Down an unknown roadTo embrace my fateThough that road may wanderIt will lead me to youAnd a thousand yearsWould be worth the waitIt might take a lifetimeBut somehow I'll see it through

Disney's 'I can go the distance'

Chapter 7

Jovian twisted in his bounds, his wrist chaffed against the rough rope, his heart felt like it was going to jump from his chest. He was scared, why was this happening, he never did anything wrong! He could feel the light whimper that fell from his quivering lips, he wanted to cry out, call out for help, he couldn't his voice wasn't working, he wanted Thomas, he wanted to feel safe, he felt safe with Thomas more then he had with any other being. He flinched, something cold was running across his abdomen. His scared green eyes looked towards what it was. He wanted to scream. Dark eyes stared up at him, so dark, so evil, the thing held a knife. The thing lifted up the knife it glinted in the small amount of light, and gravity pulled it, it came down, a searing pain ripped through his stomach, and finally he cried out, his cry's resounded around the room, un-heard beyond the rooms confines.

Jovian sat up, his breathing harsh, his pale hand clutched the fabric of his sweat soaked t-shirt, his free hand went up and threaded into the sticky strands of his hair. He breathed deep.

What was that about? He didn't know, and he really didn't want to find out, he could still feel the fear that was coursing through his veins, he didn't want to feel that. Never.

The light sound of rain hitting glass entered his ears, his eye tilted till he was looking at the window, it was raining, and it hardly rained in Texas. He felt horrible, he just wanted to curl up and go back to sleep, he couldn't, he was scared. He wanted reassurance that everything was ok, that nothing bad was going to happen, but he never got any; there was no one to give it. His eyes looked from the window to the clock, 10:30am, it was late everyone was gone, even Thomas, he was alone in this large house that seemed to have the shadows that were festering on his fears. Deep breath. Calm down, everything is fine. He wanted to believe himself, but he couldn't something was telling him not too.

He slowly climbed from the bed; he winced when his weight made the floor board creak. He shivered the place was cold, he felt really alone in this moment then any other.

He left his room hugging himself trying to make a type of false security to calm down, he hadn't felt this scared in a long time, and he hadn't had a nightmare in along time. He felt like a little boy again crying out in the middle of the night for his mother, but in the end it was fruitless his mother never did come. His movements through the halls were slowly his eyes darting everywhere. A silent mantra whispered through the deep fog in his mind.

'its ok, everything's fine, there is nothing to be scared of, nothing is going to hurt you, just calm down and breath, Mai should be back soon, and Thomas too. Just calm down for a while longer.'

He tried he really did, but he knew there was things that wanted to hurt him. Goosebumps ran up his arms and through his entire body. He shivered. The stairs creaked beneath his feet, he was okay, he knew he was okay, nothing was wrong. To bad he was wrong.

Riley smirked within the shadows of the next room, his eyes trialed the small moving form of his prey. Soon, very soon he would have that boy beneath him screaming from all the pain he was causing. He was getting excited just thinking about it. He looked from the corner of his eye, Hoyt had a sinister smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to be alight, he couldn't wait either, good.

------

Jovian looked at the hall that lead to the kitchen, the smaller rooms before that were dark. A small shiver ran through his body, he was hungry, to him the kitchen looked so far away then it actually did. He mentally slapped himself, he was being ridiculous being so scared like this, NO-ONE was in the house! Jovian closed his eyes and took several deep breaths, before his tense muscles calmed and the fear was locked away in a mental chest, his eyes opened, he gave a faint smile, the kitchen didn't look so faraway anymore. Sure he still felt the fear, but it wasn't as heavy like a few minutes ago, in fact it felt like it was just a speck, like a star in the sky so far from his grasp. With a determined step he started towards the kitchen to make himself some lunch.

------

Riley smirked; he motioned for Hoyt to move as soon as Jovian walked past the room. He almost moaned from the look on Jovian's face when he was grabbed from behind.

Jovian tensed when he felt arms wrap around him immobilizing him from moving. He could smell the scent of sweat and tobacco, Hoyt. His eyes widened when the very man that held his nightmares under siege came from the shadowed room, his eyes dark, filled with evil that made him shiver. He was afraid, terrified even. He wanted to puke when he felt the wet slickness of a tongue on his neck. He felt the cool fingers on his face, his eyes glared up at Riley. Riley smirk, the fire was coming into the boy's eyes, the fear was leaving, and the need for survival was taking over.

"We're going to have so much fun together, right Hoyt" said Riley, there was a deep rumble of a chuckle next to Jovian's ear, his skin was crawling with disgust, he knew what he meant by fun, and he didn't want any part of it, it would break him permanently this time, he was sure of it, and it he didn't want to be broken not so soon, and not by these two sick bastards. Riley bent down and captured Jovian's lips in a very demanding kiss, Jovian's eyes narrowed, he pulled the lip between his lips, electing a moan from Riley, he could have smirked, he lifted his leg up behind him, he could feel it crawl along the sheriffs leg, a grunt next to his ear. Hoyt could feel the electricity traveling to his nether regions. Who said you had to play fair in trying to get away. Jovian bit the lip and swiftly kicked Hoyt between the legs. He felt Hoyts arms slacken around him; he could taste the light copper of blood.

"Fuck!" said Riley as he pulled away tabbing at his lip. Hoyt gave a grunt, when Jovian elbowed him and pushed him away, Jovian ran for the door. Jovian Griped the cool metal of the door knob, before something slammed into him, his face knocked into the wood. He hissed as pain centered on is nose.

"Wrong move boy" said Hoyt as he whispered into Jovian's ear, the kid was going to get it, one hand gripped the boys long hair, he twisted, and intake of breath. He smiled. He grabbed him and pushed him away from the door. Jovian came into contact with the floor, his face and head ached and now his arm, he was sure he was going to bruise. He let a small whimper past his lips. He could feel a hand thread through his hair and with a sharp tug he was staring into the eyes of Riley, his lip was bleeding leaving a trail down his chin. Jovian for a moment felt almost proud.

"NEVER. Do that again" hissed Riley, Jovian could feel the light sting of tears coming, Riley gave another sharp tugged at his hair. "Hoyt grab him and take him upstairs." Hoyt smiled, and stepped forward, grabbed the kid by the hair and dragged him upstairs.

"Let go!" said Jovian grabbing at the hand on his hair, tears were streaming down his face from the pair, he struggled against his holder. Riley watched as Jovian struggled a gleam in his eyes.

"Stop it! Let me go!"

It was no use, no mattered how hard Jovian struggled they wouldn't let go, Hoyt through the boy on the bed, and straddled his hips. Jovian almost sighed from the release of his hair. Jovian tensed when he felt little Hoyt against his leg, his eyes widened and his heart speed up in panic. He kicked out, he heard a grunt then he felt hands on his neck, he gasped when his oxygen supply was slowly leaving him. He clawed at the hands around his neck. He could barely see, dark spots were taking over his vision, he was feeling light headed; he felt soft hands, something in the back of his mind registered them belonging to Riley, grabbing his hand and tie it tightly against something wooden, and then his other hand.

"Hoyt stop before you kill him, can't have fun when he's dead" came the sultry voice of Riley, Hoyt released the pressure, almost disappointed, he wasn't sure about what riley said about having no fun if he was dead, Hoyt knew he would have fun, but no point in arguing. Jovian gasped for breath. Jovian blinked the spots from his eyes. Hoyt got up off the boy and stood next to Riley. Riley looked at Jovian lustfully, he had almost forgotten, how desirable Jovian looked strapped down and sprawled like that, with tears staining his cheeks.

Jovian breathed heavily as his emerald eyes locked onto the two men that were going to make his nightmare come true, they made him feel a fear he hadn't felt in so long, and he hated them all the more for it. His eyes flickered from them darting between his tied wrists; he gave a sharp tug, the bed rattled. Riley and Hoyt had the largest sinister smirks on their faces as they watched Jovian struggle, you could see the excitement it was having on them, to them watching something like this had an effect on both of them. (A/N: They must have a weird taste for dominatrix) There was a weird wheezy type laugh that stopped Jovian's struggle it was hard on the ears. It was Hoyt.

"Stop struggling boy, you won't be getting outta those for a while" he said with a large grin on his face. Jovian stopped moving, his mind ran with possibilities of what was to come, and none of them were very appealing in the slightest. He just hopped someone came home, before they could do any lasting harm, he preyed Thomas would get home; he didn't think May had the strength to take on these guys. He threw out a silent prayer; hopefully god was feeling generous this day. Jovian flinched when his eyes locked with Riley's he saw the promise for pain, it made his eyes dark and cloudy, his eyes flickered to Hoyt, and mentally cringed, this guy was sicker then Riley he just had a feeling about him, that wasn't good.

Riley ran his sight up and down Jovian drinking in the site; he could feel the stirring in his loins. He gave a low growl and grabbed onto Hoyt and dragged him to himself, and forcibly captured his lips. He smirked when it was reciprocated. He broke away and gazed into the lust and crazed eyes, yes very pretty. His gaze flickered to Jovian, his smirk grew, Jovian was wide eyes, and disgust clearly showed in his eyes, not the fact that they were gay, cause then he would have to hate himself but because well it was them doing that. That would be one of the many things to haunt him for the rest of his life.

"Hoyte, its time to get started, strip him" Riley said huskily, his tongue trailed across his lips. Hoyt stepped away and crawled along Jovian, Jovian cringed he wanted to whimper when his shirt was tossed and the wrinkled hand ran down his chest, the path it trailed to his pants burned like a fire from the farthest parts of hell. Riley walked towards the side dresser and withdrew a wicked dagger, his eyes glittered in excitement. Jovian's eyes drifted away from the man who was so close to his crotch, Jovian's eyes seemed to widen a fraction as it layed on the dagger. His man could only scream SHIT! A shudder raced through his body as it was exposed to the cold air in the room, he cringed and whimpered, he was exposed to both of these bastards, and he couldn't do a thing, it was one of those times he wishes he had died in that fire, instead of left with the scars from it. He could feel the tears coming again.

"Aww, why are you crying babe, we're not going to hurt you………much" cooed Riley. Hoyt for once in his life was being abnormally quiet, but you could tell he was enjoying this just as much as riley, if the smile on his face and the bulge in his pants were any indication. Hoyt was still stationed at his crotch and it didn't help any that his hand twitched as he stared at it, Hoyts hand on his thigh tightened, Jovian hissed, that's gonna bruise. Riley layed next to Jovian on his side, his head was propped up with his left hand, with his right he pressed the dagger against Jovian's heated skin, Jovian closed his eyes for a second, it was cold, very cold. Jovian's face scrunched up when he felt the dagger slide up his side.

"You know, wouldn't be great if we evened you out, you know give the parts of you body that ain't scared scars. " said Riley his eyes transfixed on the gleaming steel as it ran up smooth skin.

"The boys cute like this, all quiet and shit" said Hoyt his hand made trails along his leg, down his thigh, and back to his hip. Jovian in all his years never felt this violated, well once, when he was dating the filth to his right. Riley gave a smile, Jovian swallowed when he felt the blade press slightly into his neck, it stung, and he knew the skin had broke.

"You look beautiful when the blood runs across your skin." Jovian felt hot breath against his neck and the wetness that ran across the cut, he hissed in pain, he moved away. His eyes closed, maybe if he didn't see anything, none of this was real, how he begged this wasn't real.

"Aw, why do you run from my touch, Jovian don't you love me" he could here the fake sadness, it was thick in his voice, he couldn't believe he once loved this man, but no one ever said life was fair, he was just one of those un-lucky people who had lady luck for an enemy. Jovian shook his head to Riley's questioned, no he didn't love this man, maybe once, but now he despised this man with his life, he was a monster in human skin. His eyes snapped open, and he gave a small cry, his cheek stung. Riley huffed in anger, how dare he say no, how dare he shake his head in negativity. How dare he!
