Flashback

Tortured screams could be heard, if anyone cared to listen, echoing off hollow walls. A cruel, sinister voice can be heard tormenting the victim. All the hallways are shrouded in darkness except for a slithe of light reflected from the crack in a living room doorway. A small figure is hunched over by a fireplace the embers flickering onto a bare, slashed back. A savage looking man with a malign grin is posed behind the figure with a lethal looking whip as if readying for another strike to the already blood oozing flesh. The hand holding the whip was gripping it with expertise as if the person has used it frequently on the figure keeling on the ground before him testament ot the fact of faded scars littered all over the youger ones back in an obscene pattern which didn't seemed to end on just the exposed flesh. "Life is pain, pain is life. You will know none of this. You will not feel or show any emotion when I am through with you. You will become my perfect heir, working ruthlessly and effortlessly through any oppositon. If you obey my every order, everything will run smoothly but if you don't your brother will have to endure the training you have to suffer. Do you understan Seto?" The threat is whispered dangerously. There came no answer from the still form. In a flash another slash mark joins its brothers on the blemished skin. A yell tears itself from Seto's throat which cracks halfway through. "I said do you understand me?" The man repeats angrily. A pained gasp escapes Seto's throat as he is kicked in the side as if to emphasise the mans words. A croaky voice whispers as if the owner is at his breaking point. The embers of the fire making him cringe at every flicker of flame escaping out of the fireplace as he tried to speak over the overwhelming pain coercing through his body. "Yes... Gozabura." He managed to gasp out through cracked lips.
