Part 15


Notes

navy = flashback


Lina sat on her bed thinking as Rezo walked up behind her and lay a possesive hand on her shoulder.

"It's good to have you back sweet heart." Rezo murmurred as he nuzzled her neck.

"Mmm?" Lina leaned back into his embrace.

"I'm going to take you some place nice tonight but right now, I've got work to do." he said kissing her. "So dress nice."

rezo left the room leaving her alone with her thoughts.


She was lounging on the red velvet sofa. Xellos had brought her here to help him 'House Sit' for his boss. She had never seen him before, but could very well imagine what a cold hearted bastard he most likely was. he employed and befriended, if one could call it that, Xellos after all.

Lina began to tense up remembering how Xellos was getting more fierce and pretty soon he'd want more from her than she was willing to give. She thouhgt of using one of her 'Fire balls' on him but knew it wouldn't last very long and he'd only get pissed off at her. She was trapped, and had no idea what to do.

"Oh God help me!" she prayed.

As if contrary to her wishes, Xellos walked into the room, a twisted smile plasted to his face and an evil sparkle in his eyes.

Lina rose to her feet and prepared to fight a battle she was sure to lose. She took the iniciative and threw a cup at him, hoping to distract him enough so she could run. It failed. As she jumped over the coffe table, Xellos grabbed her arm, twisting it painfully behind her. With a swift punch she was knocked to the floor. Xellos kneeled beside her and when she began to rise, slapped her hard, bringing tears to her eyes.

Lina knew she had lost and felt Xellos breath into her ear, "you're mine now Lina darling." She elboed him sharply, earning another powerfull slap across the face.

"Xellos stop that at once." a cold, unfeeling voice commanded.

Xellos jumped to his feet in surprise. "Rezo! You're back earlier than expected."

Lina strained to see threw her misting eyes, her hair spilled over her face from the recent tussle.

"Quite." Rezo stated. "You can go now Xellos."

Xellos spared Lina aglance before departing, unsmiling, as quickly as he could.

Rezo marched over to the softly weeping girl and rew her hair back. Lina tensed as he lightly touched her face, and whiped away her taers. he helped her to her feet and removed his shades, placing them in the pocket of his suit. "How lovely." he murmurred, smiling softly, and walked to the mini bar to get her some ice.

Lina slumped down on the sofa feeling stunned and confused. He's so.. nice. she thought, as Rezo applied the ice pack with gentle hands. Lina relaxed.

"There really is no reason to be afraid. I wont let anyone hurt you, if you like." his calm voice seemed hypnotic to the lost and hurt Lina. Under normal surcumstances she would have taken those words to mean nothing, but Rezo was different. He was clam, sincere, and powerfull. She felt life she had finaly, after all she'd been through, found her prince.


I wonder if that's why I slept with him that night. Lina pondered. It had seemed so right at the time.

I cried in his arms after he healed me. I felt wamr and cared for. Safe. Almost like child again. she sighed.
