Broken Love FanFic

The Meeting

 Mayu staggered on her feet. The beatings were far worse than they had used to be, and her body was starting to give out on her. She needed to get away from Joe. Her memories were a bit fuzzy, but she remembered coming home from work only to be slammed to the floor. He had broken into her home, but how long had she been held hostage for? Not happy with the memory gaps, Mayu tried to stay steady on her feet so she could make her escape. If she didn't, she was going to die here at the hands of a horrible man. Not hearing anything, Mayu moved her feet. Little by little, she was able to make it to her bedroom window. Holding her side, she took jagged breaths.

"I can do this," she whispered to herself.

Taking a moment to breathe, Mayu climbed out her window only to fall from it. She was only five foot three and was injured. The drop hurt enough to leave her lying there for a long while. Sitting up, she felt an odd sensation hit her body. Thinking it was the injures and possible blood loss Mayu shook off the feeling. Getting to her feet, using the house as support, she was able to stand. Struggling to breathe from whatever Joe had done to her chest and abdomen, she moved away from the house in hopes of getting away before he could find her.

Mayu made good tracks away from the house and into the nearby forest. However, her body was starting to slow down and tell her it was done. Giving into her body, Mayu leaned back on a tree to slide down to the dirt. She could taste the blood in her mouth. Everything felt like it was on fire. How was she going to survive this? Darkness was slowly creeping in. She could vaguely feel an odd shift in the wind around her before everything went dark.

Taking a walk through the forest after coming back from getting snacks, Zyggy stumbled upon a woman propped up by a large tree. Upon getting closer, it was clear she was injured. Panic set in as he looked closer to see blood dripping from her mouth. Red stained her skin and clothing showing she had far more injuries. Seeing the blood caused Zyggy to retreat, letting his dark half Dark Zyggy come forward. He grew in size and muscle mass. Kneeling near the woman, he checked her to see if she was still breathing. Seeing her chest lift and fall let him know she was alive but was struggling. Anger started to bubble up from seeing the woman's cuts and bruised face. It was clear she had been beaten at some point. Dz gently lifted her into his arms, not wanting to leave the woman alone. She made a slight pained sound causing him to freeze for a moment. Not seeing her wake or cry, he began walking away, taking her into the Land of Ishness just to get her out of the open. Stepping into the other world caused her to suddenly transform. Her hair, clothing, and body size all shifted just like he did.

"Well, that is odd," Zyggy said from within when the open cuts began healing.

Dz watched as the woman in his arms healed. Trying to think of a place to take her for a short while, he began walking the dark forest. He did find her in the woods. Should he take her to host? No, that would be problematic if he did that. Not really knowing what to do other than make sure Jester didn't find her, he came to a stop when she began moving. Looking down, he saw her eyes wide open they were almost white from the light colors, but he could make out the pastel flashes. Freezing in place, unable to put her down or anything.

"Umm...who are you, and where have you taken me," she asked, her voice was soft yet filled with strength.

"I'm Dz. I found you injured and was taking you somewhere safer," he answered. The way she looked at him made him answer her question without hesitation. Why on earth did he just respond to her so fast? Just from a single look should not have had him answering like that.

The woman looked at him before she closed her eyes " I think I am okay to stand on my own now," she muttered.

Dz was happy to put her back on the ground. Making sure she was steady, he stepped back a good arm's length away from her. She was wearing a white dress with rainbow colors on the bottom in faded pastels, with no shoes. Before, she was wearing ripped jeans and a t-shirt. Crossing his arms, Dz stared at her for a moment. She seemed confused now. She was not only looking down at herself but around her as well. She didn't seem to be freaking out or anything but carefully examined her surroundings and herself. When she was done, she looked at him again.
