Review Response:
Chica De Los Ojos Café – Here is what he will find. Hope it meets your expectations.
mm4ever2gether – Thanks for reviewing
Elle457 – Slowing things down was totally my goal. Otherwise I thought it would be way to rushed and not tell enough information about how they were adjusting to each other.
Freak87 – No one has seen Remy's eyes and neither of them have their powers yet. The reason behind her covering up is revealed in this chapter. Thanks for the info on the story. It sounds right too me. I hope it gets put back up soon. I wanted to read it again.
FluidDegree - I think chapter makes it obvious what is going on or at least part of it.
RG Marie – Thank you for reviewing. I'm glad you think I'm doing the characters well.

And on with the story.


Remy is standing in his room looking in the mirror. He is dressed only in his boxers leaving his well-defined chest bare.

Tonight is the night. By tomorrow morning Remy will see Belle and everything will be right again. Just going to stop and say good-bye to Anna before I go. She's been a good friend and deserves at least that. Remy almost going to miss her when he's gone.

He glances at the clock and upon seeing that it is already eleven he moves to the closet and pulls out a messenger bag. He tosses this on the bed. He then goes to the dresser pulling out a couple of pairs of clean boxers, multiple shirts in different colors, one of which he pulls on and two pairs of pants. Again he pulls on one of the pairs of pants. He takes the rest of the clothing over to his bag and folds everything so that it will fit. He then returns to the dresser to grab some socks and throws all but one pair in the bag. The last pair he pulls on, lacing his boots up. He then goes to the desk where is trench coat is thrown over the back of the chair. He shrugs this on over his shoulders and surveys the room.

Remy think that is everything. Anything else he can buy when he gets there or else along the way. Probably should leave a note but that will just help them track him down faster. Really is a pity they been real nice to him here. Maybe Remy'll get Anna to come tell then in a couple of days. Yeah that will work.

Checking the clock once again he sees that is has just pasted midnight and is time to go. He walks over to the window with the bag slung over his shoulder. Opening it slowly so as to minimize the noise he pauses to make sure no one has heard him. Slipping his sunglasses on, he climbs onto the windowsill. He throws his bag down to the ground and jumps landing gracefully.

Looking back at the house that has almost been a home, he checks once more for any indication that he has awakened anyone. He then grabs his bag and slings it over his shoulder. Remy then starts down the street moving at and easy pace secure in his feeling that he is in no hurry.

He walks the short distance to Anna's house and stands in front of the building debating which room is likely to be hers.

Which one be hers? Remy expected the light to be on since she stays up nearly every night. Maybe she actually went to sleep tonight. Remy almost feel bad waking her if she is. That girl really needs her sleep. But she would be really hurt if Remy didn't say good-bye. And he just can't wait another night. Remy needs to see Belle too bad.

Seeing a tree leaning over the roof of the porch Remy stashes his bag under a bush and climbs up to the roof. He takes off his sunglasses and places them in a pocket. Using his heightened eyesight he looks into the first window. Seeing a sleeping form in the bed he pauses to get a better look.

This has got to be Anna's room. But something doesn't seem quite right about it. This room doesn't look like a teenager's room. It looks like the master bedroom of the house. Why else would there be two dressers and such a big bed.

He moves his face closer to make sure that it was not Anna laying in the bed for some reason.

This is definitely not the right room. The woman looks nothing like her the face is the wrong shape and her hair is the wrong color and cut. Guess this is her mother's room. Maybe she be adopted like Remy. Remy really knows nothing about the girl's home life. If he had more time he would definitely make sure to learn more about her. Guess Remy will have to try the next window.

He pulls away from the window and moves to the next window. Inside there is an empty bed. The room is decorated with a floral pattern.

Guess this be the guest room. Remy sure hope the last window be hers cause the back of the house not going to be this easy to look in on. Who would have thought it would be this hard to find a friends room. Never had this problem with Belle. Though Belle went out of her way to show Remy which one be hers.

Once again, he pulls away from the window and makes his way along the roof. Approaching the room, he hears some slight sounds coming from the room.

This must be it. Maybe she is having a bad dream. Remy would feel better about waking her up if he got to save her from a bad dream.

"Merde." He whispers under his breathe as he looks into the window.

His eyes are transfixed by the sight within the room. Inside he sees her lying on the bed her body uncovered for the first time. Leaning over her is a large overweight man also naked. He legs are spread and tilted up. The man is pumping himself into her with such violence that the entire bed is shaking.

Utterly disgusted by the sight Remy turns away trying to prevent himself from throwing up. But upon hearing a slight feminine whimper escape from the room he turns back. A look of pain is written across Anna's face.

"Shut up ya worthless bitch." Yells the man as he takes her wrists and restrains them above her head until her hands begin to turn blue.

Taking a closer look at Anna Remy notices scars and bruises covering her arms and chest. While he is taking in the pitiful sight of this girl the man finishes his business. He collapses onto her breathing heavily.

Remy turns his gaze to Anna's face. Her beautiful face is twisted into an expression of pain as silent tears run down her cheeks. Her eyes are dull staring straight ahead as she tries to take her mind off her current situation.

How could anyone do this? How does she put up with this? Maybe this is the first time. Though Remy doubt it. Remy can't leave until he talk to her. He has to make sure she is ok. No one deserves this especially not a girl that sweet. Damn it I just don't understand. Why? Why is he doing this? I could go in their and beat the crap out of him. But would that really make it any better for her? If I beat him up and just left town? It would probably make him more angry. No I'll just wait until he leaves and talk to her. Its better this way.

He glances down at his watch to check the time. Seeing that it is two am he lets out a sigh and sits down next to the window so that he can see the occupants with little movement while staying hidden in the shadows.

After alittle time goes by he hears movement in the room once again and the flick of a lighter. He glances in to see the man has shifted off of Anna and is sitting up next to her. Her eyes are still open but she has a far away look as though she is not really aware of what is happening. Remy watches as the man smokes his cigarette and then as it is almost finished puts it out on her small breast. She lets out a sharp gasp of pain as the burning material touches her skin.

"So ya are awake ya little piece of shit. What did Ah tell you about pretending ta sleep?" With these words he pulls her hair dragging her into a sitting position.

"Ah'm sorry papa it was an accident," is her whispered reply which Remy has to strain his ears to hear.

"Did Ah say ya could talk? Did Ah?"

She shakes her head no.

"Ah didn't think so."

The man then takes her head and shoves it into his crotch. "Ya know what ta do ya pitiful excuse fo' a daughter."

No response comes from the girl as her head begins to move up and down sucking on the man. Periodically the man shoves her head down harder. After about twenty minutes he pulls her off and throws her onto the floor. The sound of her head hitting the floor is horrifyingly loud to Remy's ears. The man then gets off the bed and looks at her laying on the floor.

"Get up ya worthless tramp. Get ya ass back in bed," screams the man.

When she doesn't move he leans down and grabs her arm roughly twisting it behind her back. He leans into her ear and whispers so that Remy can barely make out his words "Ya like doin' this don' ya? Ya little bitch. Get the fuck back in bed."

He then throws her into the bed. Joining her there, he violently spreads her legs and thrusts himself back into her. Once again, he pumps himself vigorously into her body. This time she winces with each thrust of his body. He is pushing her legs farther apart pushing himself as far into her as physically possible.

How long will he keep this up? Its already 4 in the morning. The sun going to be coming up pretty soon. What should Remy do? If he leaves now without talking to Anna he is going to wonder what happens to her. But if he stays much longer they are going to notice he isn't at home and start searching…I can't leave her here without at least finding out if she is ok. If there is anywhere else she can go. She's been too nice for me to do that. Guess its been decided. Remy will wait until five thirty. If he still in their then Remy will stay another day so that he can talk to Anna. Just sneak home should be back by six just in case…Remy just don't understand how anyone would do this to another person. It is just wrong. Didn't think their were people this cruel in the world.

Once again, the man finishes with a shutter and collapses onto the girl. She is pinned beneath his much larger weight unable to move even an inch. After a time the man begins to snore loudly.

Guess tonight is out. There is no way he is going to wake up in the next fifteen minutes. Remy will just have to go home and hope that no one has noticed he is missing.

Having come to his decision Remy shakily gets up and walks to the tree at the other end of the house. He skillfully climbs down utterly preoccupied with what he has just witnessed. He claims his bag from the bush and slowly makes his way to the street. Suddenly he is overcome with nausea as he thinks of what that girl must have gone through to have so many bruises and scars. He stops suddenly and empties the contents of his stomach into a nearby bush. After dry heaving for a time he continues his trek home.

Upon arriving back at his house, he stashes his bag under the stairs and heads in the front door. Once inside he heads up to his room and lies down on the bed.


AN: Its alittle shorter then the others but considering the topic I doubt that anyone would really want me to put in anything more descriptive. I'm sorry if I have upset anyone. Also I apologize for the cliff hangeriness.
