Song: Goddess by Written By Wolves

Ch 8: Taken

"Ugh…." Dove rolled awake the next morning, her body aching all over from all the attention and emotional distress.

She glanced down and rolled her eyes, brushing long pink hair away to see Loki's face. The girl had spent the entire evening and night covering Dove in every form of pleasure they enjoyed while giving expert care anytime Dove's emotions were overwhelmed and she broke down. The girl groaned and stretched, reaching for Dove and yanking her back down into her arms, humming sweetly and tiredly into Dove's skin as she curled around her, "Five more minutes Babe."

"You idiot… we have to bring our weapons to the lockers this morning and I'm still covered in cuts and bruises because someone got carried away all night," Dove poked Loki's cheek a bit hard as she teased her.

Loki chuckled, opening one eye, "Don't act like you didn't fucking love it."

"Well that's just not the point here is it?" Dove teased more, turning to Loki and messing with her long hair, "Thank you for being here… I was so scared I'd come back and you would be gone…"

Loki hummed softly and gently grabbed her hand, kissing across her fingers, "No way and not see you again? Fuck that!"

When Dove got quiet, Loki's eyes opened and watched her curiously before she brought her hand close, watching her face, "Did she do that to you Babe? Is that why you were scared?"

Dove just closed her eyes for a long moment, the lids quivering as they were closed tightly and Dove's face made a desperate and tense expression before she felt lips on her forehead and she relaxed, "I don't want to talk about that ok?"

Loki nodded, "Ok Babe. No problem."

Dove grabbed Loki's chin and pulled her in close, kissing her deeply as her aura crackled over her body, Loki shivering at that electric ocean water taste and feel, "Unnnn I fucking love that."

Rolled eyes flashed her way as her face was gently shoved away and Dove got out of the bed, slapping her side a few times, "Come on. Get up, we have things to do, oh fearless leader."

Dove chuckled at Loki's groan as she grabbed clothing, getting them on her naked body. Her eyes watched Loki get up from bed bare and bit her own lip a bit. Loki was definitely a gorgeous specimen that fit Dove's tastes perfectly that was for sure and for once she didn't resist watching the full view. Of course she did regret it when Loki caught her watching and it went to the girl's head, showing off and making Dove frown, "Way to ruin it you asshole!"

Loki just smiled, getting the rest of her clothing on. The two knocked but it seemed like their teammates were either not back yet or not currently there so they left without them to check their weapons in for the year. When they finished they made their way to get food, Loki taking Dove's hand and happy the girl let her.

The great morning was easily ruined though by stares, whispers and distasteful expressions and Loki felt Dove pull her hand away, Loki turning her head to see Dove recoiling in on herself, hand rubbing her neck. Loki was so sick of how everyone always made Dove feel. She growled a bit and glanced around but before she could cause trouble, Dove tugged her arm, "Loki enough. Can we just go?"

Staring at that sad, miserable eye, Loki nodded, "yea… fine…"

The rest of the walk was unbearable for the leader, Dove refusing to stand nearby or let her reach out to herHere they were back where the confusion started but this time their friends had graduated and gone so there were no faunus to help keep a lot of this at bay. It almost seemed worse now in fact. As they were trying to eat, a group came by, a few faunus boys, their leader sitting sideways facing Dove with a lustful smirk as he scooted close to her, reaching and taking one of her pieces of cut apple from her tray and sticking his tongue out close to her face, sliding the slice slowly into his mouth and his buddies chuckled.

Dove gave him a disgusted look and tried to shift away from him but he reached and grabbed her waist, forcing her against him, "Hey hey… no need to be shy."

Loki growled but they ignored her as Dove shoved against him, "The fuck let go you dick!"

He chuckled, "Oh you want to see that huh? Well, let's go somewhere alone for that hottie."

His buddies laughed and Dove bared her teeth and ripped from him as Loki grabbed her own tray and slammed it into the side of one of his buddies' heads, "Let her fucking go you creeps!"

He guy turned to Loki with a smirk, gripping Dove by the chin and yanking her close to him, "Don't worry I'll bring her right back to you yea? I mean if she's just out here giving herself to people while she's mated she doesn't belong to you right? You aren't a faunus."

Dove was making a very uncomfortable face, squirming in the faunus's unusually strong grip as his long lizard tongue stuck out and ran along her face making her grunt grossly. Loki took the tray and made a sudden flash movement, making the faunus choke as it was jammed into his throat, "I said let her fucking go! She doesn't belong to anyone! She's a damn person!"

When he reached for his neck, coughing and choking, Dove slipped away and stood with Loki, that icy chill on her elbow and fiery rise in energy in her body told Loki Dove had just hit her with a powerful amplifying glyph. With a dark gaze the girl leapt over the table and grabbed the guy by his shirt, turning him on a dime and shoving him so hard into the table his jaw made a loud crack and he started to scream and howl, reaching out with another hand to catch his friend by the wrist as he was coming after her, twisting it until it snapped loudly and pressing him into the floor, shoving her boot into his head.

Dove leaned onto the table at the guy squirming and shouting in pain and balled her fist, eyes blazing as she punched him so hard his world went black. People were staring and teachers were rushing over. Loki released the boys as their instructors were yelling at her to drop them. Dove tried to tell them what happened but the teacher handling the situation was an older faunus and he gave her a glare, eyes dropping to her neck then back before he frowned, "We can take it from here you delinquent."

Dove had never felt the feeling that gave her before. She stared at him surprised as they walked Loki off, a few other teachers helping the boys off to the infirmary. Dove was so confused. They had tried to assault her. Loki was just protecting her. Why was it their fault and not the boys'? She rubbed her arms, feeling so mistreated and gross all over. But the day wasn't done getting awful as Hel and her friends who had been watching came over to bother her, "What a monster. And you like her?! Freak that boy just wanted to show you a good time. What, are you only ok with sleeping around on your mate if it's other humans then? What does that make it ok or something?"

Dove frowned deeply, trying to ignore her but Hel wouldn't have that. She and her friends cackled after Dove as she was trying to walk away, circling her, "I don't understand. Don't you like being abused? I mean you are sleeping with that freak right? People have seen you with her you know! Word travels and everyone knows you are some slut too."

Dove grit her teeth, trembling all over with rage. What should have been a great day had dissolved into something so shitty that she couldn't take it anymore. In moments, a new reputation to add to everything else as she grabbed Hel by the collar of her shirt and slammed her into a nearby wall and continuously punched her in the face with her rage, "Shut the fuck up you absolute bitch!"

Dove didn't care anymore about her mantra. She didn't care anymore about pretending to be sweet like at Signal. She was done with everyone. A teacher had failed her, the boys thought she was a piece of meat, and these girls were driving her patience to its limit. She couldn't take it anymore. She was angry. The other girls started to try to get Dove off Hel as they shouted for help from staff, the same faunus teacher patrolling the cafeteria came running, growling, as he ripped Dove kicking and screaming off Hel, "That's it! you are coming with me!"

That was fine with Dove once she calmed enough. She was over all of this bullshit happening to her all the time. When she was shoved into a seat in an office, arms folded and slouching in her chair, a familiar chuckled drew her attention and her red eye glanced at the pink orbs watching her beside her, "Now what could the most behaved Dove Branwen have possibly done to end up here with lil ol me?"

Dove huffed but eventually gave a glance at Loki again with the faintest of smiles, holding up her bloody knuckles from her sloppy fighting, "Hel showed up and ran her mouth so I silenced it."

Not caring where they were, Loki laughed and reached, leaning in and pulling Dove into a sweet kiss that the girl just let happen this once, not caring anymore about the world around them that wasn't fair until the boys who had just finished giving their testimony were walking past cat calling and howling at them. A boot outstretched by the pink haired girl tripped the lead of them, causing him to face plant into the floor and end their tasteless noise as the girls parted, Dove smirking, "Aw, look Loki, he's giving the floor a kiss. Must have finally found someone willing to kiss that nasty face."

Loki's laughing trailed out the office after the miffed boys but was interrupted when the headmaster looked at them, gesturing Loki into his office before looking at Dove, "Ms. Branwen you might as well join us since you were there."

Dove rolled her eyes and followed. When the door closed, he took his seat and stared at them, "Want to tell me why you two collectively sent a total of four students to the infirmary and it's not even past breakfast and school doesn't even start until tomorrow?"

Dove sighed. She just wanted to go to her dorm and forget today. She greatly regretted not giving Loki those five extra minutes this morning. Loki however, grit her teeth, "Those guys were trying to touch Dove. Fuck they were touching her and she had said no and they were still touching her and trying to force her to go with them so they could have their way with her and she didn't want to go so I stopped them!"

He rubbed his face at the foul language but grew concerned at the explanation, looking to Dove, who nodded, looking away, "Please don't tell my mother sir…"

He had sympathy for her. He did know Winter well but Dove seemed tired and strained and he couldn't really imagine how unpleasant that must have been, "I'm sorry dear. I will be sure they get straightened out but why was Loki treated like the issue if you were a victim and she was just protecting you?"

Dove flinched. She didn't like the way being called a victim felt. She was no weakling and she was not here to be seen as one, "Because your damn teacher refused to listen to us and treated me as poorly as those girls and all the other fucking students around here."

Loki just nodded, folding her arms. Their headmaster was a faunus as well. He had seen the mark before but he didn't judge anyone, a rather liberal thinking man himself. He locked eyes with Dove and made a quick gesture with his eyes over to Loki then to her neck and she shook her head. Clearing his throat, he looked at them both, "Well, that won't do. I'll have him removed immediately. While I can't do anything about the entire student body I can fix what I can. Loki you are dismissed, I need to get more information from Dove about the other fight. Seeing as you were already gone it doesn't need you present for that."

Loki wanted to protest but when she noticed Loki's exasperated expression she just nodded and went out the door, choosing to wait outside the office for her. When she was gone, the man turned to Dove, "I wish I could help you with the mark you have. Sadly a lot of faunus are still raised with strong opinions about them. But my door is always open to you Dove if you need it alright? Try to at least stay out of fights over it. I know it's hard and unfair but it will be easier to help if you aren't also making it worse."

Dove just nodded and left, Loki standing when she came out. The two walked back to their dorm and Loki tucked her close even when she tried to pull away, "Nah… just let it happen yea? Let them see you are clearly happy with me and they all need to stay the fuck away from you."

Dove's cheeks dusted pink and she sighed, nodding. They didn't speak on the way back, returning as Venere and Raiden were getting back into their room and saying hello before the two just gave up on the already awful day and slipping into their pajamas and back into bed, Dove laying there brushing Loki's hair from her face as she stared down at her, "I should've stayed in bed with you this morning."

Loki smiled, reaching up moving hair from Dove's blue eye to look at both eyes clearly and nodded, "Today didn't happen. Let's just lay here instead yea?"

Dove rolled her eyes with a grin and set the plush crow on Loki's chest, slowly cuddling into her. As they laid there trying to fit in the small bed she sat up and looked around, confusing Loki, who watched the girl get up out of bed, "What are ya doin Babe? Come back."

Dove slipped behind the side of her bed and started to shove it towards Loki's, "I cannot take how small these damn beds are anymore. If we push them together and then just turn the mattresses the other direction then we get a bigger bed without the beds pushing away."

The girl grinned and flew from her bed, helping Dove getting the beds set up into a shared bed, rotating the mattresses and redoing all the sheets before the two got back in, Loki laying back with her arms behind her head as Dove crawled in over here, staring down at her with a grin. The girl pulled Dove down towards her and they both laughed, snuggling into the space they had, "Mmmm very good idea Babe. Now I can hold you every night."

It made Dove blush to hear that was the part Loki cared more about then making any sexual jokes. She wasn't in the mood for them today anymore anyway. She tucked in close to her and nodded, "I think that would be great actually."

Their second year was rough but Dove still kept in contact with the band friends with Loki and after the album was dropped when the fall approached, Loki came rushing in after class while Dove was at her desk studying to drop her scroll on top of Dove's homework, "Hey Loki seriously i'm busy!"

"Shhh and look!" Loki said excitedly, pointing over Dove's shoulder at the screen as she rubbed her shoulder with her other hand and smiled. Dove leaned forward looking at the music on Loki's scroll and her head shot over her shoulder to look at the girl, "Shit really?! What are you waiting for hit play!"

Loki nodded and pushed the play button. The two girls enjoyed several songs together before something came on that only Dove recognized. Loki glanced at her and the two toned girl smiled, "She messaged me about a week ago. They needed one more."

Loki listened for a bit before grinning, "Babe… we should dance."

"Now? But I have schoolwork. Shit Loki you have school work. You can't even really dance to this," but all the same Dove's cheeks were flush.

Loki grabbed her hand and pulled her from her chair, tugging her tightly to her own chest, however Dove's surprise and lost balance caused them to fall over, Loki's back hitting the bed and catching Dove over her. Those two colored orbs staring down at her as the girl bit her lip, "Loki… no… we don't have time for this… oooh fuuuuuck…"

It was too late. Loki was already glaring with that look that Dove knew meant she was helpless to say no, nails digging into her thighs near her knees as Loki yanked her legs so she was straddled over the girl, hips placed just right. Loki pressed herself up into Dove, leaning to bite her shoulder hard while she was trying to protest, causing the trailed off moan to interrupt Dove's words.

The song was playing in the background not helping the situation of course with its sultry tones and deep rhythm as Dove pressed her core down into Loki in response to the pain, shivering all over, "Dammit Loki… you are not fair."

Loki released her shoulder and chuckled, licking along her skin and nipping her ear sharply, making Dove jolt, "Good thing ya don't love me for bein fair."

Dove bit her own lower lip, leaning in close as her hips dragged in slow, rough rolls against Loki's, watching those pink orbs as Loki cracked a bit, hands gripping Dove tighter, "Full of such confidence today aren't you Loki?"

Dove wasn't a top, never really had been, but that didn't mean she didn't know how and hadn't gotten a lot of practice with the many girls at Signal that chased her around with drooling mouths and desperate eyes. In fact, many who didn't get to know her often mistook her for the dominant force in a relationship simply because of her strong personality. Loki stared up at her as Dove reached a hand into her two toned hair, tucking the white behind an ear to stare back with both eyes.

Loki adored those unique eyes. Now that she had met both Dove's parents she knew where they came from. The hair too. She used to think it might be dyed but living with Dove and meeting her parents proved that wasn't true. As those hips teased and taunted her, she watched Dove's eyes, unable to resist the tug inside to be closer. Inches were turning into hair thin space as lips drifted close, pressing together.

A hand slid into that unique hair as eyes closed, pressing Dove closer into her as that exchange that shared so many feelings without words happened once again between them. Everything felt like it was moving in slow motion as Loki tried to breathe through her nose, not wanting to lose this feeling, tongue sliding past soft lips and against the other eagerly accepting muscle, dancing together in a daze within Dove's mouth. Dove was running out of air but didn't care. She didn't need it. Being choked often trained lungs to run on little and she knew she could last without it for a bit longer.

Her fingers of one hand ran through soft long pink hair against the scalp as the other traced the muscles down Loki's arm until it found the hand on her knee and pulled it into her own, locking her fingers together with Loki's rough callosed ones. Words she couldn't say, too afraid to say, exchanged so effortlessly she felt her chest heat up and tighten and her heart race. As her brain began to spin from a need for oxygen, Dove whined into Loki's mouth, unwillingly pulling away slowly with a gasp, tongue hanging from her lips and a strand of saliva bridged between them, eyes hazy staring down at the girl as they panted for air in the silence.

Slowly, Dove sat up, staring down at Loki beneath her, hips still grinding in pace with the dull thrall of the music that was clearly driving Loki crazy inside, watching as she struggled to hold herself together under herself, nails raking down strong abs leaving raw angry marks for Dove to enjoy on Loki's flawless flesh.

She sucked her lower lip between her teeth. She wanted to know if she even could break Loki. Make the girl unravel so much that she released something primal and if she could, what would it gain her? She was desperate to find out. Was there a beast lurking behind those beautifully deep pink orbs just waiting to tear Dove apart and ruin her? Could she set it free if there was? Would that be ok? It had to be, Dove needed it to be. She was rude but fragile inside and needed someone who wasn't scared to actually break her before putting her back together, not just surface level but all the way.

Sure, Loki was rough, torturous, but would she actually go that far? Before Dove could truly find out, Venere walked through their door, Loki forgetting to lock it in her excitement, staring at her scroll at first, "Hey guys so we still going to training? Me and Raiden have been waiting for you two for a while now…OH MY GOD I AM SO SORRY!"

She panicked when she finally looked up, Dove and Loki staring at her in surprise, in too much shock from their own little bubble being so abruptly shattered to react at first. Venere covered her eyes, trying to feel her way back out the door as Dove quickly got off Loki, very glad they were both still dressed, and darted over frowning, "Dammit Venere don't you fucking knock?!"

Loki was still stunned, starting to grin like a fool before she began to laugh like crazy as Dove was shoving Venere out their room, the scrawny girl constantly apologizing as Dove was trying to make her stop and get out. When the door finally closed, Dove let out an annoyed sigh and leaned into the door, "Fucking christ… well that moment is ruined…"

Loki was just laughing hysterically on her bed, "Her face was so funny!"

Dove groaned and sighed, going to her desk and turning off Loki's scroll, her girlfriend rolling to her side and watching Dove with a grin. Loki was actually a bit relieved for the interruption, unsure what she would have done if Dove pushed her too far. As the girl dropped herself into her desk chair again, trying to refocus unsuccessfully back on her homework, Loki got out of bed, "Well, I'm gonna go on with the two of em and train. Ya comin?"

Dove shook her head, "Hm? Oh no. I'm not in the mood right now and I really do need to get this work done. You really should work on it too, you know."

She was waved off as Loki left her to herself. It was quiet in the room and Dove sighed, leaning her head into her hand after a while, getting her work done with a half assed attempt before she put things away and stared at her scroll, going to do some reading on her father she wanted to catch up on. She caught sight of the scars on her knuckles from when she beat Hel in the face at the beginning of the year, having left it to be a warning to people to leave her alone. It worked more than she thought it would, though for the people it didn't work on it only seemed to invite a darker level of attention.

The bullying had gotten worse. Some of the more strong willed faunus like the group of boys were making Dove very aware what they thought of her as some sort of toy or piece of meat, clearly raised to believe in the old ideals that people who strayed from their mates to be with others were some sort of sexual deviants or something. It was mostly boys after her with only made her skin crawl and her stomach sickly turn but there were girls too, some even spurred by Hel starting rumors that Dove was available for a good time if you roughed her up.

She had started to spend so much of her time outside of class in her dorm room, even skipping a bunch of training, just to avoid the stares, howls, cat calls and unwelcome hands on her skin. She had never felt so vile all over in her life but she didn't want Loki expelled so she often shrugged it off or if it happened when she wasn't around didn't tell her and she didn't want to make it worse so she didn't tell her parents, not wanting her peers to add any other insults to the already obnoxious sneers.

All she was able to find hope in was that most of the faunus and male attention was coming from older students who would graduate and disappear soon enough and until then, well Dove could stay in her room and bury herself in school work to pass time. She was more then certain it was why she was becoming so much more eager for Loki to abuse her more roughly, wanting to take control back over her body to someone who she trusted and remove it from those she didn't, but she couldn't say it to the girl. She knew it would send Loki into a blind rage and she was too afraid to lose her if she got kicked out of school because she was very certain Loki would actually kill for her sanctity.

She wished she could tell her mother but that, again, would also just cause more issues. Once again, dove felt forced to remain silent about her misery and pain and it was weighing her soul and heart down so heavily she was often an emotional zombie or emotionally overwhelmed, and much more often Loki was finding Dove trying to be in control in their intimacy, Dove subconsciously needing to take back power over her own body and what happens to it after all the groping hands and verbal and emotional sexual assault that was constantly being afflicted upon her just because people wanted to shame her for a faunus mate marking she didn't want.

The only sign Dove had that something was wrong now though was a little too late coming in the form of a reflection caught in her scroll by happenstance when she shifted just so and saw it. But it was a little too late. Before she could even turn her head or body, everything around her went dark, rough scratchy fabric over her head and a painful skin ripping grip from clawed fingers grabbed her swiftly then an intense pain in her head and a sudden drift into a void of nothingness.
