take a bow, for those bad decisions we made

[ ooc; takes place after the raid ]

She knew it had been a mistake. The whole thing was written in red warning signs and she ignored them. They could have even flashed before her eyes and she'd be ignorant or attempt to be. Eden sat on the beach for a bit, feeling that her legs could give out at any moment. She didn't bother to stand. She felt weak and sick. You stupid woman her mind reeled pregnant, with your captor's children? How's that for bad decisions? Her stomach heaved again but she resisted. Disgust with herself rolled in waves, like the beach itself.

Her head bowed, the prickle of tears in her green eyes combined with her inner turmoil. This is my fault she thought I made the decision to sleep with him, and now I'm... She couldn't even finish the thought what do I do? The healer in her decided to focus on the condition. She may be one, but now she was also a patient. Slowly, she stood. Eden stumbled once, twice, before her legs righted themselves. What did she expect? What the fuck was she supposed to do now?

The others were gone.

She had a clear thought. Run it said. Run, don't look back. Just keep going. Find a way to have these pups without him knowing. What sort of life would you even live here? The Plunder doesn't even know the story. You'd... be forced to keep pretending. Eden stumbled toward the border, trying to resist the temptation. She already failed in one aspect. What was another? Her steps lead to the invisible line. Her head bowed, sniffing at the Plunder's scent there. So faint, gone to Habari.

Nobody would notice until it was too late.

She made the decision to step over the border. Doubt lingered in her mind, and it was enough to make her pause. But before she could turn around, he was already upon her. Eden managed to let out a strangled sort of cry, half scream, and half shock.
