A/N- This story is actually gonna expand quite a bit I've got ideas
When Eli woke-up the first thing he felt was the rough concrete under him, one eye opened to a slit, he felt like he'd been hit by a car. Then the memories returned, he jolted up, Blue eyes shooting wide open, gagging as bile shot up his throat. Screaming pain raced through his lower back and he let out a strangled sob, he was shaking as he dragged himself painfully away from the bile covered patch of concrete.
His shirt was torn and offered little protection from the cold stone floor and his trousers where in even worse condition as he curled up in the corner of the room. Where am I? he thought despondently. He laid there staring glassily at the cell bars in-front of him until he cried himself to sleep.
...
(Tad POV)
When Tad walked into the cell block that night to check on his prisoner he found him curled in the back left corner of his cell. There where tear tracks on his cheeks and he was shivering, Tad turned to leave and order someone to clean the cell of bile. As he took the first stair up from the cells he heard whimpering, he paused slightly and his face screwed up briefly at some unpleasant emotion then shook it off and continued up the stairs.
...
Calic waited in the hall for him when he reached the top, he walked past him without so much as a glance. At the end of the hall was a ghouling chamber where a little orange slug struggled and flamed inside his capsule. Piper had managed to take him down fairly quickly with her song when they caught Eli, the little devils rage hadn't subsided since. Piper was waiting next to the capsule in case Burpy actually managed to break it, "hey Pipes" Tad said as he entered. Burpy whipped round growling and Tad suspected he knew exactly where he'd been, question is did he know what happened.
Piper jumped onto Tad's shoulder chirping happily but he didn't speak as he readied a vial of dark water for the Ignitus still trying in vain to escape the capsule. Silence reined as he attached the vial to his blaster, modified of course, Eli's old blaster wasn't made right for ghouling. He loaded Burpy's capsule into the chamber "I'm sorry" he whispered to the slug and fired.

(Trixie POV)
Trixie raced around town on her Mech trying repeatedly to radio in to Eli, she'd lost sight of him in the battle and he hadn't turned up at the end of it. Usually that wouldn't be concerning, their leader was rather independent and sometimes lost track chasing down criminals. However considering recent events his disappearance left a bitter taste in her mouth.
BEEP
Her comm activated and Kord's voice reached her left ear, "Trixie I think I've got his trail, I'm by the north-west tunnel"
"Copy that I'm on my way" She darted through the streets and alleyways at top speed until Kord came into sight, she pulled up and leapt from her Mech. "Here" he said "the tracks" he pointed at the large paw shaped marks in the dust. Pronto cantered up to them, "Follow me" Trixie snapped agitatedly mounting her mech and following the trail as quickly as they could without loosing it, the others did as she said without question.
...
(Eli POV)
Eli gasped through his parched throat, lack of water and the seemingly constant cycle of pain dragging screams and sobs from his already sore throat left even breathing painful. He didn't know how long he'd been here but he'd have to guess at least a few days but not much longer since he wasn't dead from dehydration. He'd been offered water sure but he'd started refusing it after maybe a day, he had no wish to prolong his life in this place. Agony shot up his spine with every movement, if anything Calic's treatment had gotten worse. He felt disgusting, he hoped he'd die and never be found he didn't want his friends to see him like this.
...
(Tad's POV)
It had been nearly three days since they captured Eli, the older teen had started refusing water two days ago if it continued he'd have too consider forcing him to drink. He understood it though, Eli was right, damn it why couldn't he have just stayed away. After Eli's warning at the citadel two weeks ago Calic revealed his true colors.
'Flashback'
Tad watched the retreating raven haired teen until he dived out of sight down the cliff, "Yeah keep runnin' Eli" He chuckled, he didn't see the smile on Calic's face.
As he lay in bed that night the last thing he expected was for Calic to open the door, the older man ran at him pining him under his body. He screamed and kicked but the covers trapped his legs and Calic's weight kept is arms immobilised. Where was Piper? She wasn't here?
"NO PLEASE! DON'T" no one would hear him, they where the only ones in the citadel and Calic knew it. "Please...I'll do anything" he sobbed.
"Suggest an alternative" The man said pausing but still holding him in a vice like grip.
"A what?" the thirteen year old gasped.
"An alternative" the man smiled "messenger boy for example"
'messenger?... wait Eli... but...' Tad trembled in fear staring up at the man and finally saw what Eli could see from the start... the hunger. He swallowed a lump in his throat "I... I'll c-capture him just please" he broke into sobs tears spilling from the corners of his eyes. Calic licked his lips, "Good boy" Calic said standing and walking back to the door "oh... and I do hope you wont be stupid enough to tell anyone about this. Especially your dear, caring big brother." The door closed and Tad curled into himself sobbing silently, "Eli I'm sorry" he whimpered. He didn't sleep that night.
'Present day'
'Death would be a mercy... but I can't let him have it...I'm sorry brother'
...
(Trixie POV)
Trixie paced back and forth in the clearing, they'd lost the trail. "Trixie, maybe he's fine" Kord said.
"No he's not" she snapped then seeing her friends shocked faces took a deep breath. "Calic... is a lot more dangerous than Eli let on" Kord looked at her in concern and Pronto stopped tinkering with whatever it was in his mech's saddle bags. "What would the danger be?" asked the molonoid. Trixie bit the inside of her cheek as she glanced at Pronto then locked eyes with Kord, "Rape".
