"Don't Lose Hope"
Chapter five- 'Setting Sun'Disclaimer: Okay, so we know the drill by now, all the characters, themes Etc… Etc…Etc…all belong to the GREAT J.K Rowling.
The Sun was setting through the view of her bedroom window; it filled the room with shining orange rays. The rays caught her sleeping face; it appeared to be content, as if in a happy dream. There was a slight grin on her face as she breathed in a little rhythm.
Last night had been horrible, he had no clue what her reaction to him would be this morning. She was fragile, and as white as a porcelain doll. He sighed into the night air and left the windowsill to move to the bed, where his reason for living lay sleeping soundly.
Remus was propped up on one elbow, looking down on his sleeping Nymphs form. Taking in every one of her curves, the cute way her lips pouted as she slept and the small snuffling noises she made when she moved. He had missed her, the only thing that kept him going when chained to that wall, was the thoughts of returning to his Nymphadora, the women he loved. It had taken them both so long to finally be together that nothing could keep him form her.She began to stir in her sleep, stretching her arms out and encircling Remus into her arms. He shifted closer to her, and lightly kissed her softly on the forehead. At his gentle touch, she blinked slowly, awakening to the manly aroma of Remus.
Suddenly Tonks knew something was wrong. Her eyes whipped open and next thing she did was elbow the intruder wrapped around her in the gut, gaining a satisfying grunt, as her elbow impacted. The arms around her loosened, giving her the opportunity to roll of the side of her warm bed, crashing into the hard wooden floor.
Not even looking to see whom it was in her bed, she leapt up and in a very un-Tonks fashion and hurdled over the junk that had piled up in her room, landing in a graceful crouch as the adrenaline pumped along her body. The intruder stumbled over the clutter as he tried to reach her. Tonks scanned her messy apartment, trying to locate her wand.
"Nymphadora!" the man rasped out clutching his abdomen in pain. "Please it's me Remus!" Not evening thinking Tonks aimed a sloppy kick, she got her target, she felt slightly please with her self as she felt her foot solidly connecting with Remus's face, this allowed her to finally spot her wand under a pile of dirty stinking washing. Clambering over the empty alcohol bottles she finally gripped the wands smooth wooden handle.
Turning around she pointed it at the intruder, thinking of the worst hex she could muster, as she was in no mood to deal with anybody, especially a stinking death eater.
Remus watched as Nymphadora staggered over the mess in her apartment, almost crashing over in her haste. She turned around and all he saw in her face was true hatred and bitterness and her beautiful face twisted into a nasty snarl. As soon as it appeared, it faded into a face of shock and disbelief and he even saw a flicker of hope in her eyes, but that was soon replaced with months of suspicion.
Tonk's mouth went dry when she saw him, the person she longed so hard for, her soul mate, her lover. But it couldn't be him she scolded herself. "Who the hell are you, and what do you want?" She spat out in absolute fury. If looks could kill, hers would at that very moment.
"Nymph it's me, I'm back Dora." He whispered in a soft and loving voice. "I don't believe you, Remus is dead, how dare you!" She screamed, this was too much for her to bear and the floodgates opened releasing the never-ending tears, which flowed down her pale cheeks, leaving red angry trails. It ripped Remus's heart seeing her like this. Remus took a cautious step forward, and she watched his every move like a hawk, she was after all an Auror, a very emotional and broken one at that.
"Please Nymph, it is me," he felt a tear trickle down his cheek, he needed her so badly. Stepping forward again, she was like a doe caught in headlights. She scrambled up and raced towards the door.
'He can't be Remus, he can't, I can't hurt him, I love him.' Tonks conflicting emotions got the better of her, she knew she could not hurt Remus, even if this was a wolf in disguise. She flung herself at the door, but was tackled to the floor but the intruder posing as Remus.
Remus tackled her onto the floor, terror reflected in those big dark eyes. He pinned her arms above her head gently, as she closed her eyes preparing for the worst. She gulped, expecting pain but felt a gentle hand stroke her cheek. She felt his lips lovingly caress her face, kissing away the tears.
"What do you want with me," Tonks whimpered her tiny body caught under his. "Its me Nymph, believe me, I've been through hell and back so I can be with you" he whispered in her ear. "Remember at the hospital wing when Bill was attacked, you told me you loved me even though I was too old, too poor and too dangerous. You made my heart soar, because someone as beautiful, young and caring as you could ever love an old werewolf that had been rejected from society."
Tonks listened, she could hear her heart beat race at those words, this was Remus. She opened her eyes, which seemed to piece his soul because of the anguish and pain they exhibited. "Where were you?" she whispered hoarsely.
"Hell" was all he said before his mouth was upon hers, coaxing it open, to allow him to explore. He had missed and loved her so much, and he poured it into the heart-searing kiss, as his hands traced tenderly over the malnourished body of his Nymphadora.
He was home, he was with her, and he would never leave again.
