No, you misconstrue this is not a Fatora bash or anything; If I explained everything then it'll spoil the whole story. And I don't think Fatora is a monster either. So why don't you wait till the story ends before jumping to conclusions, okay? _______________________________________________________________________________________________
Madness rising
Morning. Fatora was already up but her exact location was unknown. The sun was shining through a window in Fatora's room onto Alielle.
Some movement was noticed as Alielle regained consciousness. She awoke with a terrible headache. It felt as though she had been drinking too much or drugged.
Staggering to get back on her feet, sharp pains were going through her body; especially, her left arm.
She was standing beside Fatora's full-length mirror.
At the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of herself and turned to see. She gasped at the sight.
She body was badly bruised and full of scratches. There was a deep gash on her right cheek where blood was still dripping.
Her left arm had bruises on it. The most noticeable one was the one her wrist; where Fatora had clenched her.
She was hungry and dehydrated due to the beatings and bleeding. She needed to get something to eat.
She covered herself up with less revealing clothes and went out of Fatora's room.
While walking to the dining hall, she saw Makoto walking the opposite direction as she was.
"Good morning, Alielle. I…what happened to your face, Alielle?" said Makoto with his usual concern for everything look in his eyes.
"It's nothing, I fell earlier this morning" trying to disguise the obvious fact.
"I think you should have that treated. Y'know just in case."
"No, really Makoto. It's nothing to worry about. I'll be fine"
"Nonsense. I'm taking you to the doctor to patch that up right now"
Makoto grabbed Alielle's left arm; thinking there was nothing wrong with it.
"Aah!" Alielle recoiled from the pain.
"What's wrong?"
Makoto gently touched Alielle's hand and slowly pushed back her sleeve.
"What happened to your arm, Alielle? Did Fatora do this to you?" Makoto said in a stern voice.
Without even utter a single word, Makoto nodded.
"You don't want to see doctor because you might cause trouble to Fatora, right? It's okay. I think I've got something for your cuts and bruises back in my room. Let's go get it."
"Okay." She said in a small but grateful tone.
They walked together to Makoto's room. Neither noticed Fatora watching them from afar.
While rummaging through his many book and other miscellaneous items, Alielle sat on his bed.
"Found it! This is the stuff that I normally use when I used to get cuts and bruises from sports."
"Would you like me to put it on for you?"
"Yes. Yes, please."
Meanwhile, outside, Fatora was waiting for them to come out. She was getting jealous. "What if Alielle suddenly lost interest in her and fell for Makoto?", "What could they be doing in Makoto's room so long?" were some of the questions that passed her mind. If mood could change the color a person, Fatora would be dark green already. "I'm going to get you for cheating on me, Alielle!"
"Thanks, Makoto."
"I'm glad that I could help."
Alielle left Makoto's room with a smile on her face because it's rare to have a really nice guy like Makoto treat your wounds.
Fatora was not only dark green anymore but she was turning red in anger. She was certain that Alielle was cheating on her. She couldn't wait for tonight.
Nightfall.
Alielle wasn't too sure about sleeping in Fatora's room because of yesterday's incident. And that Fatora hadn't said sorry and made up.
But she was certain that Fatora was busy today. That's why she hasn't even seen her.
When Alielle entered Fatora's room, she was surprised that Fatora was in bed earlier than her.
"Hey, lover. Where've you been? I've been wanting you all day."
"Fatora!"
Alielle jumped on the bed and crawled next to Fatora.
"About yesterday, I was very mean to you. I had a bad day."
"It's okay."
"By the way, what were you doing in Makoto's room earlier today?"
"Oh, nothing much." Trying to hide the fact that she got treatment for her cuts and bruises inflicted by Fatora.
"You're cheating on me, aren't you?"
"No way. I wouldn't cheat on you, Fatora. I love you"
"Liar!"
'That' voice came back. It meant serious trouble for Alielle.
The night was almost like a repeat of last night.
Alielle nearly got her arm broken and her face smashed.
Fatora was extremely violent. Using ropes to tightly bind her young lover so she could burn her skin and batter what's left of Alielle.
The ropes weren't too friendly either; it ate at Alielle's flesh. Cutting deeper every time she struggled. Until her already bruised wrists were bleeding.
The only thing Fatora didn't do is kill Alielle. At least, not yet.
Fatora didn't even bother to loosen the binds after Alielle lost consciousness.
During the night, Alielle screamed a long and painful scream. Then Fatora silenced it by gagging Alielle.
Makoto, who was having trouble sleeping thinking of Alielle heard the scream but was to scared to move. He had to stop this but how?
