Ten didn't know why they'd stopped, he was unsure if they were there yet or not. It couldn't be. The journey time wasn't that long, surely they couldn't be that dumb. And, like that, he was yanked out of the care and manhandled like some common loser. He grunted in pain and flailed, trying to kick his leg back subtly and hit this son of a bitch.

It didn't work well and he just ducked his head, gasping in pain as Hobi gripped him harder. He slid into the trunk and curled into himself, breathing hard.

Fuck. Was he actually going to die?
