Chapter Marluxia: Ularxa

Dynilexs was walking through the halls to get to her room. Another day of hard work meant she would get a long rest. As she passed by Ularxa's door, a wave of stench hit her nose. She knew the smell, but what was it. She took another deep whiff, and her jaw suddenly dropped. Blood?

She ran inside, the door barely staying on its hinges. There was blood all over the carpets. Dynilexs looked around desperately. "Ularxa?" She called. "Ularxa?" Then, her eyes widened when she saw her. "ULARXA!"

Ularxa was lying on her back in a pool of blood. Her blood. She was bleeding severely from the wrists, and Dynilexs instantly clamped her hands on Ularxa's wrists, trying to stop the flow.

Out of the corner of her eye, Dynilexs then saw a silver knife within the puddle. She's a cutter… then, realizing the gravity of the situation, quickly pulled Ularxa onto her back, still holding her wrists tight, and ran out of the room and basically knocked down the door of Cholanxis's room.

Cholanxis instantly stood up, and he saw the blood running down Dynilexs's hands, and he grabbed some of his bandages and motioned for Dynilexs to put Ularxa on the bed. She did, and, trusting Cholanxis, dashed out of the room, and crashed right into a certain someone.

"Dynilexs?" Timex. Joy. "Where are you in such a hu- is that BLOOD?"

Dynilexs looked at her hands. "It's not mine."

"Whose is it?"

"Ularxa." Timex's eyes widened. "She's a cutter."

"WHAAAT?" Timex yelled and ran into Cholanxis's room. "Cholanxis?" He then saw him bandaging Ularxa's wounds tightly. He ran over to her.

"Ularxa?" He whispered softly, as if afraid to wake her. "Ularxa?" He then turned to Cholanxis. "Is she gonna be all right?" What are these feelings? Sure, I've been with many girls, but I've never been this scared for one. He thought.

"I'm pretty sure, but just barely." He said. "If Dynilexs had been going past Ularxa's room a minute later, Ularxa would probably be dead." Timex made a mental note to thank Dynilexs later. He looked over at the unconscious girl. Her skin was paler than usual and sunken in to easily show each of her bones.

Cholanxis sat back. "All we can do now is wait and hope for the best." Hope. Nobodies couldn't feel, so how could they hope? But then, why was Timex feeling fear, and lust-no, love. He blinked. Love? It was always lust. When had it changed? And why her?

Cholanxis then seemed to think of something and rolled up Ularxa's shirt. On her stomach, back, shoulders, legs, and pretty much everything were cuts, scabs, and scars. They seemed somewhat healed already, but Cholanxis decided to use antiseptic to make sure. Timex took Ularxa's hand in his own and looked at her still face. Why? He wondered.


Ularxa groaned. Pain. There was so much. Wait. She opened her eyes, blinking when the artificial light hit them, basically blinding her. She turned her head, and felt something wrapped around her hand. She lifted her head barely, amazed at how weak she felt, and saw Timex asleep in a chair by the bed, her hand was in his. She didn't pull away. It was this strange feeling. She liked it. She wanted it.

She tried to move her hand to a more comfortable position, and yelped. It hurt to move her arm. The sudden noise jerked Timex out of his doze. His eyes flicked over to her, and he sighed in relief. He let go of Ularxa's hand and went out. When he came back, Cholanxis, Dynilexs, and Addixem were with him.

"Ularxa?" Dynilexs asked, her hand gently brushing the other girl's forehead. "How do you feel?"

"Like shit." Ularxa groaned. "No. Worse than that. It fucking hurts like hell. Where am I?"

"Your room. Cholanxis had you moved here as soon as you were stable enough. What do you remember?" Addixem said softly. Addixem was gentle when needed be. Ularxa was silent for a minute, and then it all came back to her. She moved her right hand over to her left wrist, wincing, and gently touched the bandage.

"You remember." Cholanxis said. He was moving all around her, seeming to be checking her from all sides. "You'll be alright for now." He said with a nod. He turned to Dynilexs. "I'll be outside."

"We'll be there in a bit." Dynilexs told her, and both she and Addixem pulled up chairs. They sat down, hands in their laps. Timex was sitting down where he had been earlier.

"You have explaining to do." Timex told her. "Why did you try to kill yourself?"

Ularxa turned to him, expecting to see anger, but there was concern and fear in his eyes. She felt tears well up in her own.

Timex flipped out. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean for you to-" Dynilexs shushed him as Ularxa began to talk.

"It's just the memories. They're too much."

"What memories?" Addixem asked.

Ularxa debated whether to talk, and decided. "I've been raped." She whispered. Three sets of eyes widened. "By my father."

"What… what about your mother?"

"It was always when she was gone. She worked nights." Ularxa mumbled softly. "He… he threatened me at knifepoint. If I told anyone." She looked up. "I'm sure you saw all the other cuts?"

"Yeah." Timex said quietly. "Some of those…"

"My father did most of them. I did some, but it was the only thing in life I could control." She whimpered softly, and Timex grabbed her hand again, gently caressing it with his fingertips. "He did it to me at least once a week. And he never used protection either."

"But what if…" Dynilexs couldn't say it.

"He didn't care if I became pregnant. I was just his sex slave, not a daughter he conceived. I never did become pregnant, thankfully. But it scared me so much. He did so much… he ruined me…"

"When did it start?"

"On my thirteenth birthday." Ularxa was crying hard now. "He told me he had a 'special present' that he couldn't give until Mom left." It didn't miss anyone's ears that she called her mother Mom, but her dad was just he. "That was when… it was awful… I never trusted another male again, it didn't matter how old he was. They're all the same… they all want to get me to have sex with them."

Timex gulped, and couldn't blame Ularxa for hating him. Trying to get her in a bed with him, and all those things that her father did… What person was he to try to do that? That would prove her theory correct. Ularxa was bawling, and it was obvious that that was all she would share.

Addixem and Dynilexs took their leave, out into the hallway where Cholanxis was waiting. Addixem walked back to her room, probably to figure out a way to cheer up the brunette, and Dynilexs filled Cholanxis in about what had happened. Cholanxis looked towards the door of Ularxa's room with a sigh. He had finally mustered the courage to talk to Dynilexs… but this happened. Luck was definitely not on his side.


"Ularxa?" Timex whispered. Neither of them really noticed or cared that the girls were gone. Ularxa quieted enough to hear what Timex was saying. "I'm sorry. I didn't realize-" He broke off, unsure of what to say. "What do you say we start over? No sex?"

Ularxa's mouth dropped open. She had never expected to hear him say those two words together, especially as an offer. "What?"

"I want to try this again, at your pace. When you want to have sex, we can have sex, but not until you're ready." He moved his other hand to her cheek, wiping her tears away. "I want you to trust me."

"But you don't care that I-"

"Your father did it, not you. You had no control."

"But you don't think I'm a slut or sick, since this is my father we're talking about?"

Timex chuckled weakly. "If anything, I'm sick and a slut. Well, if I was a girl. But I'm definitely sick." He rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Honestly, most of the girls I made love with I picked in bars and taverns and pubs. They were drunk. Didn't take much convincing. And I was a total stranger."

His bright violet eyes looked into Ularxa's blue-green ones, and he gently smiled, trying to convince her. "You did nothing. You're innocent. Sure, you lost your virginity, but it was unwilling. I lost mine on purpose. If they can accept me, they'll accept you. It's not your fault. I'll be back in a bit." He started towards the door.

"Timex?" Ularxa whispered. Timex turned back around and back to Ularxa.

"Yes?"

"Thanks."

Timex smiled. "Any time." He gently pushed his bandana down and pressed his lips to the girl's forehead. He pulled his bandana back over his mouth and walked off.


Ularxa's Journal, Day Thirty-seven

I was ready to die. I wanted it. I tried to kill myself, but Dynilexs saved me. She doesn't want me to die. I guess I can be grateful. But what surprises me is that Timex was there when I woke up. He asked me if I wanted to start over, but it might've had to do with my past. But I accepted. Perhaps it was a good thing I attempted suicide. If I hadn't, who knows how long that would've lasted inside. Plus, maybe I have wanted to try being with Timex. But I know that things can only go for the better now.
