. No, not at all. Teddy shall never suffer the emotional suffering that my Lord and I shared in the past.

"Father! Father! Please!" Sir Cain Yelled from his room as he had the usual…like every other night. I glanced back down at the shut eyes that rests in my lap. What's going to happen to him as he gets older to know about Master Alexis wicked ways? "Riff…!" My love yelled. He knows I can't resist when he calls for me in panic. Oh how I wish I could jump out of this hell, and take him with me. "Ahh!" Lord Cain screamed once again."Riff!!! Please! Help!" I hesitated, should I go? Should I stay? I took in another glance at my sons face. I have to help him. I slowly shifted Teddy onto my bed, and ran out of the room. "Riff! Father…please?!" Lord Cain gasped as the old whipped crashed down onto his bare back. I busted down the door, entering the room. The whip cracked when both masters saw my entrance.

"Riff!" Lord Alexis shouted in disbelief. What was I to do now?

I took a step forward noting my master's reaction.

"Master, I am tired of you treating your son with such harshness! You're the fucking devil, you are sir! I'm sorry, but I'm done taking this!" I yelled, surprising myself at what I had just said to the man who gave me what I have now.

"It's my bloody son! And I shall do as I please!" The cruel man stated through his teeth. He held the whip up high, waiting for my next blink to beat down on the poor man on the floor.

"Alexis, STOP!" I said grasping towards the whip.

"What did you just addressed me as?!" He murmured. His cold eyes were on my face now, and bullets of sweat eased from my forehead. "Why you ungrateful little bitch!" Alexis slammed down the whip onto Lord Cain's back with not even an appearance of mercy written on his face.

"Father!!" Lord Cain shouted. Alexis repeated it again and again.

"Stop this Alexis! I mean it, Damn it!" I shouted over Master Cain's cries. Did he stop? No…

"Ahh!" Lord Cain screamed as tears flooded down his flushed cheeks. He looked up at me, holding out his weak arm to me. I took my eyes off of him, and glared at Alexis. The man smiled at me and held out the whip.

"Riff, I shall give you a choice…you can either take the whip and punish this sinful boy, or you can be punished…" His words replayed again in my head. Lord Alexis held the whip closer to me. "Go on…" I grasped the whip tightly, peering down at my younger master.

"I'm sorry master." I sighed. I slowly walked behind Sir Cain. I held the whip over my head.

"This is what you get you little bitch!" Alexis laughed from behind me. I darted my eyes at him as he kept laughing. I quickly cracked the whip onto Alexis's face, cutting into his skin. He paused in skepticism as blood dripped down his cheek. I did it once more, but this time harder. He tumbled down onto the floor. And as he tried his best to get back up, CRACK! I repeatedly whipped him until his whole body was covered in blood. He crawled closer to me, smearing blood around him, and tried to pull on my thin ankles. CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! His wrist tumbled onto the floor, and just gave up. I threw the whip across the room, and went to help Lord Cain up.

"R-Riff." Master Cain said as he shuddered in my arms.

"Shhh…It's over." I whispered. I allowed the bloody man to rest on the floor as I escorted his son to my room.

I placed his fragile body down on my bed, next to Teddy. I kissed his forehead and whispered, "I love you My Lord…" and rested by the only two people keeping my heart beating and me breathing.
