I know I haven't updated this in forever (again) but i got a few new comment on it on another sight, so if figured if people are accually reading this I might as well finish the next part, there's only one chapter left and I know how it's going to go I just need to get it down on paper. But, non the less, I present you with...Chapter 10


A loud crash from the upper level of the shop woke Benny up from his hazy sleep. He let out a soft groan as he turned over on his bed. Seconds later he was already drifting back to sleep when there was another crash.

This one was different, there was much more force behind it. Benny just pulled his blankets tighter around him but when there was a loud scream not a minute later he sat up, startled. More screams followed, definitely from the same person…a young man. Benny pushed himself out of bed and grabbed his bathrobe. He gawkily shoved his arms through their respective holes in the garment as he tripped over his feet while making his way through his shop.

His hands fumbled, trying to tie the belt around his bathrobe properly as he stomped up the narrow stairs to Remus' apartment. Once he got to the top he rapped his knuckles against the door. The noises had suddenly stopped and there was nothing but silence on the other side of the thin wooden door.

"What's going on in there, Lupin!" Still no answer. "Come on, Remus, open up the door."

He heard the lock slide open and the handle turn. The door was pulled open by a rather irritated looking Remus in nothing but a pair of jeans.

"Stop making so much noise, Remus. Some of us are trying to sleep."

"Sorry, but I'm a little busy right now," Remus spat with his mouth set in a scowl and a sick look in his eyes.

"Remus, what's wrong wi-" Benny was cut off by sporadic coughing coming from inside the apartment. He looked past Remus and saw Sirius slouched against the side of the couch. His shirt was stained with blood; and it was his own. Benny could see blood dripping down from his hair line, as if he had been stricken by something heavy and metal on the top of the head. Benny remembered the second, more forceful crash. Looking closer he could also see a few cut across the boys arms and freshly forming bruises scattering across the reveled portion of his chest and along with his neck.

Benny stumbled backwards down the stairs and into the shop below, where he rushed over to the phone. Picking it up he crouched behind the shop counter, looking around nervously, he dialed 911. As he clutched onto the phone he heard the door from upstairs slam shut. He silently thanked God that Remus had not decided to follow his landlord down stairs, but the feeling of relief that had swelled in his chest quickly dissolved as he heard another scream from Sirius.

As he waited for someone to pick up he remembered what Remus had told him when he was first leasing him the apartment. Just so you know, I have this, how do I put this, I become…dangerous… sometimes.

"911, what's your emergency?" A woman's voice said from the other end of the line. Benny breathed a sigh of relief before telling the woman what had happened and where the police would find them. "Very well," she said. "Stay put and down try to go near this boy."

"Yes. Thank you," he said before setting down the receiver with shaving hands. Another scream came from the upper floor, making Benny flinch with fright. He felt pathetic, cowering out of sight as a teenage boy was beaten just yards away from him. He felt the need to get up and run to the boys rescue but feared too much for his own well-being to move an inch.

As he stayed hunkered down behind the counter, he tried to stop himself from shaking. He thought about what he saw. The boy, bloody and bruised on the floor; it looked like something out of a clichéd horror movie. He thought about the look in Remus' eyes. He had never seen him look like that since he had met the boy, Benny had always thought of him as a quiet, kind, bookish boy who had the knowledge of how to get around in the real world. But he didn't see any of that a few minutes ago. It's like he was a different person.

He wasn't sure if it was sooner or later that the police and ambulance finally showed up, he just knew that he forced himself to stop counting the number of Sirius' screams at about eight for his own mental health.

He pointed from behind the counter to direct a group of medics and police officers up the stairs, although it was quite obvious due to another scream admitted by Sirius. Benny stayed crouched down as he watched the foot of the stairway. After a few moments and what sounded like a gunshot later three police men escorted a struggling, handcuffed Remus out of the building. "It's not fair!" Benny heard Remus yell in a throaty voice once he got outside.

Only once Benny had seen Remus being forced into the police car though the shop's front window was ne able to push himself up and stably stand of his two feet. No soon did he stand than he had to lean back over the counter top for support. He tried to look away, but couldn't as he watched Sirius being carried out by several medics, he was now significantly more bloody and bruised and barely conscious. He was gulping down air as though it was very difficult for him to do so; looking closer, Benny saw a cloth had been placed over Sirius' neck and was already drenched in blood.

"Excuse me?" The voice caused Benny to tear his eyes away from Sirius. He turned to see a police officer with a badge that read 'chief of police'. "Could I ask you some questions about the events of tonight?" The office asked.

"Of course, sir."


So there you have it! Like I said before, I know how I want to do the last chapter but I need motivation, which I would get from feedback from you guys, so please review and all that fun stuff. Thanks!
