Hope you reviewed the last chapter. I know you know how to use that review button! Next chapter.
I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak - But I think you're wrong
I think you're already leaving
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
But now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure
I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - I think too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing
If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you
I bet you're hard to get over
I bet the room just won't shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
I bet you need - more than you mind
I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - I think too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing
If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you
I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - do I talk too much
I know it's wrong it's a problem I'm dealing
"If you're Gone" Matchbox Twenty
Rin floated into the waking world on wings of pain. When she opened her eyes, she was in her room, in her bed. Dycedarg sat at her desk, watching her sleep. The gleam in his eyes disturbed Rin greatly; it was something selfish and cruel. He had not yet noticed that she was awake, and Rin took the opportunity to study his face. It appeared that something deep within those eyes of stone had snapped. A spasm of pain tore through the black haired girl's midsection and Rin could not stop the sound slipping from her throat. Dycedarg's eyes immediately focused on her still form and he spoke, giving a much required explanation.
"Well, for a while there I was not sure of you ever waking. Yes I am aware that you are wondering why I had you brought here in such a manner. It is because if you reject my proposition, no one will ever know." Rin's eyes widened sharply at the tone Dycedarg used. He seemed almost.unhinged. He was looking at her oddly as well, as if she was an eligible woman, and not his foster sister. It scared her, the look in his eyes, the way he moved, all these things were somehow predatory and frightening. Rin watched him, gently releasing the energy she had horded to control the skills her brother had taught her. If the Duke made even one wrong move, he would die in the utmost degrees of pain.
"My dear Rin, I want you to be my mistress. Oh, don't look like that my pet. I would marry you, but you are not a noble. I would see to it that you are well taken care of, and any children you have would be recognized as mine." Dycedarg looked at her hungrily, eyeing her like a piece of meat, or an experienced whore willing to give him a free one. It appeared that he could not conceive of being rejected, but if he was, he had prepared to make it look like the work of the Death Corps. Rin looked at him with disgust, the thought of her disgracing herself to be a mere mistress! Her answer was sharp and decisive.
"Your Grace," Rin voice started out sweet, but soon became mocking venom guaranteed to destroy. "I would sooner marry a leprous pig than become your mistress!!"
Dycedarg acted instantly, giving Rin no chance to react to his sudden movement. It seemed that he reached her bedside in seconds and had her arms pinned over her head. Rin struggled, but he was many years older and far stronger than she, and her efforts were fruitless. Before she could scream, Dycedarg had his lips pressed against hers, demanding and vile, a contact the beautiful girl with green eyes loathed. She wanted to scream, to fight, yet her youthful body had no effect against the forceful body of the man she considered her big brother. She did not want her first time with a man to be like this, she wanted to be with Ramza, she wanted Ramza to save her. Rin found amazing strength deep within her soul, strength that unleashed the skills that her ancestors had died to keep secret. Dycedarg was flung to the other side of her bedroom by the force of the energy released.
Rin knew that in her weakened state she would not hold out for long, but she would sooner die than be taken by the Duke. Rin looked around the room desperately. Her eyes passed over her salvation three times before she realized it. The window! She saw Dycedarg move to rise and she sent another burst of energy, knocking him unconscious. She ran to the window and opened it frantically, peering out into the dark night. She was in a tower, but below her was tied Zalbag's horse. It was certain suicide, but, unless she could grow wings, she would perish, and it was better to be dead than raped by Dycedarg. She looked back at the stirring Duke and without further hesitation leaped from the window.
As she fell, Rin heard a scream torn from her own throat, and she felt piercing pain on her shoulders, felt the blood running down her arms. The pain was the last thing she felt before she gave inn to the darkness.
