Trigger warning

The shivering, hungry and thirsty boy soon found himself in another place of torment. This time not mental but phisycal. Not having strength to even try and run away, he accepted what was inevitable from his family's hands.

He once again let his mind take him far away from, his emotions eyes looking in the space, when his body one again was being covered with more dark bruises and red scratches. The darkness welcomed him a few times, but every time it happened his torturers did everything to wake him up again. They told him numerously that it was the punishment for bringing dishonor to the family name, that he deserved this, and he saw no point in arguing with them.

The older ones saw him as the source of shame, worthless creature, like a monster that happened to be forced into the family, like Quasimodo who was taken care by Claude Frollo and how he was hidden in the cathedral, just like Kims wanted to hide the existence of an unwanted part of the family. They hadn't decided to just give him up, remove him from family so no one would ever know. Instead they all we're involved in this endless circle of hate.

The poor boy could only wait for the next 4th December, hoping that he would make it until that day.

At that moment, he couldn't do anything as he felt the pain going through his whole body, while his father and brother prepared the next step of their cruel playtime, once again taking the remains of his innocence from him.

When it finally ended, everything was blurry, spinning before his eyes while his head seemed heavy and light at the same time. The feeling wasn't new to him. He didn't fight as he felt arms lifting him roughly and dragging him on the floor nor when his hot as in delirium skin touched cold tiles of the bathroom's floor, nor as he heard the key being turned, as the sore was tightly locked.

He just closed his tired eyes, drifting slowly towards the darnkess, hoping he would be left alone just for a little while.
