The Puppeteer Part 3

The Puppeteer - The pain of the past part 2

Zylen open his eyes.

He heard someone was whimpering. He saw the child, crying, laying his head on his chest. His trembling hand slowly pat the small boy, wishing it would comfort him. Cackling noise echoes. He was chained..

The child flinched when he was patted, he raise his head and plead ".. hungry.."

And it shattered Zylen's broken heart

It was so sad to watch himself as a child suffered so much. He can't believe how much he have gone through when he was so young.. how much pain, the small body had to bear. How could his master abused him as a small child.

Zylen put down his arm right upon the boy "bite my arms.." he whispered. "Eat it.."

The child looked at him. Confused. Zylen bite his own arm, ripping his skin till it bleeds, small chunk of meat hanging out from his arm he shove his arm to the boy. "Eat.."

The big teary eyes was filled with water again. He was shock and started to cry. Laying down his head, grasping Zylen's pyjamas. He was scared.. "don't hurt..don't hurt yourself.."

Zylen's eyes widen

"Don't hurt.. stop hurt..yourself ..please..no more" the boy sobs

It was a message from his past self. Telling him to stop hurting himself. How many times Zylen had done it? Self harming his own injured body.. to satisfy his master.. to feed his pain.. to feed his hunger.. to save others in hunger..

..to punish himself

To see the small him, begging him not to do it make him realized.. he was so drown..trapped in so much darkness in his life.. leading him to his state that feels its normal to harm his own body.. whether for himself or for others..

And to see himself as a small innocent child begging him to stop even the small body was starving ..truly broke his heart

"Please..eat.." Zylen begged. But the small child keeps crying. Doesn't want him to hurt himself.

He can't believe it.. his past self.. doesn't want this.. he felt the guilt for what he have done..

Then he remember.. he have to do this to survive. The punishment for him now was different.. the beatings was more fatal.. the starvation is not something anyone care about him anymore. He saw his own blood..every single day. He was left alone for days even weeks. His master doesn't even care if he died in starvation or even blood lost..

What Zylen doesn't know, is how his master conflicted with his feelings about Zylen who he only want to treat as a slave and nothing else.

But he felt affection towards Zylen

And William hates it..

William separated himself with Zylen to get rid of the feeling, abusing him more and more, sending more clients for him to serve.. just like how he wanted to be.. a mere slave..and Zylen had no choice but to obey because of the baby he had in his master's clench.

In addition, William prepared a slave who could stand his torture, could stand being a sex slave to him and others.. William knows Zylen could survive .. its a gamble for him, whether Zylen die or not. If he survive William still have his toy, making money for him and serving him. If Zylen die.. it means Zylen is not an ideal slave for him.

But that doesn't stop William to wake up in the middle of the night in cold sweat, rushing down to check on his slave. And if Zylen was unconscious.. he would stroke his hand between his hair. Can't help his feelings about the slave who still love him. When in truth he's the only family Zylen had.. Zylen love him as a family. But his master took it otherwise. He wants him. He wants everything from the helpless slave.
