Last time-
Now that Evi was laying down and in considerably less pain she could offer Kai a real smile, the kind the reached her beautiful purple-blue eyes and made them twinkle. "Thanks Kai." Kai gave her a soft smile before directing his gaze to Tala. Tala gave him a swift nod. "I'll come and see how you are tomorrow Evlin." Kai turned and headed to the door. Once he was in the hall he reached behind him, when his hand grasped the cold steel of the door handle he pulled the door close with a soft click.

Chapter 14
A deserving ending and a new beginning.
Part 1
--------
Tala sat on the uncomfortable hospital chair that was positioned beside the white bed that Evi lay on. Neither spoke but the silence held a comfortable, caring, tenderness to it. Neither knew what to say to break the silence but neither really cared. They could sit like this forever.
After a while Tala decided to break the silence with something that had been weighing on his mind ever since he had come home. "Why are you with him?"
'Ah shit' was what Evi wanted to say. There was no way she wanted to get into this conversation especially now and not with Tala. Lets see, why was she with Chase? Well to start off with he was nice and he was there when she needed someone. He called when he said he would call, he respected her, he had never forced himself on her and she genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. But the only thing she could really come up with was that he was nice. So that is what she told him.
"He is nice to me." The blank look she got from Tala told her that that wasn't the right answer. But what was she meant to say? That she loved him? What was the point in that, she didn't love him, well she didn't think she did anyway. If Evi actually put her mind to it she realised she wasn't even really sexually attracted to Chase, he was just safe. He made her feel wanted and special, he put a little more sparkle into every day. But of course none of that would placate Tala.
"Look, I don't know alright. He asked me out and I said yes…. When this was all started, when he……" Evi hated explaining herself to people. Especially Tala, he was just so perfect he made her feel like she would never live up to his expectations he had for her. "He helped me when it first happened." Tala watched her from where he sat, mulling over what Evi had just said.
"So you're going out with him because you feel obligated to?" Then something else came to the front of Tala's thoughts. Hang on, when it first happened? "Has this happened before?" his voice was filled with shocked disbelief. Evi looked away then nodded.
She was so ashamed she didn't know where to look, anywhere but Tala was a good start though.
"Evi look at me." Evi shook her head.
"Evi." Tala was now standing beside the bed. Evi jumped when his cool hand touched hers.
"Evlin?" Tala's voice held a pleading note that she couldn't refuse. Letting out a deep breath Evi slowly turned to face Tala. "When did it start?" Evi thought back to the day when her life had changed.
"Three months ago. But he didn't… you know, until the other day." Her voice was soft and shaky, Evi's eyes dropped from Tala's eyes to his large beautiful hand that cased her own smaller one.
"How many time?" Tala's other hand came up from his side and lifted Evi's chin so her eyes met his again. (A/N Ok Tala gets that he only actually raped her once but he is asking how many times she was assaulted.)
"I don't know." Evi said shaking her head though her eyes never left his. "Too many times." Big clear salty tears streamed down Evi's soft cheeks, it broke Tala's heart to see Evi even remotely upset so seeing her like this was absolutely devastating. He lowered his face to her, placing a soft kiss on her pouty soft lips. Evi drew in a shaky breath before she bought her hand that wasn't being held by Tala's up to cup the back of his neck pulling him closer to her.
--------
Time passed slowly until the faithful day when revenge was finally served.
Tala and Kai stood, leaning against a slightly out dated Toyota Corolla waiting for a certain teacher to exit the school on his way home.
Conner's was a week away from retirement and was very pleased with himself. He had finally gotten to do what he had always wanted to do and now he had one week left and then it was all over and there was nothing that little bitch could do.
He was lost in his own happy thoughts as he wondered towards his car so didn't see the two males waiting for him.
By the time he realised what was going on he was nearly on top of them. He turned to make a quick exit away from Tala and Kai but was confronted with Bryan and Spencer.
"I think it's time we have a little talk." Tala said, stepping up beside him and grabbing his elbow. "Get in the car."
--------
"W-what are you going to do to me?" Conners managed to stutter as he looked around at the four very well built teens.
Kai took his eyes off the road. Glancing in the rear-vision mirror a small smirk graced his lips. "Bryan, shut him up."
"With pleasure."
--------
The car came to a stop in a secluded patch of woods half an hour out of town. The four doors were thrown open and four strong young men stepped out of the car looking calm and collected, just like any other day. "Get out." Spencer snapped. Reaching into the car and pulling the fifth man out by the collar. Instead of letting the man regain his footing, as soon as he was out of the car he was thrown to the rocky hard ground. The four young men stood around the pathetic figure sprawled on the ground.
Tala looked down at the so called man who had hurt his Evlin, what kind of pathetic man had to rape a defenceless seventeen year old girl. The answer was right before him cowering on the ground. An evil smirk tugged across his lips as his turquoise eyes darkened to a stormy grey.
Smack!
There was a loud crack as Tala's boot connected with the mans ribs, braking several of them with one kick. Conner's groaned and tried to sit up.
"W-what are going to do to me?" the pathetic figure dared to speak again. The man was a sweaty mess. His skin had become a pasty off white colour and he looked as if he was about to be ill. Looking down at the man Tala felt an empowering sense of satisfaction.
--------
Over the past three months Evi had started to open up to people again even to the point where she was ready to re evaluate her relationship with Chase. She had finally started to feel like she was a person again. Having her boys around her really helped, each of them in their own way had helped her. Tala talked to her when she was down and did some major ego boosting, Kai made her have fun, things that would be normal for most people they found hilarious. They did things like going to the movies or went skating which was something that Evi really enjoyed because though Kai did know who to skate he was still a little shaky at times and watching the normally cool and composed Kai try to skate had its moments. Bryan would just sit with her and envelop her in a huge bear hug. The two of them could spend hours just sitting together staring into space. Then there was Spencer, it was odd, Evi wasn't really sure what Spencer did for her exactly. Actually she did know, Spencer did a bit of everything- boosted her ego, made her laugh and sat with her in silence, the all rounder, that was her Spencer.
She did like Chase, really she did but he just wasn't Tala. The two of them hadn't officially called the relationship off but they weren't really 'together'. Evi knew that Chase hoped things would get better with time as she moved on from her ordeal but the truth of the matter was things had gone stale.
Evi pulled out her phone and called his number. When he picked up she got right to the point. "Chase I need to talk to you, can you come over please?" there was silence on the other end for a moment before a sigh was heard. "I'll be over in half an hour."
--------
"Do you know who to make a body disappear?" Kai smirked down at the cowering man. A small whimper escaped the mans mouth. Tala laughed with an evil smile. He pulled a Tazor out from where it had been resting at the small of his back.
"Should we let him run?"
"Tala just stun gun him already." Kai looked across at Tala, he knew that his request wasn't going to be met and the guy was going to die of a heart attack before they even got a chance to rough him up a little. "Nah, I want him to know what it feels like to be truly terrified. He needs to know that he can't get away with what he did to Evlin." Tala looked down at Conners once more. "It really would be more fun if you ran."
"Tala." Kai warned. "Fine, Spencer do your thing. But first I need you to do something for me. Bryan go and get his bag from the car."
--------
Evi opened the door for Chase. After an kiss on the cheek that was more out of habit than anything the two went to sit in the living room. They were the only two people in the house so they could talk where ever they liked.
They sat opposite each other, there was the sound of fabric on fabric then nothing. Neither really wanted to address what they both knew was coming but it had to be done.
"Chase," Evi needed to get this over and done with before she lost her nerve. Chase was a great guy but he wasn't the guy for her. She had tried to make herself believe that he was but she couldn't. "We need to talk."
"I know, you're leaving me for Kai." An outburst of laughter was the answer to his statement. "Kai?" Evi managed to choke after she regained her composure. "Yeah, I've seen the two of you at school together, he is always with you and you are always hanging off of him." Chase looked slightly confused.
"I'm not leaving you for Kai, we're just friends, he just looks after me. But I am breaking up with you. We just don't work anymore. I've tried to make things work but it won't, it's better that it ends now than we delude ourselves isn't it?" Chase was silent. He hadn't really thought their relationship was this far gone but if that was what Evi thought he wasn't going to try and change her mind even though his heart was breaking. He did after all love the girl sitting before him. He had never said it out loud of course, but now thinking back maybe if he had they wouldn't be sitting her now. Or if they were she would be sitting on the same couch as him and they would be cuddled up together watching a movie or something. "If that's how you feel then there isn't really anything I can say is there?" Chase dug in his pocket looking for his keys. Evi had an overwhelming desire to beg him to stay but she didn't. "Chase its not you, I can't be with anyone right now." Chase didn't answer, instead he stood and headed to the door. When he reached the hall though, he stopped and tuned back. "I'll see you at school Evi."
"Bye."
--------
BANG
"Sign it or I'll shoot you other knee. Conners lay writhing as his own blood as it began to pool around him. "No." his voice was faint from the pain.
BANG
"Sign the papers, I've run out of knees so guess what is coming next." If it was at all possible Conners turned and even pastier shade of grey. "I though you would understand. So are you going to sign?" The mans head nodded emphatically and he scribbled his name furiously on the papers that were held infront of him. "Good. Kai do you want to do the honours?" Kai looked across at Tala, he was really getting a kick out of this. They all were. Out of all the people they had killed Conners was the first that had actually done something to one of them, Evi was one of them and she deserved so much better than what this prick had done to her. "No, he's all yours." Kai offer Tala one of his rear true smiles.
"It is you're day of reckoning and you have been found wanting." Tala aimed the gun between Conners' eyes.
BANG- BANG

Three years later.
Lillies, that was what her mother had said they were called when she had asked. Lillies. It was a funny name to her but probably only because it was a foreign word to her limited vocabulary, after all she was only two.
The little girl with blood red ringlets stood quietly beside her mother watching as her father walked up to the marble headstone. This morning she had been told that today she was going to see meet grandmother but this wasn't what the two year old had expected.
Tala knelt down infront of his mothers headstone and ran his fingers over the engraved words.
Beloved wife, mother and daughter
Forever, will be sorely missed
Until we meet again.
Tala smiled as a silent tear ran down his pail cheek but he made no move to wipe it away. This was the first time he had visited his mothers grave in all the time he had been back. He hadn't been ready to come here before now but now that he had his own family and a new and happy life old ghosts had to be laid to rest. He stood and walked back to the two figures waiting several metres away.
Evi smiled at Tala as he came and stood beside her. "I love you Tala." She pulled him to her and gave him a lingering kiss. The little girl beside her busy looking at the flowers. Tala placed a kiss on Evi forehead. "I love you too, more than you could ever imagine." He knelt down infront of his daughter. "So Blue are you ready to meet your grandmother?" Blue looked up at her father with a broad smile. But then her expression changed. "Don't be sad daddy there's no need to cry." A small podgy hand reached out and rubbed his cheek.
"I'm not sad sweetie, c'mon." Tala stood, reaching down with one hand he took the hand of his daughter, then with the other he took Evi's. the three walked towards the grave of the person who brought them to where they were today. So many things had happened over the past four years. Boris, the Abbey, the escape and so on but now it was all over. It was time to start again.
THE BEGINNING.
--------
That was the end. I hope you all enjoyed the story. I know the story could have gone so many different ways but I decided to keep to the basic story line I had in my head instead of going off into other relationships and what not.
Please review.
I'm working on a couple of new stories at the moment and they should be up in a few months but until then I am still updating I am what I am and the best part of me is you I may even update better than this and my biggest mistake if I get the time to work on them.
I would like to thank everyone who has reviewed this story along the way it means the world to me and I love that you guys like my work. You all have been my inspiration.
Infinite x's and o's
