Mei
"Don't know anything? Or don't remember, maybe I can jog your memory..."
Mei could only watch with eyes that got bigger by the minute as he picked up her hand, which she understood was a bad thing. Nothing of this was a good thing so this must be bad too. She could only watch as he suddenly broke her finger, she wanted to scream but it got stuck on the way, as a lump in her throat. A big uncomfortable lump. It didnāt hurt as much as she thought it would, but seeing it happen was terrifying.
"Wrong answer, again... This concludes our first session, be prepared to return tomorrow..."
Tomorrow? It was going to continue tomorrow? Mei felt like screaming out the frustration, but didnāt. What was the point. When he cuffed her she didnāt even try to resist, there was no meaning to it anyway. It was over. It didnāt matter that she told the truth, he didnāt listen. More like he didnāt care. Everyone had decided which the true answer was, so there wasnāt anything she could do. She was turning apathetic. She didnāt even react when he suddenly threw her out of the room, another fall to the ground didnāt do much. Her body was already protesting by all its might, she was broken.
"Walk forward, until I tell you stop, understand?"
Mei rose clumsily as he spoke, even if she didnāt he would just throw her around instead. And she was tired of it. She walked towards the female guards, assuming that it was where he wanted her to go. Looking at them with dim eyes as they started to lead her around the ship, not knowing really where they were taking her. But apparently it was her cell, well she looked forward to sleeping. Maybe she would wake up from this bad dream. Very realistic bad dream.
"You look bad, sweetie. I am going to fix you all up, don't usually do this... But you're... helpless. Oh and the name's Petra, Petra Scout. You can call me Pete for short."
How strange, the woman was actually nice. Mei watched her quietly as she started to clean her up. Was all the prisonersā good people? Well how unexpected.
"Let me see your hand."
Mei tried to yank away her hand from her, no more pain. But she failed with protecting it and cried out when Petra put the finger back again. Once again sobbing and placing the hand close to her chest looking pitiful.
"So, sweetie, what's your name?"
Mei sobbed quietly, āMei Archerā¦ā
Dominique
Dominique was chatting happily with the man, Greg, when she saw the door open which Butch had entered. The girl who came out didnāt look to good, well she wasnāt that surprised. It was Butch. Even if the girl was a prisoner this was too much, why didnāt anyone say anything? Dominique sighed slightly at the thought, they were scared probably. When turning her attention towards Greg again she heard Butchās voice as he spoke to the guards, which has ticked of Dominique since they showed up, she tried to ignore his voice. But that was easier said than done since his steps came closer. Faster than usual. Dominique looked over just as he passed by and dragged Greg with him.
"What do you think you are doing, wuss?!"
Dominique rose up quickly staring out the window at how Butch lifted up poor Greg, āCaptain! Stop it!ā
"Thought when I talked to her earlier made it clear that I claimed her! Maybe I need to make it clearer, wuss!"
As soon as Butch started punching the poor man Dominique sprang into action, rushing to the door leading out to the hall. It was more her protective instinct that sprang into action than anything else, she didnāt actually think it through at all before doing it.
āCaptain! Stop! ... Butch stop this!ā Dominique collected everything she had and pushed the big man of Greg, stepping forward so she stood between them. Trying to protect Greg from any more punches.
āButch, you are acting like a little kid! You canāt start hitting innocent people like that, we only talked! It's me who you are angry at so if you're going to hit anyone you should hit me. And I am not yours to possess Butch, if I want to talk to other people I can do that, I can talk to anyone I want. We are not dating anymore so you canāt control what I do and Iām not going to change my mind! Not when you are acting like this!ā
She took a step closer towards him and pressed her finger at his chest, āNow you are going to help Greg up and apologize for your childish behavior. If you donāt do that I am going to court and I'm going to ask for a restraining order. You may be the captain of the guard force here at Morus but I was a highly appreciated resource at the main land. So if I want a restraining order I get one.ā
