Mending Fences part 3 (Violence & Non-Con Sex warning)

Jean Luc was getting his belongings in order when his communicator chirped, "Picard here".

"Riker here sir, we just arrived back in orbit and are ready to transport you and Marie. Standing by for your
orders."

Jean Luc just got the help he needed, there was no way he was going to find Beverly alone, after all it was a
huge mountain, "Number one, transport Marie up now but I will be remaining for a while longer."

Riker didn't understand, "Sir?"

Jean Luc had a feeling in his gut that something was terribly wrong with Beverly he had to take action now
if he was going to help her. "I don't have time to explain, just beam Marie up now. One more thing Will,
scan the mountain for human life signs and beam up whatever you find."

"Sir, we can scan the mountain but the unique mineral deposits found in the mountain will prevent transport
of anything or anyone. We will be able to track a person and read who it is but, I am sorry sir, we cannot
transport. If I may ask Captain, Who's life signs are we looking for? It will help narrow the search
parameters." Will's curiosity was perked.

Jean Luc replied with only two words "Beverly Crusher."

Everyone on the bridge turned toward Riker. Will simply responded "Aye Sir."

******************************************************************************************************************

Only a few moments had past before Beverly awoke again. This time when she opened her eyes and tried to
move, she found that her wrists were tied to the posts of the bed.

She tried to sit up but the ropes were too tight and prevented her movement. Her struggles alerted her
abductor to the fact that she was indeed conscious again.

The shadowy figure emerged from the corner of the room and Beverly gasped in horror. It was the first time
she was face to face with her attacker. He was at least twice her size in mass and was about five inches taller
the she was.

He had a look in his eyes that frightened Beverly to death, she had never seen such hatred in one mans eyes,
but there was something else she saw that scared her more than the hatred, she saw lust, pure unmitigated
lust.

******************************************************************************************************************

"Number One, try to land the shuttle at coordinates we received from the Enterprise."

"I'm afraid I can't sir. The mineral deposits are causing a flux in the engine reactor, the closest we'll be able
to get to her location will be the mountain base," Riker reported.

"Make it so," Picard said as he moved to the rear of the shuttle to prepare for his departure.

"Will, I am sensing something terribly wrong with Beverly but I don't know what it is. She's in danger, we
must hurry," Deanna moaned softly.

Will nodded in understanding, "Enterprise, this is Commander Riker, please transport a vehicle of some sort
that will help us maneuver up the mountain quickly."

"This is Commander Data, none of the vehicles we have will work due to the interference with the…"

"Data, this is extremely important, I don't care what you beam down just as long as it will get us up the
mountain quickly. Time is of the essence."

"Sir, the only thing in our inventory is a two wheeled all terrain vehicle, but I must warn you, it has not been
tested yet. Also, unfortunately, we only have one of those, will that be enough?"

Riker sighed. "Yes, that will have to do, Data, please beam it down to the coordinates I am sending."

"Aye, sir."

Riker landed the shuttle at the base of the mountain and the three exited the shuttlecraft quickly. Riker
handed a phaser to Captain Picard, "Sir, there was only one ATV onboard, so you will be traveling alone. I
will monitor your progress and give you directions to her location from here. Good luck sir."

"Captain, I'm sensing that Beverly's in horrible danger, please hurry."

Picard nodded in agreement and quickly mounted the ATV and made his way quickly up the mountainside.

***************************************************************************************************************

The man did not speak as he approached Beverly, he bent down and tightened the ropes securing her wrists,
never taking his eyes off her face. When he was confident she would not be able to escape, he reached for
the tear in her blouse and ripped it completely off her body. A barely audible whimper escaped from
Beverly's throat and tears had started to trickle down her dirty face.

*Oh god, please, NO* her own voice echoed in her head.

The man reached for the button on her shorts, the instant the button came undone, she brought her leg up
and kneed him in the groin. Her attacker merely sneered as he reached for a handful of her auburn locks,
smashing her skull into the headboard adding fresh warm blood to the dried blood from earlier. She wanted
to fade into unconsciousness but willed herself to remain awake.

As the man pulled Beverly's shorts off her trembling body, she screamed as loud as she could. "NO, NO!"

Her attacker slapped her so hard, she could have sworn she saw stars. She managed to shake off the blow to
her head and stay conscious; all the while continuing her screams "NO".

The man unleashed a series of punches to her mouth, and her lower body in attempt to break her spirit;
however, Beverly continued to scream. She continued to scream louder still as the man forced himself into
her body.

She could not believe this was happening to her, all her Starfleet training and Worf's self defense classes
did not prepare her for fighting off a rapist.

"PLEASE, NO" Beverly cried with every touch he placed on her battered and bruised skin.

"Oh god, please help me" she screamed with every thrust into her body.

She closed her swollen eyes and cried. Her mind was about to explode from her mental screams when she
heard the door burst open.

The man suddenly stopped his brutal thrusting into her body and she forced herself to open her eyes.
"Jean Luc!!! Please help me!" she cried.

Jean Luc spoke in a voice so deep- so low and full of rage "Get off of her!"

"You don't belong here stranger, go back where you came from and leave us to our fun." The man seethed.

Jean Luc charged the man that was hurting his beloved Beverly. He grabbed him by the hair and threw him
at the nearest wall. "If a woman screams like that… she is not having fun!!! When a woman says no, she
means NO!"

He moved toward Beverly and began to untie her. Beverly pushed him away, flinching in pain, after one of
her wrists was freed from the ropes, untying the remaining knots herself.

The man rebounded faster than Jean Luc expected and rushed for him, punching him and knocking him off
balance. As Jean Luc back pedaled, trying to catch his footing, the phaser he was carrying fell and skid to a
halt in front of a shaking Beverly.

Jean Luc was fighting and losing the battle with the man twice his size. As the mountain man was about to
deliver a potentially deadly blow to Jean Luc's head, Beverly picked up the phaser and fired. The phaser was
set on maximum and her attacker disintegrated in front of her eyes. She immediately dropped to the floor
shaking and sobbing uncontrollably.

She heard a voice calling her name, "Jean Luc?"

"Beverly, it's OK , yes it's me. Everything is going to be all right. You are safe now."

Beverly didn't say one word after she heard Jean Luc's voice; she just started sobbing harder. Jean Luc tried
to hold her but she just pulled away from him.

He HAD to get her back to the Enterprise. She needed medical treatment; she was beaten very badly and was
slipping into shock. He couldn't help her up here in the mountains. He wrapped her bruised and naked body
in a blanket. With Beverly in his arms he mounted the ATV and headed back down toward the shuttle where
Will & Deanna waited.

They were half way down the mountain before Beverly spoke. "Jean Luc, Please don't mention any of this
to anyone. I don't want anyone to know."

"Beverly, what am I supposed to say, Riker and Troi are waiting at the bottom of the mountain, am I just
supposed to put you on the shuttle and head back to the Enterprise like nothing happened?"

"NOTHING happened Jean Luc, understand, nothing. Please, just this once, do what I ask of you."

"Beverly, how am I supposed to explain your injuries? You have extremely bad bruises and possibly a few
broken bones!"

Jean Luc's concern was not heard, Beverly began to shake violently, she was in shock. He had to get her to
the shuttle, he could get her help there. It took all the strength he had to hold onto her and still stay in
control of the ATV as she shook. Through the clearing he could see the shuttle, Will and Deanna were
waiting outside.

"Beverly, we are almost there, just hang on." She didn't hear him, she was unconscious again.

Deanna saw them approaching first. " Captain, My god, what happened?"

"Not now Counselor, Beverly is in shock, I believe she hit her head more then once, she needs a doctor right
away."

Deanna opened her mind to the captain's feelings, she was confused at what she felt emanating from him.
She felt that the captain was deeply concerned for Beverly, but it was the two other emotions he was feeling
that confused her. He felt an enormous amount of guilt and hatred. She couldn't understand what Picard felt
guilty about until she opened her mind to the unconscious Beverly. Almost immediately she threw her
mental walls back up. The thoughts and feelings raging through Beverly's mind were enough to knock
Deanna off balance.

As Riker reached out to steady Deanna, he caught a glimpse at her face and saw the tears welling up in her
eyes. "Deanna? What's wrong?"

She just shook her head "We have to get back to the Enterprise, Beverly needs help."

Will and Deanna climbed into the forward cabin of the shuttle and started the ascent back to the Enterprise.
Picard remained in the back of the shuttle cradling the still unconscious Beverly in his arms.
