 Ilrochè shrugged. "Sure."

"I was an 'orphan' at the orphanage ever since I could remember. Everyone was cruel to me, and I never knew why. The orphanage owner didn't care for the kids. She left them to starve." Alexis's jaw clenched, remembering. "I ran away plenty of times.
"Yeah, that can be really dangerous for a little frail 9 year old girl walking in the streets of Brooklyn. I was...kidnapped, I guess, hauled into the back of the car." She glanced at Ilroche and continued. "I was tied up. Couldn't talk. Couldn't move. I passed out soon after, maybe, two seconds.
"Next time I woke up, I was in a small room, dark with all the windows closed. I heard a voice saying, 'Hello, little girl...' which, for a little girl, scared me out of my wits." Alexis took a deep breath. "Do you want me to continue? It gets pretty weird and bloody after this."

Ilrochè's face paled. "You weren't... um... taken advantage of... were you?" he inquired quietly. Blood and gore was thing he was used to, but rape? He wasn't at all keen on that topic. "Please, continue. If anything, I can handle blood."

Alexis sighed. "The guy tried to. But I killed him before he got the chance to do anything." She glanced at Ilroche's pale face and grimaced. "I didn't do it on purpose. Are you sure you want me to continue?"

"Yes. I'm sure." Ilrochè attempted a smile. "Rape is just an unsettling topic for me." If you asked him why, he wouldn't tell you. He remembered all to keenly the many times he was raped by the prison guards all those years ago. Wait a second... he thought to himself, mesmerized by the fact that those nightmares he'd had now felt like memories. Those nightmares made him fell as though he were in a different time period. Then of course, the ever present memory of that woman being executed... He snapped himself out of those thoughts and focused on Alexis's story of her past.

Alexis watched Ilroche carefully. She didn't know why she was spilling everything out, but she sighed and started again. "I remembered crying.. I was scared to death. The man ordered me to, er, strip, and I didn't do it. He came over with a knife, threatening to kill me if I didn't.
"Then I screamed. A blood curdling scream, and I don't remember exactly what happened. Something black came out of the shadows. Smoke, or something on the lines of that, strangled him. It curled around him, wrapping like a cocoon. When the smoke finally curled off, the man was there, twitching, his clothes singed. I grabbed the knife and stabbed him, blood pouring out of the wound like a volcano erupting. Then I started crying again. I passed out, but the next thing I saw was a bright room. I was back in the orphanage."

Ilrochè felt sympathy for Alexis. Her past was much like his own, weird memories/nightmares aside, though he doubted that she'd ever had to kill the only person she had ever cared about. But he didn't want to think about that right now. "I'm sorry." He said quietly, apologizing for the things he knew weren't his fault.

Alexis sighed. "Yeah. Glad that was over. I guess there's a lot of people like me, at camp," she said, glancing at Ilroche with a meaningful look. Then Alexis slumped back on her pillow. I feel dead, she thought.

"My sisters perhaps or they'll just count an impurity. It's not like I care about their opinion. I hardly even speak to them." Once she got into a conversation with them, she would lose interest within the first five minutes and probably end up in a fight. Rayne pushed herself into a sitting position, lying down for a long period of time would be impossible for her. It pained her slightly considering she wasn't fully healed yet. "And healing powers? That's pretty amazing."

Ilrochè smiled. "My past is very similar to yours, excepting a few minor details..." He sighed. Hopefully she wouldn't ask what those minor details were. The last thing he needed was someone knowing the gruesome pieces of his past. Unwilling to meet her eyes he looked around the room. He noticed a familiar face. Jaxx? Is he still healing from the injuries I gave him? The girl he was talking to was also badly injured, but her injuries weren't his fault. He laughed inwardly. It looks like I'm not the only one here that enjoys beating people up.

 "Yah, I tried a little on you. Apparently it was't enough," Jaxx sighed. "Here..." He got out of bed and stumbled a bit, still shaky on his feet. Wincing at the sudden throb in his side he staggered over to Rayne. "I may have healed the outside completely but I don't think I quite fixed all the inside damage done to me," he muttered. He smiled at her. "So where did you get hurt? I might be able to help."

"I'm fine, things eventually do heal... usually," Rayne paused as she thought of her past. As a child, she nearly had her left arm torn off completely during an ambush. In the end, it was spared, but didn't always work properly nowadays. "From this fight, my worst injury would be my right shoulder. The first night, you could already see the bone once the wound was cleaned. Then I was stabbed again on the same spot."

She noticed Ilroche was advoiding her, and Alexis grimanced. She inspected him, realizing he was hiding something from her. "You don't have to tell me," Alexis muttered quietly, seeming absentminded. "But if you want to tell, I guess I could listen..."

"Here I'll try to help." Jaxx poured some of his healing powers into her wound. Once he was finished he retreated to his bed. Remembering that he was still shirtless he grabbed his shirt and tugged it over his head, grinning. "Did that help at all?" He asked Rayne.

"Thanks," Rayne muttered as she rubbed her shoulder. A thin pale layer of skin had grown over the wound. "It seems like it, but I don't really want to check the internal damage." She layed back gently on her pillow.
