Freed clung to Laxus's still form, blood oozing from his torn flesh . His tears mixing with blood before coming to rest on the cold ground beneath, as if they were the only two in the world. But apparently the world had it out for their love and decided to end Freed's euphoria. His hair was jerked back and his body dragged out of the room as Laxus body made a thud once more reuniting with the hard factory floor.

Freed's uncle laughed as he pulled Freed from the room all freed could think, ("I didn't get to say goodbye") . He was met with a hard back hand from his uncle. "Shut-up " , Freed's uncle spat the hatred rolling off his tongue like a venom, paralyzing Freed for fear of what now awaits his own life. All he could do was silently pray, "please let it be quick" he flinched as his uncle raised his fist, hitting Freed again, and again. Not stopping until Freed's nose was broken. Fresh blood gushed down his face, the taste of iron reminding him of of that night Laxus rescued him from this monster. He remembered the Love, he had so quickly showed him. Could still feel Laxus's fingers on his sensitive skin. Carefully rubbing the ointment into his bruises.

He smiled, Blood dripping from the corners of his mouth. His blood covered teeth, chattering from trying to hold his laughter in. " what the fucks wrong with you" Freed's uncle shouted, anger evident in his burning brown eyes. He shook Freed violently, as if to entice the younger to give up the very information that eluded him. Freed looked to the still lump in the middle of the room, it's blonde hair barely identifiable. He looked back to his uncle, a new found determination in his eyes. "What's the matter all bark and no bite, You'll only be doing me a favor" , he spat "now go ahead and finish it".

With that Freed's uncle all but dragged him, to his car and proceeded to drive to the next available hide out on his list. Freed locked in the back of the truck , begging for the chance to be back in his lovers strong, arms once more.

After Freed's uncle took him, Aizen moved forward with the next phase in their plan . He tied the unconscious boy back up, and admired his handy work. With that job done, he set out to continue with the plan. He was so sure the police would find Laxus dead, he didn't worry about checking if the blonde was even alive .

Laxus groaned, pain flaring up all over his body. He looked every which way, and couldn't find Freed he panicked. How long had he been asleep it felt like moments but could it have been hours,? Days? He pulled at his bindings, with all the strength he could muster to no avail, his muscles begging him to stop. Laxus screamed for Freed until his voice was hoarse, the pain in his throat unbearable ,adrenaline having had subsided leaving him in a pain he'd never felt but once before, the pain of hearing his mother's murder. He had trouble swallowing , and breathing was becoming harder with each breath his body so readily craved .

Flash BackYoung laxus walked beside his mom, his small hand in hers she held him close. She glanced around several times before continuing, home to find her husband gone. Not even a note left to explain why, she smiled a sad smile, that did not go unnoticed by her small son. "Mama are you okay" She walked to the cabinet to put her groceries up. " yes Laxus I'm fine see" , she smiled wider tickling him mercilessly. His laughter was music to her ears this little boy was her whole world she loved him more than she thought she ever could.

Moments later

BANG ,BANG the door was kicked in. Laxus mother grabbed him and ran towards her room, as quickly as her shaky legs could carry her. She hid him under the bed, in a compartment that her husband didn't even know was there.

The intruder could be heard laughing as he called out " "where oh where can you be,Mrs. Dreyar"

She begged Laxus to keep quiet, but his leg slipped and he bumped the wall of the compartment. " mama I'm scared " he cried " shhhh shh baby its gonna be okay. Just know mama loves you, so so much." she removed her necklace he had given her and placed it around his own neck. "Honey one day your gonna meet some one that you will fall in love with" , pausing she peeked up seeing a shadow coming towards the door the sound of boots permeating the air. "Hurriedly she grabbed his hand honey don't be sad, things happen in life that we can't explain. But I promise you, you will find someone who will love you, and that you will love in return". With tears in her eyes she continued, " and when you do I want you to give them that necklace okay" unsure but nodding anyway " I love you mommy"

Smiling she hugged her baby boy, "I love you to sweet heart" she kissed his fore head, and hugged him, her tears wetting his shirt. She shut the compartment. Her blonde hair down around her face as she ran to hide in the closet.

End flashback

That was the last Laxus could remember of his mother before, he was pulled from under that bed . The cops trying to shield him from seeing his mothers dead corpse.

An anonymous tip was received at the police station, involving one Freed Justine, and one Laxus Dreyar. Freed's mother sat next to her husband ,and Makarov, on the other side. The police informed them that they'd be checking a tip out, and would keep them updated as things moved forward. But not to get to excited it could turn up no leads.

The location was towards the outskirts of town, one lonely little abandoned factory. Paint chipping in spots , and the roof caving in or already gone in other spots. " well Lahar Spoke, if your gonna kidnap two teens for ransom, I could see this placing being a good choice" he spoke his words with precision, like a knife cutting though the air. All officers afraid of what they'd find in there.

The police entered slowly, and carefully, following the halls. Checking every room leaving no stone unturned. Their determination growing, when they found a locked door. Nodding to his men Lahar and Doranbolt stood back as the others busted the door down. What they saw turned even the most seasoned detectives stomach.
