Chapter 1

Fiona sat down patiently in front of the house waiting for Pike.

He had just gone in with a man to discuss how they would get a house to live in, in this new village.

She raised her sleeve slowly to glance the mark on her arm. The mark that made everyone discriminated her.

She inhaled slowly and covered it back.

"You are staring at it?" Pike smiled as he walked slowly to her.

"I can't help but think about it" she smiled softly.

Pike moved closer to her and showed her the mark on his leg.

"It is beautiful, right?" he whimpered.

"Yes, it is" Fiona mumbled.

"And so is yours. Beautiful, we will not care about what anyone says. Let us go" he helped her up and headed to the center of the village.

"Where are we going?" she asked eagerly.

"Calm down. We have found ourselves a house" he said happily.

"As easy as that?" she couldn't believe it

"Of course, the man has a ranch, a pen. All I have to do is work for him and everything we need will be taken care of. Including a shelter" he pointed to a small house right in front of them.

"Oh! We will be working together, right?" she asked staring into his eyes.

"No. You don't have to get your hands dirty" he shook his head slowly and walked her into the house.

"Everything is in place?" Fiona moaned. She was surprised to see the interior already organised, not in disrrangement as she expected.

"The occupant left a sennight ago" Pike laughed. "We came at the right time" he sat her down on the bed.

"Great" she sniffled.

Pike stood in her front without saying a word. He stared directly into her eyes which made her felt cold.

"What?" she gasped.

"Nothing" he bent down slowly to kiss her on the lips. He stopped but Fiona pulled his head closer to continue kissing him.

They stopped to catch their breath.

"That's sweet" she chuckled. "And it's my first" she scoffed.

"Really?" Pike chuckled. "That isn't the only sweet thing. There is one sweeter than you can imagine" he proclaimed joyfully.

"Of course, I know" she replied quickly.

"Are you sure, you know. You are not supposed to know something like that" he said in amazement.

"In case, you haven't noticed. I know a lot more than I ought to know and that includes knowing the feeling when touching myself" she paused. "Between my legs" she added awkwardly.

"You sure know a lot, but there is more to it" he held her and laid her on her back slowly. He climbed on to the bed, spreading her legs wide.

Fiona's heart beat faster. She let out a hot gasp and closed her eyes. She wasn't sure how this was going to feel.

She noticed Pike had stopped but she could still feel his body very close to her. She opened her eyes slightly and found him looking like he was lost in an uninhabited desert.

"Why are you stopping?" she asked slowly.

"You said you use to touch yourself?" he asked awkwardly.

"I'm sorry if that annoys you. Can we go on, please?" she apologized casually but Pike was still frozen. "Are you okay?" she inquired.

"There is nothing here" he moaned with fear.

"Nothing where, what are you talking about?" she fumed impatiently.

"You are blocked, there is no way through" he replied instantly.

"Okay, I'm a virgin. I have never done this before. But shouldn't you be happy about that?" she was confused.

"I'm not talking about that. There should be a slit, an opening,I mean like this" she grabbed her hand and put it in between her crotch underneath her dress. "Do you feel anything?" he asked furiously.

"What are you doing?" she took her hand from him forcefully. She sat up and looked underneath herself. She was shocked for a moment. She covered herself, stared at him in the eyes and look back at her crotch.

"No, no!!" she cried. "This is scary, I can't look at this" she quickly covered herself and got up from the bed.

She couldn't explain what she just saw. Her body was closed, flattened out. There was nothing down between her legs.

"Please, what is happening to me?" she cried.

"Calm down" Pike held her hands. "We will find a way out of this. When did this happen, are you always like this?" he asked her softly.

"No. It was always there. I don't know what has happened" she paused suddenly. "Am I going to die? Pike, am I dying?" she wailed.

"No. Stop crying" he hugged and consoled her.

"I don't want to die. I'm just a kid. Please don't let me die" she cried on him.

"I have never seen anything like this in my life but I'm sure you are not going to die" he persuaded her and made her sat back on the bed.

"Even if I'm not dead. Won't I be better dead?" she bursted into tears once again. "You are the only thing I love in this life. You will leave me, I am just useless" she shifted away from him.

"You are not useless and I'm not leaving you. I will always be here for you. And you will be better. I will find a way out of this" his voice shook, despite his obvious endeavor to appear strong.

"This has just been for nothing, Pike" she stood up and raised her dress to check again. It might have worn off, she thought.

Unfortunately,there it was and that was how it would surely remain.

"Let me leave. Live your life. Find another girl that will love you and be there for you" she turned away and gasped.

"And you?" Pike reiterated.

"I...I will....." she stuttered and started crying.

"We came all the way to this village for a reason, because we are going to stick to each other, against all odds and you are leaving on the first day?" he sobbed and hugged her again as they cried together in each other's arms.
