Thank you for the reviews. Keep them coming!

A special thank you for Mac1 for helping me out on the AU thing. I saw it in someone's profile and I could not figure it out for the life of me. And to those who wanted me to let them know when I did find out, it's stands for Alternate Universe.


Chapter 12

As Analise lay in bed later she stretched languidly and smiled as she felt the heavy weight of Remus' arm pressing her close. She snuggled in as close to the warmth of his body as she could, feeling utterly at peace with the world. This man is really something special, she thought happily.

She'd never felt like this before. She felt like a complete person with him. Like a part of herself she didn't even know was missing was now back. I feel so....protected, she thought dreamily. Her eyes popped open quickly when a thought suddenly occurred to her. Protected? Oh shit. I forgot to set the Anti-apparation charm to the house. Where's my wand? Oh, that's right, it's downstairs in the livingroom.

Analise disentangled herself from Remus' tender yet firm embrace as quietly as she could and slipped from bed. He stirred, not quite awake but not quite asleep either.

"Where you going?" He mumbled.

"I didn't mean to wake you. I'll be right back." She whispered as she leaned down and kissed him softly.

It was enough to pull Remus from his slumber. He watched her retreating backside walk to the doorway and couldn't help but to whistle appreciatively, he didn't know if she looked better undressed or dressed. She looked good enough to eat in her red silk pajamas. But she is good enough to eat when she's undressed, he thought wickedly. His need rose quickly when she turned to shoot him a wanton smile.

"Hurry back." He growled.

She blew him a kiss from the doorway and disappeared from view. Remus propped his hands under his head as he lay on his back with thoughts of her running rapidly through his mind. She's absolutely fabulous, he thought with contentment. He felt as if he were floating on a cloud. Until, that is, glass breaking downstairs and a scream had him sitting bolt upright in bed and scrambling as quickly as he could to the source.

Analise lit a couple of candles so she could locate her wand as she smiled stupidly and hummed to herself, feeling ridiculously happy. He's the nicest guy I've ever been with.

A motion out of the corner of her eye caught her attention and she found herself searching the darkness fruitlessly. I must be jumpy because I know I didn't set up the protection tonight, she reasoned. She turned around and began searching for her wand again, finally she found it laying on the floor by the front door and she smiled again at the thought of why that's where it was. Remus had taken her again in a fit of raging passion the instant they had walked in the front door. She bent to retrieve it, performed the Anti-Apparation charm and without any other thought than getting back to Remus, she laid her wand down on the kitchen counter so she could hurry back upstairs.

Until she distinctly heard the floor creak behind her. It's not Remus, he's upstairs, she thought frantically. She turned her head imperceptibly to the side and looked at the objects on the end table. There was nothing sharp she could attack with.

Her gaze rested on a glass globe of the world and a thought popped in her head. Acting quickly she turned to grab the globe and screamed as she threw it as hard as she could at the man behind her.

He seemed to be expecting that move though and was ready with a spell to protect himself.

"Diffindo" He cried and laughed cruelly as the globe burst into hundreds of glass shards.

Analise turned to run away in the opposite way of the all the glass, being barefoot she didn't think it wise to try going through it. She was making her way to the front door as fast as she could but his spell caught her in the back.

"Stupefy." He cried and watched with delight as she crumpled to the floor in an unmoving heap.

The noise on the stairs snapped the man out of his sick pleasure and he moved to scoop up the unconscious Analise. He pointed his wand and aimed carefully.

"Dammit Malfoy! Let her go!" Remus roared as he focused on the intruder.

"Impedimenta!" Lucius yelled and cackled again as Remus was slowed to almost a stop. Malfoy opened the door leisurely and when he was on the stoop turned to wave mockingly at Lupin. "Deletrius!" He cried again and watched as his banishing spell prevented Lupin from coming outside.

Malfoy shifted Analise onto his shoulder as he picked his way casually down the walk.

Remus watched helplessly as he watched Malfoy walk away with Analise. He watched until all he could see was her gold necklace winking innocently in the moonlight and then Malfoy Disapparated. Remus let out a loud howl of frustration.

Moving was very difficult with this impediment curse on him but Lupin made it upstairs slowly. He grabbed his wand, conjured a fire and instantly began shouting for Severus.

"Dammit Snape where the hell are you?" Remus said impatiently.

"Snape? For the love of Merlin, get your ass to the fire." Remus all but yelled,

"What is it Lupin? Trouble in lovers paradise."Snape asked as he finally answered the fire..

"Get over to Analise's now." Remus said seriously. "It's Malfoy. He's kid-napped her."

"Shit. I'll be right there." And with a pop Snape was gone.

Remus sank to the bed as fear tore through him. Be strong, love. I'm coming to rescue you.
