Disclaimer: I do NOT own Lilo and Stitch or their characters. I only own story, plot, and three experiments: Drea, Slyther, and Master

Stitch faced Master with loath on his face, concealing his unusual fear. He stared into the experiment's, no, demon's hateful black eyes. Those pair of eyes that shut out every emotion except for hatred. Hatred for the universe and all the creatures living on it. Stitch clutched his fists, his heart pounding faster with every moment Master stared at him. Stitch knew this experiment was probably stronger than he is, considering what he went through on their first encounter. However, he was not going to let his fear get in the way of protecting Lilo from this monster.

Master smiled, but it was a very strange smile. It was more of a twisted kind of smile, the one that clearly states he is thinking of something bad. He stood still in a cool stance, waiting for Stitch to start talking. His arms crossed over as he leaned back against a palm tree, smiling the same twisted smile all the while. The silence went on for a few minutes before Stitch decided to voice his thoughts.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

Master chuckled. "Just wanted to see how you're doing. It's been ages since I saw you last. How are you?" Stitch didn't reply except for a small growl. Master chuckled again. "Not in a very good mood I see. Have you thought about what you were going to do about your conundrum?"

Stitch glared. "Yes, I have thought about it. I've decided I'm not going to kill Lilo."

"Then we'll do it ourselves." Master replied calmly, but Stitch could hear the slight disgust in his tone.

"Why?" He asked. "Why do you want Lilo dead? She has done nothing wrong to you. You want me dead. Why don't you come after me?"

"If your precious Lilo didn't get involved, then you wouldn't have turned good." Master responded as he started to turn away.

"It's my fault! I'm the disgrace. I never should have let her change me. Why don't you torture me instead!" Stitch screamed.

"I am torturing you. This conundrum is torturing you." Master replied suavely. "It tortures you to even think about what you're going to do and what's going to happen to your darling Lilo. You don't know if you're going to lose her or if you'll have to kill her yourself just to avoid such a painful death. Make up your mind 626, do you want Lilo to die in your hands or mine? You have 18 days to think about it."

"No I don't." Stitch snarled.

With that, he lowered himself in a fighting stance. The anger that swelled up inside him caused his extra alien features to extend. He growled as he leapt at the dark experiment. Master landed with a soft oof. He snarled at the blue experiment above him and flipped so he landed on top.

Stitch was quicker. Once he saw Master's hand reaching for his neck, he clutched his hand into a tight fist and swung it at Master's nose. The experiment went flying thanks to Stitch's power in that punch. Master's loathing eyes narrowed into thin slits as he got up. The pink blood dripped from his nostrils. Stitch waited eagerly for his attack, ready to retaliate.

With lightning speed, Master ran straight up to Stitch who couldn't see anything but a black blur. Before the blue alien could react, Master grasped him by the wrist and swung him around. The world in front of Stitch's eyes spun in front of him faster as Master increased his pace. The spinning gave Stitch a headache, but he didn't have to suffer from it for long as Master released his grip.

Master's power forced Stitch flying into a tree. The experiment groaned as the tickling in his head surged. He tried getting up, but before he could right himself, Master came up from behind. Stitch felt a pair of strong arms grip around his neck. Stitch gasped and flailed his limbs as his air cut off. He tried fighting the experiment off, but it was no use. He could see stars dance before his eyes. He then dug his claws as deep as he could inside Master's arms, causing blood to pour.

The dark experiment screamed as he brought his arm back. He scowled dangerously at Stitch as he brought his hand behind and tugged hard on Stitch's ears. Stitch grimaced but was able to grab hold of Master's strong arms, pick himself up and flip backwards. His feet smashed into Master's head before he supported himself on a tree. Stitch started climbing up the trunk as Master shook his head to get his focus. He started climbing up the truck as well, viciously swiping away at the branches that blocked his way.

Stitch saw him coming and tried to leap to the other tree. However, Master grasped his foot, which had made Stitch lose balance. He fell off the tree and landed hard on the ground. He coughed as his back tingled in a painful sensation. He tried to get his bearings right until he saw Master come in view. He wrapped his hand around Stitch's neck, but the blue experiment intertwined his legs around Master's before tugging. The black experiment lost balance and landed on top of Stitch. Stitch rolled out from underneath him. He lunged on top of him, biting at his shoulder as hard as he could. However, it seemed like Stitch was just nibbling on him for Master didn't do anything for a while. After a few seconds, he reached back and grasped Stitch's face. He clutched hard, causing the blue experiment to whimper.

He jumped off the dark experiment who stayed on the ground, glaring at the blue experiment. Stitch glared back until he felt a sharp pain shoot through his stomach. He then felt like someone punched him on his left cheek. He fell to the ground, wondering if Master was doing this. He then felt as if someone was beating him up. He could feel swift kicks and punches that rained down on his face.

Why won't he stop!

Stitch snapped his head back up. The voice sounded like Lilo. It sounded like she was in danger! He quickly got up, ignoring the pain that rained down on Stitch. The only thing he had on his mind now was Lilo.

He took off, not giving Master any time to realize what had just happened. He took off running, screaming for his beloved Lilo. He then realized he didn't need to scour the entire island. He could find her if he could communicate with her.

Lilo? Can you hear me?

Stitch? Oh, thank god Stitch, I thought you'd never find me.

Where are you?

I'm inside the lighthouse, please hurry.

Are you okay?

He's hurting me. Please, get here as fast as you can please!

I'm coming don't worry.

AHH! Stitch, hurry! He's doing strange things to me. He's lifting my shirt. Oh, please hurry Stitch! I'm scared now.

I'm coming. This bit of information pushed him on. Lilo was in serious danger, he could feel light brushes over his chest and it sure didn't feel right.

He pumped his legs as fast as he could, hoping he would reach her in time. At least she gave him a destination, but he didn't know which part of the lighthouse she was trapped. He didn't know if she was at the top, in any of the rooms between, outside of it or anywhere. There was more than one place she could be.

Once he reached the lighthouse, he barged in. "LILO!" He screamed.

Stitch! I'm at the top! Please hurry! He's starting to… AHH! He's kicking my sides.

Indeed, Stitch could feel a harsh tingling in his sides. His forehead began to perspire in apprehension. He raced up the stairs until he made it to the top. In front of him was Lilo lying on the ground, panting heavily. Her shirt scattered in pieces littered the cool floors. Her shorts were below her waistline, but above her knees. However, it looked as though he got there just in time.

He dashed to her side, placing a hand on her cheek. She turned her own head to face him and smiled. She cuddled closer to him, despite her lack of clothing. Stitch gulped as she rubbed her bare chest against his leg, smiling contently.

"I was so afraid." She whimpered as the tears came. "I thought he was going to kill…"

"Shh." He cooed as he wrapped his arms around her. "It's okay, you're safe now. I won't let anything like that happen to you again. Just don't talk."

She obeyed. He stood then bent down to her legs. He pulled her shorts back up to her waist and did the zipper as well as the button. Her top part he couldn't do much about except cover her up as best as he could. He roped his arms around her now covered waist and lifted her up, cradling her tightly in his arms. Lilo melted against his chest, snuggling deeper to try to hide herself. It was then that he saw a fresh green bruise forming on the middle of her back. His eyes widened when he realized that was the place he felt the tingle when he fell off the tree.

What if she felt my pain? He thought franticly.

That does remind me Stitch. What happened to you today. I was walking along the beach watching Yuki, Teresa, and Elena swim together until I felt dizzy and had a blistering headache. Then I felt as if I was being strangled to death and then I had the feeling that I was falling and this bruise formed on my back. What happened?

Who did this to you?

I can't tell.

Why not?

He threatened he would kill me.

That made Stitch clutch tighter to Lilo as he walked home. Who could've done this to her?

Meanwhile, Angel was carrying the bleeding silver experiment to her house. She had the experiment wrapped around her shoulders with her hands gripping his. As she walked, she couldn't help but notice how soft his hands were. He also looked rather cute. Immediately, she shook her head and brought him upstairs into her house.

She laid him on the couch before retreating to the kitchen. She slid one of her drawers open to pull out a fresh clean rag. She ran it over hot water before crushing it to rid the excess water. She went back into the living room and knelt down next to the silver experiment to begin cleaning up his wounds. She ran the drenched rag over the experiment's gashes, collecting blood along the way. She continued this process until his gashes turned into nothing but a scar.

As she was cleaning him, the experiment started moaning. Angel snapped her head back up to him stretching out his limbs. She put the rag down and stayed next to him as his green eyes opened. Her heart gave out a jolt at how deep his green eyes were. She felt her breathing become erratic as he turned to look at her.

"Who are you?" He demanded.

"Are you okay?" She asked at the same time.

The experiment nodded. "Yes, I'm fine. I just had a fight with my Master and he locked me up. I was able to escape though. However, a big thing came out of nowhere and just slammed right into me! Stupid large creature, I'll tear it apart. Now, I'm going to ask you again. Who are you?"

"I'm Angel. Experiment 624. You?" She replied.

This is 626's ex- girlfriend. Experiment 624. Aw, crap! How in the blitznac am I going to get out of this one! He yelled to himself. I can't really turn back to Master. He'll kill me for escaping or torture me again. Stupid Drea. She always sucks up Master's attention and leaves me for the pain. I guess I'm stuck with this ugly experiment for a VERY long time. Grr! "I'm Slyther. Pre Experiment 700." He replied grouchily.

"So that's what those words meant on your chest." She said.

He glared at her. "You've been checking me out while I was out cold on the street?"

"No! I was just making sure you were still breathing. Do you want any food?" She asked quickly to turn the subject.

Slyther wanted to argue with her more until she mentioned food. His eyes widened for Master never served very much food. It's only for himself and even more for Drea. Probably has a crush on that show off! He faked a smile and nodded politely. "Yes, I would Angel. Thank you."

She smiled then left to the kitchen. He watched her with a disgusted look on his face. Her fur was a rosy pink, a revolting and prissy color to him. Her antennas curved like pigtails and it made him cringe in repulsion. For some odd reason, he had a feeling this experiment was a girly one. He hated girly girls and their so annoying shrieking voices. He was glad her voice was soft, but her pinkish color destroyed all that not to mention she's a nice one. He growled in distaste.

Still though, Master would never know I was here. He will never find me. As long as I stay with this prissy experiment, the longer I'll live.

Meanwhile…

"Where is he!" Master growled as he barged inside Drea's room.

Drea threw her book in the air when Master stormed right in, his eyes lit with fury. " You helped him escape didn't you!"

"Who?" She asked as calmly as she could, but she also heard the slight panic in her tone.

"Slyther!"

"What?"

He reached over to grab her hand and led her down the hallway. Drea tried to even paces with him, but he kept dragging her like a ragged doll. Finally, they reached the chambers and he threw the door open. Drea gasped as she inhaled the bitter scent of Slyther's blood. She looked to the bed to see the ropes worn out and split apart. The board that was usually covering the window appeared to have been ripped off by someone desperate. The window had a huge hole in it with fractures of the glass lay on the floor.

Master turned towards her, his nostrils flared with anger. "You helped him out of here didn't you?"

Drea rapidly shook her head. "I did not! I don't know where he is!"

He bit his lip in frustration. He then pointed to the bed. "Go lay down. I need to vent out my anger."

Drea felt her heart stop beating. She knew the ways Master vents out his anger. She lay down on the bed as the ropes fixed themselves and wrapped firmly around her wrists. For a moment, she cursed herself for making the ropes.

Master came up with the leather switch in his hand. Drea clenched her eyes shut as Master began his technique in venting his anger.

Note: This chapter was very difficult for me to write. I hate to say that the same thing with Lilo being attacked will happen in chapter 13, however, the person doesn't get as far as he did in this one. Now, what do you guys think of a Slyther/Angel pairing? Yes, it will happen and there's nothing you can do to change my mind. For those that wanted the Drea/Slyther pairing, sorry, but there will be very slight romance with them. Besides, I like Angel and I like to include her mostly in the story.
