*Setting: The night wind howled viciously, blowing papers, and other such rubbish, around playfully. Midian stood, naked, near the window, looking down on the street. Her and Alexie were taking shelter in a Motel. The neon sign flickered on and off violently, Flies buzzed around it, hypnotised by the light display it emitted. The Orkhid female couldn't sleep. Alexie, however, could. He was sleeping the most peacefullest sleep he had ever slept in his life, post his 10th birthday. The room she was stood in was both the living room and bedroom and thus she had to keep quiet so she didn't awaken her lover. The magick she had worked on Alexie had, had a severe side effect, but instead of brandishing itself upon him...it had effected her. Her plan was to erase all of his bad childhood memories. Get rid of everything that he hated and loathed, yet allow him to keep the incentive to help others like him and her, so that they could go through with the plan they had devised early on in their relationship. But instead of erasing them, she had absorbed them. They had become one with her and now she could vividly remember all of Alexie' bad memories as if they had happened to her. She got flashbacks, sometimes these flashbacks would melt seemlessly with hers and cause double the trauma, double the pain. It was killing her inside, but she would do anything for him. Slowly she turned around to him, he was lying there, the yellow covers upto his waist. His eyes shut. His broad arms sprawled out on her side of the bed, were he'd been holding her. She carefully stepped over to him and sat herself down on the bed, half turned towards him. Carefully she began to stroke his long black hair with her right hand, knowing what he'd gone through and the pain he'd suffered. The neon light allowed some light to shine through, brief as it was, before it flicked off again. Her head began to pound and she knew she was going to have another episode. To avoid awakening Alexie she quickly stood and then ran silently to the bathroom, closing the door behind her as softly as she could before locking it. The room was dark, fumbling with the wall she attempted to try and find the lightswitch. She groaned impatiently, feeling the headache grow stronger, like a Cancer in her brain.

The light came on. She let out a sigh and walked over to the sink, above the sink was a small cabinet with a mirror on the front. Placing her hands on the sink for balance she stared at the mirror, at the reflection. Silently willing the headache to go away, challenging the memories to a duel for her sanity...*

Voice: "No (no), please (please)...not now(now)...not today(day)..."

The childs voice echoed in her mind. She immediatly knew this was Alexie. As she looked in the mirror she could see the image, she was seeing from his eyes, he was 11. A year into the Corrax treatment. He was in the corner of a room, white, padded. A guard had entered, he was tall. His hair was shaggy and brown and his eyes a dark blue. Immediatly Midian recognised him, it was Corain. The guard who Alexie had chosen to kill first in the beginning of their revenge spree. He was younger looking than the time Alexie had killed him, but she recognised him all the same. His face was angered and full of loathing. He entered the room and gently closed the door. Looking out before closing it shut.

Corain: "Daily beating boy. May give ya an extra something if ya lucky...heh."

He smiled. The echoeing from the voices had gone now as Midian was deep into the memory. Stepping towards Alexie, Corain brought out his cattleprod which was holstered to his leg. Tapping it on his leg he looked the naked 11 year old up and down, his mouth twisting in disgust.
*Zzzchhhh*
He flicked the switch and then forced it forwards, driving it into the childs chest and sending volt upon volt into him. Alexie tried to call out, but he was in so much pain that he couldn't. All he could do was gasp, gasp and pray. Corain looked down upon him, his eyes glinting softly. Slowly he brought the cattleprod upwards diagonally and then swiftly manouvered it down, connecting with the boys face. The vision went to the left as the force turned Alexie' head.

Corain: "Ya like that dont ya? Heh? Say it...say "I like it, sir"..."

Young Alexie: "I...I like...*whimpers*...it, sir."

He began to cry, the feeling of sadness overwhelmed Midian as she helplessly remembered this memory which was by no means hers.

Corain: "I know ya do..."

He crouched down and grabbed his face with his right hand, forcing the boy to look him in the eyes.

Corain: "Ya nothing but a pansy, worthless scum. No-ones gonna come back for ya, no-one. Ya mine, ya sissy...ya all mine."

Alexie's hands came into the scene as he tried to beat the Orkhid off, pushing his hand away and struggling to beat him back. The guard merely chuckled and grabbed Alexie' left ankle, he then stood and hoisted the small child into he air. He hung upside down, squirming and calling out as Corain switched on his cattleprod and jabbed him in his sides and neck. As Alexie hung upside down the vision went to Corains groinal area, were there was a significant bulge, and the feeling of dread crept into the range of emotions Midian was feeling from this vivid memory. Pain jolted through his body and in the end the child gave up fighting, he realised that if he just let all this happen...it would happen quicker and, hopefully, easier. Now he just hung there, motionless. Corain realised the boy had learnt his lesson and dropped him on the ground, giving him one last kick in the stomach with his bloodstained boot. Putting his cattleprod near the entrance he then began to unbutton his trousers.

Corain: "Now, ya gonna be a good little pussy and stay still while i do this? Or what?"

Alexie nodded and turned around, awaiting the feeling of violation to envelope his body...
*Zphiccckk*
She gasped, breathing heavily and coughing. The memory had ended and the lightbulb above had shattered, sparks were flying from were it once hung. Her stomach felt twisted and her Heart was pounding so fast it felt like a little man was trying to break free. She ran her hands down her face and whimpered, she felt angry for her lover. She knew what he'd forgotton and, in that sense, it made her relieved. She knew that he was being ripped apart inside, but at least now that cant happen. Slowly she turned towards the door and unlocked it, opening it gently and looking at Alexie as he lay silently on the bed. His breathing gentle and calm. She loved him, loved him so much that she would protect him from his past, even if it meant unleashing a force that she had surpressed for, what seemed like, eternity...
