Grabbed by his hair and forcefully chucked on the bed of the ring masters carriage, he presses his eyes tightly shut, he can feel his clothes being torn from his hunched back. The ring master takes great joy in exploiting the hunchback and making him aware of just who he belongs to. The hunchback cannot fight against him, he learnt that the hard way last time, the last time he refused the ring master he was beaten severely, whips, punches, chains, slaps, kicks you name it. All the hunchback could do, was prey that it be over quickly as he feels the masters hot breath down his neck, panting, feeling his old hand move closer to his backside.

"Remember, no one will love you like I do, no one will touch you like this" The master hisses in his ear, the hunchback scrunches his eyes closed as he feels the mans fingers push into his unlubricated hole and he cries in pain, the ring master clearly enjoying his pain.

This was his punishment for saving Lorelei, the beautiful air acrobat who suffered injuries due to her fall from high, it wasn't just because he saved her though.

*****FLASH BACK****

Lorelei fell, the hunchback ran over to her side, a man dressed in black and a top hat appeared from the audience.

"Previous injuries?"

"She dislocated her should and broke her collar bone some time before that" The hunchback said with a shaky voice.

"W-what do we do?"

"Absolutely nothing I'm afraid I don't have the proper tools to re-set"

He panicked, he looked at Lorelei's bruised collar bone and assessed in his mind what could be done, he saw it.

"Your pocket watch, give it to me" He extended his hand toward to stranger who was about to refuse to give him something so precious.

"GIVE IT TO ME OR SHE DIES!" The hunchback shouted, the stranger reluctantly gave it to him and watched in amazement as the hunchback was to set the bone. After Lorelei started to breathe again and relief swept over everyone, the stranger started, telling the hunchback that he was wasted in the circus and that he was to leave. The hunchback didn't dare look at the man, seeing the face of the ring master who was clearly not amused at all.

*****END OF FASHBACK*******

It was over, the hunchback stilled for a while lying on the bed as the ring master put his clothes back on, the hunchback was aching, hurting both physically and psychologically, he felt the ring masters seed drip out of his bloodied and bruised back side. He got up to get dressed, the ringmaster watching his every sluggish movement. Once the hunchback was dressed, the ring master grabbed his hair and took him outside to one of the empty lions cages, he threw him in there and bolted it shut. The ring master smiled at the hunchback and went back into his carriage.

He almost got used to the cage, no one bothered him in it, he felt like he was invisible, the hunchback was almost asleep when he spotted the stranger fiddling with the lock, he jumped in surprise.

"What are you doing?" The hunchback looked at the man with wide eyes and moved to the where the man was holding onto the cage.

"Breaking the lock, we need to get you out of here"

The hunchback looked at the man and saw his life flash before his eyes, if the ring master saw this he would be severely beaten,

"OI, GET AWAY FROM THERE!"

Too late, the hunchback and the stranger looked to where the shouting was coming from, the ring master had spotted them.

"Come with me or remain here forever"

The hunchback looked at the stranger and nodded.

"OPEN IT"

The lock snapped, the gate flew open, the hunchback ran as fast as he could under the strangers instructions, they ran side by side as they were chased through the circus, dodging fire and knives until they came to the big tent where the horses were performing. They escaped through the sewers in the middle of the ring just as the circus crew showed up.

The ring master threw his hat on the floor and screamed.

The hunchback and the stranger appeared in the street, the hunchback looked back at the circus that seemed so far away.

"I'm not in the circus"

"No your not, follow me"

The hunchback followed the stranger.

The stranger opened the door to his home, it was big and grand and warm, everything that the hunchback had never seen, the place was different, there were books and metal everywhere. The hunchback looked around in awe.

"Make yourself at home, I am going to slip in to something more… comfortable"

The stranger walked in the opposite direction of the hunchback who continued to look around, there were paper upon papers on a desk in the corner of the room, the fire crackling lightly in the background, he touched a strange looking artifact with something inside, then he saw the stranger re-appear with a bowl, a needle and something around his abdomen.

"What is that for?" The hunchback jumped.

"Next order of business"

The stranger began to chase him, the hunchback was cornered by a column. the stranger pushed a bowl towards him and told him to look, he did so curiously then felt the stranger rough hand grab his wrist.

"This may hurt just a bit"

The stranger winked at him, the before the hunchback could respond he was forcefully pushed against a column, his shirt ripped from his back, the hunchback was screaming for him to stop, then he felt a sharp stab in his hump.

"You have an abscess, a fluid pocket has built up around it and gone untreated for 18 years"

It hurt, the hunchback was crying, he was in so much pain.

"Pulling out"

The stranger casually said, as the hunchback felt the needle being removed from his back, he fell to the floor, watching as the stranger threw the bowl filled with puss out the window.

"Thats the easy part"

"EASY PART!"

Before the hunchback could react the stranger began charging at him and shoved him on to he column, bones were cracking and re-aligning. the stranger turned him around so the hunchback was facing the column, the stranger pressed himself against him to keep him in place and placed a back brace on him.

The stranger then twirled him around to look at him, the hunchback was shaking, he was standing upright, the hump on his back was nowhere to be seen and he felt scared. The stranger then looked at him admiring what he had created. He smiled at the hunchback who stared back at him with frightened eyes.

"Now, I think you need a shower"

The stranger held out his hand to the former hunchback, who, with shaking hands, took it, he bent forward feeling strange as he did so, he nearly fell in the stranger who smiled and caught him.

"Careful now"

The former hunchback looked up at him.

"I...I never got y...your name, sir"

The man laughed and looked down at the confused hunchback.

"Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein"

"Victor" The former hunchback smiled a bit.

"Oh and you will be Igor" The stranger said as his snaked an arm around his waste. Igor looked at him in surprise.

"I am Igor?"

"That's right" Igor smiled at the man, who was helping him along to the shower, once they were in the bathroom Victor turned on the hot water. Igor looked around.

"Strip"

Igor's heart stopped, he looked at the man worried, what had he just said? The man who had saved him from a life time of sexual abuse from the ring master and now he was to do the same.

"I…I beg your pa…pardon S…Sir?"

Igor looked down as victor turned to look at him and repeated the words Igor thought he would never her again. Igor closed his eyes, those words ringing in his ear, will he ever be free?
