Freedom out of Reach.
Summary: Based loosely of the 2x06 trailer: 'You have given me the power to destroy you, Don't think I wont use it' 'You've already destroyed me' she whispered, wiping a fallen tear as he walked out the room. All Edith and Sybil could do was hold in their tears as they watched through the hatch. Who can save Mary from her damned fate with a monstrous man. (Mentions of rape)
Matthew/Mary.
Rating/ M
Mary walked along the garden, the sun barely there as night began to set in, she knew that inside Richard would be conversing with her parents, but she didn't want to put on a happy face when she truly didn't want to marry him for her heart lies with Matthew. She knew even if the engagement was broken between her and Carlisle and Matthew would never marry her, it would either because her previous transgressions with Pamuk would disgust him or he would tell her that he couldn't marry her due to his inability to give her children.
'Should you really be out here on your own, it's late' Matthew asked as he wheeled himself over towards her, she smiled at him although it did not reach her eyes.
'Probably not, but here is have somewhere to escape, clear my head' She replied looking up at the dark sky, she knew that she must have been out for over an hour. Matthew touched her arm and she looked down at him.
"You're cold" Matthew noted, she simply smiled and carried on walking.
"Perhaps I should go in then" She walked off leaving Matthew confused, she was never usually this quick to leave, she'd often converse with him for quite a while.
Mary walked into the drawing room, now that the war was over and everyone was now fully recovered Downton had gone back to it's normal everyday life without a hospital bed in sight. Richard walked over grabbing hold of her arm.
"My dear, where have you been?" He also noted the coldness of her arm, he pulled her out of the drawing room without anyone noticing, or so he thought, most were listening to Lord Grantham tell a tale but Sybil and Edith were too busy watching the interaction between Mary and Richard watching as they walked into the library.
"My ladies, The lady Grantham wishes to hear Sybil's stories." They reluctantly walked back into the drawing room.
"Darlings, where were you going?" Their mama asked as they looked at each other instinctively.
"We were going to find Mary" Sybil replied as they stood by the door.
"Well I'm sure you've already told her these stories, You can find her afterwards"
Sybil and Edith both sat down as dread filled them, they knew Sir Richard Carlisle was not to be trusted.
It was quite a while before they could finally slip away and go and check on Mary, they walked into the room that was adjoined to the library and opened the hatch so they could see what was going on.
'You have given me the power to destroy you, Don't think I wont use it' Richard announced as he tucked his shirt back into his trousers, Sybil put her hand over her mouth as she saw Mary lying on the floor, her dress hanging off her.
'You've already destroyed me' Mary whispered, wiping a fallen tear as he walked out the room. All Edith and Sybil could do was hold in their tears as they watched through the hatch. Mary stood up with the help of the bookshelf to her left, she straightened out her dress, Mary had convinced herself that it was all her fault, if she's never have been with Kemal then she would have accepted Matthews proposal and they would have been married, he would never have gone to war and he wouldn't be in a wheelchair right now. She quickly ran out of the study, not noticing anyone or anything as she ran to her room and let out a sob collapsing by the door.
Edith looked at Sybil who of course knew nothing of Mary's past and so held of confusion of her face.
"I shall tell you later, dear sister. But first I must tell someone who should have been told years ago"
"Who?" Sybil asked running after her sister.
"I'm going to tell papa"
Okay, so I hope you like it, if so please review and If you don't well tell me why you don't like it. This isn't my first story I have another Fanfiction account but this channel will host all of the Downton Abbey stories.
I watched episode 6 last night and goodness me I absolutely hate Sir Richard Carlisle, I think the only way Mary can get out of it is if she tells Robert her dear papa, of course he'll probably shout at her a lot like he did with Sybil last season with the whole suffragette thing going on but he loves his daughters and he wants Mary to marry Matthew so I think he would help her.
Anyway I will update again later today this chapter is short because It's the first one but after this we shall be getting 2k+.
