Iris' felt herself wake up before she opened her eyes and instantly pulled her blanket over her head. The sun streaming into the room hurt her eyes. She felt sick, but the last time she had been sick was years ago? Wait she had gone to talk to Midnight at the club last night. And she had been depressed and started drinking, oh shit, Iris couldn't remember the rest.
She quickly felt around her bed and let out a relieved sigh, well at least she hadn't brought anyone home with her.

Chase opened the door softly, sticking his head blond head in. He grinned when saw the blanket over head. "Mornin'," he said, his voice soft. He knew what a loud noise did to someone with a hangover. Edging into the room, he produced a cup of coffee, some toast, and a glass of orange juice. "Want breakfast?"

Iris groaned and buried her head in her pillow, "Who bad was I," she asked her voice slightly muffled from the pillow, "And what did I say?"

A grim frown crossed Chase's face. "You don't want to know," he said as he set down the toast and juice down by the bed. He sat down on the edge of the mattress and nodded toward the woven bracelet that he had placed on her wrist, "That still work?"

"Not on me, my body is immune to most magical healing," Iris said scooting even further underneath the blankets, she didn't want Chase seeing her sick and horrible looking. "And sadly I do want to know because usually I spout out things I keep secret, so I need to know who to kill," she feebily joked.

"Well, then you better kill me," Chase replied with a smile. That brought back the words that Iris had said the night before. Were they true?

Iris snorted which gave her an even bigger headache, "You're the last one I want to kill, I'm assuming you're the one that probably that brought me home last night."

"Yeah, I brought you home. You actually fell asleep on the way there." Along with almost being kidnapped, killed, or something else equal. But he wasn't going to tell her that. Along with not telling her about saying all those things about having sex with him. "Midnight was actually the one who called me to come there. If she calls me, I'm guessing she thought it was pretty serious."

"Well I guess one would be pretty frighten if the Headmistress of the school was drunk, and doing who knows what," Iris said closing her eyes her hand peeking out of the blanket to take the orange juice from the tray. the Oj and the hand reached back into the blanket and Iris took a sip of orange juice, "But once again you've yet to tell me what I said, that's what concerns me the most right now."

"I don't know why you need to know. You mostly just talked to me and Midnight was still a little woozy so she might not even remember. It doesn't seem like a big deal. We could just forget it and it wouldn't matter," he protested. For some reason he was a little emberassed to repeat it and he didn't want her thinking things were weird between them or anything. It wasn't fair to hold someone accountable to what they said when they were drunk.

"Chase, please just tell me," Iris said removing the blanket from her head and siting up, looking Chase in the eyes, "I'm a telepathic, and I've been nice so far not to pry. But judging by your voice and body posture I'd say I said something that would make you a little uncomfortable in our relationship. If anything, if I said something about my past, I'd like to explain myself."

Chase swallowed and looked away with a grim sigh. It was true she could take the information if she felt like it and he actually prefered that she do it that way, but even so, he decided that he would tell her. If she wanted to know so badly, not telling her would set another obstacle in their relationship. "Umm... I don't think you mentioned anything from the past," he began akwardly. "You said if you weren't so scared of sleeping with a guy, you would 'do' me in a second... and you said you were a prude and wouldn't sleep with me unless we were married or maybe the end of the world coming. You finished with 'Woo, bad guys gonna take out the world, then I'll be your's, Chase.'" If he was anyone else, he might have blushed at enunciating all that, but as it was he just gave another sigh. "Happy?"

Iris looked down at her hands and was quiet for a moment. She had feared that she had said something like that, but she regreted that it was Chase. She took a deep breath and sighed, "Thank you," she said and quiet for a few more minutes then spoke again, "I wish I could say that wasn't true, but it is."

"Why are you scared?" he broke out. "What makes you afraid? I mean, I can sort of understand a moral commitment to not having sex or something along the lines of that, but fear?" He raked his hands nervously back through his hair.

Iris let out a sigh and looked Chase right in the eyes as she spoke, "A Guardian's power only appears after they've lost their virginity. It was done that way to make sure that the Guardian's came to power they'd be old enough to start training and be large enough to weild their power. My mother feared that someday I would be more powerful then her and overthrow her from her Guardian postion. So she decided to nip my power in the bud, she hired a man to hunt me down and rape me. To make sure that when I came to power I wouldn't be strong enough to weild it so she could easily destroy me."
"Chase I was raped by my mother's request just because she was afraid of me. Yes, I was able to defeat her, and sadly I killed the man who raped me, I regret it he was only a hired hand and nothing more. But I was brought up to be lady-like, save sex until I'm married. But since that happened I-I just feel wrong, dirty almost, like no man should want me after what happened," Iris said tears forming in her eyes and she ducked back underneath the blanket.

Chase's eyes widened in suprise and then he reached over and touched her hand gently, carefully. "Oh Iris," he whispered. "I'm so sorry." This made perfect sense why she wouldn't want to have sex or wouldn't want to be touched, but most of all, it saddened him that someone could have done that to her. She hadn't only seen the evils of the world but had experienced them and yet was still here to fight for Earth. She was so pretty and seemed so delicate... So easily hurt. If she hadn't killed the guy who had raped her, he would have done it. "But your wrong. I don't think any less of you for that. I love you Iris and nothing in your past is going to change that."

"It's not your fault, the fates just handed me a bad card it happens to everyone," Iris said brushing her tears away and taking Chase's hand in her own. She blinked her eyes a few times as Chase told her that she loved him and her cheeks flushed a little but she kept silent, "Thank, thank you," she managed to say.

"The fates suck," Chase responded. It seemed like a joke but he didn't smile. "Get some rest. It will be a while before the headache wears off." He reached out hesitently, then touched her cheek, stroking her blond hair back from her face as he leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead. "I'll see you later," he said before he got up and left the room.
*Exit Chase*
