Never Again

[Sacrahlicous]

Eve couldn't take it no longer, tears streaking her cheeks as she hung her head. Another night, another fight. She could feel the swelling of her bottom lip. Her breathing coming quick in between soft sobs that raked through her petite frame. She denied him again to the point of anger, and he struck her. Swallowing, she found that her throat was raw from her cries. It would be the last he or any one of her family laid a finger upon her. Closing her eyes she pushed herself to her feet. Swaying, and staggering back she gained her footing. No more. Shaking her head she cast her sister one final look before pushing past her. Making the older girl stumble back in shock as she took to one hall. She could hear her sister's yelling behind her, calling to her mother and father who had been in another room arguing over what they should do with her this night.

Eve wouldn't let them get her again, years she had put up with their abuse. both physically and mentally. It was never easy when those who she should trust where beating her, and toying with her feelings. Hell her step father took her innocence away when he raped her. she could still feel the pain as her heart didn't want to. Gasping out she felt her heart constrict within her chest. releasing more sobs that made it difficult for her to maneuver down the stairs without falling. Which would give them time to catch up with her. Snatching up her wallet that was on the side table near the front door she pulled it open.

"Eve, you walk out that door and you will regret it." Her step father hissed, her large honey sets widening as she gazed back at him from the door way. Shaking her head she walked backwards.

"No, I am not coming back. I've had enough of this shit. I hope you all rott in hell!!" She screamed at them shoving her self down the steps at the front door. her runners merely slipped on easily as she ran from the housed. Screams and yelling echoing behind her knowing that her stepfather was lumbering after her. He was a large man, to her more petite frame, so she was able to out run him.

Eve slowed, each breath burning within her chest as she panted heavily. So desperately wanting Death to come claim her. what reason had she for living. Having no friends, no family. the family that she did have lost that title when reached her preteen years, even before then. Staggering forward she fell against the Bridges walling. Clinging to the cold stone. Her honey set stared to the darkness. the changing fall to winter air nipping at her pale skin, that was adorned by bruises. She wore a tore night gown. One strap snapped, leaving her almost white blond tresses to sweep around the bare pale skin of her shoulders.

this was it. The end of the line for her. She would not allow them to harm her again. Not if she could help it anyways. Closing her eyes Eve gripped the street lamp post before carefully pulling herself up onto the ledge of the wall. Her eyes Opened, lifting to gaze at the Full moon that was surrounded by darkness. She was going to do this. Her free hand clutched at her wallet.

Inhaling she tried to gain the courage to jump into the darkness, knowing that below was the river that would surely ease her suffering. Eve was so focused on trying to remain calm that a slight noise made her whip her head around. Causing her to lose her footing. Falling to the icy chills of the river. She cried out before the water took her sharply under. Her head hitting a rock. Knocking her out. Letting her remain still in the soft current of the water.

Yukio was out walking in the woods like he did on most nights. This was the times when he check the traps for animals and made sure they were set for the next day to come. Yukio was wearing a black warm jacket and some long pants. He was a hunter out searching for his next meal when he saw a young woman run by out of the corner of his eye.

Yukio followed her slowly not sure if he was seeing a person or a ghost or if the solitude of living out in the woods was finally getting to him. he noticed her pale white skin and she looked like she was crying. as he stepped out of the woods to speak to her he stepped on a twig making it snap. After that all he saw was her honey eyes falling from the bridge.

Yukio moved before he really thought about what he was doing. He was down the stairs next to the bridge and knee deep in water before he even noticed what he was doing. he dove in to the water and started to swim to her. He slowly dragged her out of the water and pulled her a shore. he looked down at her frail body and froze.

Yukio looked down at her and slowly felt to see if she was breathing. he blushed touching her form then relieved he let out a sigh that she was still breathing. " shes alive " he said to himself " thank god shes alive" he picked her up gently and started to walk back to his log cabin.

Eve heard him speak, yet her herself could not respond to him. Her hair was a soft pale blond, sticking to her pale face, her cheeks slightly painted in rose from the nipping cold. Her lips were purple, and parted as a small whimper escaped her vocals. Her eyes wincing tighter together. Pain was throbbing madly in the right side of her forehead, where her bangs clung to her messy with blood from the gash.

A small groan escaped her, her head lolling to one side as he lifted her.Was she dead, she was moving, someone spoke to her. no not dead. But alive. she wanted to kick and scream, but the cold water chilled her right through.Making everything stiff and frozen. She wanted to slip away. She supposed the man though he was doing her a favor.

A frown pulled at her lips before she managed to open her eyes, batting her thick dark lashes to gain a clearer vision. Her honey sets falling upon the man. who was he? And why did he help her?A small tremble course through her lithe frame and she pulled to his equally soaked frame.

He kept walking towards his little house, Yukio smiled down at her when he noticed her eyes opening. " Can you hear me, Are you ok" Not sure his words were getting to her he opened the door to his house and walked to the couch putting her down on it. He turned and went to the fire and lit it.

As the warmth filed the room he went and got some bandages kneeling next to her he started to gently treat the head wound smiling all the way" ill have some food ready for us in a little bit after i finish treating your head" he still wasn't sure she could hear him but he was determined to get threw to her

As he finished dressing her head wound he sat with his back against the couch and started to hum a little song as he relaxed waiting to see if she was ok

Was she okay? No she was far from it. Her body ached all over, and she wasn't sure if it was from the beating she received or if it were from the fall. some from the fall she was sure. Her head throbbed and she felt something wet and sticky on her forehead making her groan.She couldn't find her voice. Finding her vocals frozen. Licking her lips she pulled open her honey sets again as he laid her upon the couch. And guilt began to eat at her. She was soaked and she could feel the couch beneath her moisten from the water upon her body. "Sorry" Her voice cracked as she turned to gaze up at him. Her breathing trembling as she slowly began to thaw. Welcoming the warmth of the fire.

wincing she she closed her eyes as she held her breath. The pain of the gash on her forehead stung, and the skin around it burning from the sensitive skin as it began to thaw.nodding she smiled her eyes closing. questions bombarding her throbbing head. Who was he? Why did he save her? and where was she. things she was going to ask once she warmed up a bit more. "Thank you" she breathed, her voice slowly becoming its normal purr

 

[yukioukita]

Yukio smiled hearing her voice for the first time " There's nothing to be sorry about I'm the one who scared you." he kissed her forehead, and smiled " Im Yukio, This is my house your safe here from what ever you were running from. he gets up walking in to the kitchen

He returned with a tray of hot coco" here let me help you drink this" He lifted her head and slowed poured a little in to her mouth " I hope its to your liking" he drank his coco and waited, Hoping it would help he had mixed in a little herb that should help dull the pain. He sat down in front of the couch and started to fell asleep drifting to sleep he wondered if she be there when he woke.

Eve couldn't help but to apologies, it was what one would say beaten into her. When he planted a kiss on her forehead she cringed, obviously not used to the gentle display between one another. Licking her lips she closed her eyes" I shouldn't of been on the ledge to begin with. "Her voice soft as she opened her honey sets and dragged them back up to him. Thankful to his kindness. And gave a small smile. She felt so cold.

She hadn't noticed him move. but next she looked up he was hovering over her with a tray of cocoa. It burnt her lips and she pulled away. and forced her numb arms to take claim of the cup and smiled. "Its good thank you.Little hot." She chucked softly curling in one corner cup in hand. She was already feeling better by the time she hit half cup. But things grew quiet. Making her glance up at Yukio. finding that he passed out. Smiling it wasn't long after, her feeling warm, safe, wrapped in a blanket. Her belly full of cocoa. Her cup being placed on the table before she herself passed out on the couch on her end

Yukio woke up thinking it was all a dream. As he got up he walked in to the kitchen to start making some breakfast when he noticed her asleep. He smiled and started to make food for the two of them he cracked some eggs and started the pancakes. Everything was going well as he cooked he opened the blinds to let the sun in. The light shined off a pot in the sink and blinded him. He fell Knocking the pans down with him. He landed with an egg in his lap and a pancake on his head.

He winced as it burned on his skin. He was tiring to to stand but he hand hurt his arm a little in the fall. He laid down and relaxed and waited as time went by for the food to cool down so he could get it off and go take a nice shower.
