She could feel it, the awful liquid flowing down her back. It burned like nothing else. She would rather be lit on fire again. Anything but this. She screamed, trying to break free of the hands holding her arms, legs and head, forcing her to inhail dirt, "Shut up you little slut!" One of the men yelled as he poured more hydrofloric acid down her naked back. She screamed as tears plop onto the dry earth that eagerly drinks her angeny.
"Hay!" She hears another voice from her right. She screams again, and begins thrashing harder, trying to break free of the hands holding her.
"Please! No more!" She screams, beggin for the pain to just stop.
"Hold her down!" Another voice comes as more pressure is placed onto her limbs.
"She's bleeding!" The first voices yells over her screams.
"Stop! I'm sorry! I won't do it again!" She screams as they pour more acid down her back. She can feel it begin to burn through her muscles. A new pain begins ripping through her legs as one of the men starts to dig a knife deep into her calf and pulling it down to her ankle, "Why?" She screams.
"You need to wake up!" They begin thrashing her back and forth. She sighs that they ran out of acid.
"It's just a dream! Wake up!"
Wake up? She question's the voice. She lifts her head to see her third master walking toward her with gasoline and a lit tourch, "No! Master please! I'll never sneeze again!" She screams begining to thrash again.
"It's just a dream! Wake up!" He pours the fluid on her, then drops the tourch. Just as her body is engulfed in flames, her eye lids fly open. She gasps for breath as she looks around franticlly.
"Finally, your awake!" One of the voices sighs. She looks from one face to another, then see's the tail. Like lightning, she reaches for Rin and wraps her arms around his neck, stuffing her face into his shoulder and sobs.
Yukio pulls his guns out, thinking she is attacking him, until he hears the heart wrenching sobs.
"It's alright," Rin embraces her back, smoothing the hair on her head over and over again. Her sobs become small hick ups as her tail tries finding it's way out of the covers, being bent at an akward angel.
Yukio stairs at her, seeing her tail swish from side to side, "Holy shit," He gasps looking from Rin's tail to Isana's tail, not believing what he's seeing. The hat off, he can see her pointed ears. It makes perfect sense now.
"It's alright, nothings going to hurt you," Rin keeps repeating, watching her tail himself.
"You need to start talking," Yukio says roughly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you, I'm so sorry," She hugs Rin harder, he simply holds her. Slowly, she begins to calm down, her tail laying lifeless on the bed next to her right leg.
"Where do you want me to begin?" She asks, finally letting go of Rin.
"Where did you really come from?" Yukio asks, sitting on the floor, guns laying on the floor in front of him, serving as a warning to not try anything.
She nods her head as Rin sits next to his brother, "I was born sixteen years ago. My mother was a medium, my fater is Veles. Shortly after I was born, he killed my mother and ate her. Upon seeing him, exorsists came and killed him before he could eat me," She pulls her knees up to her chest and wraps her arms around them, "I've always had masters for as long as I can remember,"
"What do you mean by masters?" Rin asks, concern written on his face.
"It depened on the master what I was to them," She sighs heavily, "My first master that I can remember was when my powers began to make themselves known. When I was ten She threw me out onto the street when she saw it,"
"What is your power?" Yukio asks, almost forgetting his guns on the floor.
"I control water,"
"Oh," Yukio looks to Rin who has a slight smile on his face, "Continue,"
"A few days after she threw me out, I was picked up by another demon who tried to raise me as his own. But he would always hurt me. She thinks back to the ugly markings on her back he gave her.
"How so?"
"He would carve symbols into my skin with stones,"
"What?" Rin yells getting to his feet, anger swirling inside him.
"He was exersized when I went out to get food for us after three months. My next master was a drug dealer. His favorite activity was to pull my tail, then pour acid on my back," Tears begin to well in her eyes, remember her nightmare, forcing her to relive it all, "He kept me for three years," She sighs, thinking it only got worse, " My next master was what they call a pimp in America,"
"What's that?" Rin asks, having sat back down.
"Um..." Yukio's face turns red slightly, "Rin, a pimp is usually a man who forces women to have sex for money," Yukio explains through many delays to clear his throat.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Rin yells.
"He kept me for two years until I was resued by a church," Rin calms down greatly at the news, "I was able to keep my demonic features hidden until one of the nurses walked into the bathroom one day and saw my tail. She told the preist and he would beat me every day until I either stopped moving, or he got board," She sighs, afriad to look into the boy's eyes, "Then, three weeks ago, Maphisto saved me, telling me the hell I have endured was finally over," She smiles lightly.
"That is horrible," Rin says, looking back at his childhood. He thought he had it bad his whole life. Now he knows he had it so good.
"Alright, but that doesn't answer my question from before," Yukio says lightly, thinking along the same lines as Rin, "Why are you here?"
"Maphisto put me in here, saying I need to learn valuable skills on how to protect myself,"
"Do you know what the cram school is for?"
"Sort of..." She admits, wipeing her eyes with the back of her hand, "I know it's for exorsists in training,"
"Well, that about sums it up," Rin says a slight smile on his face.
"What is your opionion on humans?"
"Honestly, they scare me," she admits.
"Do you feel hatred toward them?"
"Not all humans are bad, I know that, just like not all demon's are bad," She looks Yukio right in the eyes, "It depends on the certain creature,"
"How can you not feel hatred after everything you've been through?" Rin asks looking between the two.
"If I did that, I wouldn't be alive,"
"What do you mean?"
"What's the point of living if you are just filled with hatred?"
Rin and Yukio look at each other, then back at her in astonishment. All the can think to do is nod their head at something so true.
"Well, since you're fine now, I'm heading back to bed," Rin yawns and stretches as he stands, "See you in the morning,"
"I'll be leaving as well, try to sleep better," Yukio stands and follows his elder brother out the door, back into their room.
Standing up, she goes to shut the light off, then dashes back to the bed where she buries herself in the fluffy quilt.
