After a while of silence Preston and Vikk shouted in pain and Mitch grabbed his gut. They looked down at their wrists and looked back up at us with eyes opened wide.

P: Peter...
V; Is getting hurt again.
M: Kenny is sitting there watching......

Vikk's Pov:

They are getting hurt again! We don't know why, but from what I am feeling Pete is getting a beating and Kenny walked out of the room.

(N: Matt, C: Choco, V: Vikk, L: Lachlan, M: Mitch, J: Jerome, P: Preston, R: Rob, Jo: Josh, S; Simon)

P: Kenny is out of the room.
M: But how usually he makes Kenny watch.
V: Made he sent him out?
C: Kenny left the room?
N: That is good, he shouldn't see that.

I feel like I can't breath, I grab a hold of my neck and I start to breath heavily, Lachlan takes my hands away from my neck and pulls me into his chest.

L: Follow my breaths just in and out.

I nod my head and I start to follow Lachlan's breathing, soon enough I can breath again.

M: He is passed out.
P: Kenny is back in the room and freaking out.

Preston grabs his gut again.

V: Kenny just got kicked.
P: Yep! over and over.

I start to feel light headed and sleepy, I curl up into a small ball on Lachlan's lap and I struggle to keep my eyes open, The stranger must have used something on Pete to make him pass out. I look at Mitch and he is holding his gut but soon lets go,

M: Pete get kicked again, but Kenny and him are okay now. We think.

I nod my head and I start to close my eyes.

L: Star, are you okay?
V: I am tired.
P: Are you feeling it?
V: I feel it from both.
C: Did the stranger use something to make Pete pass out?
Jo: chloroform.
S: That stuff knocks you out fast.

I nod my head, and uncurl in Lachlan's lap to turn around and curl up again, and I put my thumb in my mouth. I hear Lachlan's giggles, then I feel his hand on my head, and I fall asleep.

Brandon's Pov:

I wake up with a gasp and I sit up, I put my hands over my face, What happened last night? I don't remember anything. Anxiety starts to set in and I start to cry, and I pull my knees to my chest and lay my head down on they and I just cry. I felt something touch me and I jumped and curled up tighter. I feel them pull me into their lap and start to rub my back, trying to calm me.

"Pete what is wrong?" I hear Kenny's voice ask.

"I am done, I don't even remember what happened at all yesterday! That Person is doing stuff to me, that I never wanted to happen. I look like a freak, and I am useless." I state crying into his shirt.

I feel Kenny's grip tighten on me and he starts to rock back and forth.

"Pete, you have been the strongest out of all of use since we get here, don't give up now."

"Kenny I can't I don't have the courage to carry on. I am to scared. I don't want him to make me forget everything, If he did something to make me forget last night than he must have something to make me forget everything. I can't forget any of you."

"Pete....."

"So I have finally broke the Slime." I hear the stranger say. I look up at him and he walks closer to us, I burry my face in Kenny's shoulder and hold onto him for dear life.

(K: Kenny, B: Brandon, S: Stranger)

K: You stay away.
S: You can't make me.
K: And how come he doesn't remember yesterday, it was just chloroform?
S; No, I have a bit of dust that I call Amnesia dust, I put just the right amount to make him forget.
B; Told you.
S: Now Brandon, why did you get in the way of me punishing MY dog?
B; Because, you don't hit animals.
S: Your an animal, you both are.
B: I never said you couldn't hurt me, just not Kenny or Luna.
K: What? No....Stay away from all three of us.
S: You are not a person any more Kenny, you are an animal, and I treat bad animals the way I want! Isn't that right Luna.

I hear Luna whimpering and I get out of Kenny's arms to go pick her up, but I feel something grab me and it throws me over there shoulder.

K: Hey, don't touch him!
S: Kenny, stay.
K: No, you can't treat me like an animal.
S; No, but I can treat you like a freak. I mean Brandon did call himself one.

The stranger started to walk and he set me on the ground outside of the door.

S; You move I am going to kill you.
B: Yes Sir, I will stay right here.

The stranger smiles and turns back to the door, he pulls something out of his pocket and breaks it, then puts it on the two separate sides of the door. He walks back in and grabs Kenny by the neck and starts to mess with the collar on his neck, then we walks over to Luna and messes with her collar. He smiles and comes back out of the room. The stranger throws me over his shoulder again and starts to walk away.

K: You come back here with him.

I lift my head up to see Kenny running to the door but when he gets to the door he hits something and falls down.

S: You can't get out of that room now! Have fun animal.

The stranger laughs and I start to struggle, he walks down the stairs and he opens the metal door that he brought us thought when he said that we where his slaves, he walks down the steps and opens another door, I saw green all over the place, it was my blood. I freak out at the memory and struggle a bit more. The stranger laughs and throws me against the opposite wall from the blood.

S: Looks like you remember this place, am I right.

I nod my head and move closer to the corner.

B: Please don't I can't take any more.

I state on the verge of tears. The stranger rolls his eyes and walks out of the room, about a minute latter he comes back in with a table. He picks up something and hides it behind his back and walks closer to me.

S: Want to do this the easy way, or the hard way. If easy give me your hands. Hard....well you will find out.

I hide my hands behind my back and the stranger sighs, he comes even closer to me and pulls me out of the corner and sits on top of me pinning my hands above my head. Then with his other hand he takes take out the thing he has been hiding. It was a pair of cuffs, except there was no chain connecting them. there was no middle they where to mental wrist bands that looked like there where welded together. He put them on my wrists and got off of me, I brought my wrist closer to my face and tried started to pull my wrist apart.

S: You can't take those off with out a key so stop trying.

I growl at him but stop pulling at the cuffs. He then walks over to the table again and grabs some tape. And something else but I couldn't see it. He walks back over to me and tapes my ankles together tightly it hurts. Then he tapes my knees together, and thighs. He threw me over his shoulder and stood me up against the wall. He then took my hands and raised them above my head, I try to pull them back down but they stayed there.

B: What? There are.....
S: Magnets genius, you cuffs are magnetic and there are strong magnets on the other side of the wall. Now would you rather I tape your mouth shut or mute you again?
B: Ummm.....
S: So you want to me a mute again.
B: No. No please.
S: Then your getting tape over your mouth.

The stranger pulled took the tape in his hand and ripped off a piece and put it over my mouth. He applied a few more layers than backed away.

S: This should teach you to watch that mouth of yours, and teach you not to stand up to me. Wait you gave up didn't you, I hurt the Slime to much. I was surprised I was able to break you first, I though I was going to break Kenny. But, you are the most depended boy I have ever met, I wonder how in the world Mathew can love you.

He then walks out of the room and I feel tears running down my cheek. He is right, Matt can't love me, I am to dependent. How can any person love some one that is so week. I am powerless, stupid, ugly. I am a freak, and no one can ever love a freak.....

Kenny's Pov:

The stranger locked me in mine and Pete's room and I was peeved and scared. Pete can't give up, I know that the others are coming. Luna has been sitting by my side the hole time trying to cheer me up, it is working but not all the way. I am to worried, Pete is a strong person, he can't break.

I hear foot steps coming up the stairs and I felt something, a feeling of lost hope. It wasn't mine. I then felt a burning sensation on my wrist and I looked down at it to see Pete's name. I freaked out. And the Stranger walked in with a smirk.

"What did you do?"

"I told him the truth, and he gave up."

"No, Pete is one of the strongest people I have ever meet, he can't give up."

"Well, What are you feeling."

"I feel lost hope. That is not Pete's"

"Yes it is, The name on your wrist says it is to. I broke him. After all this time I finally broke him!"

With that the Stranger walked out of he room and I fell to my knees, and buried my face in my hands.

I can't believe it, he actually gave up....

Preston's Pov:

We just got back from looking for the light in the window that Kenny and Pete said that they would do. And we are now sitting on the couch talking about where we should look next, when a feeling of lost hope washed over me. I looked at Vikk and Mitch, and they nodded, they felt it to. I felt tears in my eyes and I felt the burning sensation on my arm. I looked up again.

"On three....Okay." Vikk states with tears in his eyes.

Mitch and myself nod and the room goes silence.

"1."
"2."
"3."

I pull up my sleeve and Vikk dose the same, Mitch just looks down. I gasp at the name I saw.

"No, NO." I state as I fall to my knees and cry.

I hear Vikk's cries to and I look up at him, he was in Lachlan's lap crying into his chest. I felt a pair of arms go around me and I look up to see Rob.

"What is happening?" He asks.

I look back at the ground and I pull my sleeve down again.

"Mitch, are you okay?" Jerome ask.

"Just look at my arm." Mitch states as he gives Jerome his arm.

"It has Petey's name on it." Jerome states.

"What is going on with him?" Matt asks with a panic.

" He gave up....." Vikk states as he sits up in Lachlan's lap, with tears still streaming down his face.

"What do you mean?" Choco asks.

"He lost his hope he gave up. The stranger finally broke him...." I state as I feel more tears running down my face.

I can't believe that he broke Peter, he is the strongest Person I know.....
