Chapter 3: Only you.

Harper ran into the hall after Rommie. He wouldn't let herself get into trouble for him. He was nothing. Compared to her, he was dirt. He picked up his pace. He could hear her above him.

"What do you want?" The man asked. Harper shivered. That voice still haunted his dreams.

"You are leaving this ship as of this moment. You will not question me. You will do as I say or you will pay dearly." Rommie said. Harper grabbed hold of the steps and pulled himself up.

"Who do you think you are?" The man asked.

"ROMMIE! Stop!" Harper screamed as he climbed onto the deck. Rommie turned to face him.

"Harper. What are you doing here?"

"I'm taking care of this." He stated as he grabbed her arm. "Now go." he hissed at her. She growled at him and her face twisted in rage. She pulled her arm from him.

"FINE!" She walked away fuming.

He sighed and turned back to the uber.

"Hello, little one." The harsh voice that had haunted his dreams spoke behind him. Harper slowly turned around and was sent back to a time he would rather forget.

Flashback

Seamus heard the door open and the feet that clicked on the floor walking over to the table which held the whip. A tear fell down his cheeks.

"Please. No more." Seamus pleaded.

"Oh Please beg some more. I love to hear that kinda stuff." Seamus cried out as the whip hit his back. "Come on, please beg me more."

"Please,Please,Please Stop. I will do anything." The Uber stopped.

"Anything?"

"Yes, anything. Just please stop." Seamus cried. The man walked in front of him, and smiled.

"I think your time will be a lot fun now."

End Of Flashback

"Why are you here?" Harper pressed him. He pushed the taller uber up against the wall. "I told you that the next time I saw you I would kill you!" Harper said pulling out his pulse pistol. He pushed it under Pryfer's chin.

"I never forgot you." The Uber said. "The way you smelt." He walked his way around to his back. "Tasted." He moved to lick Harper's neck but he danced out of the way. "The way you fought back even if you couldn't get free." He grabbed the gun from him. Harper fought against him but the uber hit him across the face. Harper fell backwards losing his grip on the gun. "I also knew that you would never forget me." He sighed. "You were the best. None of my other slaves where as good as you." Harper growled at him.

"Whatever. Just leave before I shot you." The Uber grinned at him.

"Do you really want me to leave with such a dangerous virse left on board your ship?" He asked Harper. The younger man froze.

"Your lying."

"Do you really want to take that chance?" Harper thought about it for a few moments.

"What if I came with you. Would you promise not to hurt this ship and anyone or anything on it?" The slaver nodded. "Can I have your word on that?" He asked.

"You have my word as a slaver owner." Harper sighed.

"I guess that will have to be good enough."Harper sighed and stumbled to his feet. He opened his arms wide and frowned at him. "Get it over with it." The Uber smiled. "Take me back to you ship and let's go."

"I'm pleased to." He punched him with the gun. Harper stepped back but stayed upright.

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!!!" Tyr screamed as he turned the corner. The Uber didn't reply he just turned and walked over and slammed his gun into Tyr's face. Tyr moved to grab the gun but it was slammed back into his face three more times before he stumbled backwards.

"Nothing is going on. Well, nothing's going on right now." Then he kicked him in the face. Tyr went down hard.

"Tyr?" Harper asked from his fallen position "Are you okay?" There was no reply. Harper turned and glared up at the other man. "What did you do to him?!?" He demanded.

"Nothing that he didn't deserve." The man growled. "He interrupted me and my

play toy." He kicked Tyr. "How dare he." He walked over and grabbed Harper. "You're mine now! No one else's " Harper's eyes widened in shock.

"No! You can't! I belong here now." He tried to get up and run but the Uber had hit him to severely. The room spun as he tried to get up. "Ohhh." He said as he fell back down onto the floor. He felt his forehead. When he pulled his hand away there was blood on it.

"Did you think I was going to let you get away?" Pfyer laughed. "Like I said, you're mine now." With that he grabbed Harper and pulled him up and slammed him into a wall. Harper's vision dimmed then swayed. As he fought back against the tidalwave of darkness he heard his former Master. "Welcome back Seamus. You are home now." Then there was nothing.

"Rommie, please report in." Dylan commanded over the ships P.A.

"On my way to the bridge." She stated back to him. She moved back up to the main corridor. She was still angry at Harper and sending her away. But then she was worried about him. This man...Thing had hurt Harper. He had nearly killed him a number of times. Rommie suddenly felt bad for leaving Harper even if he had told her to. She shook her head. Damn him for doing this to her. She sighed.

"Dylan, I will be a bit longer then I thought. I have to take care of something."

"Understood." Came his reply. She sighed and turned on one foot and walked back to where she left Harper and the newest passenger.

"Harper?" She called when she didn't hear anything around the corner. Someone moaned in response. She broke into a run. She turned and saw Tyr lying on the floor.

"TYR!" She screamed as she ran over to him. She helped him sit up. "Are you okay?" She asked him. He moaned and grabbed his ribs.

"When I get my hands on that fithly little-"

"Where's Harper?" She broke into his train of thought.

"What?" He looked around then growled. "That slave trading bastard must have taken him." He tried to help himself up but failed as his broken ribs screamed in protest.

"Need some help?" She asked. He looked up at her and nodded. She smiled at him and pulled him up with one arm. "There are some good things to being an avatar. " He nodded.

"Main deck." Tyr stated. She shook her head.

"Med Deck."

"But what about-"

"They can come to us." She said cutting him off. He growled.

"If I didn't know you better-"

"Yes, Tyr. Just come along." He sighed.

"Yes, ma'am."

"What are we gonna do with you, Seamus?" Pfyer asked as he chained him up in his ship.

"Let me go?" Harper retorted. The Uber in front of him tsked.

"I thought I had broken you a long time ago." He picked up a whip as another slave entered. "Please, don't tell me we have to start all over again." Harper bit his lip.

"Master?" The new slave asked.

"What, SLAVE?" He demanded. "Do I or do I not look busy?"

"You do Master...But I was just wondering where you want us to go." He growled and turned away from Harper.

"Anywhere! I do not care. Just get away from the Andromeda." He stated then he turned back to Harper. "Now where were we?" He smiled. "Oh, yes. I remember now." He walked around to Harper's back and snapped the whip down. Harper's scream echoed in the small room.

"You will be mine again."

Flashback

Seamus was thrown into a small room. "Remember, the rules." The evil man cracked. "If you want something to eat or drink. You must call out for your master."

Seamus closed his eyes and fought against the tears that threatened to flow down his face.

The man laughed. "I will be bad in a bit." He sighed. "Just remember it will only take one word to get you out of this hole." Seamus pulled his legs up to meet his chin.

"Leave me alone." He demanded. A harsh laugh fell from Pfyer's lips.

"I'll be back...Just remember the word....master...it is your salvation." And with that the door was closed and Seamus was left in the darkness to think about the mess that he had gotten into.

End Of Flashback

Another strike from the whip. "Do you remember your salvation?" Harper closed his eyes. "Do you remember that one word that will stop the pain and help you get better?" Pfyer asked.

"Go away." Harper croaked. "Your filth. You're nothing." He continued

"Shut-UP!!!" Pfyer screamed.

"Can't take the truth can you." Harper said. He spat pointedly forgetting the blood that was mixed in the blood.

"You know nothing about me." The Uber screamed. The whip came down repeatedly. "Nothing." He spat out with each hit. Harper bit the side of his mouth to stop from screaming.

"Child rapist." Harper said once the whipping was done. "Can't stand up to anyone that was as big as you. So, you have to pick on someone half your size." Another strike. "You are and always will be weak!" Harper said.

"SHUT-UP!!!!" Pfyer screamed. Harper grinned.

"Make me you UBER!" He growled and placed the whip down. Harper watched as he grabbed a different object.

"Time to make you plead." He said as he placed the object on Harper's left hand. "Let's see how brave you are now." Then he activated the object and Harper screamed in pain as it began to crush his hand.
