Jason Schuyler

"Well, I'm um" Looks at Jason, looks at Gabriel and back to Jason "Do - do you want me to lean against a wall, or lie down on the bed - maybe the bed, right?"

Touches Gabriel on the arm. "Trust me, it'll be scabbed, look days old by morning."

"Alpha? Second? Where would you like me to be?"

From:

"I... If I might?'

Pushing away, moving to gently caress Leela's hair.

"I can't do it. Jason will have to but.. Can I hold you, Dollface? Be there with you like I wasn't before?"

From:

She nods at him, hugs him and looks back at her brother.

From:

Shakes his head, sitting down on the bed.

"Sit here, back to me. Gabriel, sit in front of her."

From:

Naked, she climbs on the bed and turns around so her back is facing him. She pulls her hair out of the way, lets it hang down her front.

"..ready.." oh fuck, this is gonna ..hurt

From:

Looks over at Gabriel, watching him. He pushes her forward, so she is resting against Gabriel.

"Hold her, don't let her move."

He closes his eyes and takes a breath.

From:

Cradling her body to his, tucking her head against his shoulder.

"You can't hurt me, Doll. Do whatever it takes.' Kissing her brow gently. "We can do this."

Eyes locked on Jason.

From:

gonna be strong, gotta be strong Nodding, with her eyes closed, fighting to control her shaking.

"You know I love you, right Jason?"

"Do it"

From:

He nods, eyes still closed. Slowly lets out the breath as his hands shift partway.

Opens his eyes and stares at Gabriel, then looks at Leela's back. He reaches for her shoulders, claws digging into her skin.

"On three. One, two..." He rakes his claws down her back, tearing at the skin.

From:

one.. two... with a moan that heightened to a scream she tried to pull away from the liquid fire - claws ripping down her back. Her nails dug in, tightened, digging into flesh.

She collapsed into his arms when it was finished, shaking, mewling in pain, tears running down her face.

From:

Hands tight around her shoulders, whimpering, memories flooding through him. Hands clenching, flexing as they had, but this time the thought brought tears to his eyes, bile deep in his throat.

"Shhhh. Doll. Shhhh."

From:

Shudders, backing away, his own memories racing through his head. Someone manages to stay calm.

"I-I'm going to go clean up, get some bandages and shit for Leela..."

Slowly climbs off the bed and goes to the bathroom.

From:

Her back still on fire, she drops her arms, lies quietly crying in his arms, letting him hold her, feeling him close to her.

wasn't so.. wasn't so bad Gabriel .. wasn't - Her mouth quivering she slowly reaches up and wipes under her eyes.

From:

Leela? My Lady? Where... What... *the rest fading into a soft growl*

From:

still weeping, trying to get her thoughts under control Asher - beloved. Ok, I'm ok - really.. I .. had to do something, - had to

From:

Not hearing anything, just rocking her against the tears, murmuring softly.

From:

It is most certainly not okay. I feel your fear. And pain. And I smell your blood. YOURS!

From:

Asher.. am going to - rescue attempt tomorrow..hurtsithurts.. must look like I've been mated, marked .. to - to Gabriel. To, to my Alpha..*sounds of crying*

Asher - come, can't explain it right now.. my back hurts, it hurts.. can't concentrate beloved. Please come to me, let me explain.

From:

He doesn't think. He is merely there. Seemingly appear from nowhere on the porch, ignoring the others as he strides into the house, following that scent of blood he knew well and..

Is greeted by the sight of his Lady in the arms of another man.

"And is this your rapist Alpha, Ma petite?"

From:

She freezes in his arms, and her eyes open as she tries to turn, but the pain wouldn't allow her to move her back - to twist.

Whispering "Gabe - that's my lover - Asher, he heard me scream.. you, you - help me turn around, please"

From:

"Yep. Of course. Nice to meetcha, Your Royal Highness.' Carefully laying down Leela on her stomach, despite his words.

Staring at Asher the whole time, only then his eyes bleeding to gold, nostrils flairing.

"Ya know, council still smells like fuckin dirt. I was expectin somethin more special than some angsty, Anne Rice wannabe. I'm gonna check on my fiancee. Laters.'

From:

Not a word, not even a sound. Nothing in Leela's mind even. Just that single blue eye staring at Gabriel. Waiting. Watching.

Only when he hears the click of the lock does he move, kneeling beside the bed, caressing her cheek.

"Ma petite, how could you let that monster do this to you?"

From:

Moaning and bloody, struggling to get to her knees on the bed, trying to get past the the burn, the fire; trying to get the muscles in her shoulders to work right - fucking hurts! pain.. she falls back on her stomach, and lies there crying, not able to see him behind her, but knowing that he is standing there watching her.

....Asher..please

From:

"Lay the fuck down!'

Snarling, his hand to her hip, holding here there.

"You will not move, my Lady.' Brooking no arguement, going to the kitchen, getting a clean rag. Coming back silently, bathing her back gently, carefully.

"Now, explain to me, my love, why did you do this? And it had better be good enough I don't take down this house with my barehands.'

Speaking outloud, wanting the others he scented to hear him.
