It seemed me, trying to cover up the incident only furthered my guilt in other people's eyes. I, at the tender age of thirteen, was more than likely already seen as a loose woman in other people's eyes. Or so I thought.
"Rei, it's okay I will protect you from this lecherous demon! I am sure this demon pushed his way into your room and ripped your clothes off." Alissa suddenly and righteously declared. Which kind of made me dumbfounded how Alissa was declaring all these horrible things that Able had not even done.
"Umm... Alissa..." I reached out to pull on her shirt to try to get her to stop but who would know that she was too caught up in the moment that nothing anyone said to her at this moment would get through to her.
"I am sure Rei yelled for help many times only to be poked and tickled by the demon until she wet herself. Rei cried her eyes out..."
*Bonk!*
"Ouch! Rei! Why did you hit me!?"
"Why!? You ask why!? What is wrong with your head!? Are you trying to help me or ruin me?" I really couldn't take it anymore. She was making the whole situation ten times worse with her imagination.
"Haha! It is good to see you kids getting along so well." Cedric came over with a big smile on his face.
"Dad..." I said shyly as I bowed my head.
"Dad, is it okay to let this woman free in our house she is trying to snatch my fiancee!" Able complained.
"If someone is able to snatch her away from you then that just means you were not good enough!" Cedric replied.
"Able is perfect!" Oops… I spoke out my thoughts… This is embarrassing... I didn't mean to express that any time soon. Although it was true Able was very sweet and perfect in every way but that was my own personal thoughts that I did not dare to voice them out loud. I am sure my whole face is as red as an apple now.
"Haha! Seems you have nothing to worry about." Cedric patted Able's back hard almost knocking him over. I gave a peek at Able's face to see that he was also blushing which made me feel a tad better but still…
"Ahem… Umm… Back to Able taking advantage of my Rei..." Alissa seemed dead set on labeling Able as a pervert.
"Alissa, please drop it. That time was truly an accident. Able is very good to me… He is very pure in his actions." I really couldn't take someone talking bad about Able. It would also be the same for everyone that helped me but Able was different. He saved me from the house where I would never experience any familial love and brought me to his home where both his father and mother shower me with familial affection. Plus he was my fiance and the person I liked. If I did not stand up for him what kind of person would that make me?
"Humph! Fine… Since Rei says so I will let this go." Alissa crossed her arms across her chest and gave a "humph". I could tell she was not happy in the least, but like this, I could finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Alright kids, dinner will be ready soon. Why don't you go back and get cleaned up before dinner." Following Cedric's words, I said my goodbyes to Angelina and headed into the house.
But right as we entered, the one person I did not wish to see was standing in front of me. "Look what we have here, an unwanted child. I heard you were so neglected at your old house so much so, that they barely even fed you. I can only guess that you sold your body to Able, otherwise why else would he be willing to marry you. So young but already so dirty."
Letting out a sigh, I wondered why this little girl had such a filthy mouth. I was about to say something when Able who was at my side, stepped in front of me and yelled: "Sara, watch your mouth! Did you not learn your lesson last time?"
"Humph! Able, you are my future husband! Yet you still stand up for this slut!?" Sara shrieked.
*Slap!*
"You!" I guess never in her life did she expect that she would be slapped by Able of all people.
"I do not like hitting girls. But I will not let you sit here and continuously slander my Rei. If you continue doing this, I do not mind making it so you can not get out of bed for a few months." Able cracked his knuckles and raised his hand causing Sara to fall back onto the floor onto her butt, covering her face with her arms in fear. It seemed she was indeed scared of Able.
I reached up and grabbed Able's wrist causing him to look over at me, his eyes burning with anger. I never thought that having someone be angry for you would make me feel so warm inside. I gently shook my head and pulled his arm down and slid my hand onto his. I gazed up into his eyes and smiled as I said: "Do not dirty your hands. I can deal with her."
I could see the anger in Able's eyes begin to fade away. I leaned my head on Able's shoulder and looked down at Sara. "Sara, I will give you one final warning. If you show yourself in front of me again saying the things you said now. I will break both of your legs every time I see you from that moment on. If you think I am lying then… I will give you a reason to believe me."
I reached down and grabbed Sara's wrist…
"What do you plan to do!?" Fear filled Sara's face.
*Snap!*
"Ahhh!"
