An Extremely Apologetic Mia

Derren opened the door the the cheer team's locker room, and found it completely pitch black. The locker rooms at your school didn't have any windows so even in the middle of the day if you shut off the lights they would be pitch black. Naturally, Derren assumed the light switch in this room was similarly placed like the one in the men's locker room. He fumbled his hands around to find the switch whilst wondering where the hell Mia was as she was the one to call him here in the first place. Finally he found the switch, and was about to flip it.

"De-Derren? Is that you?" A shaky feminine voice near whispered to you. That was enough to cause him to jump out of his skin, but he quickly recomposed himself.

"Mia? That you?"

"Yes."

"What, uh, are you doing in the dark like this?"

"Please, turn on the light Derren."

Even more curious about this than before Derren flipped the switch. When he turned abound what he saw shocked him to his core. Starting with the least shocking thing was that she was bare naked from head to toe, nothing covered her form as she laid everything bare for him to see. Now why was one of the most beautiful girls in school being full on naked in front of Derren the least shocking thing? Well that was because of the color red, Mia was painted in that color. Blood, her blood, gushed forth from countless cut wounds across her one blemish free skin. Welts from massive strikes to her body were already turning a blackened blue. Most noticeable was her face, she had a massively swollen right eye and directly above that was a gigantic gash filled with shards of glass from the nearby full length body mirror which now lay as shattered and broken as Mia herself. Nearby on bench next to Mia was a discarded bowie knife its blade a deep crimson color.

"Jesus, what happened, who did this to you?" Derren panicked and rushed to Mia, despite himself seeing something like this made him forget everything else. His plans at the moment could wait.

"I did it."

"You, you did this to yourself?!" Derren exclaimed in surprise and dismay. Mia just nodded feebly. By now the blood loss was affecting her ability to get oxygen to her brain and she started to collapse backwards. Derren, thing fast, dove behind her and scooped her in his arms before her head could make impact with the floor.

"Jill, Jill get in here now!" You called out to your loyal servant.

"Yes, my lord! Did that no good Mia do something to upset y..." Jillian cut herself short as she took in the scene before her.

"My lord what happened?!"

"It seems she did this to herself but I'm not clear why, quickly, help! She's lost a ton of blood!"

"On it I know exactly who to call!" Jillian rushed out of the room and into her office. Derren trusted her enough by know to feel confident that Mia will be getting help quickly, so he decided to wait where he was with her head resting upon his lap.

"I-I'm so-so-sorry." Mia shakes due to blood loss but still stared Derren in the eye to declare her apology.

"Is this why you did this? As an apology?"

"Mm Hmm" Her eyes are half lidded as she struggles to maintain consciousness.

"I-I love you Derren! I never loved anyone else before I longed to have that feeling of a maiden in love, to be swept off my feet and have my heart flutter at even the smallest of his smiles. Yesterday, when you complimented me, was the first time I ever felt that way for real, but how could you love a monster like me. I know more than anyone, even Vivian, I was the one who ruined your life. I had you beat, I had you ostracized, and I didn't regret it."

"Until you realized how you felt about me?"

"Yeah, that's right. I figured how could I get you to see how serious I was about you. I knew you'd must have heard about my falling out with Vivian, so if I stay that course I will lose my status as well. So, the only thing left to do to myself was inflict as much physical damage as I could to myself. I need, I desperately need you to understand my heart feels like it's in a vice grip I can't live without you in my life Derren, not any more. Please forgive me, please love me?" At this Mia passed out. Shortly after two female EMTs rushed in and got to work treating her wounds and rushing her to a nearby hospital, but not before giving you a deep bow. When you shot Jillian an inquisitive look she responded.

"I haven't been idil in recruiting new members my lord, and don't fret the doctor performing the surgery also belongs to you."

"Thank you Jill, you never fail to impress." Derren gives her a peck on the cheek as he grabs the bag she is holding. Knowing her you figure she had a change of clothes for you, and a quick peak inside confirms this.

"Thank you, my lord. Given the circumstances it would be tactless to ask for more, but latter on would you be so merciful as to give this lowly sinner a deeper, more intimate reward?"

"Sure if you'll also stand guard while I change." Jillian was already halfway out of the door before you finished a big smile on her face of barely contained excitement.

Derren manage to get through the rest of his day, and receive news that Mia'd pulled through her surgery, but it would be a while before he could see her as she recovered.
