    Hephaestus – Chapter 10

    End Flashback

    Shane is staring at Carmen, completely speechless.
    Her eyes are unreadable.
    Carmen.
    Carmen who told her everything with no trace of emotion in her voice.
    Carmen, who has finally stopped talking and, silently, is brushing her fingers along the scar on her belly, right under her navel.
    Carmen, who lifts her head and watches her straight in the eyes.
    “…And that’s the whole story…”, she concludes.
    Shane swallows the lump in her throat.
    “Did you draw up a report?”, she asks, her voice croaky, choking, trying hard to sound plain.
    Carmen nods.
    “Yes. That same night, I went to local Police Department and told a cop what had happened”.
    Shane doesn’t break eye-contact with her but she is literally struggling to keep a cool attitude.
    “And…?”, she simply asks. She doesn’t wanna talk. If she says something more than what’s strictly necessary, she’s gonna explode.
    Carmen shrugs.
    “…And nothing. They arrested them. All of them. They already had a police record, so the cops found them immediately…”.
    She chuckles, bitterly, and shakes her head.
    “…The funny thing is that they were still in the apartment. Like what they did to me was unimportant. Like it wasn’t that weighty”.
    She shrugs again, in discomfort.
    “They told the cop it was just a game and –“.
    Shane pulls her in a tight hug.
    With her face hidden in the crook of Carmen’s neck, she allows herself to cry, finally.
    Then, she pulls back, sniffing, and her eyes linger on Carmen’s face.
    “Why didn’t you call me?”, she asks, sadly. Angrily, somehow.
    Carmen smiles weekly and caresses her head.
    “You could have done nothing anyway”.

    ”Tutto si muove, non riesco a stare fermo
    Tremando ti cerco in tutti i canali.
    È alta tensione ma senza orientamento.
    Sbandando ti seguo in tutti i segnali
    Fuori controllo e ormai mi pulsi dentro.
    Sento il contagio di un’infezione.
    Senza ragione disprezzo ogni argomento,
    Ogni contatto, ogni connessione.
    Ti cerco perché sei la disfunzione,
    La macchia sporca, la mia distrazione,
    La superficie liscia delle cose,
    La pace armata, la mia ostinazione…”
    [“Everything moves, I just can’t stand still
    I’m shaking and looking for you on every channel
    It’s high voltage, but there’s no orientation
    I’m skidding and following you in every signal
    I’m out of control and you’re pulsing inside of me
    I feel the contagion of an infection
    Without any reason, I’m despising every subject
    Every contact, every connection.
    I’m searching you because you’re my dysfunction
    The dirty spot, my distraction
    The smooth surface of everything
    The armed pace, my obstinacy…”]

    1. Just love how emotionally open Shane is and I´m with Carmen about the marriage thing. Might be a little too fast. Keep up the good work. I love it.
