(but there is no rape to read) but if the word rape offends you then turn away now. Together by BSB4*ever The first thing I felt was pain all over my body. My muscles wouldn't work because of the pain. I slowly open my eyes, and waited till my eyes were more focused. Though my eyes were still a little bit blurry I was somewhat able to look and get my barrings. I was in a room with no windows, a bed, two doors, and a tiny light bulb for a light. But since I was to weak to get up. I couldn't go look out the doors. So I slowly went back to sleep. Later, though I don't know how much later, I woke up and my body didn't hurt as much. In fact I can see clearly and I'm able to walk and not fall. So I got to my feet and walked around trying to get a better view of my surroundings. I then walk over to the both doors since they are on the same corner. I opened the one on the right. It was a bathroom. A very dark and old bathroom. Suddenly I felt a cold draft all over my body. I cross my arms trying to warm myself up. However when my arms felt skin I looked down. What I saw mortified me to death. I was completely naked, with bruises all over my body. I turned on the bathroom light and went in front of the mirror, and almost screamed. All over my breasts were several bruises shaped like a humans hand. A males hand at that. As well as on my stomach and my lower stomach felt funny, as well. Immediately I knew what happened. Though I couldn't remember it happening. I was raped? With that thought in mind I turned to run back into the bedroom. When I saw a window above the bathtub, I went over to the window and peered out. I was on the first floor of a several story building. I quickly ran to the bedroom and grabbed the thin sheet off the bed then wrapped it around myself then unlatched the window. Then slowly and carefully climbed out and stepped on the ground I grabbed the sheet and wrapped it around me tighter and clutched it while I ran. After a few minutes of running I came to a street I knew. I ran into a apartment complex and ran all the way to apartment 42. When I got to the door I banged on it with all the strength I had. "Mulder," I yelled. Immediately the door opened. And I jump into him and clutched him as I cried into his chest. "God, Scully where have you been?" Mulder asked as he clutched me as well. "I-I need you to take me to the hospital," I barely was able to whisper. "Are you alright?" Mulder asked finally realizing that only a thin bed sheet was covering my body. "I think I was raped, Oh God, Mulder don't let him take me again!" I said as I clutched him tighter. "He won't get to you again, I promise," he said as he gently picked me up and carried me to his couch. "Let's get you some of my sweats so you won't have to wear that anymore," he said as he went to a chest by his closet door and pulled out gray sweats and handed them over to me. I got up and took them to the bathroom. A while later I emerged carrying the bed sheet with me. "Do you have a bag for this?" I asked not looking him in the eye. "Sure has that been with you the entire time," He asked. "I don't know," "What was the last thing you can remember?" Mulder asked. "You took me home a few days after my cancer went into remission. I walked into my apartment, then nothing. I woke up today and found myself naked with handmarks- all over my body- and- and a strange feeling in my lower stomach. I grabbed the sheet and climbed out the bathroom window," I said as I started to cry. Mulder came up and hugged me and held me while I cried. "The night I took you home was 3 weeks ago, the FBI have been looking for since, I thought I lost you again to those bastards," he said. "We'll get through this together Scully I'm here for you," he then whispered. I then backed up and looked him in the eyes where I saw several things going through his eyes. "Thank you," I said. "Don't thank me, I should thank you for finding me. I was- no am worried about you but don't ever forget that I'll always be there for you," he said. "I won't will you hold my hand through the tests," I asked as our hug ended. "Scully if you asked me to go to hell and back for you, I'd be back in a heartbeat," he said. "Sweet but we've been to hell and back several times." "Yeah but you've never asked me to," Mulder said smiling as he held a jacket for me. "No you'd just do it," I said as I wiped away my tears and smiled back at him. The end?.
