I should kill him part 4
The next morning came far too quickly. Kathryn's alarm was sounding and her commbadge chirping. She looked down at the still sleeping brunette and wrapped her arms more tightly around her.
"Computer silence and reset alarm," Kathryn called out as she tried to reach her commbadge without waking B'Elanna. Finally grabbing a hold of the small metallic communicator she tapped it.
"Janeway here."
"Captain sorry to wake you but I just received a report from several members of B'Elanna's gamma team about what happened last night," Chakotay's voice came over the comm. "What the hell went on last night?"
Kathryn could feel the pain in her head rising already she didn't like this.
"Chakotay I want you and Tuvok to meet me in sickbay. A lot has happened last night but I have to get B'Elanna to sickbay and examined first. I will let her explain when she is ready. Meet us there in one hour. Janeway out."
Kathryn placed a light kiss on top of B'Elanna's head. The young woman stirred and looked up into the older woman's eye. She sighed and tightened her grip around Kathryn's waist.
"I was kind of hoping last night was a bad dream. Hoping it was that way you weren't hurt and but hoping not so I would wake up in your arms."
Kathryn rubbed B'Elanna's back soothingly trying to keep her as calm as possible. She just let her talk through her thoughts.
"I know I have to go to sickbay and let the doc look at me but I am so afraid of letting him touch me. I mean I know he won't hurt me but I can't stop feeling so embarrassed and uncomfortable. And I know I have to talk to Tuvok but I don't want everyone on board knowing what he did to me. Kathryn I feel so confused and my body hurts my heart hurts."
She looked up at the red head pleading with her through solemn filled eyes for guidance and security. Kathryn lent forward placing a light kiss on B'Elanna's lips.
"I will be with you through this every step of the way B'Elanna I will go with you to sickbay and to talk to Tuvok. I will give you all the support you need. I am here for you ok? I always was I always will be."
"Thank you. I need you."
They laid in each other's arms a few moments longer when Kathryn insisted they get ready to go to sickbay. She gave B'Elanna a towel and cloth to clean herself up with. B'Elanna reluctantly walked into the large bathroom and set up her shower. She unzipped her jacket and pulled the tunic off she looked at the large bruises covering her shoulders and chest and could hold it.
Kathryn could hear her sobs from her bedroom. She walked to the bathroom and called out, "B'Elanna let me in honey."
The door swished open and Kathryn rushed in and looked for B'Elanna who was now sitting in the corner.
"Computer turn off sonic shower."
Kathryn called as she knelt down in front of B'Elanna who immediately moved into her arms again. Kathryn caught a glimpse of the angry bruises on the young woman's upper body and she felt the flam of anger rise in the pit of her stomach again. She felt the urge to hit something anything she didn't care what it was but she had to stay there and be there with B'Elanna she promised. She pulled B'Elanna to stand with her.
"Do you want me to stay in here with you," she asked judging B'Elanna's reaction to the idea. The brunette nodded without looking up. She backed out of Kathryn's arms and pulled her tank top out of her pants and over her head. Kathryn tuned around to face the corner of the bathroom to give B'Elanna some privacy. B'Elanna put her arms around Kathryn's waist and hugged her tight.
"I trust you Kathryn you don't have to turn away from me."
Kathryn hesitantly turned around.
"I was trying to give u some priva. . ."
The word died on her lips when she saw B'Elanna covered in bruises and red bite marks. She found herself wish she could take the marks upon herself to free B'Elanna from the pain she knows they must be causing her. B'Elanna could see the hurt and anger in Kathryn's eyes and she couldn't help but back away a little. Kathryn looked down at the floor and then back at the young woman.
"B'Elanna I. . ." Kathryn didn't know what to say she was so lost in her thoughts.
"I know."
B'Elanna finished undressing and the marks on her legs and around her hips and bikini line made Kathryn sick to her stomach. She couldn't stop the tears from streaming down her face. She blamed herself and she wanted to kill Thomas Eugene Paris.
