As Spock regained consciousness, he noticed a dryness in his mouth. He realized that there was a cloth gagging him and keeping him from speaking. Next, he noticed the hardness of stone under his back. His arms and shoulders were being held down by two pairs of hands. Spock opened his eyes, alarm making his stomach drop. Above him, smirking, was Sepek. That meant that Sofek and Stark were the ones holding him down. Fear was trying tingle its way up his spine, but he quickly quashed it. Nothing like this had ever happened between them. Their bullying was mostly verbal and had only escalated to violence a handful of times. He had no idea what was about to happen, but he knew that it wasn't good.

"You think you are better than the rest of us. Joining Starfleet does not make up for your whore of a mother being human." Spock grunted and began to struggle against the hands of the other two. "You are scum. Nothing. And, those humans you work with will realize that soon enough. I will make sure of that." From behind him, Sepek pulled out a knife from the back of his pants. Spock's eyes widened incrementally. He didn't want to give Sepek the gratification of giving him an emoltional response. Sepek took the knife, glinting in the reflection of the moon, used it to cut Spock's pants, starting at the bottom of one leg and slowly sliding up. Spock started kicking his feet and attempting to yell at the other. Sepek just raised up over Spock, backhanding him across the face. While Spock was disoriented, Sepek finished with his pants. He didn't stop until there was nothing between himself and what he wanted.

Spock's mind began racing. No, this couldn't be happening. Out of everything that he thought would ever happen to him, this was never one. He felt tears prick the back of his eyes at the futility of the situation. His chest heaved with his heavy breathing as his mind yearned for his t'hy'lara. He never should have left them. He was safe in their arms, but now, something was about to be taken against his will that he would never get back. Sepek moved above him, having undone his own pants as he had been lost in his thoughts. Fear gripped Spock as Sepek moved into position and, without warning or hesitation, he shoved forward. Spock arched up and screamed through the gag. He felt as if he were being ripped apart at the seams. The tears that he had kept from falling before now ran freely down his face. There was nothing gentle about this. It was clinical and brutal. The pace that Sepek set violently jarred Spock with each trust. He could feel the blood as he was being split from the inside. His shirt had ridden up and his back was being rubbed and cut on the rough stone under him. Spock could feel Sepek's warm, wet breath on his face as he grunted and groaned obscenely. Spock wasn't even aware when it was over. He had retreated so far into his own mind that it was forever before he returned to the present. He was alone now. His body hurt all over. There was nothing he could do to stop that pain or the emotional pain he was feeling at the moment. Spock rolled onto his side and curled up. He began sobbing when he thought of new relationship he had just formed with the two most wonderful beings in the universe. What would they think now? They would hate him. He was dirty, used. They were perfect and would surely see through to his tarnished soul. Spock whimpered slightly as he attempted to raise himself off of the ground. He sniffed and wiped his eyes, searching the ground for his mangled pants. He wrapped what was left of them around himself and limped home.

Once Spock entered his father's house, as quietly as possible, he made his way to the guestroom that wasn't in use. When he walked past the room where Jim and Leo slept, he paused for a moment and just listened to them breathe. Spock hiccuped as more tears began rushing down his face. Covering his mouth with his hand, Spock walked into the other room and straight into the bathroom. He ran a bath as quietly as possible. The water was scalding hot and turned his skin a bright green as he lowered himself into it. Spock began scrubbing and scrubbing himself all over, unable to feel clean no matter how hard he scrubbed. The water began slowly turning an emerald green from the blood that was being washed away from all of his injuries. Growing more hysterical the more he scrubbed, Spock began crying and sobbing aloud, forgetting about the other inhabitants of the house.

Leo twitched slightly as he woke up. He stared at the celing for a moment, attempting to figure out what had woken him. Looking over at Jim, he realized that one of his lovers was missing. Leo cocked his head to the side as a muffled noise drifted through the closed door. Rising to his feet, he padded over to the door and opened it. The sound was slightly clearer now. It sounded like someone was anguished. He followed the noises and pushed open the door to the bathroom in the second guest room. What he saw made his blood run cold with horror. Spock was sitting in a bathtub full of water mixed with his own blood and crying uncontrollably. He was scrubbing himself raw. Leo rushed over to the tub and dropped to his knees.

"Spock! Look at me! Spock!" When he saw that he was getting no response, Leo grabbed Spock's face with both of his large hands. He turned Spock to look at him and felt heartbroken at what he saw in those chocolate eyes. Being the doctor he was, Leo began looking Spock's body over for injuries. There were several patches of raw skin where Spock had been scrubbing himself. When Leo attempted to move Spock around to get a better look at his scraped up back, he got burned by the water and jerked his hand back. "Good God man! This water is too hot, even for you." Still getting no response, Leo reached down and pulled the plug in the bath. It was as the water was beginning to drain that he noticed it. There were hand shaped bruises around the Vulcan's slender hips. Leo's eyes grew large and, without thought to the other occupant of the house, began screaming for his other lover.

"Jim! Jim! Get in here! We need you!"
