The Fall

Chapter 10

I was still shocked for the most part, I still couldn't really comprehend what was going on even though my mind has somewhat accepted the recent chain of events. We were on board the ship and I was in my room with Cyra, my little sister wanted to tell me what happened after I left. She sat next to me, her legs swinging of the side of the bed.

"Cyra, you don't have to force yourself. It must have been traumatizing for you." I assured, placing a hand on hers gently.

She looked up at me, the bravest look that I have ever seen planted on her face. She was determined and nothing was going to deter her.

"No, I have to get it out. You have every right to know what mother and father did, those monsters." She growled out, hate oozing out of every pore the more she thought about what she was going to say.

I honestly did not want to know, no matter how stupid it may seem but I don't think I could handle it. This was my little sister, I took care of her for most of her life, I brought her up.

"Alright, tell me everything Lil Sis." I whispered and pulled her close so that I could hug her. She settled next to me, her body was still stiff but she was starting to relax for the most part.

"Well after you left, Father quit his job at the castle and took to drinking, Mother was none the better. She started taking drugs. We started running out of money after three months, and our parents would fight continuously about what to do and who's fault it was, but finally they came to an agreement.

It must have been around midnight when I was woken up, Father was looming over me with rope and a piece of cloth. I was still half asleep and not fully aware of what was going on so I couldn't fight him off either. He tied me up and gagged me, dragging my struggling body out into the night and off to one of the closest harlot houses.

They paid him a lot of money, it would have lasted him and Mother a good couple of years if they weren't addicts. The people who bought me didn't have me do anything for a good number of years, I was still too young so they began to train me instead. They taught me to be silent, to serve, to be docile and never to refuse what society wanted from me. To become less of what I was supposed to be, to be a sex toy for the masses.

So as soon as my body matured to a somewhat suitable state, I was sold off to a wealthy traveler. He didn't force himself on me so I began to believe myself to be safe, he only made me do menial tasks on his ship, just some basic cleaning and cooking. But as soon as we touched down in Obrie...

I was sold off again to a dwarf alien called Dotun, and that's when my fears become reality. I was raped, forced to do things I would probably only do in my nightmares. I was stuck like that for many years Big Bro, I almost lost hope but then Karim showed up while Dotun had taken me out to do shopping.

He saw me cuffed in chains while I followed my rapist around, a dazed look in my eye with no idea of what to do with myself other than to just obey. Karim snuck up behind Dotun and knocked him out by pinching some nerves on the back of his neck. While he was out, Karim worked on unlocking the cuffs around my ankles and wrists, once I was free we ran as fast as we could for his ship.

I didn't want to trust him just because he saved me, I feared that he just tried to steal another man's property, but he explained to me. He spoke about his daughter, one which was he so proud off and how he wished that she was still by his side. He cried and I couldn't help but be sorry for him, he truly missed her. I let myself trust him. He also began training me in healing magic.

We went back to Demeter and we waited in the shadows, we hid our presence from the world, we became ghosts to not arouse suspicion. But I saw you, when you were walking with that girl and I wanted to cry and run to you. I missed you so much and I just wanted to be back in your arms where it was safe. Karim had to hold me back, he told me it was too early to actually go to you. And it wasn't safe for you either.
