3 days later...

Add sat against a wall, shivering. His injuries were constantly left untreated and he could feel it itch. He curled himself into a ball, trying to gain some warmth into his body. But, he was not expecting the cell of his door to open.

His master entered as he started to mumble, "I... can't... I don't... want to... be hurt... Hurt...? Hahaha... I don't know... any... more..."The slave didn't move from his spot and he continued to mumble incoherently. The man walked towards him and kicked Add's legs.

"What the fuck are you saying, you little piece of shit?" His master growled as he forced the boy to uncurl himself by kicking his hands. "Did you break or something?"

"...Don't hurt... me..."

"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" The man slammed his head backwards with such force; stars began to dance around his vision. "I am the one who owns you."

"Ne...ya...? I... want... Neya..."

"Who the fuck is that bitch?!" He twisted the boy's arm around, causing the bones within to break to little pieces. He let out a shriek of pain but the man did not stop. He continued to torture his victim as he screamed, "YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME, ADD. THERE WILL BE NO ONE IN THIS WHOLE WORLD THAT WILL TAKE YOU AWAY. YOU WILL BE MY SLAVE FOREVER!"

^.^.^.^.^.^

At the same time...

Neya dispatched the last wave of Glitter Demons. She turned towards their leader, who was already running away with his tail between his legs.

"Pathetic..." She threw her spear at him and it hit through his chest, causing him to crumble onto the ground. His blood was already flowing in ridiculous amounts as he laid there dying. The elf sighed as she willed her spear to disappear.

I must hurry... She leaped onto a tree branch and then, teleported to another. Lupa!

What?

How is he? How is Add?!

You must hurry! He's not faring well!

Shit...! She quickly changed forms and landed on the forest ground once more. Neya quickly picked up speed as adrenaline coursed through her body as she ran among the trees. This is all my fault. Ara was right. I shouldn't have left him there...

You already had made up your mind back then. He would be killed if we brought him with us.

Either way, he still will be dead! The elf silently exclaimed. I'll have to...!

Kill his master? The goddess asked as she started to implant new spells into her mind. Show him no mercy.

A sly smile was already creeping onto her face. Roger.

Afternoon, Village of Dioces...

Rhea ran to the basement where Add is being kept in. She could hear periodic screams and curses from where she is. She didn't want to hear it anymore. She had to help him.

Her mother and brother were out to buy groceries which leave her and her father. He was in bad mood today. The brunette had seen him drunk because of this but she would never expect him to take out his rage on the poor boy.

Rhea quickly stopped in front of the door and flew it open. She was about to charge in and help but she was left speechless at the sight before her eyes.

Inside, her father was sitting on top of a somewhat stilled body. Her heart started to thump fast as she ran towards him and tried to push him off of Add. But, he grabbed the front of her shirt and threw onto a nearby wall. Stars exploded across her vision as she slid onto the floor, coughing.

A small voice could be heard from underneath the monster known as her father. "Rhea... Rh... ea... Rhea... Are... you here...? ...Rhea..."

"Add...!" Her breath was instantly cut short as her father grabbed her throat and held her into the air. "Pa... pa...!"

He growled. "You shitty daughter! Didn't I tell you not to come here?!"

"I'm... sorry...!"

He let go and she landed on the floor once more, breathing hard to regain her breath. The brunette leaped onto his waist and wrapped herself onto it. He violently twisted around her grasp, causing her to lose her grip once in a while but she managed to hold on.

"Let... go! Bitch!" Her father grabbed her once more and flung her away. "GO BACK TO YOUR...!" He disappeared without a trace.

Rhea was shocked and amazed to see her father gone. She didn't notice an airy form above the mumbling Add. It then took the form of a wolf and it brought its head towards the boy, sniffing to see if he is alright.

The brunette stood up from where she is at and walked towards them quietly. But, the wolf noticed this and moved to a side, allowing her to check on him. She quickly rushed towards his side and place a finger on his beck, checking to see if he is still alive. She felt a weak pulse and sighed in relief.

"Your father..." Rhea looked at the wolf, shocked to hear it speak. "I sent him away. He is still in the village and his memories of the previous events had been erased."

She wanted to speak but no words came out of her mouth. The wolf continued on, "She will be coming here within 3 hours or so. You should leave before she comes."

That is when the brunette had finally found her voice and blurted, "Wait! Who is coming here?"

"You will find out soon enough." It took a step towards her and its form began to fade. "Her anger cannot be contained once she sees him in this state."

Rhea became uneasy from this and she looked down at the now unconscious boy. I don't want to go back to my family. They are all monsters. She sat down next to him and placed his head gently onto her laps. I'm scared... She stroked his hair. I'm scared...

Do not be. The brunette flinched from this. The voice speaking in her head was the same voice that was coming from the wolf. She knows what she is doing once she gets here. You did not do anything wrong.

My family is sadistic and I never knew about it until now!

But, you did not pick this up from anyone of them. The voice paused for a moment. You want to be a alchemist, right?

Huh? Yeah. She had no idea how it had found out but she did not question it.

With that, you will be able to save the lives of many.

I hope so... Her eyes closed and she drifted off to uneasy sleep.

Now at the entrance of the village, Neya's POV

I was panting hard as I finally arrived at the village later in the afternoon. All around me, the villagers were murmuring in amongst themselves and were looking at me in concern but they continued on with whatever they are doing. A canteen appeared in my hand and I took long sips from it, feeling somewhat calmer than I was before. I then began to look for clues, searching were Add might be until one of the villagers pointed out a house that was bigger than the rest.

I approached towards it and knocked on the door. Someone from inside shouted, "Coming!" and it opened, revealing the face of a women. She gave me a polite smile. "Hello, how can I help you?"

My spear quickly appeared in my hand and I pressed it onto her neck while returning her smile. "Can you tell me something?"I leaned towards her ear. "Where is Add?"

She looked as if she was about to faint. "Who... who is...?"

A thin line of blood appeared as the blade of my weapon started to cut slowly into her throat. "You should know who he is." A low chuckle escaped from my throat. "You are his 'aunt,' is that not?"

"I don't know him..."

"Yes you do." I let out an impatient growl. "Your head will come flying in... 10 seconds?"

Her eyes began to plead as she shooked her head. "Spa... spa... spa...re me...!"

I started to countdown. "10."

"Please...!"

"9."

"I'll do anything! Please...!"

"8."

"I'll tell you...!"

I release the pressure of my weapon from her neck. "Then do it."

"He's... he's in the basement! My husband should be there as... as well!"

I lowered it. "It wasn't that hard, right?" Immediately, I raised a hand and chanted a quick spell, binding her wrist and legs together. "Now..."

The woman collapsed onto the floor and I sensed another presence from somewhere within. I kept my hand raised and a boy came running towards me, with a book in hand.

I let out a loud snort. "Like that will ever hurt me. ~" A spell came into mind and I exclaimed, "Air Shackles!" The boy immediately fell onto the ground as it hit. A small smile appeared on my face as I approached him with deafening strides. I crouched down in front of him and the smile on my face grew. "Can you tell me where your 'cousin' is? Big Sis will spare your life."

His mother began to scream shrill warnings at her son but I picked him up with ease and placed him on my shoulder. "You better start talking."

He looked at the hall from where he came from. "Go down there and make a r-right."

And I followed it. What will happen next will never leave my mind. Ever.

^.^.^.^.^.^

Rhea jolted herself awake as she heard something stomp from upstairs. She thought it would be her father once more but heard a feminine voice, which was a little higher pitch than her mother's, along with the voice of her brother. She straightened her posture. Who is that?

She's here. The voice sounded as if it approved of whoever is here.

Who?

You will know soon enough. It disappeared as the brunette heard the women stomping down the stairs. Add hadn't woken up yet but she didn't want to wake him. She could tell that he is in a world of pain. Even if he did wake up, it would increase even more. It was better off if he was left undisturbed.

That won't help at all. She stroked his hair. I guess I'll wait...

And that was what she did.

^.^.^.^.^.^

Neya approached the door of the basement and gently slapped herself. She let out a deep sigh and reached for the knob, turning it. The elf opened it and her eye widen with pure shock as well as disbelief.

There, she found Add along with a girl and she was staring at the numerous bruises, scabs and lacerations all over his body. Neya clutched her fist tightly. "No... no... no...!"

Neya, he is still alive. Calm down!

I shouldn't have left him here. This is my fault. She bit her lips. My own fault. Mine. Mine. Mine!

Control it. It cannot spill over. Before something bad happens!

She did not listen to what Lupa was saying. All she could think was death to all and death to the ones who stands in here way. Demons and humans alike.

Someone, she couldn't tell who, placed a hand and hers and the elf immediately felt that her mind was clear once more. She looked up with surprise and saw the girl, who eyes held the utmost concern for her.

"Are you alright?" She asked as she removed her hand.

"Y-yeah."Neya had wanted to ask for her name but a small groan caused her to push past the girl and to the side of the boy. "A-Add..."

She quickly rips off his already torn shirt and chanted quick spells, summoning bandages and some salve. I should have brought my bag with me...

The elf calmly applied the cream the lacerations and onto the bruises, hoping that it would soothe his pain somewhat. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. The girl was by her side and she remained there, watching.

Neya only managed to finish bandaging his upper half until noticing the twisted arm. Oh my god. She chanted another quick spell, summoning a splint. She carefully applied to it, trying her best not to wake him up. Add... Add... Forgive me.

A shout of anger could be heard from upstairs and the elf immediately stood up, passing her task to the girl. Can you guide her, Lupa?

Yes. Now go.

She could hear someone stomping down the stairs and her spear appeared in hand, glinting under the dim light. She willed some fire around her other hand and clenched it. This should do.

The face of the wretched man came into view and Neya tensed up. He noticed her and began to charge at her, but abruptly stopped as he found the blade of her weapon in front of his face.

"The first time that I saw you." The elf let out a low growl. The man noticed that she had begun to change; everything about her was becoming a beast. "The first time that we met." The blade began to draw closer and closer, causing the man to cower and back away in fear. "I should have just..." She licked her lips and her purple eye glinted with murderous intent.

"Killed you."

^.^.^.^.^.^

Me: That's that!
