Barbara-
"Those traitors!!!!" I roared, throwing things down.
"Relax Babs." Tabitha said.
I took a deep breath and sighed. "You're right." I said.
"Besides, once we meet with Enji...we'll be able to take them all down." Tabitha said.
I nodded and smiled, taking her hands. "Thank you Tabby." I said.
"Sure." Tabitha said, brushing my hair from my face.
I smiled and we kissed on the lips, pushing our heads into one another.Xia-
I was outside of the tent, looking at the stars, wrapped from my fight with Sero. Toya ducked under the tent and walked to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist.
"What's the matter babe?" Toya asked, softly, kissing my neck.
"It's the anniversary of when you and I first met. Do you remember?" I asked.
Toya smiled. "Course I remember, it was the best day of my life." Toya said, and I smiled.~Flashback~
Xia (Age 19)-
I was hiding out in my best friend Amelia's village after I grabbed my 12 year old baby brother Silver and 11 year old sister Jeanette, and I broke us free from my parents. My siblings had all done it a long time ago. "Where are we going?" Silver asked, as I held him.
"Yeah...I'm scared." Jeanette said, holding my hand.
"Away from them." I said, running until I got to Amelia's village and her parents took us in with open arms.
We had been there for a few months now, Silver was playing with kids his age, and then that night happened.
Amelia's father was the Town's Ruler and while her and I were sleeping, we smelled fire. Both of us screamed, and King Enji charged in. "Round them all up!" He said, and his soldiers grabbed everyone from in the village.
"Mom! Dad!! Anthony! Anais!" Amelia shouted, her hands and feet bound in ropes.
"No!!" Alister yelled.
"So, you're the leader of this town." Enji said, and he lined the five of them up in front of all of us, we were all bound in ropes at our ankles and wrists.
"A lesson must be taught to all who oppose me." Enji said.
"No don't!!" I yelled, but a guard slapped my cheek and I fell over.
"Sis!" Silver shouted, but they punched his gut and he coiled over.
"Silver..." I began weakly.
"LEAVE THEM ALONE!!" Jeanette cried, and they slapped her.
"Keep your hands off is her!" I yelled, and they electrocuted me, I screamed out, breathing heavily.
"Xia! Silver! Jeanette!" Amelia exclaimed, but Enji used the butt of his gun to hit her.
I was in tears. "Who is your loyalty to?" Enji asked.
"My loyalty is to Jax Jareau, he fights for freedom and justice, you just want to conquer and kill." Alister, her dad, said.
BANG! "NOO!" Amelia yelled, and her whole family was crying.
"Who is your loyalty to?" Enji asked.
"My husband." Her mom Alice said, and BANG!
"NO DON'T!!" Amelia cried, trying to escape.
"You kids now have a choice. Die a meaningless death like your parents or live to serve me." Enji said.
"Kill me then bastard." Anthony said, BANG!!
"No!! No!!! NO DON'T DO THIS!" Amelia yelled, crying.
"You, child, where is your loyalty?" He asked, Anais.
"I will never bow to a man like you." Anais said, BANG!
"NO NO NO!!!" Amelia cried.
"Who is your loyalty to?" Enji asked.
"You...my loyalty is to you." Amelia said, crying, she was devastated.
Enji caressed her cheek. "Good girl, you'll make a fine suitor for one of my sons." Enji said, and Amelia shuttered at his touch, crying.
"Take the rest of them to the labor camp." Enji said.
We all screamed, and Amelia just watched as we were all tied in a line and whipped us, forcing us to go with Enji and them.
"Traitor." I said.
"I did what was necessary." Amelia said, and I teared up.
They marched us towards the palace, striped us down to bare minimum, and forced us to work on their palace garden. All while Amelia was treated like a princess. I cried every day and every night as they forced us to work during the day and brutally tortured us at night.
I never stopped crying and I wanted revenge on Amelia. One day, I had my opportunity. She was in the garden with Prince Toya in a lovely pink gown. "YOU FUCKING BITCH!" I yelled, disarming a guard and shooting at Amelia, but Toya pushed her down and out of the way, and it hit him in the shoulder.
"DAMNIT! It could have at least pierced your heart...then I could have had at least some sort of closure." I said, in tears.
"Guards! Take her to the dungeons." Amelia said, helping Toya up.
"No...that won't be necessary." Toya said.
"What?" Amelia asked.
"Take her to my private quarters...I'll teach her a lesson she'll never forget." Toya said.
I gasped as Amelia smiled darkly, laughing evilly. "NO! NO! NOO!" I yelled, as they grabbed me and dragged me up to Toya's room.
"Go again Shoto!" Rei shouted.
"I don't want to!" The youngest prince shouted, shoving off his mom and then he got electrocuted and I gasped.
"Keep moving, nothing to see." The guards said, and Shoto was dragged in the direction of the King's room.
"That's cruel, he's just a little boy." I said.
They electrocuted me and I screamed out. They got to Toya's room, and they tied me in breast bondage and a rope dress, throwing me onto the bed with an armbinder tying my arms together and a ball gag in my mouth.
"MMMNNNGGG!!" I shouted, as I tried to squirm out, but I couldn't and I cried in frustration.
Suddenly, the door opened and I stared in horror as Toya walked in, closing the door and locking it. I closed my eyes, but instead of doing what I thought he was gonna do, he took the ball gag out of my mouth.
I was shocked...why? "You're Slade's daughter right?" Toya asked.
"Yeah." I whispered, scared.
"Go take a shower, clean yourself up." Toya said, untying me, turning his back, and I walked into the bathroom and started to shower.
He walked in, completely naked. "Ah!" I exclaimed, grabbing the towel quickly, covering myself up...was this all a sick joke?
Did he want me to clean up just so he could live a bathroom sex fantasy!? He ripped the towel from me and grabbed my hand, pinning me against the shower wall.
I gasped, horrified, forced against the wall. I closed my eyes and shrank into myself. "Who hurt you?" He asked.
"What?" I asked.
"Your scars...who hurt you?" Toya asked.
"A lot of people." I said, confused.
"Who?" He asked, again, letting go of my hand he had pinned.
"My parents for one, that's why I took Silver and Jeanette and ran. Your knights and precious guards, for two. They torture us day in and day out. Oh! And you're oh so precious girlfriend tortures me in her free time. Not to mention your parents too, when it's their turn to have at me—" I began, and I clutched my biceps.
My lips began to quiver. "Whatever you're doing, just get it over with. I can't stand another second here." I said, biting my lips trying not to cry.
He looked over me. "One...you get one." Toya said.
"One what?" I asked.
"Pick a name from your list of people." Toya said.
"Slade...my dad, if someone would gouge out his right eye and make him suffer to live that'd be enough for me." I said.
"Done." Toya said, climbing out of the shower, and draping a towel over his shoulders and tying one over his waist.
He himself was seriously fucking muscular, and hot in a kinda edgy bad-boy sorta way. Plus...his body was scarred to hell with burns. "So the Todoroki dynasty is just cruel." I thought.
"When you're done...get dressed and wait for me." Toya said, as he closed the bathroom door.
My lips began to quiver and I leaned against the shower wall. I wrapped my arms around my knees and cried, as the water hit my back. "This is Hell." I thought.
