His chest hurt, his legs ached and everything about his body wanted to give up and just collapse but Arthur pressed on, panting as he did so. His heart had never raced so much and the pain of being starved was taking such a toll on his body that he had shaken for so long. The wind raced past his ears, his hair getting in his eyes and Arthur could hear the yells and shouts of the men pursuing him. He was sure if they caught him this time they would kill him; this wasn't the first time he had tried to run away. He cried in pain, his right knee almost buckling under his own weight before he picked himself up and carried on running with less and less energy.
He could feel himself slowing down. He could hear his captures closing in on him and he panicked. It was the first time he looked back and all he saw was the blur of bodies. 'Just a little more' He told himself. 'Just a little longer, don't give up' He could see his family's faces as he ran towards them, they would be surprised to see him, his mother and sister crying as they saw he was okay. The problem was, Arthur wasn't okay; he was battered and bruised and his body just couldn't cope.
Something hard hit Arthur's bare foot and it caused him to fall to the floor with the most almighty crunch. He hadn't even had the strength to break his fall with his arms, he just fell, his face hitting dirt. Arthur tried to pull his body up, tried to will himself on but he couldn't even stand. Tears started to pour down Arthur's cheeks as he lay there, silently weeping that he would be once again caught, and most likely beaten to the point of death.
He felt the first man place his foot on the back of his leg and he cried out as he was stepped on to make sure he couldn't get up now even with strength. Punishment was going to be harsh this time.

Nico had been enjoying a pleasent stroll after a hard day of cases and being a lawyer. He sipped his coffee and chewed his doughnut as he wondered along letting the world be itself. When he heard a loud comotion.
Looking towards it he headed over to it with curiosty. His eyes widened at the site of the cutest boy he'd ever seen. He frowned when the boy was knocked down. Time for Sharkman!! He ran foreward and punched the man while scooping up the cutie.

It took several minutes for Arthur to open his eyes and saw what had become of him. There was a tall man who had picked him up... This confused him. His hand reached up and touched Nico's chest, to make sure he wasn't dead, and this was in fact real.
'That's my slave you!' - the merchant roared as he got up 'Pay for him or butt out!'
Arthur winced as he tried to move, away from Nico, trying to get up and run but his body was too weak. 'Who wants a run away slave?' He thought to himself and closed his eyes.

Nico hoisted arthur up more slinging him over his shoulder and grinned down at the man. His freakishly sharp teeth adding more to his towering build. He moved closer and grinned more. "How much then." He petted arthur's back softly and grinned at the merchant more. "Come on...I don't have all day."

Arthur looked at the man looking horribly scared, he usually saw the best in people but right now he could only think of fear. The man wanted to buy him and Arthur was worried what he would do to him, he hadn't got great thoughts about his future.
The merchant looked at Nico oddly but spoke - '200 for him...'
'Is that all i'm worth?' Arthur thought to himself as he was patted on the back and it caused a small amount of pain run through him. |

Nico dug into his wallet and pulled out $300 handing it to the seller. "Now piss off." He said snarling. Once the guy had left. He placed Arthur down and checked him over. "You alright?" he asked as if he had just bumped into him in the street.
He then reached into his pocket. He passed the boy a glazed doughnut and passed it to the newly brought slave. "Hungry?" He grinned happily.

Arthur's knees buckled under his weight a little and he fell onto them. He was still panting hard from the running and the pain was giving him a head ache. He shook his head when he was asked a question because his voice wouldn't work as he wanted it to. He looked up at Nico with sweet eyes, he looked pained and scared still not knowing what to make of this man.
He looked at the food and his mouth watered more than he had never known it to before. He wanted to reach for it but he couldn't lift his arm. He couldn't do anything but fall backwards and sit there. |

Nico quick;y picked him up scooping him up. Holding him as if arthur was his bride. He smiled softly to advoid letting his teeth show and carried him to the car park. "Don't worry. We will be home soon." He petted the boy's curls with one hand and then fished for his keys finding them for the pretty looking bmw sat in the carpark.
Opening it with a button press he sat Arthur in the passenger seat and then inspected him over. "Where dose it hurt?" He asked softly seeming really caring again.

Arthur felt the soft seats beneath him and closed his eyes. It was the first piece of comfort he'd felt in rather a long time and it was blissful. He opened his eyes again and looked at Nico, a small smile came across his face, but his smile looked nervous as it always did. He looked down at himself and the tattered clothes he wore. He wasn't sure what this man had seen in him but he liked what he was hearing, he seemed to care.
Coughing slightly Arthur tried to get back his speech and it took a few minutes before he felt he could talk. "It hurts.... well... everywhere..." He breathed heavily for a second as he tried to move himself. "But my... my legs hurt a lot more than anywhere else."

He reached into the glove pocket of his car. He pulled out a packet of paracetamal. Handing two to the boy and a bottel of water. "Take these....they will sooth the pain." He said softly and petted his curls. "That and a hot bath." He stood gently closing the door and headed to the drivers seat.

Arthur lifted his hand to accept the two items he was given and with a very painful and loud gulp he drank the water with the pills down. After the initial taste Arthur made a grimace, the pills left a floury taste in his mouth that he wasn't too keen on. He watched Nico get into the drivers seat and he smiled a little fondly, but it looked nervous. His eyes began to close since they were so heavy and although he tried to keep them open he couldn't, he felt safe enough to sleep.

Nico smiled and gently drove off muting his cd player. He looked over to the boy he rescued and brought and smiled. He swear he must of been bipolar or something. He did things he didn't have any control over sometimes just for the pure heck of it.
Soon he pulled up to the beach side manor. Not far from his friends one floor mansion just up the street closer to the ocean. He pulled into the drive and got out walking round and carefully picked up the small boy. He carried the slave to a spare room he pulled the covers back and lay the boy down. Removing his shoes socks and trousers before tucking the little slave in. He then petted his hair and left the boy to sleep off the pain to reward him with a hot bath and food when he awakes.
