Trixie glanced at herself in the mirror in the bathroom, her cheek was going to bruise, very badly, and her nose was already starting to look bad. As she sighed and pulled her jeans down she frowned again, sliding down the wall of the bathroom, before she put her hand over the hand print on her thigh. She started to cry, careful not to let them stain her shirt so Dan wouldn't know, but as she lost track of the time around her the door to the bathroom flew open and she flinched, holding her hands up and starting to shiver as she spoke quickly.

"Im sorry sir! Ill be right out, I didn't mean…"

"Hey, hey, hey no…its alright, calm down now." Trixie tensed up as she heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice and looked up to see Murphy standing in the doorway. She glanced over his back before he shut the door and locked it. "Helps if ya lock the door lass." He grinned a bit before she scooted back to the wall some, trying to make sure she was no where near him as he bent down to look at her.

"Im sorry, I just…what are you doing in the ladies bathroom?" Murphy chuckled before pointing to the wall, making Trixie glance over and seeing a urinal in there. She sighed and let her head hit the wall before closing her eyes, she had done it again, she was so used not to looking where she was going to get away from Dan she wound up in the wrong place.

"Seems to me ye the one whos in the wrong bathroom lass." She smiled a bit as she glanced to him, not even registering that she still had her jeans down and her bruise exposed before Murphy went to reach out to her, making her eyes widen. "Don't, im not gonna hurt ya." He lightly gripped her hand, slowly bringing it away from her thigh and frowning when he saw the bruise, in the perfect shape of a hand on her skin.

"Please…if he finds me in here and youre in here im dead." Murphy shook his head and grinned to her before he nodded tot the door.

"Locked remember, no one be barging in on us lass. Now, tell me. Why are you really with him?" Murphy sat on the floor, back against the door, as Trixie glanced up and down his form, wondering what he was doing.

"Why do you care?" She suddenly flinched before covering her face as he scooted up a bit and chuckled.

"Im not gonna hurt ya lass, I done told ya that. Im just curious." Trixie frowned before scooting up a bit on the wall herself before glancing down to her feet and shrugging.

"Not sure what you mean. I with him because I love him." She flinched at the lie coming off her tongue but it was better then the truth.

"Ya know, lying is a sin." She glanced up to Murphy as he smirked to her, making her smile back lightly.

"So is drinking but you still do it." Murphy shrugged before he leaned in, resting his arms around his knees and looking right at her.

"Don't tell anyone, but I go to mass every day lass. I repent, I bet he hasn't 'eh?" Trixie glanced to the door, then shivered before shaking her head and frowning.

"He never does anything right."

"I thought so. Don't worry about him finding us. My brother Conner, hes a good distracter when it comes to safety."

"Safety? Yours?" Murphy chuckled again before standing, slowly, and offering his hand out to her. She glanced from him to his hand and back again before she slowly put her hand in his and he pulled her up. Gripping her jeans with her free hand she made sure they didnt fall any further as Murphy looked skyward, giving her a moment to decent up. Smiling, she had never had that niceness done to her before, she fixed her jeans then covered her midriff with her arms before she shivered. He chuckled again as he took his jacket of, holding it out to her, but she didn't move. She had defiantly never had that happen before, and when he stepped up to her she flinched and took an instinctive step back.

"Please?" Murphy waited for her to stop glancing everywhere but at him, and when she did look to him finally her eyes were the brightest blue, pleading for him to not hurt her. What had the bastard done to this child?

"He wont like it, I'll be sore for weeks."

"He will never know. Come here." She took a moment, a few moments actually, so long Murphy thought that she wasn't going to move at all, before she took one step towards him. It was the smallest step, but he knew in her world it was the biggest she had ever took. Tossing his jacket around her shoulders he stepped back and watched as she eyed the thing as if it was going to bite her before slowly putting her arms through the sleeves and tightening it to herself.

"Thank you." Murphy nodded before leaning against the door and looking her over. Sure she had given them a look out there in the bar but that was degrading, she didn't deserve that, but now, now that she was a bit more comfortable, he stole a glance at her and he was surprised that she was even with this creep. She had the hour glass figure, tight thighs and arms, she worked out, and her face, it was just beauty upon itself. Her long dark brown almost black hair reached the middle of her back and when he glanced to her hips he almost moaned. She was hot that was a given but why was she with him?

"I don't love him." Murphy immediately glanced up to her face, for fear he was caught to tell the truth but she was still looking at the floor. "I had just lost my job, no where to go, no where to live, no food. He found me, visiting a friend of mine at her dinner, when he asked me about myself. I broke down, told him my story and he felt bad he said, offered me a couch to sleep on, his girlfriend wouldn't mind. What I didn't know was the girlfriend he had was just the whore before me. Once he made me trust him, he decided to make her leave, give her to the next guy actually, but to me it looked like she had left him and I was happy. When he invited me to his bed…I declined, and that was when it all started. Since…if I try to leave or if I mess up I will either be punished…you seen how…or he will feed me to the dogs. Id rather wind back up on the streets to be honest but he wouldn't allow it. No one ever leaves Danny when he gets his claws into you." Murphy frowned before he glanced her over, shaking and holding herself as she kept her glance down and away from his. He didn't know why, but he had to do something, anything, to help her. She was too young and too fragile to be near that demon of a man again and then…a thought hit him.

"What if you had anther place to go, a place that was safe and guarded and you got a job. Food and rent free as well?" Murphy watched as her face instantly brightened and she smiled, a real smile that took his breath away before she paused and shook her head.

"No. No I wont do it. I cant…I cant just go live with someone just because they feel sorry for me. I mean its wonderful that you offered but I don't know you im sorry." Murphy chuckled before tilting sideways a bit, shifting his weight to his right foot as he looked her over.

"And yet that asshole offers you the same and you go for it. Look Im not talking about being with me lass, mean I wouldn't mind ya staying with me, but I meant here. Doc has a spare room above the bar, ye could work here too and he needs the help. Ya could have it all, even being free of him, if ya want." Murphy waited, waited for the smile the brightness and the happiness he had just gotten a glimpse of to come back but it didn't for a while. She was chewing on her lower lip, sucking it into her mouth as she chewed on it, god did she look good, before glancing up to him and sighing.

"What about him? He will kill you if he knows you are trying to help me. Hell he will kill me. No one gets away from Danny and no one takes his women." Murphy frowned for a moment before standing straight and walking to her, he was going out on a branch here but he hoped she wouldnt deny the offer so he had to try something. Reaching out for her, she was already shaking from fear, he gripped her arm gently as he pulled her closer to him and made her look in the mirror. He stood behind her and grasped her hair in his hands as he looked over her shoulder.

"You don't deserve this treatment lass, you need to be treated like the queen that good women are. You don't want to look like this forever do ya? And when he finds another what then?" Trixie glanced up to the mirror and frowned, he was right, she didn't like the way she looked but she loved the way it looked with him right behind her smiling at her. She blushed and smiled as she turned to look at him before nodding. She was either stupid or desperate, maybe both, but she nodded and gripped his hands tightly as she held them in front of her and started to pray.

"Tiarna buíochas a ghabháil leat as a sheoladh an fear dom a shábháil dom, go raibh maith agat as mo freagairt paidreacha agus Tiarna féachaint thar dom mar iarracht mé arís a leagan féin saor in aisce. I Gods o'n ainm. (Irish - Lord thank you for sending this man to me to save me, thank you for answering my prayers and Lord watch over me as I try once again to set myself free. In Gods name amen.)" Trixie kissed her hands that were covering Murphy's before glancing up to him and seeing that he had took one hand and marked the cross over himself as she did too. Blushing she hid her face for a moment before he used his other hand to lift her gaze to his.

"You will be safe. Come on." Trixie nodded as Murphy opened the door and glanced to see that the bar had gotten a bit more crowded before he gripped her hand and pulled her to the stairs that were behind the bar, away form the table Dan sat at still with Conner.
