(A Silver and Zero production) Fallen

[Maero]

D was not very good at talking, this thought donned on Rena as she listened to him try to make her feel better. First he brought up her indecent, along with all the painful memories and miserable thoughts that had just been background static until then. He also went on to mention how his own pains would heal over while hers were permanent and irreversible, a reminder of things she would rather not be reminded of.

She gave him a weak little smile when he placed a hand on her shoulder, secretly hoping he would stop. The last thing she wanted was to have a replay of what had happened earlier that day in front of D. And for a moment she thought he might, and smiled a little more at his ideas, though partying or celebrating was not something she really felt like doing. The victory was theirs, not hers. They had escaped, and would live to see many more years of their lives. Rena, on the other hand, had lost to much to call the escape a victory.

Her home was gone, along with a great portion of her self esteem. She had been unable to defend even her home, with all her abilities, all her training and ancestry, she was unable to do anything aside from get kidnapped.

She had lost her honor and virginity as well, and the pain from just that was almost to intense to bear. She had wanted to be a wed a virgin, like her mother and grandmother before her, but that was no longer possible. And she had not even lost it to a man or special person, but to a demon, a hell spawn! And the worst part of it all was that he had truly defeated her, broken her in the small amount of time he had her. She had cried shamelessly and begged for mercy, and even said...horrible, horrible things to make him stop, all for his amusement.

But all these things could, perhaps one day be overcome with therapy, friends and time...time she no longer had. Probably her most devastating loss, her life span had been reduced from perhaps a hundred years, to thirty if she was lucky. So much of her life was gone, she didnt even know where to start picking up the pieces and where to start making new ones, or whether she should bother at all.

D topped it all off with an apology directed at his earlier comment about him being more attracted to Aurora then to her. Rena hardly remembered it at this point and nodded her head listlessly as she accepted the apology. "Im sorry D, Im still a bit tired from everything." She said with a false smile and sigh. "Is there a spar room where I can rest undisturbed? I just feel like having some time to...think things over by myself." In truth she was just looking for a place where she could weep in solitude, and was doing her best to hold back the avalanche of pain being held at bay behind her smile.
