"I'm so sorry, I didn't want it to come to this Penny, please forgive me" Silas' voice echoed in trough the dank room. Penny had lost count of the days, but she knew she'd been here too long. Her wrists were bruised from the rope tied tightly around them bounding her to the bed.

Her skin was pale and cold, covered in bruises from Silas torturing her-he would go from hot to cold, extremely manic. His hands were clasped around penny's neck as she struggled to cry out, tears streaming from her eyes. He threw her violently back against the tattered mattress and stood up. He began punching his own face, muttering about how wrong this was. Penny sobbed, begging him to let her go home.
"This is your home now..." He said with blank eyes, his mouth slightly ajar, and maniacal twitch at the corners of his lips.

"Do you want any more?" Harry asked as he sat up, catching Penny off guard. She inhaled, her chest rising dramatically as she looked over to him.
"What? No. I'm good." She replied, assuming he was asking about the food.
"You were lost, in the memory?" His brows furrowed as he gazed at her.
She nodded slowly.
"I want them to go away. I can't control it though, the minute I let myself relax he creeps in..."

"I'm sorry, Penny I wish I knew how to help." Harry placed his hand on her thigh, giving it a tight squeeze. She flinched, pulling back slightly. She hadn't been intimate with anyone (willingly) since the last time she made love to Harry.
He pulled his hand back and she could see tears instantly welling up in his eyes.
"Bad move, I apologize." He said as he pulled his hand back, nervously fumbling with his hair.
"I miss you Harry. I miss how safe I felt with you, I should have waited for you. I should have called Mauri's mom first, why did I fall for his trick?" Her voice strained to be steady as she spoke, eventually failing her and she broke down, crying into her hands. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into him, a tight grip held her there.
"Don't ever blame yourself Penny, you were fooled, we all were fooled. He was unwell, you couldn't have done anything to prevent this. You're so strong Penny, you're so wonderful and don't let him win. Don't let him break you." He spoke softly, petting her hair to comfort her.

"I'm so sorry Harry. I loved you so much, I wanted to grow old with you and have a family with you and I messed it all up. I am a horrible person, I got what I deserved." She retorted, her heart breaking all over again.

He lifted her chin up, staring into her eyes. She could see a hurt there that was her fault.

"You don't want that anymore?" He said with a small smile teasing at his lips.

She blinked, chewing on the inside of her cheek. "Of course I do..."

He held her gaze, a crooked smile playing on his lips. "I want it too”
