{A/N} Catharis is the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions.

Wounded animal syndrome, a phenomenon that stated when a human or animal was so hurt, they would become overly defensive, extremely aggressive and act with immense amounts of desperation. Zoya tried to repeat those words in her head, her patient at this time was hurt and was reacting in a way so he could not get hurt again, his intention was not to hurt her, but to stake his claim. All she had to do was remain calm, talk him down and eventually he would come to his senses.

Aditya ripped the alarm from her hand and threw it on the ground, his shoulders were hunched, every bone on his back so visible as he collapsed onto his knees with the weight of the situation it seemed his bones were seconds away from breaking, wrapping his arms around her waist he held onto her tightly, she was a means of catharsis for him, his angelic saviour who helped him release all of his pent up emotions

Firmly she kept her hands down by her side, though a part of her urged her to bury her hand in his luscious black locks and allow herself to get lost in the darkness of everything he was, but she wouldn't, she was far too fearful for that.

Looking up at her, his eyes held onto hers, much like a sinful connection that she felt wrong for even being a part of. "Touch me Zoya" his voice was hoarse yet still it had such an effect over her body

"Mr Hooda, this is very inappropriate" she sighed "Please let me go"

"Is someone watching, is this why you're acting this way, because I won't let anyone take you away again" he stood up "No one can touch you now, i'm here" he raised a hand to brush her hair from her face "It's okay, you don't have to be scared"

"If you are going to continue acting this way I will be forced to have you detained again and pass you on to someone else" she was happy her voice hadn't shook

"Detained"? He stepped back "You'd lock me up again, for touching you, for touching what is mine"? He spat

"I am not yours Mr Hooda, never have been, never will be" Her voice was like the soft pitter patter sound of the rain against your window, the low whistle of the wind as it called to you in captivating whispers, for she was the elements of the darkest storm, bringing forth destruction but still giving you that electrifying feeling of standing on the edge, never to fall but never to get back up again.

Her words tore him apart, unaware of what to do next he let her go "Is it because I look different"? He wasn't one to feel insecure but he couldn't help but wonder if that was why she no longer seemed to want him like he wanted her

"I, I know who you think I am, but i'm not her, i've never met you before, your actions are verging on sexual harassment, please don't force me to file this as a complaint"

Aditya was bewildered "You're, you're not my Zoya, you can't be" he shook his head "Who did this to you"?

"I believe you did this to me" she looked down at the broken alarm and then to her ripped shirt, as far as she knew he didn't have a memory problem but maybe it had been something no one had picked up on

"I did what"? He studied her with rapacious desire, his eyes were ablaze with animosity "I did this to you did I, I made you act like you have no idea who I am, I made you threaten me, I made you say this was nearing sexual assault" he laughed grimly "Oh this is nowhere near as bad as it could be, you want to see how close I can get to sexual assault huh, not a problem" ignoring how her face paled he wrapped a hand around her throat and lifted her off the ground then pressed his body into hers, his other hand travelled beneath her shirt, pinching her skin, then he turned his head toward her neck "You scared yet"?

She let out a muffled groan of protest and kicked her feet "P-please, please don't do this" she flinched away from him "I, I have a boyfriend, I can't"

Aditya dropped her as soon as the words left her mouth and ploughed his fist into the wall, looking down at her each breath of his made his whole body tremble, much like a volcano readying itself to explode "You have a what"?

"A, a boy-" she was cut off when he pulled her up by her hair

Something clicked within him and he dropped his hand "You really don't remember"?

"Remember what, i've been trying to tell you I have no idea who you are" she rubbed her neck and held her shirt together

The blood from his broken knuckle had somehow made it's way into the parting in her hair. "You know, I once said fate was never so kind" he grinned "Somethings are just meant to be, you know in the Indian culture that means you are to be my wife" Aditya cackled loudly "I look forward to seeing you at our next appointment, doc" running his tounge over his bottom lip he turned on his heel

"Mr Hooda; after this I don't think it would be right for me to return"

"You want me to beg"?

"What, no"

"Then what will it take for you to come back"?

Zoya looked over the table "Nothing, it wouldn't be correct"

"No" he waved his finger "That isn't how it works, you'll come back Zoya" he was sure "You always do"

"I'm sure you may be used to getting what you want, but not with me" she assured him

"But if you don't come back, how will you ever find out the truth of the night my wife apparently died in mysterious circumstances, it's a one time offer toots, take it or leave it"

Zoya opened the door "Officer will you escort Mr Hooda back to solitary confinement, please also remove my name from his file, I am no longer his therapist"

Aditya raised a brow "You really gonna break my heart that way"? He looked down "I had higher expectations doc, shame, tell your uh boyfriend to be careful none of those planks fall on him, i've heard they can be quite unstable"

She gasped "How did you know he was a-"

"The pen, I believe it says builder's society and you aren't a builder, so one last time, will I be seeing you again"?

Her eyes narrowed "Threats like that will not be accepted here, so I stand by my answer, our sessions are over"

"Alright, but don't cry when you regret it, you know I don't like to see you cry" whistling as he was dragged away he closed his eyes, today was a day to remember for sure
