This idea popped into my mind during one of my spacing out during a conversation. Well anyway please read and review. I need more reviews so if you read this you better review.
The race for taday was over and the team was tired.
"Jordan, I'm going to take a shower." ,Eva called. Jordan did a sort of wave to say he heard her, and she walked off. When Eva got out of the shower, she walked behind her curtained room and put on her bra and underwear. Jordan had just escaped Stan and Koji. He walked into the room. He noticed that Eva's curtain wasn't shut all the way. There was a crack just big enough that Jordan could she Eva in her underwear and bra. Jordan jumped at what else he saw. There were scars, cuts, and bruises all over Eva's body. Jordan remembered the night before.
He was out looking for Eva again. Jordan spotted her on a log wincing like she had scraped her knee. Jordan walked over and Eva got up. They walked back to the Module. Jordan noticed Eva was walking much more slowly tonight. He looked at her for a brief moment and saw the tears run down her face. They got back and Eva fell asleep late into the night. Jordan heard her soft sobs, and he wanted to comfort her, but couldn't. He fell asleep listening to Eva. It was breaking his heart just to hear her cry.
He turned away with tears welling up in his eyes. Jordan knew he couldn't tell anyone.
Eva looked over towards the gap in her curtain, and noticed that Jordan was turned away from her. She quickly put the rest of her clothes on wondering if Jordan had seen her. Eva stepped out of her half of the room. She was wearing a long sleeved turtle-neck sweater and her usual jeans.
"Hey Jordan, you want to go get something to eat with me?" ,Eva asked.
"Nah, I'm not really hungry. I'll be cleaning the guns if you need me." ,Jordan said and walked out of the room. Eva knew he had saw her. Hanging her head, she thought He's probably going to tell everyone about this. I'll have a lot of explaining to do.
Jordan was jumpy that whole day. He didn't tell anyone what he had saw that morning, but he didn't like keeping it in. Koji walked by and saw Jordan's look on his face.
"What's the matter, Jordan, you don't look like yourself." ,Koji inquired.
Thinking quickly Jordan asked, "What would you do if you knew someone was being abused?"
Taken aback by this question, Koji answered, "I would tell someone right away."
"Thanks" ,Jordan said and walked away from a confused Koji.
Jordan went to the ground and took a walk. He was in deep thought. He snapped out of his daze when he heard two familiar voices. It was Kross and Aikka.
"Why did you have to make me help you with your vial tasks?" ,Aikka snarled.
"Just for you to suffer. It was most painful for you to watch what you were doing. Pain is the price you must pay. I shall be seeing you, Prince." ,Kross growled.
Aikka was standing there alone as he thought. After Kross was out of hearing, Aikka punch the wall with a yell, and it cracked. Jordan came out of his hiding place, so he could get back to the module unnotice. Jordan succeeded in this task. He now knew he had to talk to Eva. Later that night, Eva was on her hammock, in a bra and shorts as usual. She was putting a type of healing lotion on her skin. She had bought the lotion at the market three weeks ago. Jordan walked in and stripped down to his boxers. Eva didn't hear him come in. Jordan looked over at the other half of the room, which he could see shadows of the figures and shapes through it. Jordan noticed Eva was rubbing some sort of lotion all over herself. Getting up, Jordan chose that this would be the best time to ask Eva what had happened. Jordan pulled the curtain to see Eva doing exactly as he predicted. Eva glanced up and saw Jordan standing there. She made a grab for her blanket, but she knew she was too late to cover up what was all ready there.
Jordan sat down on the opposite side of the hammock and waited for Eva to calm down.
"What happened last night, Molly?" ,was all Jordan could ask.
The tears were welling up in Eva's eyes, Jordan could see it clearly, "Kross and...and...Aikka."
Jordan had no idea what had happened, but the idea of Kross and Aikka together was not a good pairing.
"They snuck up on me and started punching and throwing me around like a rag doll. Aikka was told to use one of his arrows on me. He did, but he had tears in his eyes. The arrow scraped the egde of my side and it bled badly. Aikka ran off and Kross after him. It was scary. Then you came along about half an hour after that. I was so scared. It was abuse." ,Eva said and the tears started to fall from their prisons.
Jordan stared at her. He couldn't believe it. All he could do was stare. One of the bruises, Jordan noticed was the shape of Kross's hand. Fury was bubbling up inside Jordan. Eva could tell from the look on Jordan's face, he was planning.
"I think I'll have a word with the two that think they can hurt you." ,Jordan said and told Eva goodnight and went to bed.
Sorry about the cliff-hanger, but it's all in the next chapter that I'm working on right now. Please review.
