The wind blew gently making the cold drops from the sky softly hit her face. She groggily opened her eyes and saw a grey sky looking down at her. She was about to move when she felt a pain between her legs and on her side. She put her hand to her side and felt a wound. She took her hand away and noticed blood on her torn shirt. She lifted her head and saw that her pants had tears and rips in them. She put her head back down and closed her eyes wishing she would die. It happened not only once but twice… She opened her eyes again and slowly sat up then hugged her legs close to her chest. She slowly rocked herself back and fourth even though she felt pains when she did it. She put her head on her knees and started crying.
Tired and worried, he walked through the shack that led to Paopu Island. He reached the door and leaned against the wall inside the shack. He cringed at the thought of what could have happened to Ambrosine. He shook his head and walked through the door letting the soft rain hit him as he walked to the bending tree. When he arrived, he let his hand go through his silver hair and leaned against the tree, slowly falling against it. His aqua blue eyes watered as he thought of the blood he saw. Just then, he heard soft crying. He looked around and on the other side of the tree to see a human ball crying. He made his way to it and noticed who it was. He looked at the clothes and saw the rips and tears… then he saw it. There was a wound on her side that had dried blood on it. He shook his head and put his hand under the crying face. He lifted it up slowly until her eyes met his. The innocence in her eyes was completely gone. Then again, it seemed gone when he first saw her today. All that replaced her innocence at this moment was fear along with anger. She moved her head from his hand and looked toward the water. He bent on one knee and put a hand on her shoulder. She tensed up and slapped him then scooted away from him. He put his hand on his face and stared with wide eyes at the girl before him. She actually slapped him… He sat against the tree and watched as she sat there shaking and crying. He wanted to hold her but she didn't want anyone to touch her… He decided to take off the cloak he was wearing and put it on her carefully. As he did, she looked up at him so he could see her silver eyes and spoke.
"Riku…I'm sorry…it's just…"
Riku crouched near Ambrosine and noticed she tensed up. He made sure to make distance but not too much so he could still be near her. He held out his hand and she hesitated before she took his hand. He inched near her and noticed that her tension was loosening up. She looked his way and leaned against the tree trying to stand up. He helped her stand and put his arm carefully around her. She whimpered a bit and put her head on Riku's shoulder. He loosened his arm and took a step forward as did she. They walked without a word in the rain and slowly made their way to the shack. Riku lead her down the steps and sat her on the last step so she could rest. He sat beside her with his arms around her making sure she was warm. She looked up at him and was about to speak but Riku spoke first.
"Am…I'm so sorry… I should have been on time… I should have…"
He was stopped when he felt fingertips on his lips. She gave him a weak smile and spoke herself.
"Riku it's not your fault. It's mine. It's not… the first time this has happened…"
Riku gave her a weird look and she sighed before continuing.
"The real reason I came to Destiny Islands is because…"
She was cut off by loud thunder. She jumped a bit and leaned in closer to Riku. He noticed this and carefully placed one arm on her back and the other beneath her legs. He carefully picked her up and she struggled a bit then calmed down. As soon as he noticed this, he opened the door to the shack and carried her to his boat. He carefully placed her down in his boat then untied it. He pushed it away from shore a bit then carefully got in himself. He grabbed the oars and rowed toward the island where his house was. He had a hard time since the waters were ruff and on account he was tired from looking. Ambrosine kept offering help but he always declined.
When they finally got to his island, he tied up the boat then picked her up again. He went up the stairs of his house and pushed through the front door. He carried her up the stairs to his room and placed her on his bed. He ran downstairs and grabbed some antibiotics from the cabinet then ran back upstairs. She was sitting up on the bed when he reached the door. He walked over to her then placed the medicine down and moved her shirt away from her side. It wasn't much to move since the shirt was torn. He cleaned up the dry blood and put some medicine on her that made her whimper. When he was done, he put a bandage on her and told her to lie down. She let her head hit the pillow and looked into Riku's eyes. He sat in a chair next to the bed and watched her. She weakly smiled and he gave her one in return. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Riku stared at her sleeping form then looked out his window at the rain falling. Rain always made Ambrosine happy… What about now? He swore to himself that he would find whoever did this to her and kill him. He soon closed his eyes on dreams of how he would kill the one that hurt Ambrosine…
The warm sunlight hit her skin as she woke up. She sat up and groggily rubbed her eyes. She went to move but felt a little pain between her legs. She growled to herself and looked up to the chair beside the bed. Sleeping there was a silver haired boy with a toned body. She smiled to herself and walked carefully over to the chair. She placed a hand on his shoulder and laughed inwardly when he opened his big aqua blue eyes. He looked at her and put her hand in his. He stood up and she looked into his eyes. Concern and fear filled them making her want to kiss him but she couldn't. Her lips were swollen from when the hooded figure forced kisses onto her and she didn't feel comfortable about having any physical contact with anyone. Not even Riku who would do anything to save her… Instead she hugged him breathing in his scent of paopu fruit from hanging by the tree on Paopu Island. She loved how he smelled and took in a deep breath as if it was her last. He put his hand under her chin and lifted her head up so her eyes met his. As she looked in his eyes she could see her reflection. It was bruised and on her neck there was red mark showing off handprints. She wanted to break down in his arms but was afraid still of showing emotions. She was taken away from her thoughts when she heard his voice in a low whisper.
"Am… I need you to tell me what happened. I know it's hard but I need to know."
Ambrosine turned away from Riku and stared outside the window. How could she tell him what happened? Especially when it happened before and not just to her but to Yuffie too? She turned to Riku and took a deep breath. She was going to tell him about the first time she was raped and yesterday's rape…
