The man simply nodded.
Taking a deep breath the woman pulled her hands into her lap, the happy atmosphere disappearing.
Her expression showed her nervousness.
"Jim wanted to hurt you again…so…"
Deep breath, eyes closed; the vision coming back into mind.
"He used me…cut off my clothing and…"
No wonder.
Sage collapsed against him, her head leaning into his shoulder arms around him as she continued to breathe heavily, chocking back sobs, not daring to cry.
The words adhered to the man like a burr on a woolen cuff as his mind put together all the pieces.
Danny had said the nightmare would come true if she didn't prevent it.
He knew that she had been intimate with her captor, though only once.
But doing something like that in front of him?
How could it be possible that Jim would do that to the woman he loved?
Hadn't he changed in the slightest?
No, he used to abuse her and it seemed he could easily do it again.
He remembered the night Aaron had died.
The sadist had pushed Sage away and when Jim came over he had kicked her.
Not to mention all the other times he hurt her because of her love for Edward.
How could his captor hate him so?
Oh yes, if he hadn't been created, Sage would have loved him.
Why couldn't he see that she could never love him?
Why was it so hard?
After a few minutes of the depression settling in the woman finally pulled away, seemingly calm.
The sound of footsteps approached from outside.
Erik possibly?
Wait.
A group of people.
The door slammed open, Jim appearing, looking furious.
"Why is my wife here!?" he screamed walking over and pulling her from the bed.
"Why did you come here?"
"I've had a nightmare, "said the woman quietly.
Jim growled pulling her away from the door as Don and Conner appeared.
They both looked guilty as they grabbed Edward by the arms and gently pulled him from the room.
Sage pulled away from Jim angrily in the light of the pale morning.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Why do I always wake up alone?" was all her husband answered with as he pulled her to him again, his hands gripping her shoulders, shaking her slightly.
"I let you be with the beast, so why can't you show me mercy?"
He asked sullenly.
"I will destroy him if you can't love me!"
The woman gasped, her breathing turning erratic.
"I do love you, please believe me, but I love him to."
She gripped Jim too, pulling him into a hug.
"I do, please believe me. But if you weren't so cruel I could love you fully."
"Is it so cruel to want your love all to myself?"
Sage chocked back more sobs.
"No, it's not…but that is something I can never truthfully give to you."
Jim pushed her away.
"Then I shall keep torturing him. You know of the sessions now, I heard. And now that you do I believe it's time you come along and watch."
A mad glimmer appeared in the man's eye as he grabbed onto the woman's wrist and pulled her from the trailer, chuckling darkly.
