Claire blushed a little as indeed, her messed up arms were revealed again, to Aldin! But she listened at his idea and found it quite fascinating. A needle over sharp knives was much preferable! "I could keep the blood in viles- that is brilliant, Aldin!" She told him, sincerely pleased with that idea. She was glad it hadn't hurt Aldin though in the process of learning this trick. "Wish we could have found that out sooner- but then.. I wasn't exactly an open book either." She shrugged a bit. It was simply one of those things she could not have stood to be teased about when she was younger; and as a habit, simply hid everything. "I will start finding viles as soon as possible and we'll work with those instead.." She added, a bit more hopeful with new solutions being found.
Serena nodded, and let Xavier guide her through the process. It wasn't all unpleasant at first with Robert. He had indeed started off as a loving, caring husband. But something changed during their encounter with the brigands... Here her panic rose a bit as the memories of her being stolen out of her husband's arms, Robert standing there staring, as five men rushed for Serena. "My baby! Please-! He's all I have now!" She'd cried to the men. But they laughed and Robert mockingly smiled, as he put the baby inside a tree, waving a hand in a mock-sad farewell gesture to Serena as she was dragged further down the road! She struggled like a vicious hell cat; kicking, elbowing, shoving ruthlessly, only to be pushed back by the men, then kicked brutally down. All five had their sick fun with her. It wasn't until the last one had finished, that she was able to move at all. They'd bludgeoned her head with a big rock; left her alone for a moment, thinking it'd be easier to carry her away when she fell asleep from the nice concussion they'd left her.... Robert hadn't come back to save her- he'd only laughed and waved goodbye. Somehow, Serena had found her burst of desperation and flight-response mode, and lunged away from them. They had chased her, but she found the remains of her torn clothing and dressed herself, stumbling out of the field, she found her baby's crying not far, and took him from the tree branch. "So-Sorry Niald.. I'm going to try to find us a safe place... but you must be quiet...please...Shhh.." He immediately stopped, and she carried him all the way up the mountain slopes, where she found a cave... at first it had an unoccupied feel to it, but she saw people soon, and begged the leader of the cave to help.... Robert was never seen or heard from again.
Serena blinked back tears. But the tears were turning into ice there on her cheeks. "He's not taking me back." She said quietly. She was already thinking of ways to make his life a complete living hell from everything he'd ever put her through and tomorrow or whenever she was supposed to see him- she would let him know what she thought of his betrayal! "To leave a baby alone like that..." Her hands were shaking slightly with rage. She wasn't even thinking of what she had gone through- she was thinking of how easily Niald could have been hurt! She didn't repeat any of the memories however- she simply ... couldn't. It all made her too sick, thinking of those vile acts forced upon her by that many men. She felt shamed, but mostly furious. . .. "I need to... to walk. Not outside----" She paused. "Just somewhere away from this..." She said apologetically, meaning her torn up, fractured heart. She wondered how much more agony she would go through before it just stopped beating. She knew she would be in beserk mode when she saw Robert's sorry face though....
Rebecca scanned twelve books that night, blurry eyed, but having been used to being a good researcher from all her time with Alna. She missed her greatly. She suddenly paused at one big, thick, silver tome and grabbed a highlighter off the long table they sat upon. It was a law of the Golden Fae. Malthen Ana, like everywhere else, had complex laws. The ones about marriage and til death do you part were especially strict and unforgiving. If Robert did claim Serena as his wife again... she'd be devastated. "Niald... is there anyone here right now who could help us find anything about marriage rights?" She asked, rubbing tired eyes. She'd not slept in a while, nor taken breaks from studying. She hadn't eaten since the fish and cornbread meal yesterday, but barely noticed. She wanted to find some kind of help for Niald's mother. Serena needed a break from so much tragedy!
