Part Eleven: The Truth

Adam had been right about Brennan; he'd made a remarkable recovery. By the end of the two weeks, he was back to his normal self.

"Hey Brennan, you want to go out and celebrate tonight? It being your first day back and you kicking some serious ass today." Nicole hollered over the railing. Since his recovery, he'd been a lot less critical of Nicole and Will and had become pretty good friends with them both.

"Actually I think that me and Shal are going to stay in tonight and have our own little celebration." Brennan said smiling, "You guys go out though, have fun."

"Alright, you two have fun. We'll see you later."

Later that night Shalimar and Brennan were lounging comfortably on her bed when she turned over to look at him. "Brennan there's something I need to tell you. I wasn't completely honest with out about what happened at the Strand."

Shalimar pulled away and started pacing the bedroom. "What is it Shal? It's okay. Just tell me."

"When I was there Gabriel had removed my free will. He had moved my conscience to the back of my own mind where I couldn't get at it. It was kind of like being in a cage in my head and not being able to reach the keys. Anything he asked me to do, I did." Shalimar said starting to get upset. It was unlike her but she couldn't help it, "After parading me around for an hour or two he brought me two his room where he, he, he asked me to sleep with him."

Upon hearing this Brennan flew into a rage. He hit the nearest wall he could find and started shouting, "I can't believe this happened! I can't believe it!"

Seeing the rage Brennan flew into Shalimar herself started yelling, "You think I wanted him to rape me. I couldn't say no Brennan. In fact, he forced me to say YES! He raped me and you're yelling at me. Get out of my room and don't ever come back!"

Before Brennan could say anything, Shalimar started to pull him out of the room when an unexpected and uncontrollable surge flew through her body. She screamed out in pain before collapsing unconscious on the ground.

AN: Sorry it's so short but I didn't want to put the next part with it. It just wouldn't have made any sense. Hope you enjoy.
