When they found Rena, she was a complete and utter mess. Originally she'd been wearing a skirt and button-up shirt over her bikini, but her shirt had been torn to shreds and her skirt ripped in pieces. Her hair was sprawled out over her face, and bite wounds covered her shoulders. Claw marks marked her chest as well as deep purple bruises. She looked like a broken doll.
Syaoron rushed over to her side; he noticed the marks on her neck, "Oh my god…" he whispered, placing his hand against her cheek. She was like ice.
"What the hell happened to her?" Sora shrieked.
"She's like ice." He said quietly.
"That's not good-She'll need a hospital." Fai said.
"We can't move her from here; we'll have to call the paramedics to the camp and then lead them here." Sora said.
"Well until then, a few of us should stay with her and some should wait back at the camp and call for the paramedics." Yuui said.
"I agree; I'll stay with my brother and Rena." Sora replied.
"I'll go back to the camp and get a blanket for her, and then come back." Fai said.
"I should explain to Sakura what's happened to Rena; she won't take it too well. Kei isn't around either; he might be back down at the rock climbing though, so after I've called an ambulance I'll call one of the other teachers to see if he's down there." Yuui told them.
"Alright; let's go. Stay safe you two." Fai spoke, leaving with Yuui to head back to the campsite.
"You too," Sora replied seriously, and then turned her attention back to her brother.
He hated to see Rena in such a horrifying state, so much that it was heartbreaking. He couldn't believe anyone could do something so disgusting, so terrifying to anyone. But anything was possible in this cruel and ugly world.
"It will be ok." She murmured soothingly to her younger brother.
"Look at her-she's covered in blood and she feels like ice!" he snapped. He didn't understand how anyone could say that she would be alright.
"Stop it! She will be ok. You have to believe that." Sora snapped back. He didn't say anything-couldn't say anything. He was too worried about the unconscious girl lying on the floor beside him.
Sakura looked up as the two blonde teachers entered the campsite, looking extremely worried. She stood as they walked over, "Did you find Rena?" she asked.
"We did; Sora and Syaoron are with her now. I've come to get a blanket for her… She needs an ambulance." Fai explained calmly. Sakura felt shock take over her body.
"It's…it's that bad…?" she whispered.
"We don't know exactly what happened to her, but…" Yuui trailed off.
Sakura turned to Syaoran and broke down in tears. He had hoped that Rena was ok, but apparently not.
"Where's Kei?" Syaoran asked.
"We still don't know. He wasn't with Rena, so I'll call the teachers down at the beach and see if he's back down there." Yuui said.
"Shit." He muttered.
"Sakura, could I ask you to get one of Rena's blankets please?" Fai asked softly.
She nodded and Syaoran let her go so she could walk over to her tent, pulling Rena's favourite fluffy purple blanket out.
"Here; it's hers…" she said, handing over the blanket.
"It might be best if you stay back here for now; wait until everything has been sorted out." Fai advised.
"I know…but it's so hard…" she whispered.
"You should go back over to Syaoran." The blonde told her.
She nodded and walked back over to the brunette who was speaking with Yuui.
While Fai headed back to where Rena was lying unconscious in the forest, Sakura waited while Yuui called an ambulance, explaining the situation at hand. He was asked to stay on the line, and so he asked Sakura to call one of the teachers down at the rock climbing activities to check to see if Kei was there. She did so, and was relieved to find that he was present down with the other students. She desperately wanted to go to her sister's side, but she knew she couldn't.
It didn't take long for the ambulance to arrive, and they were carrying a stretcher out with them. Yuui led them into the forest where Rena was lying on the floor. Her purple blanket was covering her, and Syaoron was still sitting beside her, refusing to move.
"Alright, are we able to have a look at her wounds?" the female paramedic asked.
Syaoron pulled the blanket back, revealing the wounds and the amount of blood that covered her body. They settled the stretcher down beside the young girls' body, and took a quick glance at her wounds.
"Can you help move her onto the stretcher please?" the woman asked him, and he obliged her request by shifting Rena gently onto the white surface, and pulled her blanket up over her. She whimpered a little, but didn't wake.
Syaoran held Sakura tightly as she cried silently, scared for her sister. Voices distracted her and she looked up; the paramedics walked up the path, her sister on the stretcher they were carrying underneath the purple blanket which she so adored.
"Rena!" she cried out her sister's name, and realised she was unconscious.
"What…what happened to her…?" Sakura whispered, standing up and running over before Syaoran could stop her. He immediately ran after her, trying to get her to stop but there was no point in trying.
"Show me my sister's wounds." Sakura said.
The paramedics looked at the teachers, "She's family." Yuui said.
"They aren't pretty; I'd advise against it." One of the paramedics said, trying to change Sakura's mind.
"I need to see her wounds." She spoke again.
Knowing that they weren't going to be able to change her mind, Sora pulled back the blanket. Sakura's eyes widened in shock, and she immediately knew who the culprit was. It was so goddamn obvious with that signature of his-the claw marks in her chest. She stepped back and they continued to the ambulance.
She turned to Syaoran and cried; her worst fear had occurred, and she had no idea how her sister would be when she woke.
"He attacked her Syaoran," she sobbed, "I don't know what to do anymore."
"I'm sorry…but I don't know either." He said sadly.
Fai walked over to Sakura to let her know who was going with Rena in the ambulance, "Sora and Syaoron are going with Rena to the hospital; they'll call once they're there." He said.
She nodded weakly, not looking up as tears continued to run down her face.
"How's my brother?" Syaoran asked.
"Upset." The blonde replied.
Syaoran didn't ask anything else; he didn't need to. He knew how upset his brother was. He knew that all he could do for now was comfort Sakura.
The two of them sat beneath the trees in the shade, waiting patiently. It was late afternoon when the phone call finally came through; the students were still down at the beach, messing around and having fun. That was what the other teachers had been told to do-to keep them occupied down at the beach until further notice. Sakura refused to leave Syaoran's side; she didn't think she'd be able to.
Yuui walked over and sat down with them.
"Sora just called." He said. Sakura looked up from having her face buried in Syaoran's chest; her eyes were red from crying.
"What did they say…?" She asked quietly.
"There were signs of rape…and her wounds are pretty severe… They want to send her to the hospital back home; we think it would be best if you and Syaoran went home as well. Sora will be going with you." Yuui answered.
"Ok…" she whispered, her voice trembling.
"How will he be dealt with?" Syaoran asked bitterly.
"It's a very delicate situation…Unless Rena presses charges against him, we can't really do much." He replied.
"So he's just going to get away with it?" Syaoran spat.
"We can remove him from the class, separating him from Rena at school, but that won't do much. He can still find ways to get to her." Yuui said-it was a sad suggestion, but that was really all they could do as the school.
"Just do that for now," Sakura said. "It's true; there isn't much the authorities can do. He's not a being that can be contained by prison alone, remember?" she whispered.
The blonde sighed, "Go pack your things; a taxi is on its way to pick you up. The school will pay for your fare."
Sakura forced herself to move over to her tent, manipulating her magic so that her clothes folded themselves neatly into her bag along with her other belongings as she just couldn't find the energy. Her sister's belongings did the same thing, finding their own way into their owner's bag in a neat and tidy fashion. She watched dully as her things packed themselves away, and then moved the bags out of the tent so she could take it down, only to find Chii and Tomoyo standing there looking very concerned.
"Hey…" she mumbled.
"We'll take care of the tent; just rest." Tomoyo said with a kind smile.
"Thank you…" Sakura whispered, taking them up on their offer and sitting on the grass beside her bags. She noticed that a couple of Syaoran's friends were helping him with his things too, but none of the other students were around. Few had been informed of what had happened, it seemed.
