The Shrink

["Parker!"]

[xD haha that can be arranged, rahin. =]]

Valerius noticed the sobs had slowed down, slowly becoming to sniffles then to nothing. He glanced to Silvia with a flash of a smile, not really careing what she looked liked before returning back to the shrink. Unfair...? He tensed giving a hard nod.

"Well...Yeah. I do. It's unfair that he gets go come back. Necro- my wife- wants him to come back and be in Sophies life. I think thats a horrible idea. He beytrayed us years ago and now...now she wants him to come back? I..."

He shook his head as if his mind were trying to puzzle the peices together. Nothing fit. Yes. Mark was the father. He bailed out.... He glanced to Silvia quickly before sighing and letting out one more thing.

"I think I'm just jealous. I think if Mark- er- the guy, comes back Necro will fall for him... again."

He sneered looking at the ground again. Okay! There ya go- the truth. He felt a bit akward a first releasing some personal information here but it was all confidential...right? He folded his arms again and sat back in his chair.

[o.o dun dun duhhh.]

[raihnstar]

Silvia smiled back at Valerius, sniffing again and sitting up straighter. Green nodded at Valerius encouragingly, "Has she ever done anything that makes you think she might turn to infidelity?" she asked, her hands clasped in front of her professionally, "Or is this based on old prejudices between you and the father? Why do you think your wife wants him to be involved?"

Silvia's stomach shriveled once again at the word 'wife', and she felt sad for Valerius, who seemed to have an idiot of a wife. She knew that if /she/ ever had a man betray her like he seemed to imply she wouldn't want him back in her life ever. Why fix it if it isn't broken!?

"How do you think Mark betrayed you, all those years back?" Green continued.

["Parker!"]

The demon shrugged, his broad shoulders falling back to where they normally where. No... Necro was always faithful to him. But the way she had cried when she mentioned him. She was mad sure... but was it greif that brought her to cry when she remembered him? Anyways... She had loved Mark first... It pained him to think that way. Although it was true. He lifted his eyes, his face hard as he shook his head,

"By leaving me. Not just me- but his unborn child and his expecting girlfriend. Necro thinks she can make me back down, but not after what he did... Hrm..."

He shook his head, feeling alot more...lighter. Mentally. He glanced to Silvia with a smile. But he felt like an attention hog because it seemed all about him now. He lowered his smile before speaking,

"Perhaps we should talk about what we came here in the first place?"

Talking about his personal life was feeling weird now.

[raihnstar]

Green nodded, "As you wish." she said pleasantly. "Silvia, since you're feeling...ah...better...would you like to start?"

Silvia looked at her fingers, "I havn't been able to sleep for the past three days, because of waht those women did...People are--- People are good. I know-- I know this! I've seen it." she said feverently. This was one of her core beliefs. That if anything, people were good. "We're born...we're born good, Dr. Green. But...but what that...what that man did..."

"The man? I thought it was three women?" Green queried, looking surprised.

Silvia shook her head, "I...thought so too. But that's not it...I was...I slipped into sleep and dreamed the scene all over again..at one point. Woke up ten minutes later in a cold sweat... He had sold his wife and child to those women..." her voice shook slightly, "I just don't understand it! How can anybody do that kind of thing?! His own wife and child!"

She took a deep shuddering breath, feeling chills crawl over her again. Green looked a little sad, "Some people have been misguided in life, Silvia...it will lead them to do cruel things. Terrible things. Valerius, how did you feel about it?" She felt that Silvia had been through a lot of pressure just now, and turned her attention on the other man.

["Parker!"]

Valerius felt his chest tighten as Silvia started to explain her part of the story. There was a diffrent story now? The man... hadn't he been tricked into killing his wife and children? Wait- he sold them? He felt hairs prickle up on his neck eyes looking at Silvia with awe. When the attention was turned to him he hesitated, thinking.

"I get scared by things I used to take for granted. I don't have dreams anymore- just nightmares. Everytime I see groups of women I picture those three. I can't look at a knife without freaking out..."

He visibly shuddered, closeing his eyes taking a breath in.

"I've been avoiding my wife and kid thinking that that might happen to me."

His fingers curled into fists. He couldn't picture himself... doing that... An image flashed up in his mind. Bloody strands of green hair-- he jumped in his chair, shuddering with a slight gasp.

[poor val =[[[[ ]

[raihnstar]

"Normal reactions after such an ordeal. What about these images most bothered you?" she asked serenly, but her eyes were worried. "I don't think you should be avoiding your wife and child, though. Shutting them away from what happened to you is a bad idea. They can help you get through the pain if you talk to them, and support you whenever you feel scared."

Silvia glared mentally at Green, but kept her face still. Inside she had been rejoicing that he was keeping away from his family. It made her feel...special. He'd come to /her/ for help, not to them.

["Parker!"]

Valerius had started shaking his head from the begining of her talking. He waited patiently though, thoughts sprining in his head, frightening him.

"No..no no no... You don't understand. I don't want her to see the things I've seen. My wife-- She's a pshyciatrist. She can read my mind. She can see what's inside it. I can't just talk to her and let her see right though me. I-I can't bring her into this..."

He was shooken at the thought. His love having to go though this pain. The terror or something he could barely cope with. No! He would never put her thought that. He shuddered, very very unsure what to do.


[awwee someone needs a huggg. =33]

[raihnstar]

"Two people bearing the wight of pain is easier than one, Valerius--" Green began, but Silvia cut her off. "There /are/ two people bearing the pain." she snapped, "It'd be nice if you could stop being so insensitive." She got up and sat next to Valerius on the couch, giving him a hug.

Green frowned, "Silvia I'm /not/ being incensitive! I want the best for both of you, and the best is to talk about it. Valerius, it is...noble, of you to try and keep this from your wife, but it wont do you any good. While you don't have to take my advice I strongly suggest you do. Talk to her about this, even if you're not letting her into your mind. Talk to her, and tell her you've come here, or it might end up in misunderstandings." For the last part she was looking at Silvia, her eyebrows raised lightly. Silvia looked back defiantly, refusing to let go of Valerius. He was so..warm.

["Parker!"]

He shook his head again. No way... no... he could do that to poor Necro. Thoughts of his wife loseing her mind as she was able to see these horrible pictures from him. He would never forgive himself. Never... He heard another voice snap. Silvia? He could feel her warmth press on against him. Silvia was so diffrent since he first me her. She was nicer, kinder...friendlier? Of course. Like they were best friends...yes...best friends. He could use one of those at this point. She understood him. She knew his pain. He looked up to Green, almost confused as what she ment my misunderstandings. His mind didn't click. He passed it by, hesitating,

"I..I dunno. I don't want to lie to her. But..but I don't think she can handle it...she's..not..very..... strong."

He ended his last lingering word as his eyes drifted to Silvia. Silvia was strong...very...strong. He blinked once, a thought exiting from his mind before he looked up at Green feeling Silvia close against him. His first realisation struck him as he could feel an very friendly vibe coming from Silvia. Almost too friendly.

"Maybe I should go...."

He cleared his throat gently, glanceing down at Silvia, still struck with a new thought that maybe...maybe she...she....

[raihnstar]

As soon as he spoke about leaving Silvia got up as if she hadn't been near him at all, and stretched as if this were perfectly natural. She sat down again, sitll next to valerius, but this time on the farther side of the couch, looking bored. Green was staring at her, "...If you think it's for the best, Valerius. Nobody is keeping you here."

There was a pause, and then Silvia spoke, "I can go with you, if you want." It was a dead offer, though. There was a small...tiny...firefly of hope in the back of her mind that he'd accept...but the 'maybe I should go...' comment had obviously been meant to distance her. Green cleared her throat significantly, but didn't say anything, merely stared at Silvia with an arch expression.

["Parker!"]

Valerius glanced to Silvia as if nothing had happened. That was better...although he felt kind of lonely again the warmth gone. Yes...that was good..in his state... He blinked as he regained agian to the real world looking at Green. He nodded starting to get up, then Silvia spoke. He almost hesitated, but glanced at her with a polite grin before speaking, almost amusingly,

"If you want. Nobody's keeping you here remember?"

He glanced smugly at Green before nodding to her.

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Green."

He glanced to Siliva almost suggestivly before walking and opening the door.

[xDDD hahahaha]

[raihnstar]

Silvia laughed and got up, grabbing her coat from the chair. The world was lighter. She'd been about to follow Valerius, but Green stopped her, "Come here." She said in an urgent voice, and Silvia went with an annoyed face. "What," the psychologist began, "Do you think you're doing?"

"...Nothing."

"Nothing my a.ss. Silvia, he's married. With kids! Do you really want to be the one to-- to break appart--"

"Oh GOD, way to jump to conclusions. I'm not oging to do anything. I'm...just... it's just nice to have a friend, okay? He's just a f.ucking friend." She said this angrily, as if she resented it.

"...Make sure he doesn't turn into anything else."

Silvia glared at her, and left the office in a gloomy mood, catching up to Valerius. "Sorry. Forgot my coat." She said in an airy voice, giving him a winning smile. Her stomach convulsed woozily. Silvia...what are you doing?

["Parker!"]

Valerius waited by the very front enterance of the place. He got an evil glare from the secretary, which he brushed off. He glanced off to see Siliva slip from the office. She seemed moodier than before in the office- he wondered what was up. He gave her a momment's look over before nodding and opening the door for her.

"Not a problem. Glad you followed, wouldn't want you to walk home by yourself."

He gave her a same winning grin before closeing the door behind him as he led her to her house.

[xDD omggg sinnnn!!]
