Ryan opened his eyes slowly. Claude had knocked him out again when Ryan had twisted around and bit him. Looking down he almost let out a scream. He was hanging form chains a few inches from the wall. That wasn't the worst part; that was the fact that he was completely naked. He tugged at the chains. If only he was older and his powers where more devolved, then he would easily be able to snap the chains. He contained to tug until his wrist began to bleed. Where was Claude? Ryan could sense him somewhere in the manor though he couldn't pinpoint his location. The hybrid went limp and tried to remember what he knew about Claude. Along time ago Sebastian had told Ryan that Claude was a spider demon. He was the butler to Alois Trancy until the demon had snapped and killed his master. Claude was coming. Ryan hung his head trying to seem like he was still unconscious; Bad idea. Claude slapped him.

"Wake up Half Breed"

Ryan whimpered but didn't open his eyes or respond. Snarling the spider demon pulled a gold knife out of his jacket and slashed Ryan across the face. This time Ryan let out a pained scream as blood ran down his pale cheek. Tears formed in the corners of his red eyes. Smirking Claude licked up the blood. Ryan growled trying to fight down his fear and pain. Claude slashed Ryan's bare chest. Ryan screamed louder this time letting his tears loose. He wasn't going to give in Ryan growled again showing his fangs.

"Still trying to fight are you?" Claude was amused. He turned away to a fire pit and lite it.

Ryan wiggled feeling nervous. What was Claude planning? Once the fire was hot enough Claude set a poker in it. Ryan started to pull at the chains again. Why couldn't he be strong as Sebastian! The older demon could have easily broken free. Claude pulled out the poker and walked back to Ryan, an evil look on his face. Ryan's red eyes widened with fear at the sight of the poker that was still glowing red. The demon pressed the poker into the cut on the teen's chest. The blood hissed as it met the hot metal. Ryan screamed and struggled in agony. When Claude pulled it away Ryan went limp panting. Claude lifted Ryan's chin so that the hybrid was looking him the eyes.

"Are you all tired out?" sneered the demon. "We haven't even gotten to the best part"

Ryan tried to struggle as he felt Claude move behind him. Claude thrust himself into Ryan's entrance. Ryan screamed in pain.

"Get out of me!" he cried tugging at the chains that held him there. All he wanted at that moment was to die.

Claude ignored him and began to thrust harder until blood ran down Ryan's legs. Claude pushed far as he could into his prey and came hard. Ryan cried pathetically as Claude pulled out. "I'm done with you for now. I'll be back tomorrow"

Claude returned upstairs leaving Ryan bleeding, sore, and still crying. True to his word Claude came back the following day. He burned, cut and raped the demon mix. Everyday Claude did something more to Ryan. Soon the once handsome teen was a bleeding, burned, tear stained mess. Ryan lost track of how long he was there. Every day he would scream until his throat bleed. Finally he could no longer scream or fight. Claude had no interest in prey that couldn't fight or scream. The demon unchained the teen, who fell to the floor a limp bloody body. Claude grabbed him by the hair. Ryan didn't even whimper as he was dragged. Claude dumped the demon mix in the woods and left him to die.

After Claude left, Ryan tried to move but was unable. His whole body hurt but mostly his ass. So this was how he was going to die. Beaten so much his fast healing ability wasn't working. Mostly likely a wolf would come along and finish him off. He closed his eyes. Poor Grell; he was probably frantic over his missing son. The red head would be crushed once they found Ryan's body, if they found his body that is. His eyes opened at the sound of approaching footsteps. Had Claude changed his mind and come back for him? Or was it someone who could help him? Should he call out for help or try to crawl away? As the figure approached he caught a flash of glasses. That must be Claude. Ryan tensed up waiting for more beatings. The footsteps speed up.

"Ryan?"

Ryan tried to sit up but ended falling on his stomach. "William?"

William pulled off his suit coat and wrapped it around Ryan's naked body; then pulled the teen to his feet. Ryan had to hold onto William's arm to keep from falling back down.

"H-how did you manage to find me?"

"Grell's be searching for you for over a month. He refused to work. Finally I told him if he did his job I would go out and look for you. I had a sick feeling Faustus had you, we've had reports of him adducting kids around your age"

"I've been gone a month?" gasp Ryan.

"Yes. What did that demon do to you?"

Ryan gave a weak smile as they walked "beat me, raped me, all that good stuff"

"Hmm" answered William as they entered the Shinigami realm. Finally they reached Grell's apartment.

The moment Ryan and William entered the door Grell tackle hugged Ryan. For Ryan this was very awkward and painful; awkward because he was still naked and painful from his wounds.

"Mom you can hug me to death after I shower"

Grell refused to let go of his son "what happen! Why are you all cut up and naked?"

"Claude got a hold of him" answered William.

Ryan finally managed to pull himself free and went into his room. After a moment Grell ran in and hugged him again.

"Mom I need to shower!" snapped Ryan.

Grell let go reluctantly. "William said Claude raped you" his voice was almost a whisper, then louder he said "I need to check your wound down there"

The demon mix stared at Grell "I'm not letting you look at my butt!"

"Either you lay down so I can check your wound or I can have Will hold you down" said Grell coldly.

Ryan glared at his mother for a moment then lay on his stomach on his bed. He closed his eyes. This is going to feel so weird he thought to himself.

Grell parted Ryan's cheeks and let out a gasp; his entrance was raw and torn with dried blood and cum all around it. Ryan flipped over.

"Ok you saw what he did now can I shower?"

Grell nodded sadly and returned to the living room and sat with William crying. When Ryan came out he was fully clothed and seemed happy. Grell jumped up and hugged him again. This Ryan didn't fight, he understood Grell must have been worried, after all he had been gone a month. Finally ryan spoke.

"I know I don't have to breathe, but I think I would like to at some point"

Grell let go and Ryan sank down onto the ruby colored sofa. William walked to the door. "From now on he is not to be alone. He can sit in your office while you work. When you go out reaping he is to sit in my office. Is that understood?"

Grell nodded as did Ryan who was too tired to fight at the moment; once William left Ryan stretched out across the sofa. He hadn't slept well in a month. Grell sat down and put Ryan's head on his lap. If Ryan wasn't so tired and sore he would have protested. Grell began to stroke his sons black hair. Slowly the teen feel asleep; feeling safe for the first time in a month.

The following two weeks Ryan felt like he was on house arrest. He couldn't move without someone watching him. He had taken to hanging out with his older half-sister Cady and avoiding his older half-Brother William Spears Jr. sometimes Grell would leave his son with Cady's father the Undertaker; much to the teen's horror. Being sixteen he didn't want to be babysat, even if he has been recently kidnapped.

Now he was with Cady. Out of all three of Grell's kids Cady looked the most like their mother. Though both Junior and Cady had red hair like Grell, Cady was the only one with fangs like Grell's. Ryan had fangs but they were demon fangs like Sebastian's. Cady had been brought up by her father yet behaved like Grell. Grell and his sister Kyla where orphaned as kids and Undertaker had raised the two. Then twenty-seven years ago Grell had gotten drunk and Undertaker taken advantage of the younger reaper resulting in Cady. Since Cady was a full-time reaper now she had her own apartment. That was where Ryan was currently at. Ryan liked his older sister she was basically his only friend. Cady was in her room now getting ready for a date with Ronald Knox. Some off the reapers (mostly Junior) have said because Cady was basically a mini Grell that she was going to be a whore like their mother. Ryan felt that was unfair. As far as he knew Cady was still a virgin. Thought it was true Grell got around before Ryan was born. Ryan was lying on the couch reading when there was a knock at the door.

"Ryan, honey can you get that?" called Cady.

"Yeah" he called back.

Opening the door it was Ronald. "Hey Ry is Cady here?"

Cady came out and kissed Ronald. "Ryan where going out, do you want us to walk you home?"

Ryan was excited this was his chance to get out without being watched. "No I can walk by myself. Have fun on your date!" with that he ran off and entered the human realm. London was beautiful right now.

Ryan sighed and stared of into space lost in his own thoughts. A sharp pain in the back of his head threw Ryan out of his thoughts and sent him flying down in to the alley below. He landed on his back winded. He gasped painfully. What hit him?

"You should really pay attention to your surroundings"

Ryan sat up and stared into the shadows at a familiar pair of red eyes. "Dad?"

Sebastian stepped out of the shadows and smiled. "I was testing you to see I you had sensed my presence.

Ryan rubbed his head "well obviously I didn't. That bloody hurt"

Sebastian smiled. "I guess I did hit you a bit hard" he looked around "is Grell with you?"

Ryan shook his head "no. he's at home. Really I'm not allowed to be out on my own" Ryan jumped up. "Let's go to mom and my apartment!" the hybrid didn't want to explain his recent run in with Claude.
