---Law---

Another punch to the face sent Law reeling back. He clenched his jaw as he spit out more blood. His ears were ringing, he can faintly hear you screaming in the background. He focused on your screams, wanting so badly to get to you, to stop what ever it was that was hurting you.

But he knew what was hurting you.

You didn't cry or scream when they beat you, it wasn't you that mattered to you. It was him, he has been in this position for two days now, Kid just brought you in not long ago. And the moment you saw him, the moment you realized it was him, you ran to him. You threw your arms around his neck and pulled him into a hug, it was the most comforting thing that has happened in the last few days.

“(Name)...” He choked out. He could see the tears that had fallen from your eyes already, what has he done to you? Law turns his gaze to Kid and narrows it into a glare as if to ask, what have you done? But the red headed man just smirks. When you don't release Law, Kid's smirk turns into a cold stare.

“Let him go.” He growled, stomping over to the two of you and yanking the two of you apart. Law could instantly feel the absence of your touch, and craved for some form of comfort, not that he'll ever admit this.

It was not long after this that your beatings began, you were kicked, punched, stabbed with needles, bitten, and burned with a lighter. Kid scowled through all of this. He didn't like to see you hurt, he wouldn't admit this out loud but, this made him angry. With a huff he storms out the room and lets the men continue beating you, trying his hardest not to tear out their throats.

Law would scream at them, and in turn they would beat him, but you would scream at them. And the pattern would repeat back and forth until the both of them couldn't scream anymore. Eventually the men left and as badly as he wanted to, he couldn't reach you. Neither of you could move anymore, but you both listened to the ragged breath that escaped your lips.

“L-...La.....aw...” You choked out and he slowly turned to you. He meets your gaze and you give him a broken smile and he mirrors it.

Eventually she fell asleep, she couldn't handle the pain anymore. Law watches as she slips into her dreams, her face looked peaceful, but he knew when she woke up that would be gone.

He remembers listening to her beg to Kid and his friend, Killer. Begging them to give medicine to the boy that was brought here with her. Kid said nothing but turned to Killer and nodded. Killer leaves the room and she gives Kid a broken smile.
