I woke up when my head was banged against something metal, my eyes flew open and I let out a tight gasp in pain, I looked around to see people I hadn't met in my life standing around me, I begun to panic and tried to get up but I was unable to move my arms and feet very far, I looked down to see they were bounded by leather cuffs that were attached chains, I started to trash and tried my best to get away only to stop when someone grabbed my face and slammed my head back on the metal table I was lying on, I yelped in pain and felt tears fill my eyes, the same person grabbed my jaw and made me look at them.

My brown eyes met their dark orbs and I instantly recognized the person, it was the man that had came to our class and held all of us hostage, he was the one that beat our teacher, he was the one that threatened and Hurt Miu physically and there was nothing I could do about it, he was the man that made me kneel down for hours in order to keep Miu alive and then went on to cause me a pain I had never felt in my life when Daiki tried to stand up for me and then he was the person that forced me to reveal my true identity in order to save another student and just looking into his eyes made me feel frightened caused me to want to curl into a ball and never move.

"It's good to see you recognized me, I have to admit I was a bit worried that your memories would be toast, because one of the side effects for the drug I used to put you to sleep was memory loss and if you had lost your memory then I wouldn't have been able to tell you what I wanted to." I watched as he pulled a chair and signal the other person's to leave the room, I watched as they walked away and shut the door behind them then my eyes went back to the man that sat there staring at me intently.

"My name is Katsu" I gave him a puzzling look why would he tell me his name was he insane, he laughed and shook his head "don't give me such a strange look, I'm just telling you my name because we seem to be in a bit of a pickle, it seemed the dosage for the drug I gave you was a bit too high so you were asleep for a little over twelve hours and in that time a lot has happened, so I wanna tell you everything so as you understand fully why I'm about to do these things to you."

I just stared at him with wide eyes and he sighed "Of course after I knocked you out we were able to get out the school and your friends were able to get back to their parents, of course that's where everything took a turn for the worst." he paused for a second and I could see his body tensing until he released a sigh "you know I thought the king would be a smart and trustworthy person, I thought that he would be very protective of his children, but I guess I over estimated the man, apparently he doesn't care for your life and well being, he doesn't care if you live, if you die or if I use you as a way to get back at him for what he sis to my people."

I gave him a puzzling look and he sighed "I honestly thought having you as a prisoner would bring security for my people but I was wrong, having you made everything worse than what it would be if we had escaped and left you with your friends, do you want me to tell you what happened to my people after we escaped safely?" I just stared at him not sure whether I should say yes or no, he stood up and went to a table, picked up a book and came back to me "It doesn't matter if you answer or not because I'm going to tell you, so when I start to return the favor you won't hate me after all the son must pay for the sins of the father, so what goes on after we're finished talking you only have your father to blame for it."

It was as if fear just shot through my body and froze me solid, I didn't know my father personally but it said over the news that he was a brutal man when it came to punishing his citizens to keeps them in line so people would not repeat that person's mistake, before I realized it tears had pooled in my eyes and was running down the side of my face, the man reached for my face and I moved to pull away only to have him grab my face, he was being more gentle than before but I felt more afraid of him than I did in that classroom, he reached his other hand and used it to wipe my tears giving me a sad smile.

He moved away and just looked down at his lap "The reason we had held your class hostage in the first place was because we knew elite children of top families would be in there and your parents would do anything to get you back, we had no idea you were in there in fact no one even knew which school you were in, almost everything about the King's first born Son and Daughter was public knowledge, their likes ,dislikes what work they were doing, where they were going and coming from even the poppers knew this but for the rest of you, all we ever knew was that you were born and that you were the king's children but a few years after your birth you vanish like tin air and it's like you don't even exist, and I guess I understand that, your father wanted to give you a normal life a life you couldn't get if you were known children of the king, but it was also stupid."

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

I just stared at him blankly with tears still running down the sides of my face "It was stupid to think that something wouldn't happen to you if you were hidden, it put you in more danger because even if you were close to people they wouldn't fight to protect you like they should, I truly feel sorry for you all but you most of all, you're just really unfortunate." he chuckled and raised his head to look at me and the anger he had on his face made me shoot back only to be held in place by the chains "I just ran my mouth and didn't tell you the reason we took your class hostage, but that aside, the reason was because your father had imprisoned some people I held dear to me and I wanted to get them back, I also wanted to be able to provide for them so they wouldn't have to go into the public and be taken from me again, but like I said taking you only caused them pain, it brought them death, your father used us taking you as an excuse to show his true colors."

"The laws in this country is beyond ridiculous, it's as if we're still living in the stone age while the rest of the world runs away from us, My brother was locked away because of a ridiculous law that said he couldn't love who he wanted, it had to be of the opposite sex or he would be locked away, my brother thought that the person he loved and himself could be happy if it were only in secret, but someone told on him and then next day my brother was dragged down the streets in nothing but a ripped shirt and then thrown into a pen so he could be transported to the prison, the person he loved, my childhood friend was beaten and then taken away and I could't do nothing but watch."

"My sister was a kind curious girl who only loved to experience different things and the things she wanted to learn and devote herself to were seen as horrible things for a Lady to try and learn so she was sent away to some reform school for women like her and every time she wrote to me I just wanted to break into that place and take my sister away from there but once again I couldn't and then her letters begun to get smaller and smaller until she just stopped writing to me all together, they broke my sister and then assigned her to be married off to someone neither of us knew."

"So many of my friends, family and so many other people were locked away simply because the things they enjoyed to do was taboo, many good people suffered because of those stupid laws and all I wanted was to get them back, I needed to get them back, even if they had to stay hidden for the rest of their lives I would have preferred to have them by my side happy and healthy." I could hear the pain in his voice as he spoke "I arranged for them to be released and sent to places where we would be able to pick them up, I arranged for money to be dropped at certain locations for food clothing and everything was going so well until I got cocky and told them I had you, they let us get away and when we reached, no one else came then I looked on the news and my heart stopped."

"My sister, my baby sister a girl I've known since the day she was born, was stripped naked and thrown into the streets those people took advantage of her, she was beaten and raped and no one tried to help her then they just left her in the streets to die, my brother was treated much worse than that, someone actually posted a video of him being beaten to death, I could still hear his screams and I could do nothing about it, do I even have to tell you what happened to the rest of the people I wanted to save, one of us was able to get to my sister but now she's nothing but an empty shell, just sitting in a corner of her room saying and doing nothing!" I watched as he dropped to the ground and started sobbing, I just stared at hi unable to do or say anything, but I understood, I wouldn't be leaving this room alive and my death was going to be painful.

  All I could think was that I didn't want to suffer, I didn't want to feel pain, I didn't want to die, I didn't want the blame for what these people did to his people, I didn't want to be blamed for the actions of my father, I just wanted to go home to my mother and forget this ever happened, my body moved on it's own, the tears poured down my face and I sobbed as I begged him to forgive them, I begged him to not hurt me I screamed that I wanted to go home, that I wouldn't tell anyone anything about him, where he was, who he was what he looked like, I told him I would forget everything, but he just stood up held me face and whispered that it was too late and I had to face the consequences and all I could do was cry.
