Prologue: Home at Last

He was where he belonged after four years though the wiry sixteen-year-old feels like a foreigner in his own home. Pain filled gray eyes stare around the room he hadn't seen since he was twelve. He reaches up and pushes his long red hair behind his ears. "Alexi, are you all right?" his mother asks quietly from the doorway where she has been watching him ever since the police brought him home.

"No," he answers without looking at her. He wasn't okay and he knows he's never going to be okay. His mom walks up and touches his shoulders and he wrenches away almost violently. His gray eyes are wide and panicked.

"Calm down, Alexi. It's just me," she tells him softly. He puts a few feet between them and watches her warily. He feels slightly embarrassed that he was reacting so violently to the most innocent of touches. "I'm making hamburgers for dinner. How many would you like?"

One is fine," he answers absently.

"You're too thin, Alexi," she says eyeing his thin frame.

"And that's my fault how?" he snaps whirling around, "What do you expect mom? The man only let me eat his fucking semen!"

"Alexi!" his mother exclaims covering her mouth, her eyes widened in horror.

"What? Why can't I speak honestly about what happened?" he demands.

"Don't do it like that, Alexi. I can't bear hearing that," she says. Alexi clenches his fists and struggles to restrain his out of control emotions.

"Well, that is what happened, mother! Do you not what me to speak of it?" he demands. One look and he knows the answer to his question. An almost bitter smile crosses his face. "You know what, don't worry about it. Two burgers are just fine." He watches her leave the room without another word and sighs. It was obvious that neither of his parents were going to want to help him through this. He slowly sinks down onto his bed and closes his eyes trying to push away the knowledge that for the past four years he had been kidnapped and raped repeatedly by an older man. Hot tears fill his eyes as he loses the fight. He might be home but his ordeal is far from over…
