Life doesn't promise a bed of roses
Or white knights
Fields of emotions I'm trapped in darkness
Why me
Save me
To win this twisted war inside me
Won't justify the pain
Life doesn't promise a bed of roses

Lightening strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me to be strong
I'm floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?

They paint a picture of perfect nowhere blue skies
Within every lie there's a web of comfort
For them
Not me
To win this twisted war inside me
Won't justify the pain
They paint you a picture of perfect nowhere

I said now
Lightening strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me to be strong
I'm floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?

Where do we go from here?
I wish I would disappear
I'm a lonely soul
So far from home

Chapter Five - Of fooling around, arguments and a surprise visitor.

"Come back here you big baby!" Lilly's voice rang out through his rooms, he could here her laughing. He pressed his fingers to his eyebrow, and winced. The cuts his father had lavishly dolled out with his silver boot clasp had stubbornly refused to heal, even a week after the incident.

Thus prompting Lily's maternal urge to arise and smothering him with motherly instincts, and she insisted upon playing the role of nurse. He was not letting her anywhere near him again, with a bottle of antiseptic lotion.

"Remus in the grand scheme of things this pain is nothing if you consider what half brained schemes Sirius manages to help you all cock up on a regular basis." She laughed again. "Your not such a big bad marauder now are you?" He smiled, it was her seventeenth birthday tomorrow and she had been in a feisty mood all week.

"Remus my love, come out, come out, where ever you are!" She giggled, drawing nearer to his bedroom. "You can run Moony but you can't hide." She said softly under her breath. He could hear her drawing closer to the door; he pulled out his wand and quickly rapped the top of his head, effectively camouflaging him.

He watched in amusement when she pushed open the door and jumped into the room. He could have sworn that at that moment she looked like a Lioness going in for the kill, her red hair shaping her face like a mane and her green eyes glittering in the shadows like emeralds.

"Remmy." She looked a round the room, her eyes glittering suddenly with tears. She pouted. "Your no fun." She shook her head and sniffed slightly. Remus smiled and thought that she would be more convincing if her pout stopped quivering into a slight smile.

He tiptoed across the room and slammed the door hoping to scare her. She looked at in nonplussed. "You know that exorcist moment would have been more convincing had I actually been a muggle. I must remember to try that on Petunia sometime." She narrowed her eyes but then smiled widely and sat on his bed, rubbing the cover suggestively in between her fingers. He shivered, slightly and his pulse began to beat faster.

"Well I daresay you've got me where you've always wanted me. Am I in the right position for you Remmy?" She asked huskily batting her eyelids.

"No he bloody well has not!" A mans voice boomed from the doorway. Lily's smile became wider, as Remus paled considerably.

"Dad!" She shrieked jumping off of the bed and hugging him tightly.

Her father had managed to come home for Lily's birthday after all but he could have picked a better time to visit Remus.

"And she was sitting on his bed, as bold as brass fingering his quilt cover." Ben said indignantly, "And the boy was nowhere to be seen, and then if you please, she jumps up from the bed and embraces me as if nothing untoward was happening, and then he suddenly appears next to me. I tell you anything could have happened! I almost had a heart attack! He was invisible!" He ranted to his wife in the kitchen.

She smiled slightly. "Ben darling, she'll be a grown woman tomorrow, let her be, don't you trust in your daughters judgement? I think you've forgotten how it was when we were first in love. They won't openly admit it yet, but what goes on behind closed doors is their affair. I trust them both not to get too carried away." She said quietly.

"But… but!" He spluttered and she smiled widely remembering how adorable he became when properly incensed.

"No Ben, that cottage is his home, Remus pays us rent. You should never have strolled in freely, and like I said what happens behind closed doors is none of our affair." She placed a finger on his lips to silence him. "Now darling, you haven't given me a proper greeting yet. Where's my kiss?" Her ploy worked and she successfully diverted his attention.

"He's going to kill me." Remus said quietly, "Oh Lily, he couldn't have picked a better time if he tried!" She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"Why? Were you about to have your wicked way with me?" She asked nibbling his earlobe he pulled away blushing furiously.

"No I was not!" Remus trilled indignantly, "That's no what I meant and you know it! He'll think we've… that we're in a…" He shook his head trying to find the right words.

"A sexual relationship?" She offered bluntly. He blushed again and turned away. "Oh honestly Remus, is the thought of having sex with me that vile?" She asked again lightly trying not to get angry.

"No! Yes! No, I mean, I don't want him thinking that of us!" She rolled her eyes.

"If it's any consolation I wouldn't have let you get that far anyway!" She snapped, "I'm not a whore Remus, and having sex is not high on my agenda, so don't you dare think I'm that easy!" She shouted. He shook his head in disbelief.

"You don't understand!" He said equally as angry, she was forgetting who he was, and always would be.

"What's there to understand Remus? You don't like the thought of being involved with me intimately; you think that my fooling around on the bed was a definite sign that I would shag you! You don't believe I have self-controle! So what am I, by your description I'm no better than a slut! I'll have you know now that I'm saving myself until my wedding night!" She shouted poking him in the chest. He grabbed her hands and stared pointedly at her dangerously twinkling emerald eyes with his matching flaming amber orbs.

"Good! Because you're forgetting one thing Lily! A werewolf mates for life so there can't be any fooling around on or in a bed, until the wedding night." He roared.

She blinked in comprehension. "Oh God." She blinked around dazed, "I forgot Remus. I'm so sorry, I didn't think." This time she began to cry in earnest. He pulled her into his embrace and held her. "It's okay, everyone forgets, but I can't. It's who I am." He whispered into her hair.

At the time of their argument, unfortunately for Remus, a rather protective dad sat under the cottage living room window listening to the exchange with rapid curiosity. His wife crept next to him, she was livid.

"What the hell do you think your doing Ben?" She whispered furiously. "What did I tell you about closed doors?" She asked angrily. He smirked in a self-satisfied way which made her bloody boil.

"That what happens behind closed doors is none of our affair, but you didn't mention anything about open windows, and it's not my fault that they didn't think to close it." He smirked again. "I couldn't help but overhear, what with their shouting so I thought being the caring, protective father that I am, that I should come here promptly and investigate."

"Oh honestly Remus, is the thought of having sex with me that vile?" They winced as they heard their daughters words float from the room, tinged with barely controlled anger.

"Oh boy. Lily's about to explode." Her father said brushing the subject of the matter away from his comprehension, he had heard far worse things said in the army over the years, and he had taken into consideration that Lily was not his little girl any longer.

"Come on Ben! This is none of our business!" Rose hissed poking him in the ribs. He shooed her hands away. "No I wonder what comeback he'll have to placate her, this is better than those soaps you watch regularly." He craned his neck towards the window.

"No! Yes! No, I mean, I don't want him thinking that of us!"

Remus's voice floated uncertainly from the room. Rose winced in sympathy for her daughter but Ben laughed quietly. "I'm a born and bred army man, what else would I think about my little girls boyfriend. Did he really want me to believe that they were just studying? She was, after all, sitting on his bed." He murmured to himself, Rose nudged him in the side.

"If it's any consolation I wouldn't have let you get that far anyway!"

Ben blinked at his daughter's words and smiled at his wife. "You raised two beautifully intelligent girls Rosy, you were right. Lily's not naive." He said in admiration.

"I'm not a whore Remus, and having sex is not high on my agenda, so don't you dare think I'm that easy!"

Ben shook his head at the words his daughter just shouted, his smile dropped. "He doesn't, does he?" He asked his voice tinged with anger, Rose shook her head. "Of course not. Lily's just upset." She whispered and he nodded in comprehension.

"You don't understand!"

Remus's voice boomed through the window. Rose winced and Ben became angry. "Tell me he did not just shout at my daughter? In our own home?"

She shook her head. "Calm down Ben! It'll do no good if you interfere they're quarrelling, they will shout, Remus is as highly strung as Lily at this moment." She rubbed his arm gently. "Come on darling, let's leave them to duke it out! It'll all be water under the bridge tomorrow. They'll kiss and make up!" She tried unsuccessfully to pull him away. "There will be no kissing under the roof of my house!" He ground out through his teeth.

Ben gave the thumbs up sign to his wife and punched the air quickly whooping under his breath, "You go sweetheart!" He said in admiration of his youngest child. His wife smiled. "Can we go now? He's not about to taint her virtue and even if he wanted to, she wouldn't let him. They're both sensible adults now and they should be treated as such!" She whispered hotly. "This is as bad as reading her diary Ben!"

He nodded and coincided. At least he knew his daughter had more sense than to be seduced by a young hormonal ridden boy. He walked back to the house with a spring in his step and Rose stayed standing near the window admiring the view of his retreating form for a few moments. Satisfied that her husband knew that the young man she loved like a son wouldn't take advantage of their youngest daughter she made a bid to walk back up to the house and join him, however what she heard next revived her from her daydream with a start.

"Good! Because you're forgetting one thing Lily! A werewolf mates for life so there can't be any fooling around on or in a bed, until the wedding night."

She then realised the gravity of the situation, and was forever thankful that Ben had cleared off, and had not heard the young mans angry bellow. She needed to tell Ben the truth, he deserved to know.

She walked back to the house, and in the distance the wind still carried her daughters anguished weeping, she would not be surprised if the roaring wind carried the sound for miles up into the mountains and to God himself.

End of Ch5

Oh God! I am so sorry that this took so long. I was toying with several different plotlines to travel down, and I think I've finally decided, so I should update more. I hope you liked this chapter and I promise to update more frequently. It is safe to say that I am over my writer' block.

So cheers for all of your reviews!
You Rock!

Special Thanks: -

PaarsKonijn: - Not many people do like original characters, I don't really, but in my muses I try to write at least one into each fanfiction I write. She might crop back up again, but I can't be too sure about that. Thanks for your review!

George the Leprechaun: - Thank you (blushes) I was a bit nervous about that last chapter.

Liv: - Yes... lol she does have a naughty side, especially where Remus is concerned! I'm glad you liked the cottage, I agonized over that part of the chapter, it had to be perfect (or near to anyway!) James may very well pick a fight with Remus, you'll have to wait and see. Thank you for your wonderful review :-)
