Wraith smiled gently. "I know what you mean. When I went to get Tristan to rescue you, that's the first time I managed to cross the bridge since Kennedy called it quits."

Maggie took her hand, squeezing it. "I still haven't really thanked you. I can't--I can't tell you how thankful I am."

She shook her head. "Don't worry about it, really. I'd never leave a friend in a place like that." She shuddered. "I wouldn't leave anyone in a place like that."

"I know you wouldn't. You're a good person. Even if you don't always believe it." She smiled at her, squeezing her hand again.

She chuckled dryly. "I told you, I'm not as hard on myself as Sebastian is. I've done things...things you don't know about, but I don't regret them. He regrets everything, that's the problem."
((Off to bed! G'night! <3))

((Night!))
She sighed. "Well, I bet he's regretting me right about now."

"Now who's being hard on herself?" Wraith scolded. "What he's regretting is getting you thrown in the Refuge, and...and everything that happened after that."

She frowned. "He couldn't have known what would happen. I want to believe he would have stopped it if he could."

"Of course he would've," Wraith said immediately. "He didn't know about the girls disappearing, not till it was too late. When you went in there, he thought he'd be able to protect you." She sighed. "He used to think that about me, too."

She lifted her face to look at her, suddenly remembering something Goblin had said. "He--he said you experienced...Clara...what happened to you..?"

"I...I..." she stuttered, looking out over the city. She'd only told this story twice, and sharing it with anyone scared the hell out of her, but if it could help Script at all...
"When Sebastian was in the Refuge the first time," she explained just audibly, "I had no idea what to do. I met this girl who told me I could make money down at the docks." She gulped. "So I...I started...you know. And one day, these three guys..." She had to force the words out. "They really hurt me. And they were cops, all three of 'em."

"Oh, Clara..." She said it on a breath, her insides twisting at the thought of Wraith ever having to sell herself, let alone be tortured by three men. She grasped Wraiths hand, giving her a sad look.

"It's all right." Wraith gave her a shaky smile. "I mean, it's obviously not all right, but I've...you know, dealt with it." She thought it best not to mention just how proactively she'd dealt with it.

She bit her lip. "I'll never understand it. How men could do that to a girl."

"Me either." Her eyes narrowed angrily. "There are some good guys out there, though. You just have to figure out which ones they are."
