She was mine now. She bares my mark on her neck from our first time together, and I have hers. Well I have more marks on me than she does but nothing too painful. Now that she is mine, I do want to talk to her about what she did. I'm not sure if she's ready to talk but we need to.

We're lying in my bed, we haven't gotten up, and we've just been lounging, listening to the dying storm. She's curled up to my side, it seems like her spot now. I gently lift her chin and look her in the eye. She's tired, and content. Her eyes are clear now, and she has sorrow in her eyes.

"Whats the matter?" I ask her, she sighs and buries her face into my chest.

"I hurt you and I'm sorry. I was…lost…I took it out on you and I have been trying to get past my issues. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I've known since I was young that she was abused. She has never explained to me, or to anyone what it is. RJ, Dom and I had decided back when we were kids we would not approach her about it. We would comfort her but we would never ask why she was afraid. We didn't want to make it worse on her.

"Do you want to talk?" I think it was time for her to talk but I wouldn't force her if she didn't want to. I wanted to help her, after the love she's shown me, I need to be able to do something for her. She let out a slow, shuddering sigh that shook her whole body. "You can trust me Kiran, you know that." If anything I'm honest and because I am alone I have no one to tell.

"First off, my name is Persephone Jones. Kiran is my middle name. I don't like using my first name, I don't because it makes me remember and all I want to do is forget. But lately, I just can't stop. That's why I hurt you. I wasn't seeing you, I was seeing all those who came before that hurt me and all I wanted to do was lash out." She stops and gently touches my chest where she had left scratch marks.

"I would never hurt you." I tell her softly.

"I know, that's why I'm so sorry." She kisses me and then continues to tell me a little bit more. "I've been abuse since I was born. It's all I've known, until I came to Pai Zhuq, that's what it took me so long to adjust. You and Dom and RJ have been Godsends, so have Master Swoop and Master Phant. The tenderness and kindness you've guys have shown me, I haven't had kindness before." My throat tightened and I held her closer, tighter. No one had considered me a Godsend before. I didn't think I was special enough for it. I could never love her more than when she leaned up and kissed me. "My Godsend," she cooed to me softly, stroking my face. I feel my cheeks heat and she smiles.

"I'm honored." I tell her and she grins cheekily up at me.

"You should be." She laughs softly. "But yeah, I have issues…" she said, her voice was still playful; she's trying to mask her pain. "But just…thank you…for being patient with me and I'm sorry for hurting you."

"I understand, it's fine," I just hold her tight. She's my girl now and if all I need to do it to hold her to make her comfortable and to calm down, that's what I'll do.

"Love you Muffin," she says into my skin and sighs happily.

"Love you too, my Girl."

"Damn straight." I laugh and cuddle her closer.
