The Mermaids' Mate

Chapter 53

WARNING!! RAPE ABUSE DRUGS AND MISCARRIAGE!!!!

~Damien POV~

Where are we? I asked Dante as I looked around a strange dark room. It was so dark even I couldn't see. The lights switch on, and I found myself staring at Nexy. But she looked younger, way younger. She was sitting on the edge of a bed, wearing an oversized t-shirt staring at the floor. I looked around the room, trying to figure out where she was, when I realized this was a guy's room. Bryan's room?

Is this one of Nexy's memories? Asked Dante. We were unsure how she was able to show us this. I heard the shower turn off, and Nexy looked up and stared at the bathroom door. I could feel how terrified she was. The door opened, and Bryan came with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Not bad for your first time, huh?" Bryan said, walking up to her. She looked up at him with fear in her eyes. I wanted to protect her, but I couldn't move. I could only stand here and watch. He grabbed a fistful of her hair and pulled her off the bed.

"Let me go! You're hurting me, Bryan!" She cried out, but her cries fell on empty ears.

"You are such a fucking whore!" He threw her hard on the floor. "Look what you did! You made a fucking mess!" He pointed at the spot on the bed where she sat. There were traces of blood.

"I'm s-sorry," I begged, which earned her a hard slap.

He hit her? That fucking piece of shit hit her! Dante yelled. She never told us he hit her, but then again. She never told us anything. Only Amy and Melissa knew.

He grabbed her by the arm and dragged her to the bathroom. She tried fighting him off, but she wasn't any match for him. "You disgusting fucking whore!" He shouted, throwing her on the bathroom floor. "Get yourself cleaned up! And when you're done, you're going to clean the fucking mess you made on my fucking bed!"

"I-I'm sorry!" She cried, shielding herself from his kicks. "I'm so sorry!" She begged repeatedly.

"You stupid, clumsy whore!" He would shout at her as he kicked her.

Stupid, clumsy whore. Those were Tasha's words to Nexy when she spilled the glass of water on me. That's what caused her panic attack that day. That's why she kept apologizing and crying. She remembered Byran.

He's hurting her! Dante whimpered, covering his face with his paws.

I can't look. I closed my eyes, but I could still hear everything. Every blow. Every kick. Every whimper came out of her. And what made it worse, I could feel everything she was feeling.

After a few minutes, everything went quiet. I opened my eyes, and I was standing in a different bathroom. It was smaller than Bryan's bathroom. Most likely her apartment bathroom in Ohio. I recognized the same lotion she still uses on the shelf and her dad's razor products. The door opened, and Nexy walked in. I watched as she undressed herself and turned the water on. Bruises covered her lower body, mostly on her stomach and legs. She stared at herself in the mirror tracing the bruises, flinching from pain as her finger ran across them. This memory was probably the day after. Her bruises looked fresh but were starting to heal. She was a fast healer, after all.

Once the tub was filled with water, she got in and crawled into a ball completely submerged underwater.

She's in pain. Dante whimpered as we watched her cry silently.

She's in a lot of pain. I muttered as everything turned black again.

I opened my eyes and was now in school, walking behind her and some girl.
