Jadey97: Sadly true, but it does still offer a glimmer of hope, that she's finally found him.

Episode 5 Part 4

The atmosphere was charged as the others worked on the farm after that. All of them waiting in anticipation and hope. Only Eli wasn't sharing this sentiment, instead stewing in his anger and continually trying to berate the others for needlessly getting their hopes up. He remained certain that this was a waste of time and that Misha was dead. He also continued to avoid helping work on the farm, instead sitting, waiting for Mara to come back, determined to re-establish his control over her. Meanwhile, while their other tensions were still in the air, there was a moment of peace for Katia as she worked. Marko was working with and smiled lightly.

"I believe there is a very good chance they'll find Misha and bring him home." He told her.

Katia nodded. "I know, it's...it's something to hope for, no matter what Eli thinks."

Marko sighed. "Yeah, I'm not the only one troubled by that. A lot of us are starting to question Eli's capability to lead us, especially when compared to Niko."

"Yeah, Niko keeps things fair, and yet still keeps us alive and gives us hope." Katia replied. "You know, I think there might be something between him and Arica too."

They both smiled widely at that and Marko considered.

"Well um...we, I..." He cleared his throat. "Katia, I know this probably seems like a bad time but I just...I think I...feel something for you too and, and..."

Katia froze at that, startled; Marko seemed unable to figure out what else to say, but regardless, Katia couldn't help but feel uncertain. Marko had feelings for her, yet she had so many other things going on she couldn't even begin to think if she felt the same or not.


Meanwhile, a feeling of desperate hope building inside her, Mara braced herself as Niko finally pulled up the car just outside the shack. It was just as Sergei explained and everything seemed to fit. Getting out of the car, they cautiously checked their weapons and began to move towards the building.

"If there is a basement we need to find it." Niko said quietly. "If Misha's there, we free him and get the hell out."

Mara shuddered. "This, this Florian, what if he's…?"

"Then he's a dead man." Roman muttered coldly.

Mara bit her lip at that; yet noted that it seemed oddly out of place for even Roman to act this way, an indicator perhaps of how much he cared about Misha, and hated the monster that had taken him.

"Alright, I don't see anyone, we go in, and be careful, best not to use our guns here." Niko said at last, checking the window by the door.

Nodding they drew their knives and slipped inside.


Misha whimpered and cried as he writhed against his tight hog-tie, trying not to pull the collar around his neck, not wanting to choke. Then came the dreaded footsteps again.

Then Florian's drawl. "Hi cutie, aww, you look adorable."

"MMMMM!" Misha cried into his gag fearfully.

Florian began touching him, running his hands along his body, squeezing Misha's backside, still sore from the spanking.

"Now your fat bubble butt is all mine little baby." He said, dropping the drawl and almost growling.

"MMMMMMMMMMM!"

Misha's eyes widened in horror as he felt his pants being pulled down, unable to control himself he lost control and wet himself, immediately blushing as he realized what he had done.

Florian's taunting resumed. "Awww, wittle baby peed himself, we haven't even started yet…"

But then, before he could do anything else, he made a choking noise, going stiff, a knife thrust through his head. Misha whimpered and struggled as the man was pulled off him. Mara had stepped into the basement the moment Roman thrust his knife into the skull of the man who had taken Misha. The sight of him filled her heart with relief, until she had seen the man pinning him down and pulling his pants off.

When Roman pulled the body of the man off of him, her heart broke at seeing Misha in his current state, tightly bound and gagged, in a way no little boy should ever be. Her sweet baby.

"Misha! Misha oh my god, baby!" She cried, rushing to him, tears and emotions choking her.

Misha reacted to the sound of her voice.. "MMMM!"

He blushed harder and went still, more tears spilling at the humiliation he felt. Mara was overcome with emotion. She scrambled to remove the cleave gag, fingers shaking and her eyes blurry with tears. It was pulled tight and requires a hard tug of her fingers to get it off. Finally however it came off, allowing Misha to push the rag out of his mouth with his tongue, meanwhile, Niko had to restrain Roman, who was viciously attacking Florian's corpses in a fury.

"Roman, Roman, he's dead, alright." He tried to get through to him. "It's over."

Finally Roman did calm down, the two of them instead stepping back, to let Mara have her moment with the boy she had come to love as a son.

Mara was still crying. "Come here baby, let's get all this off you."

She went and unhooked the collar from the wall and unclamped it from his neck, trying not think about how sick all of this was. Trying not to react to the purple mark left on Misha's neck. Misha just cried as he was untied, yet strangely resisted Mara's attempts to help him up. Mara was immediately frightened, wondering what was wrong, afraid the creep may have done something to him after all.

She tried to coax him up, so they could get him out of here.

She spoke gently. "Come on baby, stand up, we're taking you home"

Misha shook his head. "I-I can't, they...everyone will see."

Those words made Mara freeze in terror.

"What, see what baby?" She asked as she gently stroked his hair and face, trying to calm him.

Misha was choking back tears and blushing furiously.

Finally he admitted. "I-I...I peed myself."

Mara quickly looked down to confirm. Sure enough, there was a large wet spot on the front of his Minecraft boxers. Her heart broke and her eyes welled up with more tears, knowing he did this out of fear. The sight of his childish boxers broke her heart all over again, as it further highlighted how young Misha was.

Mara whispered reassuringly. "It's ok baby, I'll cover you, they won't see ok? Now let's stand up and pull your pants back on. You can change when we get home."

Misha, trembling, finally did so, with Mara's help. Mara helped him pull his pants on and then picked him up, letting him wrap himself around her. She kissed him repeatedly and stroked his head, relieved he was safe and in her arms now.

"Shhh, it's ok, it's ok. You're safe now." She told him gently, nodding to the others.

Together they left the hideout, heading back to the car, all relieved Misha was safe. Mara sat in the back with Misha still wrapped around her front. She continued soothing him and kissing his head. She was haunted by the circumstances of his disappearance, but said nothing, knowing now was not the time.


End of chapter, Misha is finally saved, read and review please.
