Aleene's Life

Chpt. 1 (The Burning in My Bones)

**TRIGGER WARNING FOR ATTEMPTED RAPE**

**IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO THIS KIND OF MATERIAL, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED**

*3 Years Later*

Aleene was in her room, reorganizing it. It had been two years since she last moved the furniture around, and it was time for it again. She dusted, vacuumed, sorted her clothes, etc. By the time she finished, she was exhausted. She laid down in her bed, turned the lamp off and closed her eyes to go to sleep. But she woke up because someone entered her room. She opened her eyes and looked towards the door, and to her dismay and terror, it was Basket.

"Hey baby, ready for more?", he asked, his smile was deceivingly kind, and many would fall for it, but not Aleene. She could see no compassion or care in his eyes. Only lust. Dangerous, heartbreaking lust, that was taken out on Aleene. "Basket please, I don't want to.", she begged, remembering the last few years of sexual harassment she took, him coming on to her, kissing her, because if she didn't, he would kill her daughters in front of her. She had no doubt in her mind that he would, for he reminded her of that every time he did this.

"You know what will happen if you don't.", he said, the fake smile still there. It was creepy. "I do know what will happen...", she said. "Good.", the gray cat said, and climbed on top of her, taking her clothes off, and then taking his off as well.

But what was going on did not go unheard. Maggie, Basket's wife and Aleene's sister, had seen Basket go into her room, but he wasn't coming out for some reason. So, she pressed her ear on the door, and what she heard, filled her with anger. Basket was kissing her sister! She loved him! She had born him a child! How dare he?! How dare her sister!?

Angrily, she slammed open the door, but what she saw, horrified her more than what she originally thought was happening. She had thought Basket was cheating on her with her sister, but it was so much more than that. She saw Basket, on top of Aleene, who was crying, and glad to see her, but was also visibly upset. Aleene had no part in this, she could see that now. Basket, her husband, had been hurting her sister. She felt it. The anger. Her claws unsheathed, her eyes began to glow bright yellow, and her eyes slit. She was the definition of angry. She was more than angry. She was livid.

"You. You. YOU. How dare you harm my sister?! I gave you a family you bastard! I gave you my heart! I gave you my trust! And you do this!?", she screeched, Basket desperately trying to find a way to get out of this in one piece. "No, baby, I can explain!", he said, still on top of Aleene. "DON'T CALL ME YOUR BABY! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!", she grabbed him and yanked him off of Aleene, her claws digging into his flesh, leaving deep, long and wide cuts on his arms, back and face. She kicked him. (yeah she kicked him there) She began to punch him in the face. She beat him until his eyes were swollen, he was missing teeth, and he had blood coming out of his nose and mouth. "NOW GET OUT BEFORE I SLIT YOUR THROAT!", she said, throwing him out of the room, and beginning to calm down. She turned to her sister, and frowned, and began to tend to her crying sibling, who hugged her and said, "Thank you." "I'm sorry Aleene, if only I'd known...", Maggie comforted her, ashamed in herself for trusting a man like that.

Meanwhile, Basket was getting repaired by Jake. "What happened to you?", the guard had asked, and Basket had responded, "I don't know, Maggie just went rage mode, and beat the shit out of me. I don't know what I did." "Do you want me to stop her?", Jake asked, to which Basket shook his head, "No, I'm sure she'll be better tomorrow, I'm just going to have to sleep on the couch for a while."

"Okay, if you say so.", the guard replied. "There you go, all fixed up. Your eyes look better, but they're still a little swollen. If they start to swell again, get a steak from the kitchen and put it on it, okay?", Jake said. "Yep, I got it. Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna go tell Alena and Alice not to mess with their aunt, and tell Lucky not to bother his mother.", Basket said. "Good idea, I'll tell Onix not to get on her bad side. See you later.", Jake said, leaving the room, and Basket's smile dropped. "Time to keep my promise to Aleene. Someone figures me out, I hurt her daughters...", he said, letting out a dark chuckle as he left the Parts & Services, heading for Alena's room.
