June--CW, recount of molestation
Date: 2020-10-21 03:10 am (UTC)Last night I was abducted off the street. I was stripped… and corralled inside a tent with others who were taken similarly. We were being sold, one by one in an auction. I could hear it happening. And whatever this was… it was not a game… not a sick fantasy as that brothel had been. We were actually being sold… At one point Vash had broken in, unlocked the doors and released us. It was chaos as we all ran. It has all mixed together in my head now. They recaptured me almost immediately… and Vash as well. I tended to his injuries as best I could. I did not realize until now that his left arm is a prosthetic. I always assumed it was some complicated armor that he simply chose not to remove. I only know now because they disabled it.
The slavers brought people through to examine us. They referred to us ‘deals’ because of our scars. Vash was calm and even flippant as they examined him but tried to defend me when… that man examined me. He touched me and said the most cruel and disgusting things as he did. My skin crawls when I think of it. I stood there and endured it as he touched my breasts but resisted when he reached between my legs. The slaver took me by the hair and held me in place as the other one forced his fingers inside me. I know Vash was shouting by then and trying to get to me, but they had him chained in place by the neck. I don’t remember what he said then, only that I spat in his face and he struck me for it.
What happened next… It was an eruption of… feathers. I have no other word to describe them—like… armored feathers… but it was Vash… he was protecting me again, as he had before when they came for me, but this was more… this was so much more… He was screaming, desperate where they had chained him, and they just kept coming in a flood… his body stretching and forcing those men away from me and to the ground. His eyes were completely white… and he just kept screaming… and it was like he couldn’t stop it once whatever it was had started. Maybe I should have run then, but I couldn’t. God, it was like the window all over again… it was like watching Kenshin break all over again and I couldn’t… I couldn’t leave him like that. I tried to talk to him back, to tell him it was alright, that he could stop… but before he was able to more came in with weapons and subdued him… and the slaver dragged me away before I could make sure he was alright.
They offered me to that man at a discount for the trouble. It makes me sick… It all makes me sick. The way those people looked at me when I was being sold. That man stood at the front sneering at me, shouting out all the things he intended to do to me. It took all of my strength not to react. Though maybe that was a saving grace… because another man, a fellow LIER, started to bid for me. As it turns out solely to save me from him. It makes me wonder if there are any good people among the natives here. Why does it seem as though the only ones with any sense of morals are those of us they’ve stollen into their program.
I don’t know what they’ve done with Vash. I keep trying to contact him, but I don’t know why, they have his clothing and possessions. I can’t get back in to find out. They refuse to tell me anything. I won’t forgive myself if they’ve done something to him on account of me.
