"I can't stay away because I was trapped in Hell, Apollyon." Luna's voice came out as a loud shriek, and her fingers grasped the hem of his shirt as she pleaded in a whisper, "I have no choice."

"Did you attempt to fight back and reject his advances?" The hatred bleeding from his bloodshot eyes showed the scared child within, the boy whose parents starved the love and loyalty he craved.

His clenched jaw trembled.

"Did he force you to have sexual congress with him?" Apollyon demanded, but his fierce queries toned down a little when  he asked, "Were you hurt?"

Luna knew that despite Apollyon's rage at this perceived betrayal, her husband was still concerned about her well-being.
