Sirius felt his heart sink when he heard Remus' words. Somewhere under all of the panic he was happy that Remus was willing to sacrifice himself to help him, knowing it was the closest to a love confession he'd received from the other boy. He was also relieved that the knife had been removed from his shoulder, but as the older man turned his attention to Remus, Sirius felt himself begin to panic.

"No! Get away from him!" Sirius shouted, desperate to distract him, "You call that torture? That was pathetic! Get back over here!"

Greyback chuckled and looked back at Sirius for a moment, then to Remus.

"How rare. Here I have the both of you begging for my attention." He said with dark amusement in his voice.

Ignoring Sirius' continued insults he moved over to Remus, leaning over and bringing his lips to the boy's sensitive ear.

"You're going to do everything I tell you. Do you understand? If you resist me at all, Sirius will die. And I'll be sure that it's nice and slow." Greyback felt another jolt of arousal as Remus shivered in fear. "Are you going to behave?"

There was a long pause as Remus considered his situation. He could hear Sirius shouting behind the wall that was Greyback's body.

"Get away from him! Remus, don't listen to him, don't agree to anything! This piece of shit is trying to manipulate you!" His voice was cracking uncharacteristically.

Apparently tired of listening to Sirius' shouting, Greyback crossed the distance between the boys in two easy strides, bringing a fist down against Sirius's cheek.

"No!" Remus screamed as he heard the thud of fist against bone. "Stop it! I'll do what you say, just stop it!"

Remus was shaking, but knew that this was a small price to pay for Sirius' safety. He tried to ease his nerves by reminding himself that he had been at Greyback's mercy for years already. He would just have to put his heart back into that lonely, safe place where it was protected from everyone else. As Greyback's dark eyes moved to him, however, he wondered if he still had the power to do such a thing.

He was shocked that he was only just realizing how much Sirius had changed him. Jona had shown him what it felt like to be cared for, but Sirius had done something that Jona never could; He made him believe that he was worth caring for. But he also showed him what it meant to care about someone else, to want to do everything within his power to keep someone else safe. And so now he would lock his heart away again in order to save the boy that he loved.

"I'll do everything you say, Fenrir. I'm sorry."

Greyback recognized the submissive tone in the boy's voice and grinned as he turned his attention back to him. He now saw the obedient boy that he was used to, the irritating glow in his downcast eyes now gone, leaving them dull and brown and perfect. They were the eyes of someone who had given up the fight.

Spitting the blood from his split lip into the leaves, Sirius watched Greyback move back toward Remus. He could hear the sirens very clearly now, and was sure they were at the school. They had to stall Greyback for as long possible. He had faith that James' sharp intellect would lead him to where they were. That hope seemed to be dwindling, though, as Greyback cut the ropes binding Remus' hands and ordered him to stand. Remus did so without question.

"Now lets see if you were telling the truth." he said quietly, "Strip."

Remus felt his body stiffen as he received his orders, but even as he heard Sirius shout "Don't you dare!", he obeyed. He was ashamed of himself as he removed the clothing that James had let him borrow, but he ignored Sirius' continued shouting. He had made up his mind.

As he dropped the last piece of clothing to the forest floor he wanted to look over at Sirius, wanted to tell him that this was nothing to worry about, but knew that giving his attention to anyone but Greyback right now would infuriate the man, and so he opted to watch the leaves by the dog shelter instead. He saw the man's feet come into view and didn't have to look at his face to know that his teeth were bared in a wicked grin that promised humiliation and pain.

Greyback approached the now bared body, his fingers reaching out to touch his own name which was carved into the boys chest with a sort of reverence. Knowing that this boy was marked as his property in a way that anyone could see made him painfully hard, and the sound of Sirius protesting mere yards away seemed to only add fuel to fire of his lust. He'd always wanted to have an audience. He would hurt both of these boys in one fell swoop. With his fingers tracing the scars on his chest, he ducked his head to brush this tongue over Remus' lips. It was subtle, but he felt those lips tighten just slightly, and he recognized it as rebellion. He really did have a lot of retraining to do. A sharp pull to the hair at the back of his head, however, forced his mouth open in a gasp of pain.

"Keep your mouth open, Remus." He growled dangerously.

Remus only hesitated a moment before he did as he was told. He was left to stand there, his mouth open like an invitation, for a few humiliating moments before Greyback chuckled, obviously pleased, and slid his tongue into that waiting vestibule. The urge to gag was overpowering as Remus felt the slimy tongue exploring his mouth. This was not unusual for Greyback to do, but after feeling the warm, comforting, soul-searing experience of kissing Sirius, Remus found this to be cold and sticky and nauseating. They could both here Sirius thrashing against his bonds, the sound of dead leaves being crushed by his flailing legs making Remus feel filthy. He hated that there was no way to win in this situation. If he did not obey Fenrir, Sirius would be hurt, or even killed. But he knew the pain that he was causing Sirius by obeying. Maybe he was just being selfish. He knew that he could not bear to see Sirius tortured the way he had been.

Greyback could feel Remus' disgust, and it left him feeling painfully hard. He was no longer thinking of the sirens that could be heard so clearly from the other side of the trees that protected them, or about the plans he'd made to silence the boys. He was lost in the smell and taste of Remus, of his beloved pet. His mouth moved to the boy's neck, and he felt another jolt of pleasure as Remus tilted his head complaisantly, exposing his vulnerable places like a submissive dog. He knew that he would destroy this boy before giving him to anyone else.

As Remus turned his head, remaining docile, the way Fenrir wanted, he locked eyes with Sirius. He had never seen tears in his grey eyes before, and felt strangely flattered that the other boy's face was now wet with them for his sake.

It's okay. Remus mouthed silently at the other boy, who was either excellent at reading lips, or connected to Remus on some deeper level.

Sirius' eyes seemed to dry a little as he watched Remus' mouth more closely, his kiss swollen lips continuing to form silent words.

The rope, he mouthed, trying to motion with his eyes, You can untie the rope!

Sirius' eyes widened when he recalled that Remus was the one who had tied his wrists. He must have left some way for him to get loose. His attempts to communicate with Sirius were interrupted as Greyback's hand suddenly yanked him back into a deep kiss, guiding him by a fistful of hair.

Attempting to ignore the sight in front of him, Sirius' fingers tried desperately to work the knot loose, which he realized had probably been tightened by his struggling. While Remus remained docile, Greyback could sense the emotional barrier that he'd put up, and could feel the resistance in his body, which caused jealousy to rip through him.

Tearing his mouth from the boy's, he used his hold in the tawny hair to yank Remus nearly off his feet, dragging him toward the dog shelter before pushing him onto the flat roof.

"You little slut!" Greyback snarled at him, slapping him hard across the face, causing him to fall back to his elbow with a yelp. "I can practically taste that fucking Black boy in your god damned mouth! Have you let him fuck you yet?" He ground out through his teeth, yanking Remus' hair back again. "Have you sucked his dick? You're like a fucking dog in heat! Lean back! Spread your fucking legs!"

Remus could feel the bruises rising in every spot that Greyback pushed, yanked, and shoved, forcing him back onto the roof, one hand on the side of his head holding him down while the other pushed his legs apart. Greyback seemed to not notice how strangely quiet Sirius was being, the other boy now concentrating on the knot holding his wrists together.

"Keep them spread like that." Fenrir ordered as he let go of his head. "If you try to close them, Black dies."

"Yessir." Remus said quietly, knowing better than to fight him as he pulled his knife out again, wiping the rest of Sirius' blood on his bare leg.

Remus wished that he could still see Sirius from where he was laying back on the dog shelter, but Fenrir's broad chest was blocking his vision. He tensed as he felt the tip of the blade come to the sensitive skin of his inner thigh, to a place of smooth tissue that had not yet been defiled. His legs shook violently as he tried to hold them open, his head resting back on the shelter, his eyes closed tightly, not wanting to watch Greyback carve a new word into his already ravaged body. He could feel the man's anger as he pushed the blade deeper than he usually did when marking him. His fingers held onto the edge of the wood he laid on, his mouth clamped shut to muffle the whimpers of pain that he couldn't keep from escaping him.

Finally, Greyback seemed to be finished, leaning back some to admire his handiwork, cleaning the tip of his blade with a quick swipe of his tongue. Forcing the tip into the wood beside Remus so he would not have to hold onto it, he grabbed Remus by his hair again, his other hand taking his knee, pulling the two toward each other so that Remus could see what he'd done. Opening his teary eyes, Remus saw the word "Slut" bleeding on his thigh. He was still shaking and sweating from the pain, and he felt tears spill past his eyelashes, that word seeming to pain him more than the others Greyback had cut into him over the years.

"I hope this will be a reminder to you." Greyback said as he yanked his hair again, as though Remus were a dog and he was going to rub his nose in something. "You belong to me! And anything you did with that fucking boy makes you a slut! You remember that!"

"I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Fenrir." Remus said complaisantly, trying to cool the other man's anger.

"You better be sorry." Greyback snarled, letting go of his hair so that he had a free hand to start undoing his own trousers. "And you're about to get a lot sorrier!"

Remus felt himself sob a little, hating this part more than he ever hated being cut. He screwed his eyes shut as he heard the clinging of Greyback's belt. He could deal with the physical pain of the other things that Greyback did to him, but this always made him feel filthy and helpless. He felt like it damaged something inside of him, something attached to his soul. He was afraid that if the older man did it much more, he wouldn't have anything left to damage.

As angry as he was, Fenrir also found himself excruciatingly hard. Seeing Remus crying underneath him had erased everything from his mind, save for the promise of the sweet feel of his body. If he had been thinking clearly, however, he would have noticed the lack of complaints coming from the other boy, or he would have noticed the rustling of leaves coming from behind him. Instead, he was left helpless as a large stone was brought down over his head. Remus felt Greyback's body collapse on top of him, and over the man's shoulder he saw Sirius standing, a brick sized rock in his hand, staring at the blood saturating Greyback's hair.

Remus had never seen Sirius with such a wild look before. He was staring down at both of them, his eyes wide and hair tousled. He seemed shocked by what he'd done, but after a moment of hesitation he pushed Greyback's limp body off of Remus, pulling him up into a tight hug before Greyback's body even hit the leaf covered ground. The sob that shook Remus surprised even him as he wound his arms tight around Sirius' neck, trying to pull him as close to his body as possible.

"Shhh, Rem. It's alright. I've got you now." Sirius said quietly into Remus' ear, his arms wrapped around his back and waist.

"I'm sorry, Sirius, I'm so sorry!" Remus cried against his neck.

"Don't apologize, Rem." Sirius squeezed him again before pulling back. "Get up. We need to get you dressed and get back to the school."

Keeping an arm around Remus, Sirius helped him over to where he'd left his clothes. His wrists were worn raw from where he'd been struggling against the rope. He had been lucky that he was able to get the knot loosened after he'd pulled it so tight, but Remus had rather ingeniously managed a knot that from a distance looked legitimately strong, but had an end that, when pulled, would destroy the knot's integrity.

Looking back toward the still motionless body laying beside the dog shelter every few seconds, terrified that he would get back up again, Sirius helped Remus dress.

"Everything's gonna be fine now, Remus." He said gently as the other boy finished dressing.

"Stop right there!"

Remus and Sirius both looked over to the opening in the trees that lead to the school and saw three police officers, each pointing a flashlight in their direction, their free hands holding the hilt of what could be a gun or taser.

"Sirius Black and Remus Lupin?" The officer nearest them asked.

"Yes! That's us! Thank god you're here!" Sirius shouted as he took a few quick steps toward them.

"Stay where you are! You're both under arrest for arson." He said, pulling a pair of handcuffs from his belt.

"Wait, you don't understand! We were attacked! This man over here-" Sirius began again, taking another step toward them, his hands up pleadingly.

"I said stay where you are!" The first officer shouted again.

"Sir, we've got a body!" The officer at the left said, his flash light beam falling on Greyback's form.

"Put your hands up!" The head officer ordered again, coming toward them slowly, his flashlight still aimed at Sirius' face.

Sirius felt totally gob smacked. He knew that their situation was going to look bad, but he thought they would at least hear their side of the story. He and Remus both did as they were told, lifting their hands over their shoulders. Sirius tried not to lose his temper as he saw one of the officers grab Remus and roughly force his hands behind his back to cuff him. Sirius didn't fight, but his sore wrists protested angrily.

"Will you ease up? We aren't resisting!" Sirius said angrily.

"With the charges against you right now, young man, I think it's best you keep quiet." The lead officer said.

"Sir, this looks like the teacher that was missing. He's breathing, just unconscious." The last officer said as he made his way back to the others. "I'll call for paramedics."

Sirius and Remus were both handcuffed, and the lead officer was reading them their rights when they heard the sound of leaves rustling in Greyback's direction. Turning, they saw that he was pushing himself to stand, one hand holding his still bleeding head. Both of the boys tried to back away from him, fear starting to build up in them again. One of the officers went to Greyback's side, putting a hand on his shoulder, while the other held onto the boys by their shirts to keep them from going anywhere.

"Sir, you've been injured. You shouldn't move until the paramedics get here." The officer said, trying to get Greyback to sit back down.

"That man tried to kill me and rape Remus! You need to arrest him!" Sirius shouted, trying to pull himself out of the officer's grasp.

"Shut it, you two." The man said, giving them both a shake where he was holding onto their shirts.

Greyback was hobbling toward them now, the other officer holding onto him to keep him balanced. It was hard for Sirius to be sure if it was the way that Greyback was walking, or the looking in his eye, but Sirius seemed to know the man's intentions before he was able to succeed. When he saw his dead, black eyes move to Remus, Sirius thrust his body between them, feeling the blade that Greyback had retrieved from the roof of the shelter sink into his chest as a reward.

While Sirius seemed to fall in slow motion, the police officers seemed to move at an accelerated pace, all three of them working together to force Greyback onto the ground. Sirius felt his legs turn to liquid beneath him as his whole body broke out into a cold sweat. He felt himself slide down Remus' body and was vaguely aware of his name being screamed.

As his eyesight started to come back into focus he found himself on the ground, staring up at Remus who was bent over him, his arms still cuffed behind him and tears on his face, shouting hysterically. He could also vaguely hear the sound of the fight that was still going on between Greyback and the police officers, but it sounded very far away.

"Sirius! Sirius, hold on. You're fine, everything'll be fine, alright?" Remus was babbling.

"S'alright, Rem. C'lm down." Sirius said, not realizing his voice was slurring so much.

His chest was burning, and Sirius could see the handle of the knife sticking from his chest and was finding it increasingly hard to catch his breath. He heard Remus shouting for the police to call the paramedics, but they were still struggling with Greyback, who, even injured, was proving to be very problematic. Sirius opened his mouth to tell Remus that he was alright, not wanting to see him panicking the way he was, but was caught by a coughing fit as his body tried to get rid of the thick red blood that was beginning to take up his lung capacity. He felt some of the viscous stuff speckle his mouth and tried to bring in enough oxygen to keep the darkness that was blocking out his vision from taking over.

"Oh god! Sirius, please! You cant die!" Remus begged, bringing his face down to Sirius'. "You have to roll onto your side!" He said, trying to nudge him over, though with his hands cuffed behind his back he was left helpless. "Somebody help him!" He shouted again.

"Remus…" Sirius managed to croak out, his voice sounding gurgley from the blood in his throat and mouth. "Love you…"

"Sirius! Sirius Black, you open your god damned eyes!" Remus sobbed as he watched the grey orbs disappear under long black eyelashes.

Sirius was relieved as he finally let his eyes close, the struggle of keeping them open being too much for him. Distantly, he thought he heard a loud cracking noise that could have been a gunshot, but it was drown out by the sound of Remus, and for a moment, he thought he heard the other boy tell him that he loved him.

I know this ending may seem depressing, but please continue on to my epilogue! It just might cheer you up!
