"It stares you in the face everyday cause you read it." The boy was too simple minded. "You have a requirement to meet." He straitened out. "You'll stay in that tub till you come up with the right answer." Arc had gotten sick of Jake's lack of studying. The boy had only two and a half more years before graduation.

"Oh, right, I have to study," Jake muttered. "Why does it matter to you anyway?" The last sentence just jumped right out of his mouth before he could stop it, but he was quite irritated right now. Arc did hate him, so why did he care about whether the servant met any requirements at all?

Arc left the room and lit both incense, he came back and gripped Jake by the collar front. Pulling him from the bath. Arc was so angry, we was about to shift, it took every will to calm the dog inside of him. He stripped the boy of his cloths, rather the incense had taken effect or not, Arc let him scream in pain into the floor.

Jake hardly had the time to understand what was happening when suddenly he felt his clothes practically being ripped from his body and something like a knife shot searing pain through it. The sudden attack forced a agonized scream out of him. The pain was so near to unbearable that he thought he was going to die at any moment. In fact, he had just seen his life flashing before his eyes before everything turned black.

Arc gave hard heavy breathes when he finished. "Useless." He went to the balcony and morphed, taking flight as he finished. The boy had learned not to talk back to him.

Jake woke up probably a few hours later, feeling as if he had been stung by many needles. At first, he wondered what had happened, but then everything came back to him. He stared up at the ceiling, realizing that it was that this wasn't the first time it had happened. This must be the cause of the pain he had had in the mornings before.
The servant's eyes widened and he shuddered in horror. Of all the tortures Arc had inflicted upon him, this must be the worst. And what had Jake done to deserve it? What had he done to deserve anything that was a result of Arc's hatred?

Arc had landed miles away in a forest, pacing out his left over aggression. He looked up to see a falcon land on a nearby branch. "Sorry." It was the female he had invited on a date. "These, well, didn't want to frighten you with them." He shook his mane in frustration.

With movement being so painful, of course it would be a struggle for Jake to even get off the floor and stand on his own. The red fluid on the ground was probably his blood, which still dripped even now. Besides the muscle pain, his throat was raw and sore from screaming, and he wouldn't be surprised if he had lost his voice as well. From what could be the sound of snapping twigs, he was sure that his wings were twisted and possibly broken as well.

He talked with the female, he was calmer, Jake far from his mind. After a couple hours, he bid farewell and went home. Lighting on the balcony and shifting back but focused on keeping his wings. It worked. He strolled in, the angel leaning against the back of the couch didn't alarm him. He picked up the limp and unconscious thing. Again, Jake reminded him of the plush animal he once had.
He doctored him and put him on the couch, placing a blanket over Jake.

Jake vaguely felt something being spread over him, and he flinched, trembling terribly. He let out a small, uncontrolled whimper as he stirred. Opening his eyes, he was only a little surprised to see Arc, but just dismissed him as only an illusion. It was silly to think the man would care about him right now.
"I'm sorry..." the servant muttered, only half-awake. "Whatever I did, I'm sorry." He felt ridiculous, talking to what he believed was an illusion, but he could never say this to the real Arc.

Arc sat on a chair across from Jake, a book open for his own enjoyment in his lap. He listened to Jake in his delirious state but his heart was cold and hard. He found no soothing words to say to him. He had forgotten about how to be compassionate to him and he liked it that way. The boy did intrude into his life and stole the only family Arc had left.

The illusion didn't answer, and Jake didn't expect it to. Tiredly, he slept, wanting to just be at peace even if only for a little while. At least there was no school tomorrow.
Jake wondered how he was still alive, and he was starting to wonder if dying would give him freedom. No one would miss him anyway. His own family abandoned him with hardly a goodbye; his owner practically treated him like dirt, if not worse; and it seemed that nothing was going to change. Surely this wasn't a life worth living for.

Arc had fallen asleep in the chair, head leaning forward a bit and to the side as the book sat open to the last page he read in his lap. The boy was up earlier then usual.

After he woke up, Jake made his way to the bathroom with great difficulty. He might as well take a shower, just to feel a little clean. As his clothes were dirty and unfit to wear, perhaps because of yesterday's attack, he had to settle for wearing pajamas.
The shower was quick and only slightly soothing, but he would have to deal with it. After he was decent, he left the bathroom and began studying. He couldn't go back to sleep, but he couldn't just sit around and wait for everyone to wake up.

Arc rubbed an eye with a yawn. He stood to get dressed when he remembered that it was a company holiday, all the franchise's were closed and only a few bothered to answer the call's coming in. He plopped himself back down in the chair but he wasn't going to let himself forget to jog in the morning.
