You cringed waiting for the blow, but instead when you look up you see Lutari your puppy latched on to Tejiri's arm.
You: "Lutari!!"
Tejiri flings the dog to the ground. You get up and take Lutari and Kiko in your arms and start to run. With the extra weight you don't get very far before you feel someone push you down. You fall hard on your face. You look up to see Tejiri, who by then is on top of you slapping you across the face.
Tejiri: "You little bitch. This'll teach you to run away from me."
He then gets up off you and grabs you by the front of your shirt. You struggle against him but you are now lifted off the ground and your body suddenly goes limp.
Tejiri: "I'm going to hurt you so bad you'll be afraid to leave me. We were never over, you'll be my bitch for the rest of your life."
Tears stream down your face as you suddenly hear footsteps coming up from behind you. It's Luffy and the crew.
Trace: "Put her down"
Tejiri: "Oh Rain is this your boyfriend you little slut. Fine I'll put her down"
Tejiri throws you down into the cement. You feel a sharp pain in your head as everything goes black.
Trace's P.O.V.
Tejiri throws Rain hard into the cement and her head starts to bleed and her face is really beaten up. She's bleeding from her lip and she has a black eyes.
(thoughts) how could anyone want to hurt Rain she is so helpless and small You run up to Tejiri and start to beat him up and then you use you fire powers from the cursed fruit to end the fight leaving him unconscious. You walk over to Rain and pick her up bridal style and carry her to the ship.
End P.O.V.

Your P.O.V.
You wake up with a pounding headache.
You: "Where am I?"
You look around and see that you're laying on a huge 4 post king sized bed and are in a huge room that is quite clean with only a few things thrown here and there. The door swings open and Sanji runs in follow by Luffy, Shanks and Trace.
You: "oh my head"
Trace: "Chopper said you need to rest so lay down"
You: "Oh ok"
Shanks: "You gave us quite a scare there, lass. May i ask who was that and why would he beat you up like that"
You: "Well...umm..he's my ex-boyfriend"
They all look at you shocked.
Sanji: "Why would you go out with scum like that?! Who does he think he is. What did he do to you to make you so scared of him and make you freeze up like that?"
Your eyes start to tear up just thinking about it.
You: "Uh well... he umm...well my family...umm...i don't want to talk about it"
Tears start to stream down your face and you close your eyes as you choke back sobs. To your surprise you feel a pair of strong arms wrap around you. You look up to see Trace holding you tightly into his chest. You start to blush.
Trace: "I think Rain's had enough questions and memories for today. You guys go to the kitchen we'll be there in a second."
Luffy, Shanks and Sanji leave you and Trace alone. Trace looks down at you and brushes a lock of hair from your face.
Trace: "Don't cry. It'll be fine. I don't like it when you cry, you're far more beautiful when you laugh."
You: blush "sorry if i've been any trouble. if you want i'll leave"
Trace: "you're so funny. you're not causing any trouble you can stay i won't hurt you or anything. And by the way you don't have to tell us anything if you don't want to ok"
You: "i'll tell you guys it's just i'm not ready yet."
Trace: "Lets go eat then"
You: "Ok"

You and Trace walk into the kitchen.
Nami: "Hey Rain, come and sit by us girls."
You: "Ok"
You run over and sit by Nami and Vivi
Vivi: "Hi Rain. How are you feeling"
You: "better, my head still hurts though"
Nami: "Well i hope you get better soon cuz i'm excited that me and vivi have another girl to hang out with. And just to warn you Sanji flirts with every girl in sight."
You: giggle "Thanks for the warning"
You and the crew ate together and everyone was fooling around all night until around 1:00 A.M.
You: "Umm...I'm kinda tired, do you guys have a place where i can sleep?"
Everyone: "Ummm..."
Trace: "Yeah, you can sleep in my bed, i'll just sleep on the floor or something"
You: "Oh no, i couldn't ask that, you guys have already given me too much."
Trace: "No i don't mind"
You: "Oh ok"
Trace: "Come on i'll show you were it is"
You follow Trace out of the kitchen and tell everyone good night. He leads you down the hallway and into the room you were in before.
You: "Wow i didn't know this was yours its so big"
Trace: "You really thinks so, i don't care for it too much.
Here you can borrow some clothes and i'll be back in a sec"
You put on a pair of his boxers and a large shirt. He comes back in in only his boxers.
You: "You don't have to sleep on the floor...umm you can sleep in the bed too if you want."
Trace: "Oh, ok thanks."
You to climb into bed and you fall asleep right as Trace wraps his arms around you.

You wake up to the sound of Zolo's voice and Luffy laughing. You then realized what they're laughing at. While you were sleeping, Trace and you had well...come into a kinky position. Trace's arms were around your waist, and his face was buried into your neck, your legs had wrapped around him and you two were very close.
Zolo: "Well i guess we know what they did last night. hahaha"
Luffy: "Yeah. Hahaha what did they do?"
You started to laugh even though you were embarassed.
You: "Shhhh he's still sleeping"
Zolo: "Ok i'll leave you two love birds alone"
You: "Grrrrr get out of here"
Zolo and Luffy leave still laughing. Trace wakes up.
Trace: "morining beautiful. have a nice sleep"
You: "Yeah, it was great. Thanks for letting me sleep in your bed."
Trace: "No problem"
You: "Well I'm going to go find Lutari and Kiko, see ya"
With that you get up and start to explore the ship looking for Lutari your dog and Kiko your cat. You find them by Shanks, Kiko was curled up in his lap and Lutari was laying by his feet.
You: "Hey Shanks. Thanks for watching them hope they didn't cause to much trouble"
Shanks: "No problem. I like animals."
You: "Oh really. These two are my best friends. Well that's for two reasons: One is that they're so cute and have been with me for so long, and Two is because i can talk to animals."
Shanks: "Wow, that's amazing. Well they can stay here with me"
You: "oh ok thank you"
Shanks: "No problem"
You walk into the kitchen to get some lunch when everyone walks in and sits down.
Nami: "Hey Rain, i don't want to pry, but why was that guy after you? Why would he do that to you?"
Trace: "Hey Nami, listen i told Rain that she could tell us if she wants when she's..."
You: "No its ok...i'm ready to talk about it"

You: "Well when i was about 15 my family moved away and left me behind to fend for myself. They said they couldn't take care of me cuz i was different. They called me "Demon Child" because i have special powers which allow me to control snow, ice, and water, and i can talk to animals. Everyone thought i was a freak. So they left me, they feared me and it tore me up inside. I still attended school, but i lived in a tent, i had a job but still found it hard to make tuition so i transfered to a public school close to home. Then i met Tejiri, he was always so nice to me at school, when he found out i was living in a tent he wouldn't allow it, he told me to come live with him in his apartment. He was so nice, i thought, how could i say no. I lived with him for about 6 mnths every day he just kept getting more hostile. On the 6 mnth he decided that i would have to pay half the rent cuz he couldn't afford it. I got another job,to pay for it. I was his girlfriend and had nowhere else to go what could i do. So i would usually come home aroun 10 at night until one day i decided to put in a few more hours so i got home real late. He'd hit me sometimes before that and he would always yell, but that night was the night everything changed. I was nervous cuz i knew he'd be mad at me. So when i got home he started yelling at me and he hit me so hard that i sliced my lip open. Then he ripped off all of my clothes and threw me onto the floor."
You are now trying to tell them but you pause and let the bottled up tears stream freely down your face.
You: "And then he raped me. He took away the one thing i had left. He stole my innocence i tried to fight back,...i did...but it hurt so bad and he was so rough the pain paralyzed my body from moving. He wouldn't stop, i begged and pleaded with him but he showed me no pity. He said he owned me and would do what he pleased with me. After that night 2 mnths ago nothing was ever the same. I hid from him every night i slept in some tree or even in the school. I dropped out of school and began to slit my wrists. I was going to run away to another town, until you guys found me and saved me from running. Thank You!"
Everyone is just staring down at the table and you get up to leave.
You: "I just need to be alone for a little while"
Your thoughts
Well great now they think i'm some kind of freak. I guess it was too soon. I'm going to have to do something to fix this. Maybe if i slit my wrists deep enough to hit the main vein...Yeah and then all of this would be over
You run into the kitchen and grab a knife and sneak away into the bathroom. You slit your wrist alittle pondering what you want to do.
Maybe i'll wait and see if they really hate me
You walk down onto the deck and lean on the wall you slide down. You start to cry while watching the blood start to ooze from the fresh cut on your wrist.
They hate me, why am i so different? I just want people to understand me.
You start to sob and tears are streaming down your face. As you cry it starts to snow and you bury your face in your arms. The blood is still flowing from the cut on your wrist.

Your eyes slowly start to close as you drift off to sleep.
