IO's point of view
"I had always wanted to be free from that place. That Master was so cruel. I barely had a complete consciousness then. He had beat us, even the young ones. I was so scared of him. If we were really bad he would even bring out a whip. He threw me out, literally. The old Master grabbed me and threw me outside." I admitted this all to a stranger that came across me on the ground.
The stranger had another next to him. The girl next to him had short black hair and scarily, kind, red eyes. I flinched away from them while the boy had laughed. "I am the Master of the vocaloid house a few towns from here. Would you like to come to the house? I am much kinder then the other person you had as a Master. Just ask Zeiko here."
I looked up to the girl who was called Zeiko and she nodded her head. I said, "I want to see your back first. I want evidence first. I don't trust people immediately. I'm not stupid either."
The boy laughed and nodded to Zeiko. She had turned around and pulled her shirt up in the back, being careful not to expose the front of herself. Her back was completely smooth, no kind of scars or wounds.
"Wow. You lived a good life. Well compared to some of the others still in that place, I'm in great shape. I still miss my best friend though. She was my Other as Master said. He didn't like that so he beat me the most. Never her. The worse he did to her was call her a whore. She is not one though. Anyway, you'll except a broken, scarred, wounded child into your home?" I asked with true remorse.
"As long as you would end up killing us. You may come. The others will welcome you with open arms." The boy Master helped me up then continued as we walked, "The vocaloid house that I own is for those who are mostly ignored and unknown. You would fit in perfectly."
I looked at the boy Master and said, "My clothing is ripped and torn in the most likely way to make them fall apart. I don't have the money for clothing and I really don't want to have a debt to you so~"
"Don't worry, IO. You just have to sing on your night to sing at the house. Sometimes we have jobs, but you get the money not me or anyone else. That okay?" The boy Master looked at me with an angelic smile.
I smiled down back at him. I had not felt this joyful in my whole life except to take the pain my Other would had gotten. My body really did take to much punishment while I was there. Wow. I never realized that.
"Do you know your Others name? That could help us find her. If not, we can always go back to the place~" I interrupted the boy Master.
"I really don't want to go back there. You can't make me either. I am to strong for you. You may have all your vocaloids, but I have legs and a strong mind." I made myself sound strong.
"No, you don't. There are vocaloids at our house that have harder, better, faster, and stronger legs. You can run longer though. Your lungs are accustom to the air out in the polluted area. When we bring you to the house, you will be able to truthfully breath." Zeiko said making herself known.
"We need to stop somewhere before we go home. Zeiko? Can you get me some nice fabric while I go to the shoes department? I want to have some good clothing for the birthday party and the newbie." The Master said with a little spring in his voice.
Zeiko walked away toward the craft section while I stayed with Master. I looked at him and said, "That is a fake happiness. I can tell you are faking to be happy around your 'friends'. I'm good at detecting lies. It's a specially of mine. It is a real pain on dates, but hey! It's nice to have sometimes."
Master turned his head to look at me slowly. He was surprised and angry, he was giving off invisible waves. I started to think back to my past and I ended up in a fetal position on the ground, shaking, waiting for the first blow.
Master was on the ground next to me instead, saying sorry and crying. I slowly untangled myself from me and got up to a sitting position. I looked at Master and hugged him, part way out of care for him and part way out of my own needs.
"It's okay Master. I was just feeling your anger flowing off of you. It is okay now. I just had this weird moment. I don't need anything. We can go straight home." I said backing away from him.
Zeiko walked on to Master getting up and saying he wanted the fabric and then to go. I nodded my head slightly and looked up to me alone in the isle. The other two walked off. I followed them to the check out then Master called someone to pick them up. The driver was almost just like Zeiko, except the driver was a male.
"Is he your Other, Zeiko? He looks just like you." I said looking to my right. Zeiko's only reaction was a small nod of her head.
All of this went through my mind right after dinner, before the doors of the mansion were opened and a new person waled in. All the ugly parts of my past flooded my mind. I couldn't even stand anymore. I was on my knees in pain. I have my head down, but when the door fully opened, the pain disappeared and the good memories over took the bad ones. The good memories take over.
