He ran.

He ran as fast as his little legs could carry him in the thick snow.

He ran without looking back, praying to whatever God was up there that no one would see him and that his father wouldn't be home yet.

But keigo never had such luck.

When he eventually gets home he runs inside, quietly and quickly before shutting the door behind him, he leans against it taking greedy gulps of air.

"KEIGO"

he flinches at his father's booming voice, silently cursing whatever God was watching over him "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN! I WA---" he stops mid sentence as he slams the sitting room door wide open making it hit against the wall before he gets a good look at his son "what the hell did you do Keigo!?"

He angerly walks over to his son and grabs him by the wrist, pulling him away from the door "your covered in blood! What did you do!?!" He demands as he squeezes his wrist tighter making Keigo yelp a little.

Keigo opens his mouth to speak but no words come out.

This only seems to infuriate his father more "Keigo! Did you hurt someone!" He angerly asks before bringing his other hand to the bridge of his nose and sighing.

"I swear Keigo, if you bring any unwanted troube around here!-" keigo starts to panic and shakes his head rapidly as he looks to the ground "I-I won't! I swear!" He finally says as his hands begin to tremble.

Silence.

He dares to look up into his father's blue eyes only to receive a punch to the face, his vision blurs as he begins to fall, only to be dragged back to standing by his father pulling his arm "how dare you speak to me like that! After everything I've done!" He snarls down to his son, showing of his fangs before dragging him over to the basement.

Keigo's panic immediately increased "w-wait! Please!?" He says as he stumbles over his own feet in a failed attempt to stop his father from dragging him any closer to the basement.

His father roughly throws him down the basement stairs and into the darkness, he hisses slightly to himself as he attempts to use his wings to stop himself from falling, he succeeds only for his father to come down the stairs and kick him in the back, making him fall anyways.

"Please! I-Im sorry!?" He pleads with his father, daring to look into his eyes once again, looking for any hint of mercy, the only thing he find though is cold anger staring back at him.

He starts shaking again as his father turns on the dull basement light revealing a bloody, dark concrete room with nothing but a small metal table at the side and a metal chain securely attached to the wall that keigo hasn't seen before.

"over there, now" his father says in a terrifyingly calm voice as he points towards the chain, keigo's breathing increases but he obeys, knowing better than to test his father.

On shaky legs he makes his way over to the chain before turning back to his father with pleading eyes only to see his father go over to the table and pick up... what looks like a remote and collar before going over to him and the chain.

Confused Keigo watches as his father crouches on the ground and quickly fastens the collar onto the chain and throwing it to Keigo before standing "put that on" he demands in a cold voice.

With shaky hands he looks at the collar and back to his father.

Using whatever defiance he has left in him he shakily speaks.

"No... i-i don't want to..."

His father immediately stops walking anger radiating off of him as he turns his head to look down apon his son "keigo" he starts coldly "are you disobeying me?" He says with venom dripping off of every word.

His eyes widen at the cold tone and he gets a flash of an old memory

He sighs slightly as he rubs the new bruise forming on his right cheek from his father earlier that morning, before stopping at the basement entrance.

He hears yelling coming from the basement.

Curiosity gets the better of him and he decides to go and investigate.

As he gets down the stairs he stops "Mum? W-whats going on?" He stares in horror and confusion as he watches his dad pin his mother to the ground with a knife to her neck "d-dad... p-please stop... i-i know I messed up before! I-im sor--" he takes a small step forward as he looks at his mother's pleading eyes.

"This is what happens when you disobey me Keigo" he says in a calm voice he watches the tears stream down his mother's face "k-keigo i--" her words get cut off as his father drags the knife across her neck, he watches horrified as the crimson liquid leaves her neck and she starts to choke on her own blood.

He watches as his father smiles and he looks over to him.

"Don't disobey me again Keigo" he says in a sickeningly calm voice.

he starts to hyperventilate as he quickly shakes his head.

With shaky hands he looks back to the collar and hesitantly putting it on, trying in vain to calm himself down and stop his shaking.

"Good boy" his father simply says with a smugness that sends a chill down keigo's spine.

"now, are you going to tell me what happened?" He says kneeling in front of him and holding up the remote "or am I going to have to use force?" He says with a smug smile.

Without waiting for Keigo to answer and with no warning or hesitation.

He presses the button.
