:Ruined:
"The captains later for her shift," Natarle Badgiruel pointed out on the bridge once she noticed it was 10 minutes past when Murrue was supposed to be there.
She needed some sleep too. She knew the captain had a lot on her hangs but geez, she hadn't slept for the past 13 hours!
"Maybe someone should go check on her to see if she's alright," Milly spoke up as she tuned in her chair to face Natarle.
"Yeah," Natarle agreed.
She pressed one of the buttons on the armrest to Murrue's chair that she was currently sitting in to relay a message down to the hangar. Mr. Murdoch was the one who answered the line.
"What can I help you with Lt.?" He spoke up with his loud rugged voice.
"Is Commander La Flaga down there, I need to ask him a question," Natarle spoke into the phone as she waited patiently for him to get Mu.
"What is it Natarle?" Mu spoke a little more quietly than Murdoch, so Natarle was able to pull the phone closer to her ear than it was before.
"Could you go check on Captain Ramius, she was supposed to be here for her shift 10 minutes ago," Natarle explained while she watched Mu's expression change from bored to worried in a matter of seconds.
"Well that's definitely not like her, sure, I'll go check up on her now," Mu answered back to her as he broke the link.
Natarle sighed he she rested her head in her palm. She could wait a few more minutes, hopefully.
Mu made his way slowly down the hallway to Murrue's room, the familiar route seeming longer than it usually is for some reason. He could almost smell that something was wrong, there was a lingering scent in the air, it was a cross between her shampoo and men's cologne. That made him suspicious. He slowly made his way to her door at first knocking impatiently, and then hit the buzzer, he then lost all patience and let himself in.
It was dark, and eerily quiet, it was way too quiet for his liking. He flipped on the lights.
There she was, lying on the ground, blood spattered here and there on her clothes and in her hair, on her face even. She pulled herself up to look at him, the look in her eyes deathly chilling as she spoke.
"Please don't, please don't leave me, please don't," She struggled for words as sobs threatened to wrack her body.
It was then when he started to panic. He ran over and dropped down on the ground next to her, not wanting to touch her, but wanting to grab her and pull her into his arms so badly. He waited until she lunged herself at him and finally broke down into sobs heavy enough to shake the both of them violently. He could only sit there and listen, for once, Mu had nothing to say.
Up in the bridge, Natarle tapped a finger impatiently on her arm rest. This was taking far too long, she decided that she was going to see herself to Murrue's quarters and find out just what the hell was going on here.
She made her way down the hallway that led to Murrue's room. As she neared her captain's room, she could've sworn she heard sobs. As she got closer, she confirmed that she defiantly heard sobbing, and she knew where it was coming from too.
When she entered the room, she saw what she was at least expecting to see. Murrue curled up in Mu's arms sobbing uncontrollably as he held tightly to her. She quickly rushed over to the scene and tried to figure out what happened.
"Mu, what-
"I don't know, the only thin I heard her say since I got here was don't leave me," Mu explained she Murrue continued to sob.
Natarle looked her over, bloody mess, ruffled hair, wrinkled clothing, scared out of her mind, afraid to be left alone. It's almost as if she was-
"Raped," Natarle muttered.
"What?" Mu questioned, not wanting to hear what he thought he just heard again.
"It looks as if was…raped," Natarle whispered to the commander.
"But who would-
"That prisoner, he was really pissed at Murrue for having him locked up, and he wasn't detained very well, so maybe-
Natarle didn't have to say anymore before they both had the same thought. Mu picked Murrue up easily in his arms and carried her to the infirmary. He flew through the door and straight to a bed to lay her in while Natarle flagged the doctor down.
"What happened?" He questioned the two.
"Possible rape, that's the only thing that comes clearly to mind." Mu spoke up, not taking an eye off of Murrue.
"I'll have her tested immediately," The doctor announced as one of his nurses brought a syringe and a small vile to put the blood in.
Mu and Natarle held Murrue down lightly as the doctor stuck her with the needle until he got the amount of blood that he needed. After the doctor rushed away to the blood lab, Mu sat down on the stool next to Murrue's bed and held her hand. Natarle took to pacing back and forth across the room. It was only about a half hours time before the doctor came back with the results.
"The results came back…positive," The doctor announced sullenly.
Mu and Natarle looked sadly at the ground.
"She will recover, but it will take time and care. She'll need someone by her side at all times, no matter what." He reported as Mu and Natarle exchanged a glance.
"Me and Natarle can do it, I'm sure the kids would've mind pitching in either," Mu decided.
"Right," Natarle nodded sadly.
After about 10 minutes of discussing a few things with the doctor, Mu was finally able to get a moment to collect his thoughts. Murrue was now sleeping lightly, although her grip on his hand didn't loosen one bit.
He finally decided at the end of the seemly never ending circle of thoughts, that she was ruined, and he might be the only one that could fix her, and he would, no matter how long it took, and no matter what the consequences, because nothing could even make him stop loving her, even if it meant him not being able to hold her in his arms, or kiss her, or spend the cold nights next to her warm body for a long time. It didn't matter, he loved her, and nothing would ever stop that. 3
