Chosen For Life

Chapter 11

I brought Mitra up with me to the bedroom I was staying in. She remained silent as she walked into the room.

I sat down on the bed and patted the spot next to me. "Come, sit." I said, smiling. I knew she probably wasn't in the mood for me to be all bubbly and happy, but I didn't want to make her feel any worse than she already did.

I watched as she came and sat next to me, her legs dangling off the side of the bed. "How are you feeling?" I asked her, as she looked at her legs that hung off the bed.

Before she got a word out, I watched as the tears began to well up in her eyes. She bit her bottom lip as it began to tremble, and she broke.

She let out a sob, and dropped her face into her hands. "Oh, Mitra..." I sighed, and wrapped my arms around her. I held her as I felt her body shaking, letting out muffled cries here and there.

I didn't know what to say, I didn't know whether to share my anger I felt at Gabe, or to be as sympathetic as possible. I was never really good at comforting people.

I pulled back as I heard less of her cries, and pushed her hair away from her face. "I'm sorry," she said, letting out a nervous laugh. She used the sleeve of her shirt to wipe her eyes, which were now red and puffy.

"Don't be sorry," I said, as I rubbed her back. "I don't know...I've been feeling a lot since yesterday, and I haven't really had the chance to let it out." she said, sniffling. I nodded in reply.

"So...yesterday," I said, as she nodded slowly. "Yeah, we did have sex." she replied, ever so quietly. "And...I don't know. I know now that he was just trying to get into my head, but he pretended to be all vulnerable with me, telling me how he felt like he was the weakest out of him and Jaxon and Ariel..." she said, fidgeting with her fingers. "So I comforted him, naturally. I didn't even think twice about it. And then, he got all touchy with me. I told him he would regret it, because I felt like it was wrong. He wasn't there to have sex with me, he was there to monitor me," she said, using quotation marks as she said it. "But I did it anyway...like I was born to do..." she trailed off.

"So, I guess he's right. I shouldn't be surprised that he used to sex to get what he wanted out of me." she said, flatly. She shrugged and looked up at me, her cheeks were blotchy and red from crying moments before.

"Fuck that," I said, "Fuck that, Mitra. I don't care if you were born a succubus, that doesn't give him any excuse to fucking manipulate you like that." I felt warm, as the anger rose inside of me. I couldn't believe Gabriel would pull a stunt like that.

Mitra shook her head, her eyes soft. "Don't get mad, Leila...it's over now, and we'll just move on from it." she said, the sadness in her voice prominent.

I chuckled, "You sound like me," I said, and lifted my hand to grab hers. "Seriously, don't ever feel guilty for who you are. Hell, you need it to survive, don't you? Who the fuck cares how much you do it, there are people that are human that probably have sex just as much as you do." I said. "And just because you were born to do it, that still doesn't make it okay for people to use it against you."

I watched as a grin appeared on her face, letting out a small laugh. "Well, yeah...If you put it like that," she said.

I smiled as I pulled her in for a hug, resting my head on top of hers. "I love you dude," she said, "If you didn't butt in today, I probably would've been back on Proserpina by now..."
