Me: Yeahhhhh, its very similar to 'Piece by Piece' by Lacelottie. But, I'll try to veer this in another direction. So, please R&R and enjoy!

3 days later, Nearing Velder...

"Was it really okay to leave the boy behind?"

Neya looked at the one who spoke and saw Ara, giving her a quiet but a determined look. "What's ok?"

"To leave him with his uncle! Rena said that he look like he was in pain." The Yama Raja said with a sigh of indignation.

The elf looked at the other two, who were talking quietly among themselves. "Of course it is." She looked forward again and pushed away a branch. Even though I shouldn't have left him there...

"You could have just brought him with us! We can protect him!" The blacked-hair girl said as she shot down a wyvern from the sky with her spirit orbs.

"Even if we bring into a midst of a battle, he will be targeted since he is weaker than us." The elf calmly replied as she noticed the tattered insignia of Velder. "He was no condition to fight in us. He has no experience on a weapon what so ever."

"But..."

"No 'buts,' Ara Haan. We will finish this and report it back to Elsword."

Add's POV...

It hurts.

Nothing seems to be healing and freedom was the only thing that I could think of. I could only drift in and out of consciousness, hoping that Master or anyone else would not come and punish me. I could only hope for the best.

Time to time, the same gentle voice would just tell me that it will be alright.

Neya will come...

I don't think she will come back. She probably never will. I curled myself tightly into a ball and the sound of rattling could be heard. Someone came into the room and the sight of Master's son appeared.

He grinned in a disgusting way. "Addd~~. It's time to eat~~."

I sat up and began to back away as he approached menacingly towards me. My back hit a wall and I knew, knew, that my torture started once more in that day.

I looked around my surroundings, trying to look for an escape option but they were none. The other boy stopped in front of me and placed the tray of food besides him. He placed his hands on my mouth and forced it opened with his fingers. I really wanted to bit his fingers off until he begs for mercy.

He leaves one hand on my mouth and lets the other hold a spoonful of slop. The other boy dumps it into my mouth without letting me chew.

After the first 'bite,' he dumps everything into my mouth. With that, I couldn't breathe. He snickers heartlessly at the sight of this and begins to dump more things into my mouth. My body started to hurt and my tears wouldn't stop flowing.

Master's son began to laugh harshly at my suffering and left me there; choking on the food he had fed me with.

At the same time, towards the Entrance of Velder...

Vanessa, the village chief, was running after Neya, who was already exiting the gates. A few of her soldiers had tried to stop her but they were no match for her speed.

During their small meeting, she could the elf's face contort with pain. The light blue haired woman had thought Neya would faint but after a few minutes, she started to run away from her.

"Neya! Where are you going?!" Vanessa screamed as she stopped near the gates.

"Don't try to stop me!" The elf called back to her as she floated onto a tree branch. "I'm getting him back!" She disappeared without a trace.

The chief let out a small sigh and she felt someone's hand on her shoulder. She looked back and saw the former Black Crow mercenary shaking his head.

"Neya... if she is like this, no one can stop her."

"Then... you're not going after her?" Vanessa asked as she looked at him, shocked. "Surely, she would need help..."

"Even if we try to help her, we might become a burden to her," Rena said as she appeared behind Raven. "She wouldn't like that."

Vanessa looked at them both, still shocked from hearing what they had just said. She noticed Ara approaching but she gave the chief a small smile and nothing more.

"Very well..." Vanessa sighed and looked up at the orange sky. Neya... I pray for your safe return!

The Village of Dioces, during the night...

A girl appeared in front of the basement where Add is being kept. She knew someone was in there but her parents, along with her brother, had told her to go there. They repeatedly told her that the person there will give her incurable diseases. But she didn't believe them. All she heard were screams of pain.

She placed her hand on the doorknob and turned it slowly. The girl could hear whimpering from within but she didn't stop. She managed to get the door open and brought forth a small lamp into the room. She could not believe the sight before her eyes.

Somewhere in the middle, there was a boy with dirty, white hair on the floor, lying in a pool of vomit and blood. There were also horrible lacerations on his back along with bruises that decorated over his body. The girl noticed the chains on his neck and wrists. She was thinking about going back to her room but, deep in her heart, she knew she couldn't ignore it.

She immediately rushed to his side and carefully dragged him out of the vomit. The boy cried out in pain and struggled against her grip but she didn't let go.

She dragged him towards a wall and propped him against it. The boy started to move away from her and she could still tell that he was still afraid.

"No more... No more... No more..."He curled into a ball. "No more... No more... No more..."The girl could see his entire body trembling.

She moved closer to him while holding a handkerchief in one hand. The boy began to whimper again and he started to mumble someone's name. The girl gently dap it onto his cheek, which was covered in vomit and some blood.

"I don't know what Papa..." He flinched as she spoke. "Mama and Onii-chan are doing. But I can tell they are hurting you." His pinks eyes widen in fear as she continued to speak. "Right?"

No one spoke but she knew she was correct. Why wouldn't the boy be in this terrible conditions of she could hear him screaming in pain every single day?

"I don't know why they would do this to you. But..."The girl moved closer to him and grabbed a hold of his hands, squeezing them tightly. "You will escape from here. Run far away from my family's grasp. Promise me!"

She was shocked to hear this coming from her mouth. The boy was shocked as well but he nodded slowly. A small voice could heard from within her head. Well said, young one...

The girl stood up and began to walk towards the door. She looked back and saw the boy following her.

"What's ... your name?"

"Rhea." She gave him a reassuring smile. "And you?"

"Add..."

"It's nice to meet you, Add!"The brunette left the white haired boy in wonder as she quietly closed the door behind her.

^.^.^.^.^.^

At the same time...

Neya ran through the forest, pushing herself through the bushes and breaking the branches away. She had to get him back. She didn't care what will happen to her. She needed to get him out of there now.

Neya! The elf stopped as Lupa shouted a warning. They're coming!

She had no time to react as a group of Glitter Demon surrounded her. She quickly looked for somewhere to escape, but, there were none.

"Where do you think you're going, elfy?"A voice growled from within the wave of Demons. "Let's have some fun, shall we?"

The first wave pounced on her but she shouted, "Eruption of Flames!" A wave of fire was seen and it engulfed the first wave. The fire surged onto the rest but they managed to block it with their defenders.

Neya let out an annoyed sigh. "Move! I don't have time to play with you bastards!"She summoned her spear and quickly slashed the air around her. "Cutting Air Slash!"

Some had numerous cuts from this but the waves of Glitter kept on advancing on her. She continued shout spells after spells but there was no end to them. She could only think about a certain boy with white hair.

Add! Wait for me! I'm coming for you!

Replies to the reviews!

Sharkist: Yeah, I can see that this is similar to the other one in a way but I'm glad you are enjoying it! (or rather, breaking your heart. (I'm sorry))

Tsunshun: Similar to what I said to Sharkist but I'm going to veer this in another direction. Neya had to leave Add with that bastard since there are no other towns that are close to the one that they are currently in. If they take him with them, it would only cause him to die since he does not know how to fight. (Is it not?)

Me: This is the last chapter that you all will be getting from me for now. (I got exams this week. So, I won't be typing anymore chapters.)
