Not very futuristic -SS AU-

After the whole 'King' incedant Romans had headed to his room carrying me bridal style. The damage caused by him wasn't too bad, for me at least. I've been through worse times. Though I did black out from blood loss, everyone thought I died, hah I'm already dead inside.

We were sitting on his bed, well I was laying while he looked me over for any other injuries, occasionally looking back to the place I had been stabbed.

"w-what are y-you doing?", I asked in barely a whisper, he was close enough to hear me. "I'm checking you for injuries, making sure he didn't hurt you any more than he already has", I didn't know if it was a trick of light but there was a pink hue to his cheeks.

"I already said I was fine!", I groaned angrily, why was everyone so worried. If they were there when my father still had me, I would literally never be alone again. He did... Things to me that I will never forget.

There was a knock on the door cutting me from my thought, I went to stand but was instantly pushed into the bed once again. "you aren't going anywhere mister, you need to sleep", I sighed angrily and later back down.

Roman opened the door to reveal the queen and the royal adviser, Remy. I had seen Remy every now or then, he always seemed to be lingering around the queen. It was good that Patton's brother now sorted for the queen, little scary though.

The queen continued to talk to Roman, looking at me every now and then. Roman gasped, "no, Virgil is my assistant, we aren't selling him!!", Roman yelled furiously, pacing slightly at the door. "please Roman, be reasonable here honey, they are offering quite a lot of fortune", Roman growled, "stop it!, all you care about is fortune, haven't you ever stopped to think how it would affect anyone else, hes family now!?". The queen frowned slightly, "at least let Virgil meet him, I'm sure they'd love to be reunited, he said they were relatively old friends".

I sat up, my thoughts racing, I didn't have any friends back then, who the hell wants to buy me. Roman frowned, "ok, but if he doesn't want to then we aren't selling him!", the queen nodded, gesturing for me to follow her.

I hadn't planned to be sold away, I like it here. The queen led me to a small door, well normal sized door. And opened them, revealing someone I never wanted to see again, fucking bin man himself, Remus.

He smiled seductively at me, Bowing to the queen. "no!", I yelled out of no where, Remus stood up in surprise, and the queen was flabbergasted, "but, aren't you guys friends?". I flinched as he put his hands around my waist, "we were more than friends~", the queens smile faltered at the look in my eyes, "get off of me you perverted piece of sh*t!", I broke out of his grip and grabbed the closest object, readying to throw it as hard as I could.

"now now now Virge, I wouldn't do that, if you don't accept my offer, war will be declared", he edged closer to me, "and everyone you ever loved will be in danger". I stayed silent, shocked at the risks this could bring.

I sighed in defeat, I would never out my friends in danger, "fine, but if you so much as talk to my friends, the deal is broken and I have the right to kill you!", I growled. He smirked, "then a deal is a deal".

He handed the money to the queen and said his goodbye as he left the room, me following with my head hung low.

He continued to lead me to the exit of the castle, somehow knowing exactly where to go. We were about to pass the grand golden gates when there was a shout, "Virgil!", Roman was booking it down the hall towards the entrance.

I gave a sad smile, small wave and continued to be dragged towards the carriage. As soon as we got to the door of the carriage he grabbed my waist and picked me up. He threw me in to the vehicle and climbed in after.

He sat down in the middle of the seat, petting his lap, signalling for me to sit down. I ignored him and directed my attention to Roman, now with Logan and Patton. They all were being held back by guards, shouting for me to come back. I could never put them in danger.

A growl brought my attention back to Remus, he had stood up and walked over to me, sitting on my lap. I shuddered slightly, flinching vilontely as he threw his arms around my neck loosely.

I pushed him off roughly, making him snicker. "don't worry hun, we aren't ready for that yet", he smirked at me and continued to sit on my lap.

I sighed, looking at the passing houses, memories of when I was a kid, running through alleys and down streets to escape him. And no one thought to help.
