A/N:: Alright, I'm gonna continue this story before I get the tempting to throw it away. I hope you people enjoy. ^^ Anyways, poor Rapp, getting thrown in jail like that, that's just evil. ::sob:: okay, please read.
"Trial of Lies"
Rapp sat in the defendent seat, laying his head on his clentched hands, waiting for the trial to begin. To his left, he saw the blonde Mullen sitting next to his lawyer, and smugly waved over at the other boy. He rolled his eyes in annoyance, and looked over at the judge, who was glaring down at him, making his head turn again, this time, facing his right. His ears caught the sound of the door opening, as he saw Leen and Nicky walk in. He jumped up, and ran over to the gate, laying his hands on it. Leen ran over, and wrapped her arms around him, letting him lay his arms around her shoulders. Mullen stood up in anger at the two's affection. Nicky pulled on Rapp's coat, making his older brother look down at him.
"Rapp, you didn't do anything wrong, why did they arrest you, and not that ugly blonde man?"
"UGLY?!!" Mullen growled.
"Don't worry about it for now, little guy. Let's just get this over with, so I can actually go home, so I don't have to be here with a certain jealous basterd." Rapp rubbed the treated wound on his hand.
Nicky nodded, and headed over to the defendent side, along with the teal haired girl. Mullen had a look of anger on his face, as the judge pounded his hammer on the rester.
"Order in the court, will the defendent please rise."
Rapp lifted himself out of his seat, making everyone look at him. Murmurs were being spread through the court room, but was silence quickly, when the young teen looked over at them in anger. He turned back to Judge Gadwin.
"Rapp Istegen, you are charged with the following, the abuse of young Leen Elencia, and her near murder, how do you plee?"
"Not guilty, your honor," whispers ran through the court at his response, "I wasn't the one that did all those terrible things to Leen. I would never do that to someone that I love."
Leen felt a smile appear on her face at his reply. He finally said it, right there. Rapp did love her, and now his words proved it. Judge Gadwin sighed, and allowed the boy to sit. He turned over to the blonde man, asking him to rise.
"You may speak, Mr. Garlyle."
"Thank you, your honor. I am here to tell you that this boy in front of you, Rapp Istegen is nothing but a liar and womanizer," His words were making Rapp get boiling mad, "I was on my way to Leen's house to talk to her about going to dinner with me, when I stepped into the house to hear a scream of terror. I run in to see this...thing pinning poor Leen to the ground, pulling her by her short hair, hitting her hard in the face, and whispering over and over, 'die, you bitch'. I saw the tears falling down her face, and I had no choice but to interfere, as he left a deep wound in her side. I pushed the boy away from her, making him quickly retreat, leaving me to treat her. I swear to you now, ladies and gentleman of the jury, I see that you should lock this boy away where he can't touch this poor woman again. Thank you." Mullen quickly sat down, leaving Rapp to nearly jump from his seat, and strangle him.
"You may speak on your behalf, Mr. Istegen." Judge Gadwin turned to him.
"Don't mind if I do," Rapp lifted himself up, the growl coming from his throat, "This man's story is nothing but a dark lie from hell. I was not the one that brought Leen into blood, as a matter of fact, I was the one that treated her wounds--"
"Objection, your honor." Mullen stood.
"Rejected. Go on, Istegen."
"She was running through the dark streets, holding her side in pain. She ran into me, and begged me to help her. I brought her to my house, and treated her side, even though I felt blush on my cheeks while doing it. Anyways, I gave her a new shirt to wear, and put her blood stained shirt in the laundry. The next morning, this liar came and asked me if I had seen her, and it's not like I'm going to give her to a evil ass like him."
"Rapp Istegen, watch your tounge in here."
"Please forgive my recklessness, your honor," Rapp said out of respect, "I didn't give her to him, because I saw the blood of someone else staining his hands," Mullen glared over at the boy, "I took care of Leen, and after a while, we began to get to know each other more, and we both realized that we loved each other. So, if you really feel like arresting the right person, then arrest that son of a gun right over there, Mullen Garlyle." Rapp pointed one straight finger over at the older man.
Rapp smiled proudly, and sat back down. Judge Gadwin sighed, and decided to call a recess, before they got the opinion of two other people, Leen and Nicky.
"We will take a short hour break. Leen and Nicky may stay with Rapp Istegen until the last part of the trial comes up. Recess begin." He slammed the gavel into the rester.
Leen stood up, and headed over by the gate, as Rapp walked out, letting her fly into his arms. They turned in alarm as the blonde passed them in anger. Rapp subconsiously pulled Leen tighter to him, glaring at the older man. Mullen smiled smugly at the other boy, and headed out of the court room. Nicky grabbed Rapp and Leen's hands, and dragged them out, complaining that he wanted a hot dog.
"I wouldn't mind a pizza, or a hot dog, what about you, Leen?"
"I'm hungry, let's go and fill our stomachs." Leen patted her stomach, smiling warmly.
Mullen watched as the trio left, and he watched Leen's sister and husband come out as well. As Feena was being interviewed by some press, Mullen grabbed her husband, Justin and slammed him into the wall behind them.
"M-Mullen!! What the hell are you doing?" Justin hissed, laying his hands on Mullen's, in a warning to release him.
"Rapp has Leen and Nicky to testify for him, and your a lawyer yourself, aren't you?" Mullen looked into the younger boy's ice eyes.
"Yeah, what does that have to do with this?"
"Your going to testify for me."
"No, I'm not, I wasn't even there!"
"Then make up something. If you don't, then Feena's coming child will be going back to it's maker soon."
"You basterd, stay away from Feena, we didn't do anything to you, so leave our child out of this!"
Justin swatted Mullen away, and walked up to his wife, pulling her out of the court house. Mullen clentched his hand into a fist, as the red head walked out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rapp stuffed a piece of the pizza into his mouth. Nicky and Leen could see why he was so hungry considering that he had been locked in a cell since last night, and probably didn't have anything decent to eat in there. Leen simply giggled, and then picked up a piece of her own, as Nicky finished his hot dog. Rapp wiped the cheese from his mouth, and had a smile on his face.
"It's been a long time since I actually had something good to eat, man, pizza tastes good after cell food. I'm glad the judge said I could leave for an hour. But who nows? I might not go back." Rapp chuckled.
"Rapp...!" Leen snickered.
"I know, I know. I'll prove I'm innocent, but you two are gonna have to convince the judge that I'm telling the truth." Rapp laid his chin onto his clentched hands.
"Don't worry, me and Nicky were there, we'll tell Judge Gadwin the truth, and then you'll be off the hook."
"That's reassuring..." Rapp smirked, and looked at his watch," We have to be back in ten minutes. Let's get going."
Leen took Nicky's hand, and they headed back to the court house. Rapp looked around the place, only for something to hit him in the head. He rubbed his head to see a rock with a piece of paper tied to it. He picked it up, and read it, it said in red letters,
'Your death awaits,
as soon as your proven
NOT GUILTY....'
"Damn, this guy likes getting on my tail!" Rapp said, unaware that he said it out loud.
"What are you talking about, Rapp?"
The note was snatched from him, to see Leen reading it. A sweatdrop appeared by his head, as she read it, making a frown go on her face. She looked up, facing her beloved boy.
"Rapp..."
"Leen, I'll be fine. Mullen can try all he wants, he's not going to put me in jail for something I didn't do. You just give me the help I need to get out, and stay by your side, Leen." He carassed her cheek.
She simply nodded, as the two of them went inside, Nicky right next to them. They now had to tesify.
"Rapp Istegen, you may call your first witness."
"Yes, sir. I call...my little brother, Nicky Istegen to the stand."
Nicky lifted himself up, and walked up the front, where the secretary, who offered a bible, which he placed his hand.
"Nicky Istegen, do you swear to tell the truth, the whole, and nothing but the truth, so help you, god?"
"Yes, sir."
Nicky took the stand, and he looked up to face his older brother. Rapp winked to his little bro, who winked right back.
"Nicky, you were in my house on the night Leen Elencia was nearly murdered, am I correct?"
"Yes."
"And, where were you when she was being treated?"
"At our house, trying to get a damn amount of sleep."
"Istegen, that sharp tounge goes out to your brother as well."
"Nicky, no cussing. Anyways, tell the court where I was on the day she she was nearly killed?"
"You were in our house, on the futon, treating Leen's wounds."
"And did you see any chance of me having a blood drentched knife?" Rapp had his palms on the stand.
"No."
"Thank you, I rest. Your turn, Mullen." Rapp sat down.
"I have no questions for the witness."
"Probably because it's not 'Leen'." Rapp murmured.
Mullen growled angrily, as Nicky raised himself, and made a thumbs up to Rapp, who made one right back at him. A smile appeared on his face, as Mullen stood, surprising the young boy.
"Your honor, I want to call the witness, Leen Elencia to the stand."
Rapp's amber eyes widened, and turned to see Leen sitting there, her eyes just as wide as his. She slowly stood up, and headed over to the stand and got the same thing about the bible like Nicky. Then, after she sat down, Mullen faced her directly.
"Leen, what were you doing on the night that you were attacked?"
"C-Coming home from work."
"And who did you fear was there?"
"......"
'Leen, he's playing games with you, just say it was him. NOW!!' Rapp looked worried.
"Come, Leen, who was at your house, awaiting you for the jump? Tell the court." Mullen smiled. 'She's falling right into my hands. She's so afraid, that she wouldn't dare go against me.'
"...It...It...It..." Leen felt the tears.
"Leen...." Rapp whispered.
"It....was..."
"Come on, Miss Elencia, answer the question."
"...It...IT WAS MULLEN!!" She screamed, making the blonde back away, "Mullen did all of it to me, just as Rapp said. He nearly killed me, and put me through abuse. I say it to you now, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Rapp has been arrested for a false crime, he is innocent." Leen announced, feeling a load off her chest.
Leen lifted herself from the witness stand, and went back to the benches, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Feena sat next to her, and wrapped her into her waiting arms. Mullen growled, and sat himself down. Minutes later, the jury went into the back, and began to talk to each other, and then they came out, a beautiful purple haired woman as the lead jury member.
"Jury, have we reached a verdict?"
"Yes, your honor, we find the defendent, Rapp Istegen, Not guilty, but Mullen is guilty of the crimes that Mr. Istegen was charged for. We find Mullen Garlyle guilty." The woman replied.
"Alright, Rapp, you are free to go, while Mullen will be sentenced into the life in prison. The court is adjourned." Judge Gadwin slammed his gravel.
As three of the police began to surround the older man, he grabbed one by the collar, and pulled out a gun, firing it, hitting Rapp in the shoulder. They dragged Mullen out of the room, snatching the gun out of his hands, as Leen ran over to the older boy, laying her hands on his shoulder.
"Rapp, are you alright?" Leen laid her hands around his neck.
"I think...I need to pass out for a while..." Rapp felt his grip on his shoulder go numb, as he fell over, falling onto Leen's lap.
"Oh my god!!! Help!! Rapp's in trouble!!"
