Back to the present: 1 year living with his uncle
Still waiting on his knees at the front of his uncle's door. He looked at the time, it was getting late, he was going to be late for school. He hesitantly knocked on the door, very quietly and slowly 3 knocks. His uncle came out and with an expected level of anger, "What do you want?!"
"um.. your breakfast is ready sir... um I need to head to school or I am going to be late.. sir"
Slap, his uncle hit Kyle with the back of his hand making Kyle fall to the side. Kyle cupped his right cheek but went back onto his kneeling position. He had learned to not make his uncle even more angrier then he is, he had gotten use to these random hits. He is just thankful it isn't the basement. He looked down and quietly whispered "thank you sir for teaching me how to be ... b..bbetter" Kyle said through his teeth with tears starting to build up. He calmed him self down and went back into his position.
His uncle smiled at the job that he had done, in just a years' time, he had trained his nephew into a perfectly submissive s1ave. He smiled down at the thin boy on his knees. He was proud of his work; he was proud of the damage he had caused Kyle. He was proud at how much he was able to break and train Kyle. It wasn't hard thought, Kyle was always quite and did what he was told, but his uncle thought he needed Kyle to be even more broken than the boy who showed up on his doorsteps, he had decided he was going to break Kyle's body and soul.
He had succeeded.
Since he took Kyle in, the monthly income had been really good to Dave. He had moved out of his tiny house and into a bigger and much nicer one in a wealthy community. The house he lived on had lots of land surrounding it.
He had decided to move when one day, his neighbor started to ask questions about the screaming and crying boy, that was annoying. Dave had to put a shock collar around Kyle until he was able to stop screaming every time Dave decided to have a little "fun". It took a few weeks, but Kyle was eventually able to keep his voice down.
But since the move, Dave had become a well-known member in the community he moved into. With Kyle's money, he had started to mangle with the wealthy and gotten himself a nice position as the CEO of a pharmaceutical company. He had a lot of connections and power now.
Because of his power and connections, no one ever questioned him. Everyone all view him as the big hearted man that decided to take in his brother's son and raise him as his own. He had also spread lies about Kyle, making everyone think Kyle was a troubled kid that would runaway for days, sometimes weeks and get into fights.
But that was far from the truth, every time Dave beat Kyle pass his limits or the bruises would raise questions, or if Dave wanted to continuously torture Kyle for a period of time. Dave would make up lies about how his nephew ran away again or he had found drugs (that he planted) in his bedroom. Every time, the towns people believed Dave. They stayed away from Kyle, they told their kids to stay away from Kyle.
Not that Kyle made any friends at NeverFall High, but with all his uncles lies, no one liked him or associated themselves with him. They don't hate him, but he has gotten a bad reputation as a runaway drug addict. The constant bruises on his body made him into a kid that would get into fights, but on one looked at his body, the body that held the truth to his scars, no one saw how malnutrition he was, no one wondered why he always wore the same few pairs of clothing. No one wondered why he never had books or why he hadn't gotten a new backpack since his old one has been falling apart. No one saw the pain in his eyes. No one cared...
