"That is enough, thank you. But I need to..." Emeriel clutched her burning stomach, wincing.

"Drink." Emeriel hesitated but obeyed. The cool liquid did not quench the fires raging inside her.
"There. That is better." Taking the cup from her, Madam Livia studied her closely.
"How do you feel?" Emeriel's fingers curled into fists in her lap. Finally, she managed to breathe out through a ball of fear.

"I thought... maybe if I ignored it, it would go away. I don't know what I thought." Emeriel let out a mirthless laugh, wiping her face with the back of her hand.

"Wait, Aekeira...!" She reached for Aekeira again, swiping angrily at the hot tears streaking her cheeks.

"Do not touch me! Do not-" A strangled cry tore from her lips as shaky hands reached for her own breasts, pinching her hard nipples. Her body arched. "Em, it hurts really, really bad," she began to sob openly.
"It h-hurts so much I don't think I can bear this...!"
