Chapter 5

The Penance of my Repercussion

I woke up to a TV blaring, and Brittney lying on top of me. Ashley was sitting on the love seat staring at the TV. I told her to turn it down, and I got no response. I took a good look at her and noticed a waterfall of blood on her. I looked at Brittney, and she was the same way, and staring me in the face. I tried to yell, but she covered my mouth with her hand. She raised her other hand in the air and jammed it through my stomach, and I woke up screaming bloody murder. I was sweating, breathing hard, and cold all at once. Everyone stared at me then Brittney asked "You okay?"

I replied faintly with a hard breath "Yeah, I'll live."

I got up, and walked to the kitchen sink, and splashed some water on my face. I dried my face off, and sat down on the couch. Her mom, and dad went to the computer room, and Ashley went to her bedroom. Brittney strutted to me, and straddled my lap. I leaned into the couch a little, and started sweating more than before. She ran her hand up my stomach, like a person running. She got to my head, and started massaging my ear. I started trembling and sweating more.

She asked lustfully "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." I replied shakily

She stared at me for a few seconds, and said "Somethins wrong I can tell."

I stared at her with a sad look, and finally said "I had a dream you, and Ashley got your throats slit, and you didn't die, I tried to scream, and you covered my mouth with your bloody hand, and gouged into my stomach with the other, that's why I woke up screamin."

"Aww, you know I wouldn't hurt you like that." She replied sadly

I looked at her with a sad look, my ears laid back, my spikes hanging down, trying to hold back tears. She hugged me then asked "Wanna go outside."

I replied quickly "Sure."

We walked outside hand in hand, and down the porch. Then we got surrounded by a bunch of police, and noose soldiers.

I looked around then asked angrily "Whadda you want?"

I got nervous. I looked around more fretfully then told Brittney to go inside. I heard one whisper in the walky talky to shoot and subdue. I started thinking, shoot, and subdue, wait a minute. One shot at me, but I moved out of the way, only to find myself in plain sight of all of them. One shot at me, and I moved out of the way. Then another one shot at me, and I moved out of the way of it, but got shot by something else. I got electrocuted, but didn't black out I was just paralyzed. They pulled out some cuffs, and bound me. They threw me in a car after straining themselves to pick me up, and hauled me to jail apparently. You know what happens to people in jail.

I was in there a few weeks I think, maybe three tops, although it felt like a year, till I broke out. I took refuge back at Brittney's house, while leaving no trace of escape. I stood in front of the door hesitating, but I finally knocked on it. Brittney answered the door, and greeted me with a backbone crushing hug. I yelped loud, while flinching. She let me go, and apologized. I was going to ask her if I could come in, but she yanked me in before I could. Ashley greeted me with a punch to the shoulder. I rubbed the spot she hit. Then their mom hugged me. Then her dad stepped behind me, and put his hand on my shoulder. I jumped, and started trembling. I muttered a few things under my breath, but I don't think anyone noticed.

He took his hand off, and said "Glad to have you back."

I gulped loud enough to be heard, but no one paid attention. Brittney dragged me to the couch, and threw me on it while jumping on my lap. I was about to scream from the pain, but held it back to keep from explaining. I t wasn't her fault, she wasn't heavy, I was just sore. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and laid her head on my shoulder. I winced a little from pain. She sat in my lap all day till everyone went to sleep. She was more tired than me, and asked if I would carry her to her room. I stuck my arm under her legs, and stood up holding back a scream, and tears. I started walking then I winced. Brittney didn't notice because she was almost asleep. I carried her to her room, and laid her on the bed then tucked her in. I limped back to the living room, and collapsed on the couch, falling asleep from weakness before I touched it.

"Stand up Austin unless you know what's good for ya." I stood up trembling. Then a heavy arm wrapped around my stomach. Then another slammed my head into the wall. I was about to fight back, but someone zapped me with a stun gun. I sank to my knees. Someone threw me against the table. I laid there motionless and grunting from the pain of the impact on my kidney from the edge of the table. I let out a heavy breath then heard somebody say "Get the line ready, and everybody warmed up we about to party." I started struggling trying to run before they started, but it was useless. I felt a hand squeeze my tail hard then yank it up. Then everything went white.

I woke up on the floor, sitting, crying, screaming, sweating, cold, and sore everywhere. Brittney got down on her knees beside me, and started petting me. Then she wrapped her arms around me and said "Shshh its okay it was just a dream."

I wrapped my arms around her, and buried my head in her shoulder, and started crying uncontrollably. Brittney petted me while saying "Its okay, let it all out."

I trembled in her arms crying my eyes out. She didn't seem to care that I was getting her shirt wet. I calmed down a few minutes. I sat down on the couch, and she sat beside me still hugging me.

She asked calmly, "Now what's wrong?"

I muttered back choking on tears, "You wouldn't (sniff) Understand."

She replied calmly, "Yes I will, and you'll feel better if you tell someone about it."

I replied quivering, "Okay, but this'll be hard." I inhaled then started. "When they put me in jail, someone started a fight with me, and the guards shot me with a stun gun then threw me in the cell without locking it. Well a few minutes afterwards two convicts came by my cell, and saw I couldn't move, they walked over to me, and started whispering to each other, and then (I swallowed, then inhaled) they started beating me like a redheaded stepchild. Then they got the idea that I could be a sex toy." I started crying more. "They got everybody to start raping me." "I tried to hide, but the fricken guards sold me out, and gave them a tazer so I wouldn't fight back." "They beat on me, and raped me every day, until yesterday I escaped." Brittney petted me some more. "I have bruises everywhere." "I can't sit straight without hurting." "And I can barely walk, without hurting." "I'm starving to death." "And hurting inside." Brittney hugged me a little tighter, but not too tight because I was sore everywhere.

She asked "Why didn't you fight back?"

I replied crying "They tazed me, and it paralyzed me for a long time." "And while I was paralyzed I was being mad everybody's b***h."

I cried my eyes out for what seemed like hours, but was probably fifteen minutes. Brittney hugged me, and started trying to calm me down. I calmed down after a few minutes then wiped away my tears. Brittney said "We'll take you to the doctor in the morning, just get some sleep till then okay."

I replied sadly "Okay." Then laid down on the couch curled up in a ball. Brittney stuck her hand on my side, and I jumped. I noticed it was just Brittney, so I laid my head back down, and fell asleep.

"Austiiiinn." "You're not done being my b***h."

"I'm not your b***h anymore you sick f****t b*****d."

"I'm not done with you Austin."

"Go to Hell!"

I was in a struggle from being thrown on the floor. I lost the fight. I felt my pants get torn off then my underwear. Then I felt something enter me.

"!" "GET THE F**K AWAY FROM ME!"

"AUSTIN IT'S JUST ME!"

I felt something grab my arms, and pin me down so I started kicking. Something held my feet down then I awoke to an ice cold splash of water on my head. I stopped struggling then wiped my eyes so I could see. Brittney, Ashley, and Richard were standing by the couch, and Wendy was standing behind me holding an empty pail. I looked at the couch, and it was ripped to shreds.

"I'm so sorry." I said sadly

"It's okay, it was an accident." Brittney said tiredly. "You ready to go to the doctor?"

"I guess." I said still looking down at the couch.

I slipped on my shoes, and stood at the door waiting on Brittney and Wendy to take me to the hospital. We walked outside, and down the steps then I was hit by something hard. I slammed against the wall with a loud thud then I blacked out.

I woke up in a hospital bed with Brittney sitting beside me with the same look on her face the day I was infected. She was almost in tears and I noticed a cut on her arm.

I managed to mutter "Wheredya get that cut on your arm?"

She heard me then wrapped her arms around my neck really tight. I yelped a tiny noise, and she let go.

"Sorry." She said with a sad tone.

"It's okay." I replied breathlessly.

A few nurses came in a couple minutes later, and said "We need to take a few tests. One of the nurses shooed Brittney off, but I said "She stays." She sat back down in a chair out of the way, and watched the nurses feel around my back, stomach, neck and chest. I felt uncomfortable with them touching me everywhere. Then one made a big mistake by reaching down there around my butt to feel for bruises or whatever, and I went ballistic. I pushed her down, and tried to get up, but they held me down as tight as they could. I tried to wriggle free, but they had a good grip. I started whimpering.

Brittney stood up, and said "Let him go he didn't mean it."

They let go. I curled up, and put the pillow over me, sobbing a little. I fell asleep shortly after.

I woke up to Brittney laying in the bed beside me, staring at me.

I asked "Is the nurse okay?"

She replied "Yeah she's fine."

"I…I didn't mean to do that. I just thought it was happening again…and."

"Shhshhsh, its okay I know you didn't mean it and that caught you by surprise." "After you fell asleep they finished the tests. They'll give us the results in the morning."

I scooted closer to Brittney, and she wrapped her arm around me. I scrunched up a little bit, and Brittney scooted closer to me, and hugged me tighter. I fell asleep in her grasp, feeling safe.

"Austin, I'm not done with you." I felt an arm around my waist. "Are you hungry, Austin?"

"No."

"Well dinner's served anyway!"

I was forced down. I tried to stand back up, but I couldn't. I felt two hands pry open my mouth.

"NOOO!" "NOT AGAIN."

I sat there crying, and whimpering. Brittney leaned up, and hugged me. I buried my head in her shoulder, and started crying more. We laid back down, my head still buried in her shoulder. I cried while she petted me on the back. I laid there crying for a few minutes till I fell asleep.

I woke up to the sun shining and Brittney holding me. My head was buried in her chest, and her head was resting on mine. I scooted closer to her, and went back to sleep. Then Brittney woke me up to see the test results.

The doctor stood there for a minute reading the chart then he said "Austin, you didn't get and STD but going to number 2 will be a little hard. You've received major bruises on the back, legs, arms, pelvis, stomach, rectum, neck, and groin. Eating is going to be a little difficult too along with sitting and urinating. I suggest you get lots of rest, and only eat mushy food, not chewy food maybe some baby food or soup. I will prescribe you some pain medicine so you can relax, and use the bathroom easier. Okay."

I replied faintly "Okay."

Brittney looked at me with the saddest look I've ever seen. I looked away from her to keep from crying. She wrapped her arms around me, and laid her chin on my shoulder. I laid my head on her head. I said with a sad voice "You're the only thing left in my life that's worth living for." She didn't comment on it, but I heard her sniff. I started singing to her to maybe cheer us both up,

"I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy."

She joined in, "I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need."

We both sung in unison, "I'll love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do."

"We will be strong we will be faithful cuz we're counting on a new beginning, a reason for living, a deeper meaning, yeah.

"I wanna stand with you on a mountain, I wanna bathe with you in the sea, I wanna lay like this forever, until the sky falls down on me."

She stopped, but I continued, "And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky, I'll make a wish send it to heaven then make you wanna cry, the tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty that we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of the highest power in lonely hours the tears devour you."

"I wanna stand with you on a mountain, I wanna bathe with you in the sea, I wanna lay like this forever, until the sky falls down on me."

I stopped singing, and kissed her on the head. The doctor came back in with the prescription, and my clothes I had on when I came in. I stood up with my hand on the rail. The doctor left while muttering something under his breath. I pulled off the gown thingy, and slipped on my clothes. I turned around, and saw Brittney staring at me with her jaw on the floor, and eyes touching the ceiling.

I asked "Whatsa matter?"

"You just stripped, and dressed in front of me." She stammered back

"Yeah, so what?" I replied

"I figured you'd go in the bathroom, and do it." She said sounding surprised.

"I've been raped, so I think I can handle stripping in front of my girlfriend." I replied with a smart allic tone.

She shrugged, and walked out the door with me. We made it to the lobby, and I checked myself out at the desk. Brittney waited for me at the door, while calling her mom to come get us. I limped outside, up to Brittney, and hugged her from behind. She leaned in on me, and put her arms on mine. I leaned over, and kissed her neck then I whispered in her ear "I love you."

She whispered back "I love you too."

A few minutes later her mom showed up, and picked us up. We both got in the backseat.

Wendy asked "You feelin' better Austin?"

I replied "I've seen better days."

I put my hand on Brittney's hand, and stared at her with a lustful look. I fell asleep a few minutes later. Brittney woke me up when we got to her house. I got out of the car, and limped to the house. I headed for the couch, but Brittney insisted I rest in her bed. I limped back there with her support. I gently laid down on the bed, and napped on my side. I woke up around seven p.m. I limped into the living room, and sat down beside Brittney.

I asked tiredly "What's for supper?"

She said "For us…pizza, for you…mmmbaby feeoood."

"Yaaay (cough) (cough)." I tried to say sarcastically, but ended up coughing.

I watched TV until she brought me my food. It took me a long time to eat it, because my throat was sore. I took my medicine, and I was out like a light minutes later. Maybe it was around eleven. Brittney woke me up, and asked if I wanted to sleep in the bed with her. I shook my head yes, and yawned. I limped back there with Brittney, and plopped down on the bed, I pulled off my shirt, and socks then slid under the covers. Brittney joined a few minutes later. She wrapped her arm around me, I jumped, but calmed down after I figured out it was Brittney. I scooted closer to her, and we snuggled up. I fell asleep seconds later. I slept peacefully no nightmare. I woke up around seven from a bad habit that I really need to kick. I limped in the living room, and laid on the couch. A few minutes Brittney walked in with a skirt and t Shirt. I stretched, and fell on the floor with a grunt. She stopped right in front of me. I looked up to see her face, but saw something else instead. I shot up with a red face. She looked at me, and instantly knew why my face was red. She got mad, and started growling. I backed up against the wall trembling tail between my legs. I stared at Brittney, with a scared look.

I stammered out "Brittney it was an accident…come on."

She walked toward me hands balled up into fists. I crouched down on the ground. She picked me up by my shoulders. I whimpered from the pain. She held me against the wall, yelling "You looked up my skirt you pervert!"

"Brittney, it was an accident." I started to tremble even harder. I stared at her with fear in my eyes. She set me down, and hugged me. Knowing I was scared more than she wanted to scare me. She hugged me hard. I let out a yelp, and she loosened her grip.

I remembered the cut on her arm, and asked "Hey how'd you get that cut on your arm?"

"Let's just say the military wont' bother us anymore, and neither will the police, and your rapists are getting a taste of their own medicine right now." She said with enthusiasm.

I stared at her and said "I don't wanna know."

We stared at each other for a little bit. Then we both leaned in and kissed. It lasted for a few seconds. We both broke it, and leaned in for another. We both told each other I love you then we kissed again.
