[Condar, Betazed 2407]
"Why does it matter?" Andrus asked his face tear stained.
"Listen, I need to know if you are Andrus Morganth," the unfamiliar voice asked.
"Yes I am why?" Andrus asked, the bright light still shining in his face.
"You will come with me please."
"No, no I will not," he responded defiantly to the man quickly sliding the knife into his pocket.
"What did you just say to me?" the man asked.
"I told you, I will not come with you!"
"Look kid, we can do this the hard way or the easy way. Which ever way you decide is on you."
"I am not coming with you!" Andrus responded, his voice raising an octave. He heard another pair of feet approach where he was, as the other person came closer Andrus stood up and attempted to run but was detained by two sets of hands, "No! Let me go!" Andrus screamed again, his voice changing octaves.
They managed to get him on the ground face first, the knife dangerously close to stabbing his leg. As they gripped one arm behind his back, they forcefully brought the other one back and noted the cuts. Andrus was screaming at them to let him go, but it fell on deaf ears. They used a restraining device on his wrists and brought up to a standing position. Dirt, leaves, and other such decayed items adorned his frontside.
"You know boy, you could have made this easy. Yet, you decided to make it hard. So now look at you, dirty. Hell might as well be the dirt that I walk on." The man teased Andrus before remembering the cuts, he leaned in closer to Andrus' ear and whispered, "Yes you will do the universe a favor. Next time boy, cut deeper."
Andrus' body was shaking with fear, contempt, pain, and hurt as the two men escorted him back to his families house. Once there they waited for Andrus' parents to answer the door. Ironically neither of them looked like they had done much crying or worrying.
"Thank you Officer for bringing back my boy." Jemma said ignoring the fact her son was in restraints.
"Was my pleasure Miss Morganth, Mister Morganth." The officer said with a nod before removing the restraints he placed a hand on Andrus' shoulder and squeezed. "Now, remember what I told you boy," he let go and released them. Andrus shoved his hands into his pockets and ran into the house.
He knew what was coming and stood in foyer waiting on his parents to finish talking to the officer. His wound had started to scab over. Around ten minutes later both his parents came in, he didn't wait for them to talk.
"I heard what you said to Miss Hagen!" He yelled, and the next thing he felt was a powerful force connecting to his face before everything went dark.
