"The lieutenant should have never touched you like that...it was wrong of him to do..."the man said sympathetically.

She avoided eye contact with the man, while Iris's face remained voided of all emotion her hands didn't as they were held together.

"It's...not the first...time someone has touched me inappropriately..." she said nonchalantly as she brought her hand up to the scar on her collar bone.

The man noticed this action.

"The ape that gave you those scars...he he not only tortured you...he sexually abused you didn't he?..." he asked grimly.

She closed her eyes with a lone tear falling down Her check and nodded.

"In this world we live in now...it's more common and easier for men to victimize women and young girls or get them to do sexual favors in exchange for things...a man once even tried to take avantage of me...but I never thought a ape would or even want to touch a human female like that..."She said as her voice became shakey along with her hands.

"Did?...Did he rape you Iris?...he asked afaird of the answer.

She shook her head.

"No...he only got to touching and biting me...he was interrupted by Pope...Pope despised humans, he thought we should never coxiest with each other, that humans should be slaves and if he found out one of his followers was trying to rape one...Pope would have killed him on the spot..." She said hoarsely.

"Pope's follower...what was his name?"

"Onyx..." she relpelied weakly.

"And when did this happen?..." he asked.

"A couple months before I joined the colony with Malcolm and Alex...about 8 years ago..."she said as she wiped her face with her hand.

They sat in silence for a couple of seconds.

" Your ordeal was very traumatic and it could have been a been much worse...I could only say it was miracle that it didn't progress further..."he said breaking the silence.

"I just got lucky..not lucky enough to avoid getting these scars but lucky enough not to get raped...it's kind of ironic really...and while I wasn't raped then I was raped 5 years later..."

The man's eyes widen at this.


Muir Park 3 years ago

She screamed underwater until she couldn't scream anymore then bringing herself back up for air. She ran her hands through her hair then slowly brought them down her face feeling her tears mixing with the water.

She then swam over to a rock that was in the water and sat on it. She started to look at her body to examine the proof of how much she had been brutalized over the years. She had the bite marks on her upper body, a huge burn mark on her left arm, whip marks, a slash mark on her neck that was covered by her hair, lacerations on different parts of her body, scars on her hands, and the star shaped scar on her right arm she got long before she got all the other scars, before she ended up alone.

Deciding she had been in the water long enough she swam back to the shore where Bruce was resting, he was swimming with her before but he eventually got tried and went back to shore. She got to the shore and went over to a big rock that was between the water and the shore to climb on top of it, She laid herself on top made herself comfortable on it as the sun dried her. She so comfortable that she slowly started to dift off to sleep and oh boy did she need it, Iris had really bad insomnia and was miracle if she got any sleep at all.

Nightmare

Iris laid down in the corner of the cage shivering from the cold and from the pain that was inflicted on her resently, She tried her best to stay warm but the only things that were keeping her remotely warm were her torn up sweat jacket and moss that grew inside of the cage and they were obviously not working not well, nights had always been very cold in San Francisco.

Her attention was then brought to the sound of someone opening the cage she looked to see who it was and was surprised to see it was Onyx holding a flashlight. She was surprised to see him since she knew apes couldn't see in the dark and that's why they didn't like to go out at night. Onyx fur was just like as his name a dark black and his eyes were green with golden specks that made them glow somewhat, he smiled at her but it just creeped her out, he basically looked like a serial killer and he stared at her like she was his victim.

"Why are you here Oynx?...Did Pope send you?" she asked as she sat up.

He walked over and sat down close to her, way too close.

"He doesn't know your here?...does he?" She realized horrifically.

"No...he doesn't" he replied raspy.

He kept staring at her and she didn't like it one bit.

"I always found you humans fascinating, you fear what's different and you try use and dominate those beneath you" he signed.

She was not sure where he was going with this.

"We're not all like that...there's good humans and there's bad humans though you and Pope have shown your no better then the humans that abused you and the proof is on my body" she said as pulled up her jackets sleeve and then her shirt to show him the lacerations on her arm and stomach, but she then quickly pulled them both back down when he started looking at them in a way that disgusted her.

" I find...you interesting...even when...Pope and I...hurt you...you never...beg...you never...scream...you...fight us...we can't break...you" he spoke raspy to her while running his hand through her hair, she just stared at him.

"You know I'm... not from here...I'm from.
...place that...humans call...Malaysia...and before...that the jungle..." he said as his hand then started to run down her neck.

Iris started to become uncomfortable.

"Bad humans...kill and eat...my mother...infornt of...me...and then...bad humans..gave me...to other...bad humans...at place...called brothel...in Malaysia...humans did...horrible things...to me...there..."he said with his hand now stoking her neck and collar bone.

Iris just stared at him horrified at his story, not noticing his inappropriate touching for the moment.

"Brothel eventually...got tried...of me...and gave...me to human...here...human hurt...me too...so sent...to shelter...but then...was freed" he said smiling at the last part.

"I'm so sorry for everything that has been done to you..."she said sympathetically, even though he hurt her she really did mean it.

He smirked darkly at her as he brought his other hand to rest on her lower thigh.

"You...say sorry...even though...I hurt...you..."

"I mean it...it wasn't right what they did to you..." she said softly, now noticing his hand running up close to her hip.

She wanted to ask him about someone she had been worried about the whole time she had been held here but was afaird what his response would be or if he would tell her at all.

"Is Moon alright?..."

Her question made him stop what he was doing to look her straight in the eyes.

"When I...saw him...he was...still breathing...but don't...know what...Pope will do..." he smiled sadistically

She closed her eyes in anguish with tears, knowing Moon was only in pain because he took the rest of her punishment.

"But...you should..be worried...about what...why I...here...and what...I want...from you..." he said as he put his hand on her tear stained check and slowly tracing his fingers down to her lips.

Her eyes widen at this.

"What could you possibly want from me?..."she asked quietly, afaird of his answer.

He smiled sadistically as he brought the hand that was touching her lips to her neck and gripped it tightly, she tried to tare his hand away with little affect,he then brought his face closer to hers.

"I want...to break...you.." he told her softly before slamming her on the ground, ripped her shirt, and sinked his jaws into where her collar bone was. Iris scream in pain and horror while desperately trying to fight off him but it proved invain as he began tare at the rest of her clothing, she continued to struggle as he aggressively touched, groped, and bit her, one his hands even trying to find her entrance.

End of Nightmare

Iris bolted awake while screaming, she quickly took in her surrondings to see it was just a dream and she was at the river. She ran her hand through hair while taking deep breaths to calm herself down, these nightmares were the reason she barely slept. Bruce lifted his head at sound, he whined in concern.

She jumped off the rock and went over to the tree that her pants and jacket were hanging from with her boots by it, she didn't have her shirt anymore because it got destroyed earlier that day and she swam in her underwear so didn't have to worry about that ethier.

"Bruce we're going home" she told him as she started to put her pants on, Bruce got up and stretched then waited for Iris to get done. She didn't get a chance to zip up her jacket when she noticed someone was watching her, making her stop what she was doing all together.
