"I remember... and I-I'm doing better. I still feel sick, but I'm happy now." Elena mumbles as a hand caresses her head.

"That's to be expected. Your omega is healing from the loss, but your body is taking it well for now since you were still in the early stages. You're really brave, you know that?" Francesca smiles, her greyhound tail swishing behind her gently.

"T-thank you... you're really nice." Elena looks up at Keith, who smiles gently back at her. "I... I want to talk about what happened..."

"From the beginning?"

"Yes..." Elena nods as the gray haired woman smiles, pulling out a recorder and placing it on the table.

"Ok dear, whenever you're ready."

"Yani was a friend of a classmate of mine... he's about 3 years older than me... meaning he's Sal's age. Um... he would constantly f-flirt with me a-and at first, I liked it... he was c-cute." Elena mumbles, feeling awkward as Francesca nods in understanding. "W-we kissed behind the school one day and he asked me to be his g-girlfriend. I told him he'd have to ask my parents, b-but he said it could be a secret... I agreed..."

"So he was your boyfriend?"

"Y-yes... the first time we d-did it, he was gentle and sweet... he said he would take his time and h-he did. It felt good... but I knew it was wrong and told him that we c-couldn't anymore." Elena covers her face in shame as Keith continues to pet her head gently, remaining silent. "H-he said he wanted to make me his... I said no, not until we tell my parents."

"Ok, so what happened with the other times? I was told it was more than once?"

"Y-yes, three times. The second time... he pinned me in a dark classroom a-and told me that I was going to be his. I tried to fight him o-off but he said that if I r-really loved him, I'd be a good omega and take it... it made me bleed and m-my omega didn't want to make him sad... so I let him... without protection." Elena whimpers as she wipes the tears forming in her eyes. "The last time was b-before Mama walked in... he held a hand over my m-mouth and forced it in me while I w-was sleeping... w-when he finished, he got changed while I just watched him and when he heard the door begin to open, he tried to hide in the closet... but Mama was quicker and caught him."

"I see... what about him marking you?"

"H-he did that after he was caught and after the a-abortion... I-I don't want to be h-his... I h-hate him." Elena whispers as the greyhound hums in understanding.

"Since the mark wasn't two way, it'll be gone in 3 months time. I thank you for sharing your experiences with me, I promise to do everything in my power to ensure your happiness in recovery." Francesca smiles brightly. "If you're having trouble around alphas, we can help as well. I know your father and brother must be worried about you."

"T-they are... I j-just don't want to be touched by them right now..."

"That's fine, dear. You're doing fine. Things will get better, I've seen them get better."

"Sal, how in the world did you spend the night in jail?!" Raine panics, wondering how his sweet and caring boyfriend ended up in prison with busted knuckles.

The fox's tail flickers hard as he rewraps his hand behind the bars, glaring at the purple haired Altean that shivered on the other side of the cell. "I kicked his ass."

The Doberman hybrid flinched, confused as to what all could have happened between the night and that morning. "When you get out, will you please tell me why?"

"I...-!"

"You're free to go, young man. You're lucky that what you did was noble, but there was no need to go overboard. Ok?" One of the officers spoke, opening the cage as Salvador sighs, standing up as he hands the first aid kit to the cop. "Take care, alright?"

"Thanks..." Salvador flexes his hand, throwing a look towards the Altean who flinches further back into the bars. "Come, let's go."

"Shouldn't we wait for your dad?" Raine questions, looking over to the brunette man who smiles sadly at them, giving them a thumbs up. "Oh... nevermind, he said we could go..."

Leading his boyfriend out of the station, Salvador looks at the morning sky; frustrated and pissed as the dark skinned teen known as his boyfriend walked alongside him. "Will... Will you please tell me what happened?"

"That bitch assaulted my sister, four times and had the nerve to mark her. So I ended up going feral on him... after I took him out of the room, while he was unconscious from the first punch I gave him. Just seeing his face made me go crazy and I couldn't control myself... Papa couldn't even stop me..." The Latino-Korean rubbed a hand down his face, angry. "Seeing her like that was the last time I've ever wanted to see... Lo siento mucho, Elena, por no protegerte..."

"Hey... this wasn't your fault... you're an amazing big brother and I know that she appreciates you for being there for her." Raine smiles sadly as his boyfriend looks down at him in disbelief. "You were there for me when I was depressed... I know you'll be there for her."

Giving into his tears of frustration, he wraps his arms around the omega; pulling him into a hug as arms wrap around him; comforting him with a familiar scent.
