Jon didn't know what was going on so he pulled her back into the garden. As soon as they were back on the palace grounds, she could breathe normally again. She started sobbing again. Jon just held onto her.

"I completely forgot about that stupid thing Malcolm put on me! We can't go. He put it on today. It's magical, we can't get it off."

"Let me see. I can get that off. There you go...Ah!" Jon's magic had popped off the collar but he now saw the state of her neck underneath the collar. The collar was actually quite large, but what scared Jon was that there were spikes on the inside where it touched her neck. Her skin was completely punctured, bloody, and irritated. Jon gently touched her neck. When Sky saw what he was looking at, she looked away, shame-faced. Jon pulled her face back to him, making her eyes meet his.

"Whoever did this to you is going to get it bad! Who did this?" Jon demanded.

"I can't tell you on the palace grounds, they'll hear! Then they'll really hurt me! Like...like before..."

A single tear rolled down her cheek. Jon shushed her explaining by putting his lips on hers. His arms went tighter around her. Sky felt the passion she had never felt from a man's kiss before, not that the man that had kissed her had any passion for her. Suddenly, boosted by the love she felt in the kiss, she wrapped her arms around his neck, hand playing with his coal black hair. His tongue nudged her lower lip, demanding entrance. She didn't know what he wanted but when gasped as his hand strayed to her butt, her mouth opened. His tongue went into her mouth, and explored the caverns there.

"She's a good kisser!" thought Jon, who, by the way, had plenty of experience. Jon stood up and held her tight. He loved the way she molded into his shape. They pulled apart for air, resting their foreheads against each other, panting heavily.

"I...I love you..." whispered Jon.

"I think I love you too. I need a little more time though.." Sky replied.

"I understand. Let's go see George's mom, she's a better healer than I." He helped her over the wall, watching her for any reaction to leaving the palace grounds. He took her hand again after kissing her deeply.

"I...Tell me how you got those bruises. No! I won't let you not tell me. If you do not do it on your free will, I will royally order you to!"

"Okay. I...I am related to Delia..." Sky began her story.

"That's who you reminded me of! But only in some form of looks!" Jon interrupted.

""Well, we have different names, as you probably remember. When our father died, our mother remarried to a richer, bigger fief. I did not like the man. He had a son who...who...sexually abused me. I did not want to do things like that with him. He told Delia. Delia, who let our new step-father have his way with her if he gave her what she wanted, was mad at me. She told him, and got him to disown me partially. He still gave me money for dresses, but he wouldn't let me have the same last name and let Delia have complete control over me. Delia was high in his good books. The son, Malcolm, was a good mage. Delia did not like me. She made him beat me and sexually abuse me to show me who was in charge. I used to escape to the town. That's where I met George. He saw my state and got me healed. He told me about this girl he loved. Alanna. He's my best friend. And a good thing too. Otherwise I would not have survived. When it was time for me to be introduced, Malcolm put that necklace thing on me so that I couldn't run away. Well, that's it. Those bruises and cuts were from the beatings and the whippings." Sky looked away. He would not want her, she was not clean. Jon saw that, stopped walking, and took her chin gently in his fingers.

"Sh...I'm not going to leave you...You're going to stay with me all the time while you're here. I'll get them arrested for doing that to you."

Jon gently lowered his lips to hers and kissed, being free with his hands, roaming her body, caressing. She gasped and returned the favors. They were soon out of breath and started walking again. Jon grabbed her hand and pulled her to walk closer to him. She squeezed his hand as tight as possible, hoping he would never leave her.

"Jon..." And Sky fainted. Jon caught and picked her up in his arms. He then ran as fast as possible to Eleni's house. There, he banged on the door, as much as his full arms could.

"What? Oh! Jonny! How can I help...Ok! Bring her up to the room quickly. Then heat some water, get towels, call George, and get ready to tell me how this happened! Quick! Quick!"

George's mother ran upstairs, put her hand on Sky's neck and got to work healing her. Jon sat in the chair next to the healing cot with water for Eleni and towels for the blood that was still oozing out of her punctured neck.
