As the three sat in the living room, quietly eating dinner (Felicaina finally gave in to eating the sausages), everyone seemed unusually calm. Gilbert and Felicaina were quiet, probably still feeling rather odd about what had taken place earlier, and so was Monika,but that was normal. To break the awkward silence, Monika spoke up.

"So, Felicaina...What happened exactly? You know, before you got here...?" She asked quietly.

Felicaina wore a smile of weary, looking down at her plate then up at Monika. "Ve, it a long story..."

"We got time." Gilbert pointed out.

"Ve, okay then..." She took an unsteady breath. "Well...I lived with my Nono and Sorella until I-"

"Whats a 'Nono'?" Gilbert asked.

"Huh? O-Oh, my grandfather...Any ways, I lived with them until I was about four. There was a girl next door I used to play with alot, her name was...I can't remember her name, actually...Well one day, I was walking to her hose and this man pulled up. He asked me if I wanted a cookie, and of course I said yes, so I walked over to him and..."

"You...You were kidnapped?" Monika asked with a hint of anger towards the kidnapper.

"S-Si...and the next thing I knew, I was in some weird lab, a-and I was strapped to a table...they gave me a really big shot, a-and..."

Tears streamed down Felicaina's face she re-told the events. Gilbert and Monika listened very carefully, not missing a single detail. They shared a pained glance, as if saying that they knew Felicaina was hurting simply from saying this. Monika placed a hand on Felicaina's shoulder, looking deep into her amber eyes. "Felicaina..Its okay, you don't have to keep going..."

"N-No, its okay...I-I want you to know..."

Monika simply nodded, allowing Felicaina to continue.

"S-So...ah...I guess I passed out, because when I woke up, I had these ears a-and tail...I haven't seen Nono or Sorella since...I really miss them..." She said, voice cracking.

Gilbert and Monika starred, wide-eyed at Felicaina. Now that they knew the background behind Felicaina, they almost wished they didn't. As the Italian sat, she cried. She looked down at her lap, wiping the ocean of tears from her eyes. Monika bit her lip, glaceing over at Gilbert. Without another thought, she stood and Picked up Felicaina. Feli wrapped her legs around Monika's waist as she was carried up the stairs. She burred her face in the crook of Monika's neck, sniffling softly. "Monika..." she whimpered.

Monika rubbed her back, setting her down on her bed. "Shh...Its okay, Feli...I'm so sorry that happened to you...I wont let anything happen to you ever again, okay?"

Felicaina nodded as Monika pulled the sheets over her, drifting off to a restless sleep. As son as her head hit the pillow, she was asleep. Monika dried the Italian's tears off her face and sighed.

Things were much, much worse than she had ever expected.

Fluffy chapter is fluffy. Indeed.
