Analiesa felt two strong hands pulling her against his chest. His arms wrapped around her back drawing her closer to him. She buried her face in his neck as she cried and held onto him tightly. His hand was gently caressing her back in comfort and he murmured softly. "Shh…shh…I'm here…it's alright…it's alright…." He could feel the hot tears falling down on his neck but he didn't care. She trembled underneath him as she cried. She cried for over an hour, he just held her and caressed her back and murmured soothingly to her. She eventually calmed down as she gave a shuddering gasp. Her body went limp in his arms from exhaustion. He looked down at her in concern but relaxed slightly as she was just weary from fatigue. He picked her up bridal style and carried her out of the forest. She buried her face in his neck as she was too scared to look at anything. He carried her to the Hunters Association. He considered taking her to the hospital but she was too fragile and he was sure she'd panic and become scared.
A male hunter came out "Toga? Is that Analiesa?"
Analiesa squeezed her legs together and whimpered at the sound of male voice.
Toga tightened his hold on Analiesa. "Get me a blanket, a strong cup of tea" he said gruffly as he walked past. The hunter did what he was told.
Toga walked in his office and laid her on his couch, he crouched down in front of her. He moved some of hair from her forehead. She looked at him with sad but trusting eyes. "you're safe…it's alright…"
The hunter came in with a blanket and a strong cup of tea. Toga took the blanket and wrapped it around Analiesa. "What happened?" the hunter asked. Toga took the cup of tea and handed it to Analiesa and spoke softly to her "drink this Analiesa. It'll calm you down and get rid of the numbness" Analiesa took the cup and wrapped her fingers around its warmth.
The hunter smiled a little as he watched Toga's soft side come out. Something he'd never seen before.
Toga straightened up and looked at the other hunter. "She was raped. The Level E got to her before I could. Luckily I finished him off before he could get another girl"
Analiesa quietly set the cup down and curled up on the couch closing her eyes as she fell into a peaceful sleep. She knew she was safe with Toga, she always felt that way.
The two hunters looked down at a once hardworking hunter to now a fragile and sad hunter.
Toga looked down at her and even though his words could sound harsh he said it in a passionate way "stupid girl"
