Act XI
TW: this scene contains graphic content
Aris: oh okay? be cool then?
dom: fuck does that mean huh?
*He knocks over the bottles on the table angrily and she backs up from him, nervously shaking. Looking around as if everyone was watching them like a show instead of intervening*
dom: PICK IT UP. THAT YOUR JOB INNIT?
Aris: i.. i dont.. work in conditions like this..
She makes a face and turns to walk away, he grabs her arm forcefully.
Aris: hey!
She hits him and Dom looks there stunned.
Dom: ...did this WHORE just-
He backslaps Aris to the ground with all his force. She flinches closing her eyes and her whole body goes numb. She opens her eyes and looks around feeling outnumbered as they gather. She could see their demons filling the room one by one.
Aris: ...whaaaa...what are you guys gonna do..
Nothing is being said to her, just looks around at eachother. Dom gets on top of her, holding her down by her arms. Aris is scared, but can barely move.
Aris: please dont do this, im sorry
*a tear drop rolls out her eye*
dom: shhhh.
*he puts his fingers over her mouth*
dom: your safe here
The screams of no and stop leave her mouth, but everyone was deaf. They block out the noise shes making for their own desires taking turns covering her mouth. She jumps out her body during the whole experience, she watches them all use her like a barbie doll. Her tears dry up and the horror eventually leaves her face...after awhile it felt like nothing at all to her.
A long bang erupts and all she can hear is yelling. She went deaf also as it just sounded like loud ramblings to her. The group disperse, and Astro comes up and takes her out of the room bridal style.
next day
Aris has a bad headache, shes terrified to leave bed. Astro isn't beside her. She wants someone to hold her. He walks in moments later with food, she doesn't look up at him, she stays on her phone, scrolling.
astro: ever had pho?
Aris: once.
astro: well its hot, you better eat & i got you some hot sweet peach tea, got my mum to make it for you *he smiles*
Aris: *she yawns* rather go home
astro: .....eat first...yea?
Aris: na. not hungry
Aris stays in bed for three days, changing positions. She didn't eat, and couldn't sleep, having constant flashbacks from the other night thinking to herself how it escalated so quickly. She thought they liked her and she just wanted to have a good time. She keeps wondering what she could've done to stop it.
She wakes in an empty field at night surrounded by white daisies, she hears birds chirping and fire flies flying around her. one lands in her hand and all the daisies turn dark. they all turn to fire instantly, and she screams out but realises she's not burning, she looks at her hands, she's on fire, but it doesn't burn. it feels chaotic and uncomfortable. all the noise stops, it's completely silent, like a pause in time. nothing is moving anymore. she feels completely peaceful, her heart is feeling floaty and light, it doesn't hurt anymore. A completely white being appears directly in front of her, it surprises her. She's startled, but not frightened, as the being is faceless as it begins to communicate with her.
: are you okay?
*she nods*
: it's okay not to be okay
: i'm sorry you experienced that
: it's okay to take a break
Aris: what else is out here for me?
: a new name, new identity, you can come back when your ready
Aris: i'd just have to start all over
: touch me and we will start all over..
Aris: i'm attached to this place i don't wanna start over IM FINE.
: sorry to upset you, you called for me, take care of yourself, i don't wanna be forced to take you with me
Aris: i'm sorry, i'm not okay. i'm just numb.
: just let me know if you need a break
Aris: who are you?
: you must not recognize me in this form, but you know me well and i know you.
She wakes up to see her pillow, flooded with tears. she gets in the shower letting the hot water run down her back for an hour, she gets annoyed and turns it to cold as she didn't feel any better. She refuses to look in the mirror, she knew she wouldn't recognize who she saw. she dyes her hair angrily
She receives a DM from her cousin. Hes been texting and calling, but she finally decides to check it.

Astro brings food up distracting her from her phone, and just like yesterday she looks at the food and didn't eat, he sees the food got cold when he comes to check on her.
astro: come on little one, you gotta eat
Aris: dont call me that....im not hungry

Aris: ... I CAN SPEAK. *she raises her voice.* i choose not to...my parents want me to come home, they're gonna get me a flight

Aris: fuck you..they just didn't understand me...
astro: oh? but i understand you
*he gets closer looking her in her eyes*
Aris: fuck off!
*She starts to cry after holding it back with all her might, he holds her*
astro: you really believe i don't understand?
*he says looking down at her in his arms*
Aris: HOW COULD YOU?
*she pushes him off forcefully and he loses his balance a little, he controls himself and breathes before speaking again*
Astro:..ive been getting fucked by life before you were even born little gyal
Aris: so? that makes it okay

she knocks over his lamp and it breaks. she gets up and starts walking away.
astro: ..let me take you out, a sacred spot
Aris rolls her eyes.
Aris: im not going anywhere with you.
astro: you wanna see this, come on
Aris: no!
He grabs her and she resists.
