*Tick tick tick*

Curse that dumb clock.

*Tick tick tick*

Normally, five minutes moved alot faster, but for some
reason tonight, five minutes seemed like five hours.

*Tick tick tick*

Three minutes left.

Haruka shivered as she stared into her bathroom
mirror,
looking at her reflection. Ever since her rape on the
beach, she had been a mess. That night, when she had
hobbled up to the ballroom, she had been living in a
hellish combination of physical and mental trauma.
The words of Onii played in her head, the whole scene
playing like a tape recorder....

~~~~~5 weeks earlier~~~~~

"That wasn't so bad, was it?", smirked Onii.
She couldn't respond; her lips were pinched into a
thin line, the side of her face was swollen, and there
was an unbearable ache in the feminine area between
her thighs, which were moist with blood.
He leaned over and whispered into her ear.
"I'll tell your family you had to go home early, since
you have appearantly slid on the stairs and blacked
your eye." As he went in, she did the only thing she
knew to do; she ran. Her feet slapped the sidewalk as
she raced, faster and faster. Any normal day, she
would have refused to take a walk for the sixteen
blocks to her mansion....but now, that didn't matter;
she didn't care; all she wanted was to get away from
that monster, that beast that stole something precious
from her that she could never get back. Her chest was
heaving when she reached the main gate. With all her
strength, she hauled her body over the iron fence and
jogged over to the main veranda. She was winded as she
took out her house key and let herself in. The whole
house was quiet as she pulled herself into the
bathroom upstairs, her bathroom. She collapsed onto
the sky blue tiles, out of breath in unimaginable
pain.
Bitter tears stung her eyes as she began to cry.
"Curse you, Kaioh Onii. Curse you to hell."
The minutes dragged on, and she slowly pulled herself
together; crawling over to her hot tub, she turned on
the water, allowing the steaming liquid to pour in.
She slowly pulled off her evening gown and laid it in
the hamper, but first she rinsed it off, to wash away
all the blood and sand. She took out her clips, and
lowered herself into the warm waters. The water itself
took a slight pinkish tint as it made contact with her
scarlet thighs and privates,slick with blood.
As she soaked, feeling the warmth wash away the
dirtiness, she looked into her bathroom mirror....

*DING!*

Haruka's head snapped up as the alarm rang on the
clock. The five minutes were up, and the waiting was
over. She picked up the small white object, and her
ivory face turned ghostly pale as she saw the results
of the test: +. A plus. That's positive.

"Oh god....I'm pregnant."
