Satis Pov

He looked at the trembling girl, she was absolutely pitiful, naked as the day she was born with only the avatar cloak covering her, tensely she sensed his presence, and the old squid sighed, not even attempting a fake smile, knowing by now it was probably hopeless to try to ease the girl and say everything was ok. To her it probably was not, he could see it in her eyes, whatever that Nourasian did, it would haunt and affect her for the rest of her life, and as the avatar, well... he had previously sensed the girl's emotional scars the moment he saw her. He had sensed it was caused by the earth team's leader. Don Wei, a lean man, he had once been attractive but that was before stress and grief took hold of him, and that the man was younger than he looked, others would call him old, but Satis had a feeling that the man was actually still quite young but grief had taken away his youth as well as his looks, though still handsome just not as he used to be. It was, but he knew and sensed the conflict between the man and the girl, father and daughter, though at first, the father did not, he knew by now the father did. And the daughter, as he stared at the young Eva who now clung desperately to the cloak like a deer in the headlights she was frozen in fear utterly terrified of him, but he could also sense, that she had no idea what to do. He had studied her before and by now he knew she was confused alone and scared, and now she had a new conflict, a new scar in her heart, not caused by her father this time, but by a friend, a friend who loved her to the point of madness.

Prince Aikka.

And that was where he now felt the greatest of pity for this poor girl, it was like she was a puppet a plaything of fate that could be tortured abused and hurt whenever a celestial being felt like it, and he knew the girl did not deserve it, he knew her scars he sensed it, and he felt the greatest of pity for her, he sighed. Then felt something, a sort of other presence, it was tense, but it passed away quickly, but he had an inkling it would cause trouble in the race, could it be... He shook his head, not now, he'd have to ask the creators for help on this matter and goodness knows what they're like. Sighing he simply gave up and coughed, waking the girl from her stupor. "I brought you some clothes, my dear."

"Tt-thank you." She was tensed rigid and afraid, trembling as if any movement he made could potentially harm her, He sighed faking a smile as he handed her a dress. It was a simple dress, and from what Satis could tell a timeless dress in earth fashion, simple, feminine and almost traditional, if you will. A summer dress. A white summer dress, it's skirt layered by invisible lines, giving off a triangular flair in each layer, the top two frill lines starting from the head to the end of the torso, string frilly, but thin and modest and to top it all of a red bow in the middle of the neckline. Simple cute and traditional. But Satis had a feeling that this kind of clothing was probably different from what the girl usually wore, that this wasn't to her taste. Taste, Satis had no idea what that meant. Earth clothing, especially Female fashion was confusing to him after all. And he had limited knowledge to it.

Any other time, Satis had a feeling Eva also known as Molly, would probably turn her nose to that outfit or fake a smile take the dress but never wear it, but the poor child was too broken to even think right now, she accepted the dress with full grace, as she let the cloak fall down her shoulders, unleashing her naked form. Her breast rather well proportioned for her age, pink nipples hardened and inviting skin so soft looking and curves in all the right places. Satis may have been old, ancient even, but he had eyes and he could see why the girl had attracted such attentions. She was beautiful, stunning a true lovely so mesmerizing seeing her naked form could take one's breathe away. But alas, what had that beauty given her? Nothing but grief and trouble, for having her mother's looks she was abandoned for having a beauty so rare she was raped. Well it wasn't exactly her beauty's fault that she was raped more like it was her personality her charm that got her raped for the man who raped her had loved her. Prince Aikka had loved her and only wanted to be with her, nothing less, nothing more, but in truth the girl's life had been nothing but grief. Satis could see the young woman tense as she was beginning to notice that he was staring at her and he thought it common courtesy or at least kind mercy to look away to let her have her privacy. So he looked away.

"I'm done" She told him as if sensing his respect, and what he saw made him gasp. The dress suited her or almost did, the white gown complimented her angelic and delicate features, matching the pale hue of her skin and giving her black locks an ebony sheen, but the dress contrasted with her short hair in a wrong way, he could tell the outfit suited someone with long hair and blatantly made it obvious the girl's face shape and features, angelic and delicate would look better with long hair, long hair to compliment her face, long hair to make it more obvious that the girl resembled a porcelain doll. For the girl was beautiful like an angel in human form but her sense of style her sense of clothing seemed to contrast and go against the features the gods had blessed her with to hide her incomparable beauty as much as it could, but it didn't.

Sati's had an inkling that long ago, if not for the pain throbbing in her heart, that her sense of style would have been totally different from what it was, that the dress would be something she would normally wear, that long ago, as a child this was her taste, but it wasn't. For the dark style she usually wore was a symbolism of the pain she had gone through of the hardships she endured showing itself fully, but because of that, the girl looked worse for wear. Beautiful but worse for wear.

"Do you want any food or drink before you go?"

The girl shook her head.

Satis nodded in understanding.

The awkward silenced filled the room, and it felt suffocating in it's own cruel way. Satis felt like he needed to put a stop to it.

" You know I think you'd look better with long hair."

The girl gave him a strange look."

" It would really compliment your features."

The girl gave a small smile. "Thank you, but I think I prefer it short. Gives me more of a flair."

"Pity cause you'd look lovely with long hair, hair to prettify those features even more."

The girl stomped her foot, "Augg, I hate it when men tell me that I need to have long hair! My hair is perfectly fine the way it is, so I don't need your fashion advice, nor siree, no thank-" It was then Eva realized what Satis had done, and she broke up into giggles, laughing with so much mirth, you would think she hadn't been raped last night and it was all a good story, a story to laugh about. But alas she had, and the laughter soon died down, as again she gave of this sad smile. "Thanks Satis, but I think this is something I need to carry out on my own.

The Avatar nodded, sadly, as he again tried to fill the awkward silence with a happy mirth "You know it's a pity, you look worse for wear in that, long hair would look so good on you." It was then he realized what he had done 50 years ago." You know it's a pity you don't like long hair, because I remember I placed a charm on that dress, that made sure that the wearer would have their hair..."

It was then a portal door opened and Eva left to go to the earth team did Satis notice she wasn't listening

... Grow longer over night and stay long for the rest of that person's life because I have a hair fetish." Satis gave a sad smile as he followed the girl, hoping his presence would make her return to the earth temple a little bit easier.

Don Wei's Pov

He's eye was twitching like a crazed lunatic's eye would. Every now and then or every day, he had no idea he hardly watched movies anymore, his whole life after Maya's death and his return with Rick, had been only work, work, work, with the exercise and occasional blood donation to keep Eva alive for a while, since they both had a rare blood type. But other than that just Work, so he had no idea if his eye twitched, it probably was as he interviewed or more accurately interrogated the 17 year old cadet chosen to be their shooter named Jordan C Wilde, or in short Jordan. He was trying to keep his voice calm as the 17 year old trembled.

"So you're telling me. You can't find your partner any where, at all?! And she just disappeared last night, out of the blue?!" The shooter gulped, just straight out gulped, when he told him, Molly was missing the youth was in his undies. A wife beater undershirt and black boxers as he frantically called out that Molly was missing. And Don felt the whole world just crashed, destroyed, like the way he felt when Maya died. It was only a moment ago..

He was reading his daughter's school report, courtesy of Stern, who was too nervous and terrified to even argue, seeing as she had lost his precious daughter. Normally she wouldn't do this, he had a feeling, she usually didn't when she curtly yelled at him, the first time he called her on Oban to check on the well being of his daughter. But she did. Truth be told, it might have been because of shock, seeing as this was the first time in 10 years he had even asked to speak to Eva. And he just asked out of the blue. So yeah shock was there. The woman had given his daughter's school record with a nervous smile, all he had to do was give her a look, and she ended communications with Eva's school record transported to him. Don Wei mentally sighed as he scrolled over Eva's report.

And what he found was kind of troubling.

it seemed like the girl was as, Mrs. Stern so lovingly put it, an utter delinquent. Behavior:

Highly unstatisfactory And needs improvement.

dentention record: That's practically her second bed room.

He sighed at that comment. "Eva..." He muttered. Well to be fair, he hadn't really thought her any manners, nor how to behave for that matter, as she so lovingly reminded him on their 5th race in the pre-selections. And it truly showed in her report cards and the comments the teachers made. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of person his daughter had been at that school. If she acted in anyway like she was with him well... it was probably ugly.

And as if to confirm his suspicion on how she acted in that school, he read Mrs. Stern's comments about her. What he saw made him instantly regret choosing that school, and made him swore that though he wasn't sure what would happen when they returned back to earth, she was sure as hell,not going to return there. As he continued to read Mrs. Stern's comments about his precious daughter.

I swear I will wring that little bitches neck, She is an utter vixen. And I wouldn't be surprise if that bitch had, been a little whore and slept with a boy or two. In fact I wouldn't mind handing her over to some of our more perverted teachers and let them have their way with her. In fact I've been fantasizing on what they'd do to her like...

And that's when Don Wei couldn't stand reading anymore of this crap, this was just too disturbing. He'd have a right to sue that woman, but she could probably use his abandonment of his daughter against him. Not in court or law of course, he knew his way around, learned it from his father and mother, being the son of one of the most powerful families in China, really helps with strategy, how else could he be such an amazing coach? But she could use it to guilt trip him, and make his daughter hate him more than she already did. And Don Wei had a feeling Eva utterly despised him, very much. After all what had he done?

Abandon her when she needed him most, and basically forgot she even existed for 10 years. God he was a terrible father. One of the worst. In fact, if their was a title for worst father of the year he'd win Straight down, unominously all would vote for him. The worst father of the year for a straight ten years. God ,he hated himself.

Tears dropped down his cheek as the memory of Maya then Eva flooded his mind, all the memories he'd push away now came back with a vengeance, it felt like it would kill him. It wasn't Eva's fault not truly, more likely his. What did he expect, going back to racing?

Eventually the memories would come back to him, abandoning Eva just made it worse by the fact that she was now his pilot, and her determination to race. How he pushed her to race...

"Sir!"

He was interrupted from his self-pity by Jordan's frantic yells."

"Yes what is it?"

Jordan looked at him for a minute."

"Well?! I haven't got all day! Spit it out!"

"Yeah, well... I'm sorry. But sir, were you crying?"

It was then Don noticed the tears dripping down his cheeks," and just coughed "Something in my eye."

"Oh I see."

"Now what is it you wanted to tell me?"

The youth was now frantic, then relaxed as if realizing something. "Well you see sir, Molly's missing."

He looked at Jordan. "I'm sorry what?"

"She's missing sir, and I can't find her anywhere, I mean her clothes are still here... But..."

"And how do you know that?" he felt his daddy overprotective mode hit him, for Molly was the pseudoname Eva gave herself when he failed to recognize his own flesh and blood. She understandably did not want to tell him, and still didn't."

"Uhh, well you see, heh heh, I uhh."

"You're sleeping in the control room for now on."

"Yes sir."

'sick pervert' Don couldn't help but think. And he had been sleeping with his little girl for 5 days, separate beds but same room, in her underwear. The thought now caused violent flip flops in his stomach, and he had an urge to castrate the boy right here and now.

But never mind that, the point was, Eva was missing.

It was then he noticed that the boy was now clam, and that was when his eye twitched and exasperation hit him full force. "Why aren't you worried?!"

"Uhh well, you see sir, it's just that, I've gotten used to, I mean I've learned that she's prone to these sorts of things, so it shouldn't really be something we should be worried about, so..."

"But by prone you mean..."

"I mean that it's not unusual for her to be curious, so she could have just went out so..."

"In her underwear?! Do you really think she's the type to just waltz out naked." god he hoped not.

"Well she does..." And Jordan stopped mid sentence, At Don Wei's death glare as the man decided to interrogate him further."

And that's when we return back to this moment, the middle of the night, worrying about his child. He clasped his palm to his face.. "Never mind that, go look for her, she has to be somewhere in this temple.

Jordan nodded absolutely gulping and trembling in fear.

"Yes sir."

Don Wei just sighed, as he remembered that so far he didn't know his own flesh and blood that well, and that's when guilt hit him full force again. Which was just as bad or worse as the guilt he felt after Maya's death. He sighed trying to bury it, but then decided against it, what mattered was finding Eva right now, but where? He had no clue where. The youth was no help, seeing that he was bumbling through ever creak and cavern in the module, as Don Wei marched to Stan and Koji's accommodations, and roughly woke them up.

"Wha?!" Stan groaned as Koji fell face first into the ground. Sir, do you have any idea what time it is?! Don just gave them a look.

"Do I look like I care?!"

Stan growled, "listen sir, I know you're a workaholic but.."

"Molly's missing."

Both gave him a dumbfounded look.

"Sir are you su-"

"Go help Jordan find her, now!"

"But sir, are you sure she's missing? She could've just gone out."

"In her underwear?"

"Yeah well, she could just be the type that..."

Koji didn't finish that sentence as Don gave him a death glare."

"Never mind, let's go look for her." And Stan followed, not terrified just too, stupefied by Don Wei's behavior to say a thing.

They searched all night, but still they couldn't find her. As the sunlight kissed his skin, Don felt panic reach him and he was fairly tempted to go outside and find her himself, only for the portal door to glow a lumuscent blue as Eva returned.

Relief filled his veins only to be replaced by worried anger as he was ready to reprimand her for her little disappearing act only to stop at the empty look of his daughter's eyes as they just stared at him, ehuasted and filled with pain, he didn't even notice the change of dress. Stan, Koji and Jordan ran up to her, ready to reprimand her for her little stunt only to stop as she walked passed them totally dejected.

He looked ahead, not knowing the cause but utterly distraught t his daughter's pain, it was only when Satis appeared, did he pay attention to the others as his eyes looked at the ancient alien asking what the hell happened?

Satis gave him a knowing look, as if knowing his secret, but again the alien sighed, as he shook his head. The father just looked at the alien, as the avatar's servant simple stated, I added new portals to the modules. And the humans now noticed the new blue doors ready to lead them somewhere. "They'll led you to earth, to finish any job or role you have, Master Wei, your portal to your work or anywhere else you need to be is at your office, for the rest, your portals are in your rooms, the ones outside will lead you to anywhere on your planet to wish to go." The team gave the elder a questioning look, "The great race will have to have period of piece or rest."

"And how long will this rest be?"

The squid was silent for a moment, as if trying to remember something. "About earth 9 months."

9 months, why 9 months? But before could ask, the alien disappeared leaving the men totally baffled.

Eva's Pov

She looked around the bathroom, at the tub flowing rich clear liquid water, ready for a bath as she dipped her hand in it. The cool water both but and soothed her skin, her skin which had been touched. She traced her hand over the bite marks as she recalled last night, his hand all over her body, his tongue tasting every inch of her. Tears dripped down her cheeks as she tried so hard to forget, but to no avail. The memory still stood. And why not? As she felt the tingling hurt in between her legs, he had taken her, he had taken her virginity, her first time, the time she had the right to choose when to give up, if ever. He had taken her in and spat her out, and now she felt like shit. She was dirty every part of her body was filth.

She washed herself, desperately attempting to remove the filth, to remove the sin. But no, it was still there. Her skin began to turn red as she furiously rubbed off the filth as best as she could, but to no avail, her dress, now see through showing off her perky breast with it's pink nipples as the soaked fabric clung to her like a second skin as she tried to make herself clean again, but to no avail. Tears dripped down her cheeks as the cold air hit her like a dozen sharp needles pinching her skin but she still was not clean. And then she vomited
