Jetta nodded her head. "Your name is Nabiki, eh? Sounds Japanese."
"It is," Genn spoke out. "Nabiki Tendo is a Japanese name, Jetta... I believe it's ranslated as 'To yeild to the laws of nature'..."
Most of those present shuddered a little bit. Rather ironic, considering that she was under the effects of the very nature of lycanthropy.
It was then that Nabiki's eyes widened to maximum. She was mumbling a long line of gibberish that sounded like Japanese being spoken at high speeds as she sobbed into Jetta's shoulder.
"Jetta pat the girl's back gently. "Easy, easy girl... Calm yourself." Yet, even with Jetta's calming voice and motions, Nabiki just kept sobbing more and more.
Theodore looked over at Genn and raised an eyebrow. "I thought you were helping with the translations, Genn."
"I am," Genn said, although she sighed, "Or was. She's speaking so fast, and her mind is on so many thoughts at once I can't keep up! Something about fear, family, she's missing, a dark place, some guy named Ranma Saotome and..." Genn's eyes widened. "Oh no..." She whispered softly.
"What's wrong Genn?" Jetta asked the Rakshasa seriously, while trying to calm the hysterical werewolf in her arms.
"I... I got something about..." Genn gnawed at her lower lip, not feeling comfortable with this at all.
"ABOUT WHAT, DAMN IT!?" Jetta yelled, only to regret it as Nabiki was sobbing louder and holding onto Jetta tightly. "Sorry, Nabiki... I wasn't yelling at you... I'm sorry."
Gina looked at Genn seriously. "Genn, what happened. What did you see?"
Genn looked a shade paler than her usual bronze. She looked at Gina and simply said, "Rape."
Everyone there had visible tensed at hearing Genn say that. Theo sighed. Shaking his head, he then held his hands out, his eyes were glowing. Soon a golden sheen had covered everyone in the room. The Diggers, Genn, and Jetta could soon begin to somewhat understand Nabiki as her words were English once more."
Julia nodded her head as she understood. "Translation spell, Theo?"
Theo nodded his head, "We've no time to wait for the girl to calm down. And we need to talk to her, to find out what's going on."
Jetta nodded her head in agreement with Theo. She was gently caressing Nabiki's back. "Easy... Easy girl... Calm down, please..."
Nabiki was still sobbing, but actually calmed down a little. The woman could speak Japanese? She looked up at Jetta with teary eyes. "What am I going to do?" Nabiki asked.
"It'll be all right." Jetta said calmly as she held the girl. "I'm sorry to say, but the process of lycanthropy cannot be reversed, so you'll be stuck as a werewolf," sighing, she added, "But believe me when I say the Diggers and I will do whatever we can to try and explain this to your family."
"NO!" Nabiki cried out. "It's not that... Not that at all..." There were treks in Nabiki's facial fur where tears were falling.
Jetta nodded her head at hearing this, "It's becase fath... Because Brendan raped you, isn't it?"
Nabiki nodded her head ashamedly.
Jetta sighed as she continued to hold onto the distraught werewolf. It made sense to Jetta. while under the thrall effect, Nabiki would probably have cheerfully done anything that bastard Brendan had asked of her... But with it gone, all the memories of what had taken place were coming in to the forefront of the girl's mind all at once. "I'm sorry he did that to you... I'm sorry that we can't do anything to change that..." Jetta's eyes hardened. "But I WILL get back at him for you, I promise."
Nabiki cried a little harder. "I don't know what I'm going to do."
"Well, you can stay here for a time," Jetta said, "I'll help you adjust."
"And how does one 'adjust to being pregnant!?" Nabiki snapped before breaking down into sobs once more.
Jetta was just shocked as she was kneeling on the ground beside the younger werewolf. She looked around and saw that the looks on the Diggers faces mirrored her own.
However, Britanny's eyes narrowed. She was not only angry at Brendan, and this atrocity, but at herself as well. That bastard had literalyl set it up so Britanny was fighting a pregnant woman. Britanny herself was with child and was constantly worried about the safety of her child. And the thought that she hurt an unborn child, even one of Brendan's did not sit well with her at all. "That's it," Britanny thought seriously, "I don't care what dad thinks, I'm going to make sure that Brendan dies this time."
