The Fifth Nightmare

Fights

Trilla POV

    "Alright little one lets get you dried off and head to dinner." He says and holds out a towel for me to step into. I freeze, if I stepped out into the towel right now he would see my stomach. I just knew there would be a problem if he saw. My lips turn down in a grim smile at the thought ruining my happy mood just moments ago. 

    "That's okay handsome, I can get it myself. Thank you though." I say giving him a smile, he gives the towel a gentle shake and a look that tells me to get out of the bath. "Now, Pet." He says in a stern, don't mess with me tone. I shake my head firmly "No, go get ready to go to dinner and I can dry off and get dressed." I tell him with a matching stiff tone. "Little one, you just m*********d in front of me and yet you wont get out of the bath in front of me?" He says with a growl. 

    I fix him with a look "Yes. I believe that is what I said." I say with a fixed him with a look. He drops the towel on the floor with a huff. "That's eight. Don't make me wait or I will make it nine." He says with a growl. I frown up at him my eyes narrow  "Terro, I will not be stepping out of the tub with you here and that is final." I tell him sternly. He huffs and walks over to the door he jerks it open "Fine be that way!" he says slamming the door behind him. 

    I slump in the water, I feel awful. We had a fight over probably nothing, well nothing but my fear. I pull my knees up to my chest and let out a broken sob. He was already mad at me, he already doesn't want me anymore. I was an i***t to think I could make this work after Markus. I stand up out of the tub, water dripping down my body. I swoop down and grab the discarded towel and wrap it around my body. I turn to the mirror and run my eyes over my body.

     I drop the towel on the floor and glance at the tattoos and scars covering my body. I frown and  look in disgust at my body. I turn away with disgust wrapping the towel back around my body. Disgusting, horrible, gross. Who would ever want me like this.I turn around quick and punch the mirror shattering the glass and cut my knuckles on the shards. I growl out in satisfaction at the familiar pain. Finally, something I was used to. 

    I step carelessly through the shards cutting my feet my blood flows on the ground but I ignore the salty smell of my blood on the ground. I walk out of the bathroom trailing blood through my room. I walk over to the chest on the floor at the base of my bed before pulling on pants and a long sleeved shirt. I leave my hair down and wrap my hands in a bit of clean fabric and again on my feet the fabric stings against my feet but I ignore the feeling and slide on my shoes I grimace when I stand. I slide out my door pulling my cloak over my shoulders on my way out.

    I glance at his door, I debate knocking on it and walking down to dinner with him but I stop the idea in its tracks. I lock my door and head to the dinning hall. I don't see Terro there yet so I grabbed food and pushed between the twins making it so no one else can get beside me. The twins gladly let me between them and they each throw an arm over my shoulder or around my waist. I eat in silence as as my siblings talk among themselves. Malora squeezes my knee comfortingly knowing something was wrong. I give her a thankful glance before digging into my food. I could feel my eyes still puffy from my earlier crying my hands were starting to sting now that I was calmer. 

    I felt absolutely ashamed of the way I had acted towards Terro, he was pry confused by the way I acted and was pry now uninterested in me. I growl at my food and all the eyes jump towards me in surprise. I just shake my head before focusing on my food. I hear feet moving towards us but I refuse to look up worried to meet his eyes. I don't want him to know how upset I am at his dismissal of me. He sits down a few seats away on the other side of the table, I glance up facing Aldwin in the other direction. He glances down at my bandaged hand pulling it to him and inspecting the bandaging. "Little bird, you alright?" he asks going to pull the bandage away to look at the wound. 

    I practically feel Terro's head snap towards me his eyes digging into me. I look down ashamed and tug my hands into my lap. Aldwin reaches over and grabs my chin forcing me to show him my puffy eyes. "Are you alright?" He asks now his eyes a bit softer. It had always been hard to hie the truth from my brother, especially as close as we had always been. I scrunch my nose jokingly at him. "I'm fine, but how is Boon handling his new cat?" I ask shooting a glance at the male in question.  He glowers at me before slumping over his food "Its going away tonight." He says and Aldwin follows it with a chuckle. "It will be back tomorrow no doubt." He says with another laugh.

 I give grim smile and make a mental note to drop a cat in his room tonight. I shovel the food and mouth and quickly leave heading to my room after dinner. I go to my room and slump against the door. I look at the mess on my floor and climb up from my spot and start picking up the shards from the ground and dump them in the trash bin. I look around and get a towel to clean the bloody footprints from the ground, occasionally dipping it in the water to get some of the blood out. After taking a trip from the tub with my wet cloth I see Terro on his knees staring at the bloody footprints in front of him. I bend down and start wiping it up. 

    He takes the sopping towel from my hands and drops it on the floor beside him. He slowly reaches forward and wraps his arms around me. He digs his head into my neck nuzzling in, 

"I am so, so, sorry." he says brokenly against me.
