Me & You (girlxgirl)

Chapter Seven - Just Give Me A Reason

I glanced around nervously as we boarded the ship. Mariah clutched onto my hand tightly. Her breathing rate was fast and heavy. I could tell she was nervous. I wanted to wrap her in a bear hug but I had to contain myself. After all, I already looked weird enough, since I am currently shoeless.

"Tickets are a tenner, Mam" I fumbled in my pockets trying to find the right change. Eventually I did and I handed it over, my hands were shaking. He gave me a funny look but graciously accepted the money and thrust a pair of tickets at us.

Mariah took them and wrapped a hand around my shoulder. We began to ascend the short staircase. We sat down on a bench at the top, cuddled up to keep warm. "So, what now?" Mariah questioned. I inhaled deeply and forced myself to think. What now? Two words but such a big question. The both of us are on a ship to Northern Ireland with no real clue where to stay. I'm being chased by assassin's and the government. As well as us being permanently scarred because of our perverted fake father.

"I'm hoping for divine inspiration, babe" I replied sighing. We gazed out at the big blue sea. In reality we are only little blips in the world. We don't make an impact on anyone except ourselves. 

I nuzzled my head onto her shoulder and she wrapped her hands around my waist. We stayed like that for a while. Peaceful and loving. That was until.

Someone wrapped a hand around my mouth while at the same time undoing my bra. Paul? No he's not that fast. The person removed their hands and I thought they were going to let us go until I felt a gag being shoved into my mouth. I couldn't breathe through my mouth anymore. Then I heard someone hiss in my ear "You missed the sparty. Now lets have some fun" 

I shook my head nervously. Oh shit. How does a person forget something like that? The sex party or sparty. Now they are going to do so much worse. Raped twice in one day. Is that like a record or something?

I looked over at Mariah. They were already on her. I let out a screech and promptly kicked my guy in the balls. How dare they! He was on me in a flash and had me shoved to the ground. I scrambled and struggled as much as I could but it was no use. He had me caught. I saw another figure entering our scene of mass terror. He placed a hand on my dudes shoulder and whispered something in his ear. Then the guy promptly got off me and the new mysterious boy started grinding himself against me. I flapped my arms around as much as I could. He held them down and whispered "No, stop. I'm trying to help. Just play along for a minute okay?" What else could I do but follow his orders. Its not like I was going anywhere if I didn't. So I relaxed my hands and let him do what he needed to. It wasn't that bad. I mean, he was pretty fit. What am I saying? I love Mariah. This is just sex or rape, whatever. It didn't hurt anymore. His actions were gentle.

He lay his head near my hear and started whispering orders "In a minute I will undo your gag. You will lay here. Don't move a muscle. Then my friend will let Mariah up and you will both run off this ship into the forest and you will wait for me. Understand?" I nodded even though I had no intention of waiting for him. Then he slid his hand up my back. "Fuck" He cursed under his breath. "Your bra just cut me." I snorted despite everything. I felt him re tie it. "You can thank me for that later" He muttered.  Then he undid the gag and rolled off me. I glanced over at Mariah and she winked at me. I nodded seriously.

They let Mariah loose and she ran towards me. We sprinted off the boat as a fight broke loose between the rapists and the mysterious guy. "Are you okay?" Mariah asked. I nodded as I dragged her behind a bush. We continued rushing on.

"Oh my fudge. We are lucky chicks" Mariah exclaimed. I rolled my eyes "Mariah babe, we just got raped. My shoes are somewhere in England and we are currently lost in Northern Ireland. Call that lucky?"  She turned my body to face the other way. I screamed. "OHMYGOD YAY!"   A cottage was in the middle of the forest just waiting for us to find it. It might not be the safest but I honestly didn't care. It would be better than staying here in the cold.

I sprinted off towards it, Mariah in tow. She  laughed at my eagerness as I knocked hard on the door.  An old woman opened it. She looked bewildered and slightly scared at the sight of us. I smiled re-reassuringly. "I'm sorry ma-am but we're slightly lost and we were looking for a place to stay?"

She snorted and ushered us in. "Well girls, if you're out here at night then you're definitely lost." She looked at me with a horrified expression "Young lady where on earth are your shoes?" I looked down at my feet awkwardly and replied "My heel broke"  She tutted and walked out of the room. She returned with a pair of fluffy slippers and I gasped. I wrapped the woman in a tight hug. She stumbled at the unexpected display of affection.

There was a clicking of a lock and I heard a deep cough behind us. "I'm glad you're getting along with my Mom" I turned around to come face to face with the dancer from the ball but his voice was familiar as well. Then it occurred to me."You.me.. save.. what?" I stuttered with my words and pointed fingers randomly. He raised his eyebrows and curtly replied "Sorry? Mom, could I have a cup of tea?" She smiled lovingly at her son and headed towards the kitchen. Once she turned her back he spoke "Yes, I was at the ball. Yes I saved your asses and if you don't believe me look" 

He held up his left hand and there was the scar he had received from my bra strap. I swallowed a giggle and nodded. "I believe you"  He smiled and gestured for us to sit down on the couch. We did so and he sat down on the armchair opposite us. He rested his elbows on his knee's and began to speak in a hushed voice "I'm a spy from the para military young recruits of Ireland. We watch over teenagers who are in severe danger such as you" He glanced up at me and continued "You shouldn't know who I am but seeing as you're staying in my house I guess you would have figured it out but Casey they are hot on your heels. They know your every move. They know where you are right now. They are just waiting for the right time to come get you."

I inhaled deeply and clutched Mariah's hand. She was very queit since he arrived.

"We don't know who their source is but we will find out and when we do they will be punished."

He got up and walked to the stairs before turning around and whispering "Don't trust anyone, Casey" and then he proceeded to ascend the carpeted stairs
