Vikk's Pov:

I gave up hope, I have no hope anymore, I don't know what hope means. I gave up I don't care anymore, I follow his rules and obey him. He calls me by the number on my arm, Slave, or Little Star, he never calls me by my real name.

Since I have been here I have gotten in trouble 4 times, First one was the second day I was here, I talked out of place. Second I forgot to do something and I called him by his real name. Third I refused to do something he wanted me to do. And finally, I made his food wrong. Those are the only things I did that he didn't like so far and each one of them had a punishment, The all included a whip but they all had on more idea each. First was the Knife he carved the number and the "Property of Maximus Roger" on it. Second was a metal pan he use to hit me with, and he hit me in the head so I would pass out. Third on is I cat eat. If he sees me eating I will get in trouble. The final one was the worst, he drugged me, with some drugs he didn't tell me what ones, but I had a really bad hangover when I woke up, in fact I still have a bed hangover and he will not give me anything to help with it. So I am walking around with a massive headache and I will trip over my feet every once in a while.

I still have the metal collar around my neck and it is connected to a chain that is connected to the wall of my cell, It is long enough for me to walk around the house and do my chores but not to go out side. I haven't bed outside in what feels like forever and let me tell you I miss it.

So the only visitors he gets are his drinking buddies, I learned to go to my cell when they come over. Because the first time they came and they saw me they beat me up and threw me into my cell them selves. I don't have a shirt on because it is ripped and he will not get me another shirt. You can see all of the bruises and marks on my chest and arms. I have some on my legs and my pants are ripped where he whipped them. But I really don't care anymore and he knows that, he knows that I gave up hope. He tells me what to do and I obey. I will not fight anymore.

Lachlan's Pov:

We are finally got to go get Vikk, it took us about a week to get everything ready but he now have a plan. Pete was able to hack into his computer and we saw that he was ordering some food from a store, Pete then changed the drop off to our hotel room, so we will be the one's to deliver it to his house. And since the package has to be sighed for , the Person will let Pete into his house so he can do just that. While he is doing that Mitch, Jerome and I will go though the window thought the front door and Preston and Rob will go thought the back door and Preston and Rob will go though the back window in the back that we will open. We will wait for Pete to leave. Then wait for him to come thought the window, we will go find Vikk then leave. With out a sound. That is our plan and we hope it will work.

We arrive at Maximus's house and Pete gets out of the car to go "Deliver" the package. Preston and Rob go around the back to wait for the window to open. Then after about a minute Mitch, Jerome and I walk up to the front door and make sure they are not in the front room and we run in and go open the window. We help Preston and Rob get in thought the window, but then we hear a gun shot and a scream. We run to where where herd the sound and when we get there we see Pete on the floor in a pudle of blood and Vikk is in the corner of the room crying, and from the looks of it he doesn't have a shirt on. Preston runs over to Pete to see if he is okey and he says that he only go shot in the leg. I see Maximus smiling at us and he has the gun at his side.

(M: Maximus, V: Vikk, L: Lachlan, Mi: Mitch, J: Jerome, P: Preston, R: Rob, B: Brandon)

L: We are here for Vikk.
M: I could tell that when Vikk yelled Pete's name.
V: Sorry....

Vikk's voice was weak, and I could get a good view of his because he was curled up in a dark corner.

L: It is fine Vikk, you where just surprised.
P: Guys we have a problem, Peter is going to loose a lot of blood if we don't wrap it up soon.
B: Preston I am fine. We are here for Vikk, we need t worry about him right now.
R: Yes, you are right about that Brandon but we are not going to let you die.
M: Well, to late. I can kill him right now.

Maximus raises the gun and Pete and his eyes go big. Then I could tell something was wrong because he stood up, even with a bullet in his legs.

B; Alright, Shoot me. I dare you.
J: What?!
B: Yea, I dare you to shoot me again Maximus.
P: Peter what are you doing?
B: I want him to shoot me again.
P; Why?
B: Because that is what we wants.

Brandon started to limp over to the Maximus and I saw a little flame is his eyes.

L: Guys I think that Brandon is angry.
P; That could be bad. Very bad!
B: Yes, I am mad. Now Maximus are you going to shoot me?
M: Yes, I will.
B: What if I tell you it was to late, to try and do it

Pete was a foot away from him and Maximus raised the gun.

B: Anyone behind me>
Mi: No.
B: Good.

Maximus fired the gun again and I saw blood dripping from his right shoulder. He sidestepped that is why he asked if any one was behind him.

B; Told you, didn't I. You missed your chance to get another kill.

All of a sudden Pet had his left arm around Maximus's neck and the gun in his right hand pressed up against his head.

M: What just happened?
B: I just happened. You are in a death lock with a gun pointed at your head.
M: How did you do that? You lost a lot of blood from the wound on your leg and now your right shoulder.
B: I am a pretty calm person but when I get mad I am mad and adrenaline kicks in. And you know I could just pull his trigger....
P: Peter stop! You need to stop.
B: I am going to hold him right here. Vikk are you okay?
V: Yes.....I am fine.
L: You can come out of the corner Vikk.
V: Umm...
B: What did he do to you?
V. Ummm.....
L; Vikk come here please

Vikk stood up and he walked out of the dark into view and I gasped at what I saw. Vikk didn't have a shirt on so you saw all of the bruises and marks allover his chest. There were scares covering his body and there was a metal collar around his neck that lead out of the door somewhere. I looked back at Pete and he tightened his hold on Maximus.

B: Where are the keys. And Vikk what is on your arm?

I just noticed that Vikk was hiding his arm. I walked over to him.

L: Vikk, Love what is wrong with your arm?
V; Nothing....
L: Vikk, let me see.

I heard him sigh and he gave me his arm, I see a number and words that said "Property of Maximus Rogers." Vikk also started to cry so I kiss his head and pull him into a hug.

L: Shhh it is okay, I am here. You don't have to worry anymore.
V: I gave up Lachlan, I though you gave up on me....
L: Why would you think that?
V: You took so long.
B; Sorry, Vikky. We were trying to to prevent someone from getting hurt. But it didn't work.

I look over at Pete and I still see the fire in his eyes but he was also pale, really pale.

L: Do you know where the keys are to the thing around your neck?
V: No sorry.
B: Where are the keys? Maximus.

I could tell that Pete was getting frustrated but he was getting weaker, and angrier.

P: Peter you need to calm down.
B: I am clam, Now where are the keys?
M; They are in my room on my night stand.
B: Can one of you get them?

His voice was getting weak and I was starting to worry, it looked like he was going to pass out but he was holding on.

Mi: I got them.
B: Some one call the police.
J: On it.
B: You are going back to jail.
M: Yay, jail. At least I had a good run.
R: Brandon let him go.
B; Are you serious, let him go. Not happening.
R: You are going to pass out from blood loos you need to let him go.
B: I am fine not letting him go till the police get here
P: Peter you are getting weal, you need to let go.
B: I am fine. He cant get out.
V: Brandon let go!
B; No.
M: You hear the man he is not going to let go.

I saw an evil grin on Maximus face and I new he was going to try something.

Mi: Got the keys.
B: Get the collar off of Vikk

I saw Pete let go and he fell to the ground, his eyes where closed, but he quickly opened them just as Maximus knelt next to him.

M: Brandon right?
B: Yes, What do you want.

He asks trying to stand up again and keeping the gun behind his back.

M: Nothing.

Suddenly Brandon was up on his feet pushed against the wall by Maximus. He took the gun and pushed it against his head.

M: I got you stuck.
B: Fine with me....
J: The police are on there way.....What happened.
P: He is getting to weak.....
B: You got the collar off?
Mi: Yes.
B: Good.

Vikk was hiding in my side and I was holding on to him with my arm. I was just looking at Pete and the fire in his eyes was gone and he was struggling to keep his eyes open.

L: What happened Vikk?
V: He hurt me....
L: How?
M: Whipped, Starved, cut, hit and then drugged him.
L: You what?
M; Drugged him, I think he still has his hangover to.

I looked at him and glared, I pulled Vikk closers to me just as Pete pushed Maximus against the wall. We also hear another gun shot.

B: Fudge! That one hurt.
V; Pete, please calm down.
B: I am clam Vikk, I promise I am. I just got him against the wall. Jerome come here please.
J: what do you need Buddy?
B: Take the gun, don't know why I didn't think of this early. And just get it out of this room.
J; Okay.

Jerome ripped the gun our of Maximus's hand and walked out of the room. Brandon let go of him and slid down the wall holding his chest.

B: Does anyone hear the police?
P: They should be here by now.
R: Brandon are you okay?

he nods and rest his head against the wall and Maximus was in front of him.

M: I should have took you, I would have had a lot more fun with you and that rebellious spirt.
B: Would have preferred that.

Pete's eyes where closing and Maximus was just sitting in front of him.

V; Pete can you hear me?
B: Yes
V: Thanks...
B; No problem Vikky. Anything for my friends.
V: Just hold on a little longer
M: It looks like I got my last kill after all Brandon. And it looks like it is you.
B: Glad it was me.
Mi: We are not going to let you die Petey. I hear the police they are coming, just hold on.
L: Where was the gun shot?
B: My gut.....
V; WHAT?!
M: He is to sluggish to move, so when he pushes me up against the wall I shot him.
Mi: I am going to kill you.
M: Come at me boy, I can kick your butt.
B: Don't threaten my friends.
M: Why, you can't do anything about....

Pete's first connected with Maximus face and he fell to the ground clutching his face.

B: I did something about it.
M; I am glad you are going to be dead! You deserve to die!

That is when the police ran into the house and them grabbed Maximus and hand cuffed him and took him out of the house. We all ran over to Pete and his eyes where closed. Preston touched his shoulder and he opened his eyes.

P: When will you learn?
B: Never.

I new that Preston and Brandon knew each other before YouTube and they are pretty good friends. So when he found out that Pete started YouTube he was the first one to record with him. He also introduced us to him.

The paramedics came in and pushed us away from Pete to get him on the stretcher.

L; I love you Vikky, I love you my Star.
V: I though we already went tough this.
L: We did, but I needed to say it again and ask you something.
V: And that is.
L: Will you Vikkram Barns do me the honor and be my boyfriend?
V: Yes! A hundred times yes!

I smiled and pulled him closer to me. He stood one his toes and I kissed him. He kisses back and we stayed there for a while till we had to pull apart for air.

We heard clapping and I looked at all my friends to see them clapping.

J: We watched to formation of Vikklan.
B: Yes we did.

I looked over to see Pete on the stretcher and the Paramedics wrapping up his gut.
Vikk grabbed my hand and pulled me over to him.

V: Thank you again.
L: You brave little Slime you.
V: Anything you my friend. Now if you don't mind....I am going to go to sleep.

After Pete said that his eyes closed and the paramedics freaked out and ran out of the house with us following. I felt tears running down my face and from the looks of it everyone else was to. The paramedics put Pete into the back of the ambulance and Preston got in with them. The drive off and we followed behind them.

~~Time Skip~~

We have been sitting in the hospital waiting room for a few hours and we have heard nothing about how Pete was doing. We were all worrying, none of us wanted to loose a friend a very good friend.

(P: Preston, R: Rob,
V: Vikk, L: Lachlan,
M: Mitch, J: Jerome)

P: What is going on! We have been here for about four hours now and there is nothing. What has happened?
R: Preston you need to calm down.
P: What if he is dead? What are we going to tell Kara and his family...never mind not his fam....
M: We don't know Preston.
V: Why not tell him Family?
L: Umm...They kicked him out.
V: Is that why there where a few bruises?
L: It was worse but they healed.
V: Oh...
J: Preston he is a strong Person.
M: He will be okay.

Preston didn't say anything he just sat down in one of the chairs and started to cry. Rob picked him up and placed him in his lap. and started to rock him back and forth.

R: Shh, Preston I got you.

Vikk also started to tear up so I picked him up and put him in my lap. After about a minute or two of silence a nurse cam up to us.

(N: Nurse)

N: Are you the boys that came with Brandon Hutt?
M: Yes we are.
N: We are so sorry that we left you clueless for so long.
P: What happened?
N: He is fine. He did loose a lot of blood and because the bullet was stuck in his gut it was not helping so we had to do surgery to get it out. We have not had a patient that close to death before. You are lucky that he wanted to stay, or you could have lost him.
V: Can we go see him?
N: Yes he is room 188, but be quiet he is asleep.
P: Thank you. And we will.

We all stood up and made our way over to room 188. We opened the door and walked in. We saw Pete on the bed asleep and he had an IV in his arm. And his should was wrapped up.
I closed the door and sat down on the sofa with Vikk in my lap. Preston and Rob sat on the other Sofa and Mitch and Jerome sat on the floor.
A few minutes passed and Pete started to stir. Then he opens his eyes.

(B: Brandon, V: Vikk,
L: Lachlan, P: Preston,
R: Rob, M: Mitch,
J: Jerome, N: Nurse,
D: Doctor)

B: Where am I?
P: At the hospital.
B: Why?
L: You got shot three times.
B: Oh yea...

Pete tried to sit up but failed and fell back down in pain.

B: Fudge!
P: You need help there Peter?
R: Wait let the Nurse do it.
P: Fine.
B: Can one of you push the call nurse button. I don't know where it is.
J: I got it.

Jerome walked over there and pushed it than sat back down. After a moment the Doctor and Nurse came running in.

N: Is everything okay?
L: Yes he just woke up.
N: That is good.
D: Brandon are you okay?
B: Yes. Just a little pain and I can't see anything.
N: Here let me help you sit up.

The Nurse sat Pete up the walked back over to the Doctor.

B: I still can't see anything.
D: Can some one turn on the light?

I walk over to the door and turn on the light, because I was closest.

D: Can you see anything now?
B: Yes a little bit. It is just really blurry.
D: Do you wear glasses to read and other thinks like that?
B: Yes.
D: Okay I now what is wrong.
V: And that is?
D: Trauma. If something bad happens or you where close to death. Trauma happens. It usually happens in dreams but your Brandon's case it took a bit of his sight. So Brandon you will have to get use to wearing glasses or contacts all of the time.
B: Yea that is fine. Can we do something about it fast because my eyes really hurt.
D: I will call in an osteopathic Doctor, and get your eyes looked at for now keep them closed.
B: Okay.

After the Doctor checks a few things on Pete. He then walks out of the room.

B: Are you guys still here?
R: We are here don't worry.
B: Okay.
P: You scared us Peter.
B: I know I did. The doctor told me I was the most closest to death patient he has ever taken care of.
V: Why didn't you stop when we told you to?
B: Because you already gone thought enough pain Vikky. And I could let the other get hurt. So I took the blow.
M: You are kinda scary when you are mad.
B: I have had people tell me that many of times. That is why I am always calm.
J: You are a pretty chill person Petey.
B: Thanks.

We sat in silence for a moment until Pete started to move his head around. Ina panic.

R: Brandon, you okay.
B: So you guys are here. I thought you left.
V: We wouldn't leave Pete.
B: There was not sound. I can't see you guys.
P: And you will get your sight back soon.

Preston states standing up and walking towards Pete, Pete turns his head towards the sound.

B: Which one of you is there?
P: Don't worry Peter is is just me.
B: Okay, Okay.

Preston got a little bit closer and was now stand right by Pete.

P: Can I give you a hug?
B: Yes.

Preston sat down on the bed and pulled Pete into a hug. From the looks of it they where having a silent conversation. After they where don't Pete rested his head on Preston's shoulder.

P: He is asleep. So be quiet.

He all nod out heads and I pul Vikk closer to me. I put my head on his shoulder and fell asleep with my new boyfriend in my arms.

~~Time Skip back to hotel room~~

Vikk's Pov: (This part on is just Banter)

I am going to say this, it is funny watching Pete trying to get use to his new glasses. Pete is seriously acting like s child it is hilarious. He keeps saying he could see us and he would point to colors and say what they are. He was blind for about 3 days and when he got his glasses Preston took them from him until we got to the hotel. So when he was able to put them on his face was priceless. So now at the hotel room Pete is running around hugging people saying "I can see you" It was the most hilarious thing to watch. The person Pete was going to hug didn't expect it so he was also scarring them. He has gotten all of us besides Preston and I think Mitch.

I was cuddled up new to Lachlan sitting in silence as Pete suck up behind Preston and jumped on his back, scarring the life out of him.

"Ha, I got you back Preston!"

"You little Pecker!"

Pete jumped of off Preston's back and ran Preston ran after him, they where playing a came of chase until Preston caught him and threw him over his shoulder.

(P: Preston, B: Brandon, R: Rob, V: Vikk, L: Lachlan, M: Mitch, J: Jerome)

P: Wow! Peter you are light. I could keep you up here forever.
B: Hey, no put me down you little cactus!
P: No I will not be doing that you little Slime.
B: Help me! Preston will not put me down!

The others came running into the living room to see what was going on. When they saw they sat down on the other couch and started to laugh.

L: I think we know who the kids are.
B: I am technically still a kid Lachlan. I am only 18 years old.
L: That is true but Preston is 21.
B: So, we all still act like kids every once in a while.
V: He has a point there Love.
L: Okay, Okay.
B; Preston put me down!
P; No, as I said I could keep you up there forever.
B: Help me?
R: Nope I am staying out of this one.
M: I don't want to move.
J: You have to get put of this one by yourself.
B; Come on Vikk, Lachlan?
L; No sorry, this is funny to watch.
V: I am amused as well.
P: Looks like you are stuck Peter.
B: Come on. Well then get your butt out of my face.
P; Get your face out of my butt.
M: You are right this is funny to watch.
B: Preston put me down. I still have so much to see an people to surprise.
P: No you little slime. This is you punishment for scaring me.
B: But you scared me! Twice!
P: Yea so, you couldn't catch me.
B: I give up.

We all watched in a amusement and Preston walked around the hotel room with Pete over his shoulder. And over about 10 minutes Pete started to complain again.

B: Presssttoonnnnnn
P; What Petttteeerrr?
B: I want down.
P: Hmmm....No.
B: Can one of you guys help me now?
R: Still staying out of it.
V; Still amused.
L; I am comfortable cuddling with my Star.
J; I just don't want to get up.
B; Mitch help me please!
M: Fine

Micth stood up and Preston ran with Pete over his shoulder. Then Preston trip over the coffee table leg and fell with Pete then Mitch fell on top of them.

P; Ow.
B; Okay that hurt.
M: Yes it did.
B: Preston you are on my fee get off.
P; I can't Mitch is on me .
B: Mitch get off.
M: No.
B; Come on You are going to do it to?
M: Yes.

We all started to laugh and ever Pete started to join in after a moment, when we all calmed down Preston spoke.

P: Mitch you are killing me
B: You are complain, I am under both of you!

Mitch whispers something in Preston's ear and when he moves away, Preston nods and has a evil grin on his face the same as Mitch.

P: Peter you better run.
B: I can't you are both on top of me.
M: We will get off and give you five second to run. The question is are you okay with use tying you up?
B: I guess.
J: Really?
B: Yes, they are my friends I trust them with my life.
M: We will stand up, you run. And don't lock any of the doors that will not be as fun.
B; Can I put my contacts on?
P: Okay, just yell at us when you are ready?

He nods and they stand up then Pete runs to the bathroom.

R: What are you two planning.
M; Tickling him.
P: Peter is really ticklish.
J: wow, you guys are evil.
M: He is the one that scared us we are just going to have a little fun.

We hear Pete yell and Preston and Mitch go run off. We see Pete run into the living room and he hides under the table. After a few moment Mitch and Preston come in. They spot his feet and come up behind him and grab him. Mitch grabs his hands and pulls them behind his back.

M: Did you get them?
P: Right here.

Preston then zip ties Pete's hands behind his back and then he dose it to his ankles.

B: I should not have agreed to this.
M; Aww.... Pete don't be scared all we are going to do is this.

Mitch starts to tickle Pete and Preston follows. Pete starts to laugh and begs them to stop but them show not remorse.

B: No please! Stop.

We all started to laugh as Pete was tickled. After about 5 minutes they stopped and untied Pete.

B: My chest hurts from laughing
L: Mine dose to.
V; Agreed.
R: So do you guys want to play a game before we go get some food?
V: Play Would you rather?
J: Sounds fun!
R: Then lets play. And because it was your idea Vikk you can start.
V: Okay. Mitch, would you rather burn or freeze to death?
M: Burn it would be fast than freezing. Pete would you rather Read people's minds or talk to animals?
B: Read people's minds then I could prevent stuff like this from happening.

We all start to laugh an we go around a few times ad when Pete got asked his third question he was asleep and Jerome didn't even notice because he fell asleep on Jerome's lap.

V: Wow, he must have been tired.
J: And you are right Preston he weights nothing.
P: I know!
R: Well why don't you wake him up.
J: Why?
M: We need to eat Biggums.
J: Okay.

Jerome starts to shake him but he open his eyes or even move.

J: Um....Guys he is not waking up or even moving....

I walk over to them and I check his pulse, I feel it and I smile.

V: He must just be a deep sleeper.
P: Tickle his feet it will wake him up.

I start to tickle Pete's feet and he squirms around and sits up grabbing his feet.

B: I though we where done with the tickling.....
V: You fell asleep and we needed to wake you up.
B: I feel asleep, and why did you wake me up?
M: Yes you did and you feel asleep on Jerome for that matter.
B: I did, I am sorry Jerome.
J: You are fine. I didn't even notice you where there, you weigh nothing.
B: Stap, I know I am light. Now why did you wake me up?
L: Food.
B: Oh okay lets go.

We all nod and stand up and go get some food.

~~Time Skip to When they all go home~~

Lachlan's Pov:

Today was the last day everyone was going home. I was going to miss holding my Star in my arms and being able to kiss him, but we needed to go home.

We all got to the airport and Preston some how managed to scare Pete one more time. I giggled a little bit before pulling Vikk to the side.

"How are we going to do this Vikk?"

"I don't know Lachy. But I want you to know that I love you and I really want this to last forever. Okay Love."
" Okay Star and I love you too."

I pull Vikk in for a kiss and he gladly accepts. After a minute or two we pull apart and go back to the group hand in hand.

" I am going to miss you guys and it was great seeing you in Person Pete." I state.

" I was glad to meet you guys to, even though I got tied up," Pete states with a little smile on his face.

Just then the speakers went off saying that my fight was leaving, I kissed Vikk one last time and I ran off to go catch my flight.

Once I was one I closed my eyes and fell asleep and the last though on my mind was,

"That was an interesting adventure, but I finally got the love of my life."
