A/N: Okay, I had a few of questions come from some people about the last chapter so before I start this one I figured I'd answer them.

1. LycanQueen54 - Michael Manna is Stevie Richards real name. (Hope that helps.)

2. Takerslady - Tyler's going to be here very, very soon thanks to all the help you've given me about him.

3. losingmymind2 - Yes, Rob will be back without a doubt! I'm basically just waiting for him to show up on tv so I can take things from there.

I hope that helps everyone with their questions and if you have anymore just let me know! Now, on to the chapter!

"Lyria? Glenn's on the phone for you." Jim whispered. It was the next morning and she hadn't felt like going out the night before so they just went straight to the hotel and she went right to bed without saying a word to Jim.

"Tell him I'll call him later." She mumbled, her back to him as she laid curled up in a ball on the bed.

"You sure?"

"Yes."

Jim sighed then got up, thankful that the phone had a long cord he walked into the bathroom and shut the door. "Glenn?"

"Yeah?"

"She said that she'd call you back later but...I'm fucking worried about her."

"Why? What happened?" Glenn asked, his voice frantic with concern.

"We've been having some problems with Michael Manna over the past few weeks..."

"Yeah, I heard about that from Mark and Sara."

"Well, last night Andrew Martin informed us that he overheard the motherfucker talking to someone about how he planned on getting Lyria alone and...raping her."

"He WHAT? That fucker! I'll break him in half!" Glenn roared so loud that Jim had to pull the phone away from his ear.

"Jacobs please! It's not him I'm worried about at the minute, it's Lyria."

"What about her?"

"She hasn't been able to fucking look at me since last night and I can feel her pulling away from me." Jim stated and Glenn sighed.

"Not this shit again."

"You were there for the first time?"

"No, Mark told me about it and he said it wasn't easy to get her back because she put up one hell of a fight. How do you know about it anyway?"

"Heyman told me last night, it shocked the hell out of me that I was the cause of it." Jim replied.

"You didn't know so don't blame yourself for it now but...we can fix this."

"How?"

"Get all of her friends there as many as you can and I'll be over soon." Glenn explained.

"All right, I can do that." They said goodbye and after Jim made a few phone calls he walked back out to the bedroom. "Baby?"

"What?"

"You need to get dressed cause we're going to be having company."

"Jim I don't want..."

"I don't care, get up and get dressed." He said, walking over to her.

Illyria growled and got out of bed, throwing on a pair of shorts and a Sandman t-shirt. "There, I'm dressed. Happy now?" Before he could answer her there was a knock on the door and he went over to open it.

"Come on in." Illyria looked up from her position on the bed to see John, Paul, Andrew, Kevin, Glenn, Terry, Tom, Beulah, Charles and Peter all filing in the room.

"Okay...what the hell?" She muttered.

"It's intervention time Little One." Glenn spoke up, walking over to her and pulling her off the bed into a hug. "You're not pulling away from us into your own little world again like you did last time, it's not good for you or anyone else."

"How the hell do you know what's good for me?" Illyria snapped, pulling away from him and moving to the other side of the room. "All of you might as well fucking leave cause you're just wasting your time here."

"Illyria Ann..."

"Fuck off Terry!" She hissed causing everyone in the room to gasp because they had never heard her talk to him of all people like that. "This isn't something you can fix with one of your little 'oh everything will be okay' speeches...the man was going to fucking rape me!"

"Lyria?" A soft male voice spoke up from the corner and everyone watched in shock as Kevin Fertig walked up to her and took her in his arms.

"Get off of me!" She screamed, struggling to get out of his arms but his grip was too strong. "Dammit Kevin let go!"

"No. Let it out Lyria, come on I know you want to." He whispered, holding her tightly as her struggling slowed down at his words. "No one will think you're weak for it because everyone in this room loves you and you know that so just let it go."

Finally his words got through to her and Illyria's body was racked with sobs. "He was going to rape me Kevin."

"Shhh sweetie I know but that's all over now, none of us are going to let him get to you." Kevin soothed, rubbing her back with one hand and stroking his fingers through her hair with the other as she cried.

"You can't..."

"Yes we can and we will." Jim stated, walking over to them.

"Oh Jim!" Illyria exclaimed and once Kevin let her go she flung herself in Jim's arms. "I'm so sorry."

"It's okay baby but will you do me a favor?"

"Anything."

"Look at me, please?" He whispered, his voice cracking with emotion that he didn't show very often and when Illyria looked up at him he sighed in relief. "I love you so much baby."

"I love you too." She responded, moaning softly when he bent his head down and gave her a passionate kiss. When he pulled away her eyes widened in shock at the realization of how she talked to one of her best friends. "Terry!" Illyria moved out of Jim's arms and ran over to him, hugging him tightly.

"Illyria Ann it's all right, I understand."

"I'm sorry anyway and I'm sorry to you too Glenn."

"It's okay Little One. I expected it because Mark told me about the fight you put up the last time." He chuckled and Illyria groaned at the memory.

"He threatened to sit on me until I calmed down!"

"Baby?" Jim spoke up and Illyria turned to him. "I'm sorry I caused that."

"How did you...Paulie!"

"Hey, he wanted to know." Paul said, laughing.

"Doesn't mean you had to tell him." She grumbled, picking up a pillow off the couch and chucking it at his head. "Jim you have to reason to apologize, you didn't know...couldn't have known and you were doing what was best for you at the time."

"Still doesn't make me feel any fucking better about it."

"I'll let you make it up to me later." Illyria winked at him and he chuckled.

"It's good to have you back baby."

"It's good to be back." Before anyone else could say anything there was a knock on the door and she ran over to it. "I've got it." She announced and opened the door, her mouth dropping at who stood in front of her. "Tyler?"
