Sean sat straddling the balcony railing looking down at the city, his back resting against the wall. He eyes emotionless, except for an expression pure pain. He looked at the little cars making their way down the street and sniffled. He use to live down there ... he used to be normal ... now he wasn't. He looked down and moved to jump, but strong arms pulled him off the railing.

Sean screams and struggles, trying to get away. He claws and bites at the person, trying to make it to the railing again, but the person picks him up and tosses him into the bedroom. Sean rolls on the floor and sobs.Hunter looms over Sean and grips him by his hair pulling him to his feet. Sean sobs and beats against

Hunter's chest. Hunter shakes him.

"What the fuck were you doing!" Hunter screams and slaps Sean across the face.

Sean sobs and stops struggling. Hunter growls and tosses Sean onto the bed, then he walks over and shuts the balcony door. Sean shivers as his only chance for death shuts. He watches as Hunter walks over to the bed and rips off his fragile silk dressing gown, then rips his shorts off. Sean wiggles and squirms to get away. Hunter grabs him and forces him to stay one on spot on the bed as he climbs onto the bed and forces his legs apart settling in-between them. Sean screams and scratches Hunter's chest.

Hunter growls and lifts Sean's hips, thrusting into him with brutal force. Sean screams and tries to move away but Hunter holds his hips and thrusts into him, groaning. Sean screams and cries, gripping the sheets under him. Hunter growls and groans loudly as he comes inside of Sean as he thrusts into him. Sean whimpers and shivers as Hunter slowly pulls out of him and lays beside Sean, stroking his back and buttock.

"Now you see what you made me do baby," Hunter breaths and pulls Sean against his chest, "you scared me so much."

Sean shivers and closes his eyes curling against Hunter, "I'm sorry baby."

Hunter nods and kisses Sean's hair, holding him close as he slowly drifts off. Sean, though, lays awake, trying not cry because of the pain in his bottom.

****************

Sean winces as he sits down with his friends for coffee. It's morning and Hunter has sent him out of the room, with a hard smack on his bottom. To make sure Sean behaved Hunter had a meeting with his friends, in their room.

Sean shifts and sighs, looking out over the table. Christian looks at Sean with worried eyes.

"What happened Sean? Did Hunter hurt you!?!" Christian asks scowling.

Sean shakes his head, "Nothing I didn't deserve."

Bradshaw frowns at him, "What did you do?"

Sean bows his head and whispers, "I tried to jump off the balcony."

Scott just scowls, "Why did you do that? You know that just sets him off."

Sean shivers and whispers, "I don't know."

Scott shakes his head and sighs, feeling cold. Chrissy holds him close and hushes him.

Hunter walks out into the dining room, Austin, Edge, and few others follow. Austin takes Scott's hand and leads him away. Edge smiles and pulls Christian up, sweeping him onto the dance floor. Hunter walks over and sits beside Sean, as Sean watches Christian giggle and hold tight to Edge.

Hunter slowly Strokes Sean's hair back and kisses his temple, "Shh my little one, soon we'll be back in Nexious."

Sean shivers at the word ... knowing what it meant. He sighs and blinks as Hunter pulls him up and slowly pulls him onto the dance floor, holding him close as he sways to the music. Sean closes his eyes and lays his head on Hunter's shoulder. Feeling Hunter's warmth warm him to his very soul. He sighs and purrs, softly. Hunter smiles down at Sean, marveling how he had made a little street rat into the one of the most beautiful people ever. He plays with Sean's hair gently. He smiles softly and sighs, holding him close. It'll feel nice to be back home soon.

*************

Ian Hodgkinson glares at the wall, "For the love of fucking god why are we here?"

Steve Borden sighs, "Baby, you know why."

Ian shakes his head, "I know ... but ... it's..."

Steve frowns, "What... tell me?"

Ian sighs, "Nexious... I want to go home."

Steve sighs and pulls Ian close, "Hunter says we're going soon."

Ian nods and curls up, blinking when there's a knock at the door. Sean opens the door and runs in, attacking Ian on the bed and they roll onto the floor with a thump. Steve frowns and stands when Hunter comes in. Sean covers Ian's mouth and motions with his head to listen.

Hunter looks at Steve, "Brother... it's time to go home."

Steve nods and looks at him with cool eyes, You're done?"

Hunter nods and smiles, "I've got what I came for."

Steve nods, "Father will be happy to see us."

Bradshaw walks in, frowning, "Sirs.. Edge is anxious to know what your decision is."

Steve nods, "We're heading home... tonight. My husband is anxious to be home. So am I, actually."

Hunter nods, "I agree. I want to be rid of this place and take my little one home."

Steve nods and looks at Hunter, "Tonight then?"

Hunter nods and grabs Sean's hair and pulls him up, "Tonight Steve"

Ian Glares at Hunter and stands, only to have Steve pull him close. Hunter looks at Ian and shakes his head, dragging Sean out of the hotel room.

Ian looks at Steve, "WHY!?!"

Steve sighs, "Ian, he's the prince too. You touch him... I can't protect you."

Ian nods and sighs, sagging against Steve, "I know it's just..."

"You don't like to see that happen to Sean."

Ian nods and sighs.

Steve whispers, "You know it's our laws."

Ian glares at Steve, "Our laws need to changed!"

Steve nods and smiles, "We'll change them."

Ian smiles softly and kisses Steve, "We will."

****************

Sean fidgets as a green tunnel opens with a roar. Winds pick up as they swirl around the group. Screams and cries of something come from the tunnel as it moves as if alive. Slowly each couple steps into it. Sean clings to Hunter as he pulled into it. The lights swirl and scream around him as he pulled through the tunnel as if flying. His stomach clenches and his head swims. He blinks when the he feels normal. He opens his eyes, and he's standing in a throne room.

The room is white and huge, almost like a ball room. There's gold trimming on pictures of heroes, and pictures of other kings and queens. Rubies and gems line parts of the walls, a show of riches and power. A soft touch caresses any young man's face whenever he enters the room. The touch is to be said of a young maiden that roamed the halls of the castle before Hunter and his family took it over. As if showing that she still owned the castle in sprit.

There's people walking around that are half animal, half monkey and fox. They where dressed as slaves of the royal family. They scurried around to make sure that they where not punished for being late.

Hunter beams, "Nexious."

A gentle wind, that blows no where but in the room. Keeping the air cool and crisp whilst things remain calm elsewhere.

Hunter slowly moved through the castle looking for changes and seeing that everything was in order. His footprints never leave marks on the floor... but Sean's and any outsiders leave footprints in the soft settling of dust. Sean shivers and follows Hunter closely not wanting to be separated. They finally enter a smaller room, where the king sits.

Vince look up at that them, and smiles, "Hunter, welcome home."

He stands and smiles happily, hugging Hunter close. Vince's bottom Shane keeps his head down and smiles softy happy to see his friend Sean. Vince immediately sits Hunter down to talk to him about all his successes. They dismiss Shane and Sean. Shane takes Sean to Hunter's room for him to change. Shane though is silent as Sean chats at him and Sean frowns softly.

"Shane? What's going on?"

Shane chews his lip, "The king did something."

Sean tilts his head to one side and frowns, "Tell me kiddo"

"He made you and Ian... appointments with Albert."

Sean pales and shakes softly, covering his face. Sobbing softly, "No.. please no."

Shane wraps his arms around Sean and rocks him gently, "It's not so bad.. I went."

Sean hiccups and looks at his friend, "What did he do?"

Shane shakes his head, "Best you not know."

************

Steve else where in the castle holds Ian close as he storms to his fathers room where Hunter is.

"There's no fucking way! Your sending him to Albert. NO!" Steve glares at Vince, holding the shaking Ian close.

Vince looks at him, "All bottoms and subs visit Albert or someone like him at 18. It's the law. You my son will follow the law."

Steve glares at him, "No."

Vince stands and glares, "You will give Ian to the guards tonight or you will end up in the dungeon and he will go anyway."

Ian pets Steve's chest, "Baby, I will go.. please."

Steve nearly forces all of the air out of Ian's body when he hugs him close, "NO!... he's not going... fuck you, Vince."

Steve pulls Ian from the room, and towards their room, Ian has to run to keep up to Steve. Once in there, Steve throws their bags on the bed and starts packing. Ian watches and chews his lip.

"We're going now. I'm not... they can't do this to you I won't let them." Steve states and kisses Ian, "We're going underground.. and we're going now."

*************

Vince looks at the captain of the guards, "Get Sean and Ian now.. Take them down to Albert's. Lock Steve in the dungeon if you have to."

The guard nods and leaves.

Vince sighs, "You'll see Steve... this is for the best."

*******************

Sean screams as the guards grab him and haul him to towards the stable and tie him in a cart. He shakes and whines not wanting to go.

********************

Steve looks up when the guards enter with their weapons. He grabs Ian and keeps him behind himself. Drawing the sword his father gave him.

"You're not taking him."

The Guards look at Ian and Steve, "We have orders just to take Ian, Steve.. let us and we'll leave you alone"

Steve glares at them and swings the sword, pushing Ian out the door to the balcony. Ian climbs over the railing and along the ledge. Steve follows and they slowly inch around the building. Guards though climb onto the ledge on both sides of them. Steve looks down at the 3 story drop and closes his eyes, praying that it couldn't end like this.

Ian bites his lip and grabs Steve, pulling him with over the edge of the ledge. Closing his eyes as Steve screams..

Steve blinks when his feet touch the ground. He opens his eyes and blinks. It was like stepping off a step.. what the.. Ian leans against him tiredly.

Ian whispers, "Magic"

Steve's eyes go wide at Ian, and grab him running for the gate, Just as they seem to reach it.. It raises and shuts, trapping them. 5 guards grab Steve pulling him away from Ian.

Steve grips Ian's hand and clings to him, "NO!"

Ian whispers as he's pulled away, "I love you."

Steve sobs and watches as he's pulled towards the dungeon, "I love you."

Ian's tied and loaded onto the cart with Sean. They're covered up so they stay warm and the gate opens as the reigns of the hoses are flicked. The cart slowly goes out of Steve's sight as he's dragged down into the dungeon. He's tossed into a cell and lays on the ground.

"I couldn't protect him"

******************

Several hours later Ian and Sean pulled from the cart, and it's the dead of night, so they can't tell much about their surroundings. They are shoved through a door and down torch light halls.

Sean sobs and stay close to Ian. Ian shakes softly himself, but pulls all of his inner strength up and glares when they enter a well light room. He glares at Albert and doesn't show fear when Albert walks over. Albert makes quick work of Ian's and Sean's clothes. They're striped naked and them bound to two tables, spread eagle.

"Well now... you both have reached the age," Albert says with a smile, "pleasure to meet you boys."

Ian struggles against the bindings and glares at Albert. Sean sobs softly and keeps his eyes closed. Albert smirks down at them and picks up a brand with the royal crest on it.

"Might as well get started..." he looks at Ian and purrs softly.

**********WARNING Extreme situations. Don't read if you're weak of heart***********

He watches Ian with delight as he pushes the red hot metal into Ian. Ian screams and arches as his flesh burns on his hip, when Albert pulls away, there's a brand, etched for life into Ian. He then picks up a fresh branding iron from the fire and pushes it into Sean's hip. Sean screams and sobs, struggling. Sean sobs and cries out when Albert pulls away and leaves him.

On their hips now lay identical lion markings. The stench of burnt flesh fills the air and both boys sob in pain.

Albert looks over his instruments, "Vince wanted to surprise his sons with gifts. He thought they might like a piercing on their boys."

He smiles and picks up a piercing need and looks at Ian, "You look like a strong one."

Ian cringes as Albert slowly walks over and takes a hold of his cock. Sits down and looks at it, and then picks up a barbell. Measuring it and nods. He pushes the needle through Ian's cock and through to the other side. Ian sobs softly and tenses. Albert the pushes the barbell through the hole and Screws on the top. He groans as he stands, hard as a rock from all of this. He then walks over to Sean and strokes Sean's hair. He looks Sean's nipples over and grabs a gold ring. He gently, so he doesn't tear the nipple, pushes a Fresh needle through Sean's nipple and then slips a ring through it. He smiles at his handy work.

He then slowly picks up a needle and looks at them, "Should I put you to sleep for the last of this or hear you scream."

Ian shakes and sobs softly, just wanting Steve. Sean just cries and wants to die. Albert pads over and slips the needle into Sean and Sean slowly drifts off to sleep. Ian watches as Albert takes a blade and works quietly. He takes Sean's balls and pushes them down to the bottom of his sac. Then slices them off paying no heed to what he's doing, tossing them behind himself.

Ian's eyes go wide and he struggles, "NO!!

Albert shakes his head as he sews Sean up, "Shh, you'll get your turn. "

Ian sobs and shakes his head, "YOU CAN'T DO THIS!"

Albert shakes his head, "I can. I'm paid to."

He finishes and rubs a salve over the cut, knowing it'll be healed in a hour, and he can take the stitches out. He then picks up a clean blade and walks over to Ian.

"Now for you"

Ian screams when Albert pushes his balls down to the bottom of his Sac, "NO! YOU CAN'T PLEASE PUT ME.."

Ian screams when Albert slices off and pain blinds him into unconsciousness. While Ian's out cold, Albert sews him closed and the rubs the salvee on him. He then an hour later removes the stitches and looks over the nicely healed cuts and the piercing. He smiles and nods, loving his work.

**************

The next after noon, Steve wipes his eyes when he looks up as the door opens. Vince stands there leaning against the doorjam. A smirk is plastered on Vince's face.

"Ian and Sean are back," Vince says sounding like he's done Steve a great service.

Steve barges through the door and right to the court yard. Not listening at all to Vince, and nearly knocking his father down. He runs over and picks Ian up holding him close. Ian bursts into tears and clings to Steve. Needing to be near Steve and smell him. Needing to feel safe. Steve just clings to Ian, scared that he's going to lose him again.

"He didn't put me to sleep.." Ian sobs, "Steve it hurt.. it hurt so bad"

Steve holds Ian close and kisses him, "Shh, I'm not going to let that happen again.. NEVER"

Hunter walks over to Sean and pulls Sean's only covering, a thin robe, open, looking at Sean's penis and then tugging on the nipple ring, "Beautiful."

Sean squirms and whispers, "Thank you."

Hunter pulls Sean close and kisses him., "Too bad He didn't pierce your cock.. Maybe next time"

Sean shakes and clings to Hunter, nearly sobbing at the thought.

A lone guard glares silently at Hunter before leaving towards his quarters.Once in them he glares and tosses his helmet away, how could Hunter be so cruel?

Lance storm lays on the bed and frowns, wanting .. needing to rescue Sean so much. He groans as he thinks about watching Hunter fuck Sean in the bedroom growing hard. He runs his hand over his cock and strokes himself, thinking it was Sean's little hand running over his shaft. He bites his lip and shivers as he pictures Sean, taking him into his mouth and sucking. Lances cock drips with Pricome. He strokes himself faster and growls as he comes, over his own hands and belly.

He lays there and vows... he's going to save Sean. He's not going to let Hunter hurt that child anymore.

********

Steve sighs as he enters the bedroom, slowly stripping. He had finally gotten Ian to go to bed and sleep. He looks at his precious love, thinking. He traces Ian's cheek and neck. Ian shifts and whimpers, causing Steve to lay beside him and coo softly into his hair. Ian moves and wiggles snuggling close to Steve and clinging into him. Steve strokes his cheek and watches Ian. Steve frowns because, Ian's stressed even in sleep, his body is tense as if to run or scream. Steve frowns and grits his teeth sitting up, making a choice. He then slowly pulls on his clothes and then shakes Ian awake.

Ian mumbles groggily and yawns as he gets dressed with Steve's help. He yawns and looks at Steve trying to figure out what's going on. Steve though, just takes Ian's hand and pulls him over to the wall. Pulling down a hidden lever and a secret door swings open silently.

Steve ducks through it pulling Ian through before shutting the door behind them. They slip through the passage way heading through the castle. Ian blinks and follows Steve closely, confused and clinging to Steve's arm.

"Steve.. what are we doing?" Ian whispers and looking around.

Steve looks at Ian, "We're leaving. Fuck changing the world. I just want you safe."

Ian blinks, "We can' leave Sean. Hunter will kill him."

Steve turns down a path, cursing not able to leave the Boy to die, "Stay here."

Ian snorts, "Fuck that."

"Ian, please"

"Steve you saw what I did, on the ledge.. trust me.. I'm going with you."

Steve growls, about to point out that he was a prince and Ian was his sub. Ian's eyes, though, flash something rather dangerous and Steve yields and pulls Ian along the passages. Coming upon a sleeping Sean in Hunter's room. Steve pulls a hidden switch and the door opens. Ian steps into the room and runs over to Sean, shaking him.

"Sean.. wake up."

Sean groans and rubs his eyes looking at them, "What?"

Ian growls and pulls him out of bed, pulling him into the passage, "We're leaving. Now."

Sean blinks and clings to Ian, "But..they'll hunt us."

Steve growls, "I wish we could get into the petroleum reserve, we could use it to get a car."

Ian snorts, "You know how heavily guarded that is. The king spends an arm and a leg to get that from Earth, since we don't have any."

Steve sighs.

Ian smirks, "Not to mention we wouldn't be noticed, driving the one and only car on this Side of the Nexious."

Sean looks at Ian and shivers, "We can't go?"

Ian sighs... and then smirks, "No we can.. Raven, Tommy and Sandy can get us out of the Kingdom."

Steve groans, "Kill me."

**************

Lance holds his sword as he watches Hunter and the king start to get search parties formed, to hunt for Sean, Ian and Steve. There is an idea forming in his head. He smiles and knows what he's going to do.

**************

Sean leans against Tommy Dreamer, sleeping as they all sit in a wagon. The Wagon slowly crawling, through the woods away from the Kingdom.

"Aww he's precious," Tommy states and toys with Sean's hair.

Raven scowls and has a look that verge on pouting, but if anyone tells him that... ALL HELL breaks lose.

Jimmy "The Sandman" snorts, "We have one twink. WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER"

Raven growls and smacks Sand upside the head, "Fuck you."

Sand smirks, "No, Ravey... that's your job."

Raven shivers and fidgets.

Steve just groans and holds Ian close, snuggling, "3 hours... 3 hours."

Ian smiles at him, "Shh love, we'll be ok"

Steve snorts, "I'm going to kill them"

Raven scowls at Steve, "We are not that bad."

Steve shakes his head, "No, you're worse"

Raven growls and pounces Steve, pounding on his chest. Steve snarls and rolls Raven, going to hit him... until he see's Raven's ears. They're pointed Elf ears.

"ELF!"

Raven squirms and moves Curling against Sand, hiding. His body shaking in fear.

"Your kind are all dead!" Steve exclaims, shocked.

Sand shakes his head, "We bought him outside of Treist. A slave driver raided a small village of them."

Raven looks at Steve warily, "My people went into hiding. There's small pockets of us through out the Nexious."

Steve nods and sighs, "Good."

Raven frowns, "Good?"

"We're going to need all the help we can get." Steve states closing his eyes, "We're going to over throw the king."

Tommy looks at Steve, like he's grown a second head... or maybe a third.

"I'm not joking," Steve states.

************************************

Lance mounts his horse and rides behind Hunter heading into the forest, "Sire.. It might be easier if we pair up and spread out. Then we can cover more ground on this side, find them faster"

Hunter nods, "Lance your with me. The rest... pair up and go on either side."

************************************

Steve looks up when the wagon stops.

Sand climbs down and stretches, "We'll camp here for the night."

Steve slowly climbs out of the wagon and helps Ian down. Raven jumps into Sand's arms and knocks him down. Raven growls fiercely and rolls on the ground with him. Tommy lays Sean down and covers him. He then jumps into the match. The three ending up laughing.

Ian snorts, "They're finally together... took them bloody well long enough."

Steve shakes his head and looks around, "Hunter has to know by now."

Ian nods, "Prolly searching for us."

Steve snorts, "That man couldn't fine his ass with his hands in his back pockets."

Raven looks up, "Pockets on your ass?"

***********************************

Hunter sighs riding along, "Fucking little bitch is going to get what's coming to him."

Lance smiles, "No Hunter... you're going to get what's coming to you."

Hunter turns sharply, "WHAT?"

Lance looks at Hunter holding his Sword against Hunter's throat, "I watched you beat, and rape, Sean long enough. You're going to pay"

Hunter looks at Lance and sneers, "Do and you've signed your death warrant."

Lance looks at him, "So be it."

Lance pulls back the sword and slices Hunter's head off. The body slowly sides off the horse and Lance takes the horse's reins. Slowly riding on, hearing Steve and the rest in the distance, knowing the body won't be found until morning.

************************************

Raven looks up since they have all settled down to sleep. He was curled in-between Tommy and Sand, but when he sits up, he knocks Tommy back. Tommy growls and smacks Raven's thigh.

Raven hisses, "Someone's coming!"

Ian frowns and looks around.

Steve mutters, "I can't see a thing."

Two horses ride into the camp and Raven's Elf eyes narrow. A KING'S GUARD!

Raven jumps tackling the Guard down and struggling with him. Ian who can't see anything either... curses out something in a foreign language and huge fire lights in the middle of the camp, nearly lighting Sand on fire.

"SHIT!!!" Sand screams backing up.

Raven snarls struggling with guard.

Steve runs over and pulls raven off him, "NO! IT'S LANCE."

Poor Lance, he's bloody and looks to be in a state of shock.

Ian snorts, "Welcome to the marry men of Nexious, Lance." He points to Steve, "That over there, is our Robin Hood"

Lance stands slowly, "An elf... a something, and a prince."

Sean sits curled in the wagon, looking around, bewildered and frightened. He finally crawls out and goes to Steve and Ian. Lance looks at the Sean and his heart breaks. How could he love something like him? After all Sean has been through... he couldn't.

Ian looks and Lance and then Steve, "We don't have a hope in hell"

***************

Lance sighs and shakes his head. He looks around, then smiles as he see's Sean and Raven. Raven had his bow and arrows out and was trying to teach Sean how to shoot. Lance sighs and watches Ian and Steve try to figure out what to do. Sean turns and smiles at Lance, bouncing over.

Sean wraps his arms around Lance and snuggles against his chest, "I'm glad you're here."

Lance blinks and hold shim close, "You are?"

Sean nods and whispers, "Steve said you killed Hunter."

Lance nods and runs his hand through Sean's hair trying to act tough and not interested, "I had to. He would have come after us."

Sean looks up at him with Big doe eyes and kisses him softly, "Thank you."

Lance melts and beams at Sean, "No, thank you."

Lance smiles and holds Sean close, Sean just curls close and smiles.

Ian Rolls his eyes, "Lance is going to follow that child around like a lost puppy."

Steve snorts and looks at Ian, "That's bad?"

Ian opens his mouth and then stares as about 300 people walk into their clearing. Steve just stands, shocked. Raven bolts across the clearing and hides behind Sand and Tommy.

All of the people bow before Steve and Ian and then one person steps out.

John Layfield smiles at Ian and then Steve, "We've come to serve you, future king, in the rebellion."

Ian eyes light up, "WE MIGHT JUST WIN THIS"

Steve smirks, "You had so much confidence in us, love."

Steve pulls Ian close and nuzzles his neck.

Raven rolls his eyes, "Are they going to be corny and say the rebellion of Nexious has begun?"

Sand shakes his head and whispers, "Let them have their moment Raven."

Raven mutters.

Steve smiles and looks over the Crowd, "Let the rebellion of Nexious begin"

The crowd cheers and prepares for the long battle ahead.

Raven shakes his head, "Did I call it or did I call it?"

The end
