She sat there watching her parents fight in the foyer from the top of the stairs. She just wished that it would be over soon and they would get along again. It had been like this for the past two years now Sienna thought and it wouldn't ever get better.

One night during one of their fights she heard the sound of a slap and realized that her father, a respectable doctor, had slapped her mother a fashion designer. Sienna grabbed her backpack and threw some clothes in it and left. She knew that in the morning her mother would make some excuse or lie saying she fell to cover up that her father had hit her.

She didn't know where she was going; all she knew was she didn't want to be there for all the lies. She lived in a gated community in one of the most prominent part of New Salem. She had money and access to it at all times but being sixteen had some drawbacks. Sienna had friends but no one to really help her. She left her car there and walked out of the gate surrounding her home and didn't even look back.

Gambit sat at the bar with Logan playing darts and getting drunk. The bar closed a little after midnight and Gambit decided to walk back to the mansion and let Logan drive back and tell the Prof. that he would be in later. Remy thought it would be best not to come in drunk in front of the students.

Remy started the three-mile walk back home when he heard someone scream. He ran towards the sound and found three guys harassing and trying to rape a girl. He threw a couple of cards at them and finally they left. "Are you okay petite" he asked softly. "I'm fine. They were trying to hurt me but you scared them off." Sienna said while looking at her rescuer.

"What is a young girl like you doing wondering the streets so late at night" he asked her. "I'm just looking for a place to sleep for the night till I can get to the bank in the morning. Do you know of anyplace I can sleep for the night?" she asked. "Sure follow me and you can stay with me." Remy said not even thinking of asking the Professor if she could stay or not.
