I feel like a sick perv now but anyways, there's rape in this chapter, i will put lines around the rape scene if you don't want the mental image.
-Rhys-
When I came-to, I noticed three things:
1.) I was naked.
2.) I had been gagged with my hands and feet chained down to different corners of a mattress.
3.) I was blind folded.
What happened? Where am I? Why am I on a bed? I mentally asked as I squirmed and wiggled.
"Looks like he's awake, Sir." I heard a voice say.
"Good. Take the blind-fold off." I heard the all too familiar voice of the Pope say.
As the blind-fold was removed I looked at my surroundings.
What is this place? Why am I strapped to a bed? What are they going to do to me? Where are my clothes? My mind reeled with questions but the most prominate one of all was: Why is the Pope here?
All of a sudden, I remembered what happened earlier. He and two other men where talking outside of Mia's door, I was caught listening and they put a cloth over my mouth and nose. I blacked out soon after.
Finally looking at the Pope, I noticed he was the only one fully dressed.
What the hell? I thought as the Pope said "Make sure he is ready by the time I come back, I need to check on his lady-friend."
Mia! What is going to do to her?
"Yes, Sir." one of the men said.
Looking at the men, I saw that there were six accounted for.
He nodded his head and left, leaving me with six strange men.
"What kind of games should we play with our little mouse?" the last man to the right said as he smirked down at me.
I gulped as I felt sweat trickle down the left side of my face.
-Mia-
I woke to a strange pounding in my head. I looked around and thought when the hell did I get here? Where is here, anyways? I groaned as I sat up.
Looking around, I looked at my surroundings.
I was in a neat white room, filled with things necessary for a hospital.
After a few moments of silence, a man walked in, wearing some kind of weird white outfit.
"Where…am I?" I asked him.
"You are in the Basilica's medical room, Mrs." He said while smiling at me.
"Why am I here?"
I could sense the hesitation in his voice as he chose his words carefully. "You were found collapsed on a bench by one of the choir's singers. As it turns out, you don't have enough iron in your blood."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Yes, do you remember anything?"
"Ya'…My name, which country I'm in, and who I came with…"I said, looking at my hands in concentration.
"If you would like, we could call the inn your friends are staying in and tell them to come get you, if you wish."
"That would be nice…." I said as I slid back down into a resting position.
With that said he nodded his head and left the room.
-Rhys-
I arched my back as a muffled cry of pain escaped my mouth. Tears were rolling down my cheeks as they had their way with me.
Blood was trickling in-between my legs as I whimpered at the pain in my back.
As time passes, the pain nullifies as I become used to the things they were doing.
The tears have stopped by now, but the blood is still prominent.
My entire mind shut down as the last man got on top of me.
I starred blankly at the ceiling as he, too, did what he pleased.
-Mia-
It's been an hour since the man came in to check on me. For some reason, I had this nagging since that I was forgetting something.
But what could it be? I thought as I slipped on my shirt and finished getting dressed.
"Mia!" I heard Boyd say as he barged into my room, with Shinon, Soren, and Titania close behind.
"We were so worried! Even those two stopped arguing once they noticed you and the kid where gone." Boyd said as pointed at Shinon and Soren.
"Kid? What Kid? I came here alone, didn't I?" I asked, looking at them confusedly.
"Mia? Don't you remember? You and Rhys came here yesterday after you dropped us off at the hotel." Soren said as he stepped closer to me.
I met his worried eyes with clueless ones as I considered his statement.
Rhys? Who is that? I thought as I looked at the others.
"You don't remember him, do you?" Shinon asked as he looked at me solemnly
"Mia come here." Titania said sternly. Obediently, I walked over to her and waited as she pulled out her cell phone and showed me a picture of a sleeping blonde boy next to Boyd in a bed.
I took her cell and looked at the picture.
Who is- I didn't even finish my thought as everything came back to me. Rhys smiling, he and I enjoying the artwork, and the concerned look he gave me when my head-ache started.
"Rhys…." I whispered as I placed my hand over my mouth.
I looked up at them and said, "I need to find him. You guys go to the hotel and wait, Boyd after you drop them off, come back here and meet me at the entrance. I have a bad feeling about this…" I said as I closed Titania's cell and handed it back to her.
What the hell happened to him? How could I forget him so easily? I thought as we left, I grabbed the bottle of iron pills the doctor left me and walked out behind Titania.
Wanting to find the answers to my questions.
So...ya...thats this chap. Updates will be slower then usual because school's started up again.
