I really did not want to say any thing about what happened, but I suppose it had to be told.

"Edward" I said

"What!" he said

"when I start, don't stop me too much because I don't think I will be able to say every thing as these memories are hard for me"

"Okay"

I took a breath and started my tale.

"At first it wasn't too bad, the ship cut smoothly through the seas, but then it got worse, when we had a storm, it was like a savage, primeval force that wrapped around the ship and wouldn't let go"

"I've been through those on dragon back, must have screamed myself hoarse" Edward replied

"Edward! please!" I said

"Right sorry"

"Gradually the storm died and I started to believe that I might survive, we came on an island called Skorghijl, that's where things started to go wrong, that storm delayed us so much that the gales had set in and we would have to wait it out"

"Well that doesn't sound bad"

"It's coming"

I took another breath, a little shaky this time, then continued,

"Now I was ask to do jobs around the place for the crew, which I'd basically done before, but it wasn't until Slagor's ship came to the island, that I was assaulted. At first it was a tough here, a touch there, it wasn't until the crew I came with were past out drunk that he..." I stopped and took a breath that barely reached my lungs, and continued

"That Slagor (breath) that he had sex with me and he wasn't to genital either, and it was not just his crew had their time too, for days afterward I hurt and still he and his crew found ways to find me and use me..., are you alright, you don't look well?"

"No, I'm f...f..fine, keep going" Edward said a shaky whisper

"Okay, two days later from my last assault, we left the harbor and turned north - east for Skandia

and for my days as a slave, but my only thing I did like about this was that Slagor and his men remained behind to fix their boat, I didn't care that Skandia was cold, only that I was sort of free"

"Wow"

"Yeah,anyway later on a man looked me over and said to put me in the yard" I said

"The yard what's that?" Edward asked

"The yard?...yard slaves are required to look after all the outdoor tasks, and they were to be done in the bitter cold, and you couldn't get warm either because the sweat you raised froze on you taking the heat from your body" I replied with a shake from my body like I was still cold.

"Were you given any coverings or a place to sleep?"

"No..., not really we had an old barn that did little to keep out the cold and a thin blanket as well,really the only thing that kept the cold at bay was the drug warmweed, it was while I was under the influence that I was used for more sex by the leaders there"

"What really!"

"Yes, and I think it went on most of the time" I said looking away from Edward, I did not want him to see my tears.

"How do you know?"

"I remember looking up and seeing my captors face and that of his friends and that of his friends and the pain, I don't know how long it went on for just that when I opened up my eyes again Halt was there and he was holding me into him and we were by a warm fire, sometimes I still sleep with him in his bed, too scared to sleep on my own"

"That still doesn't say why you were in the near death state" Edward said a little confused.

"Over the last few months, I've been remembering more and and I wish I didn't, it was then I wished to die" I finished

I heard a noise and turned to see Halt coming out of the trees.

"Oh Will, my son when I found them with you, when I came to save you, also one of them was in you not caring who was there, I had hoped that because of the warmweed, you might have forgotten, but you are too like me to forget something like that" Halt said taking his son in his arms.

"Dad, I..."I replied

"It's alright Will, we will get through this, my son"Halt said pulling me closer

"Together?" I said placing my head on his chest

"Together"Halt answered

An: poor Will, and sorry to anyone who have been assaulted, but at least I ended on a father/son moment for Will and Halt

review please!
