(A/N): Hullo.

Vylad's POV-
Nope. This is not happening. This is too much. Nope.
One, two, three, four cuts. They calm me down. Like they did back then...

{~Flashback~}
Crack!
Garroth held in tears as a whip smacked his bare back, leaving a thin line of red. Not his first scar, not his last. Zane had just been sold for the night. Me? I'm useless. I'm not even worth the beatings. When Garte was done, he unstrapped me from the couch. He'd force me to watch my brothers suffer and I'd be there, helpless, unable to move. I rushed over to my brother to see if he was OK. He obviously wasn't, but by beating standards, he was fine. I exhaled with relief and began to tend to his wounds.
"You gonna fix him or hurt him more, ya dumb fag." Garte snorted. Please, tell me something I don't know. But at least I'm going to try.
Over the years, Garte's taught me some things. Things like, I'm worthless. Useless. I should just end it. But I'm a coward, like Garte said. I can't. I just can't. So much for that.
So I make myself useful to my brothers. I carry the mental burden for them. It might seem like a huge pain, but I already know I'm useless. I'm already broken mentally. So it doesn't make a difference. It actually makes me fell better that I'm somehow being helpful.
I'm an accident. A result of an accidental relationship. If it had been up to mom, or my real father, I wouldn't be alive. I'm an accident. And I don't deserve to live. But for some reason, I live anyways.

{~Flashback over ~}

Please, I don't want to feel that helplessness again. It scares me. I still feel useless, so I help wherever I can whenever I can, seldom asking for favors. I don't want to go through this again. Dante was rubbing reassuring circles on my back. He let me cut when I hears the news. It stopped me from going into a full-out panic attack. I'm glad he understands. I stand up and gathered myself. I looked at the clock.
6 PM. It's time to go to dinner with him and mom. Time to face my fears.
