Part of her had hoped that he would have put the pieces together on his own so she wouldn't have to admit the truth of it out loud. There was something about the word that was so hard for her to voice. It was something that had happened and she had mostly accepted, but in her mind it was just easier to tuck those memories back into the darkest corners of her mind. If she admitted what happened out loud it felt too real. From the tone of his voice it was very apparent that he wasn't picking up these hints and she was going to have to do exactly what she didn't want to do. Her eyes got pulled back up to his when she felt his nose on her forehead. She saw his confusion, but at least the hurt that had been there was gone. She took in a shuddering breath and let it out in an equally uneven sigh. "His... His name is Elias. Regulus, I know how you're going to react when I tell you this, but I need you to just listen to me for a minute, okay? Promise me." She made him meet her gaze for a moment and waited for him to agree to her promise before she went on. Her gaze drifted away from his as she spoke. She didn't want to see his expression as the truth of it all sank in. "Elias... forced himself on me... I was raped. Okay? There. I said it. I was raped." She sighed heavily and her gaze landed on her forepaws. "But, I've seen Elias again since then. He's... He's not evil. He's not inherently bad, as strange as it is to say. Unstable maybe, but not bad. He wasn't in control of himself that night." She paused for a moment while she tried to formulate a way to say what she wanted to say. "I forgave him. I want to help him. Maybe I'm foolish, maybe my healer mindset runs too deep. But if I can find a way to help him stabilize his mind..." She pulled her two-toned gaze back up to his, looking to see if her brother understood. She hoped he would, though she knew how protective he was. Truly all she was asking for was for Regulus to agree with her decision. The last thing she wanted was for Regulus to go on a head hunt for Elias. "I have three beautiful children now. My daughter, Daelos, looks so much like me and I think I'll make a healer out of her. Miach reminds me a lot of our father believe it or not. Kane is my little black sheep, but he takes after your protectiveness." She smiled as she talked about them, her expression softening. "Who would have thought that I'd end up a mom... Not only that but actually love being a mother." |
