A/N: Here it is finally...R&R

This chapter is basically how Adam and Christian met Gangrel

--

" Christian. Don't wake up. I'm just telling you I'm home." I lightly kissed my brother's cheek as he slept. I turned to leave the room when I heard his small child-like voice.

" Addy please don't leave." Christian begged sitting up in his bed.

" What's wrong Chris. I'm sorry about being gone so long..It was a school thing and I couldn't get out of it. I can see you in the morning."

" Addy please! Don't leave." I quickly flipped on the light when I heard the desperation in his voice. If someone hurt my brother I was going to hurt them.

When the light filled the room I saw the bruises. Christian was covered in black bruises that ruined his beautiful pale skin. I pulled his shirt over his head to see more of the ugly bruises covering his back and chest.

" Chrissy, what happened?" I asked my little brother as I lightly fingered the many bruises.

" I was to loud so he hit me." Christian whimpered.

I knew who he was. It was our mothers new boyfriend Shane. He never hit me because I'm bigger then him but he always beats on Christian when I'm gone. But it's never been this bad. I never should have left Chrissy alone.

"It's okay. I'll lay with you until you fall asleep. I won't let it happen again." I slid beside my brother and pulled him close to me.

" Addy..He did more..." My brother whispered clutching my hand.

" Christian what did he do to you?"

" He made me do things to him..." Christian started to sob loudly in my arms.

" We are leaving." I knew it wouldn't help if I went in there room and beat the shi,t out of Shane. I just grabbed Christian warmest clothes and ushered him out the door.

"Adam where are we going?" Christian asked quietly as we walked down the street.

" Away from here. That's all I know. Come on keep walking Chrissy." I grabbed his hand and led him down the street.

We walked for two hours straight until Christian fell to his knees in tears. I don't know what I was doing. Christian was only twelve and I was leading him all around town in the middle of the night.

" Adam I'm tired. I don't want to walk anymore. Where are we going?" I just went on my knees beside him and hugged him. I was scared but I couldn't let him see that.

" Chrissy don't cry. Come on that restaurant is open. We will get something warm to eat." I wiped the tears from his cheek and led him into the warm diner.

" You order something to eat and I'm going to go to the bathroom." I left my brother with the older waitress who led him to a table. The minute I got into the bathroom I broke down.

I was trying to calm down for Christian. He needed me to be strong but I was weak. I quickly wiped my eyes and took a deep breath. I was interrupted by a tall blonde man.

" Are you okay son?" The man asked me.

" I'm okay sir." I answered quickly.

" I don't think you are. Is that little boy out there your brother?"

" Yes, he is sir."

" What's your name? I'm Gangrel." The taller man stuck out his hand.

" Adam. Nice to meet you but I have to get back to my brother." I tryed to make my way out the door but he stopped me.

" Adam here is my card. Call me if you need help."

" Okay." I said quickly running out of the bathroom. Christian was sitting there eating a big plate of waffles.

" Hi Addy. Want a bite?" Christian asked. I just shook my head and smiled at my little brother. I was thinking about that card that was burning a hole in my pocket.

--

It was four in the morning and we were still walking. I was holding Christian on my back as he slept. I stop at a pay phone and layed my brother on the ground. I had no other choice then to call that man from the diner.

Ring, Ring, Ring

" Hello.." The gruff voice sounded wide awake.

" Gangrel, This is Adam from the diner. Could you pick me and my brother up please. We have no where else to go."
