This Silence is Deafening;; - - [ZOEY]

[Hannibal Casry]

It wasn't that bad of a feeling of being left out that he needed his sister to help him get a date. No. He could go out now, as long as he kept himself under control and he would be sure to find someone. He wasn't bad looking, nor did he have a bad personality. He was loveable and nice, and had very good self control. Ian did as he was told and moved the chair a bit so he was sitting closer.

"Alright ma'am." he said, pulling out the pad of paper and smoothly scribbling it down. He gave her an apologetic nod as he turned his attention to the two he'd offered wine for this evening. He hadn't meant to offend the lady, but it happens. The waiter nodded slightly as she said she'd have a glass. He poured the wine in the glass sitting before her. It was enough to allow her to taste the wine before she actually had a full glass of it. The male sitting beside her then said he would like some wine as well. He poured a small amount into Hannibal's glass and then some more after he sampled the wine and showed his approval.

"I'll have the wine as well." he said as Nicky asked if he or Ian would like anything. He liked wine, but didn't drink a lot of it. He only asked for the wine tonight because he recognized the name on the bottle, and knew he had it a few times before. The waiter poured in a small amount and with a careful hand Chad picked up the glass and let the red wine wash over his mouth. After a moment, he nodded and thanked the waiter as he poured more into the glass.

"Umm... No wine, please. I'll have some iced tea, unsweetened." he said calmly as the waiter once again scribbled onto the note pad. Ian's eyes remained focused on the menu before him, not even sparing a glance as the waiter looked back up at him to see if he'd have anything else. He was not going to drink, and that was final. Whenever he drank, drugs were almost sure to follow behind because that was a classic combination, drugs and alcohol. He didn't prefer wine anyway, as wine upset his stomach, especially dry wine such as this. He preferred a simple mixed drink of Jack Daniels and Coca Cola Classic. When it came to drinking.

His fingers calmly stroked her hand after more wine was poured into his glass. He kept her hand in his as a small smile graced his features. He loved her more then anything, but knew what she was thinking. She always thought herself dull compared to him. He didn't see why and hated that she could think of herself that way. In his mind, he was definitely a second to her beauty, not that he would want to be called beautiful, but still. She was gorgeous no matter what she wore or how she looked. He moved close to plant a loving kiss on her lips and then spoke softly. "You look amazing and always will be." he said quietly, letting his fingers trace small, invisible designs on her skin as he moved back to sitting correctly in his seat.


"What are you so bothered by? If I may intrude..." a slightly younger female asked as she too, was fixing her make up. Long blonde hair was neatly curled over her shoulders. When the golden locks weren't curled they fell to the middle of her back as slight waves. She had blue eyes as clear as the bluest skies and a black dress that fit to her body rather well. [i'm not creative right now so here is a picture, that's not the girl, just the dress.] In her hand she held a black mirror that allowed her to see her slightly runny eyeliner that she was trying to fix. On her neck was bruises, about the size of teeth marks, as was there a few cuts on her back, but those were hidden. The marks on her neck had been covered with make up, but in this light they were seen.

Tonight was supposed to be a good night, she was here for her older sister's birthday, and things had been going well until her boyfriend called. She had said she'd wait up for him and told her sister and her friends that they could go; they just had to save two seats. Her sister was cool about it, and said she'd hold the seats... So she waited at the house for Greg.
He was a few years older then her, and quite a bit stronger since she was a very petite girl. He'd come into the house, anger flaring from him as he accused her of cheating on him. His eyes were blood shot and he threw her against a wall, yelling at her and pushing himself against her to keep her from moving away. She hadn't done anything with anyone, only Greg. She was his and no one else was to touch her. Greg made that very obvious quite often, and he'd never let her forget that fact. After he'd forced her into having sex he'd brought her here, and now she was just hiding.

[Zoey]

Becky smiled as Chad deciedied to have some wine. Her eyes looked at Ian and she felt her ehart once again melt. She should not be drinking but it only seemed right for the occasion. Her eyes landed back on the menu as everyone tasted the wine. she then excused herself and was fixing her makeup. Her thoughts were interrupted as a pteite female asked if something was wrong. She frowned. No not really. The woman had bruises and bite makrs and even she could tell under the makeup No im fine, are you ok? she asked as the girl eyes seemed hollow. She looked afraid almost and as if she were going to run at any minute. Becky had quit a clever mind and it was almost crystla clear what had happened to her. Abusive boyfrined. She gave her a sympathetic look Im Becky nicoe to meet you- She put her hand out waiting for the girl to say her name. She was meting new people. That was alawys nice. A grin moved over her face as she looked at her boyfriend. That goof. God she loved him more than anything.

Nicky smiled as he also had wine. She squeezed his hand a bit lookng at Ian as he had iced tea. She tilted her head a smile getting wider on her face. Her son had terrifci willpower. Alright darling hurry back. She said as Becky excused herself. She looked at Hannibla as he whispered in her ear and blushed a bit Not as good as you. She whispered kissing his lips gently then looked at Chad So....this wedding. She said and leaned clsoer to him Your going to let me plan it right? she practically sqealed looking at Chad with such hope. she had always wanted to plan a wedding. Besides her own though. Hannibal had made that one perfect by just showing up! Her eagerness grew as she thought of ideas....

[sorry its short my dog almost died last night..it will be better later today ill post longer sorry, reply and ill do better]

[Hannibal Casry]

"Ehh, my day could be going a lot better... but my boyfriend ruined it for me." he said with a shrug as a nervous hand brushed her long blonde hair forward a bit to hide the bruise on her neck. "He's such an ass sometimes... I don't know why I love him..." she said softly, closing her eyes as not to cry. She didn't want to cry. She cried enough in front of Greg this morning and many days before. She didn't really love him, she just told herself that because he told her that he loved her and she'd always be his. She only knew this in her subconscious mind. Her active mind told her she loved him, and that she always would.

"Pleasure to meet you Becky. I'm Christine." she said, letting her hand reach out to take the other girl's. A small, shy smiled graced her features to reveal the straight white teeth, except for her canine tooth on the top right side of her mouth that was chipped from being hit a few months ago. Her smile faded a bit, as someone knocked on the door. Christine moved back a bit, and her deep blue eyes were very restricted and didn't allow Becky to see the fear that lurked within them, but her actions were enough to say everything.

"What'd yea do in there? Fall in? Everyone is waiting for you..." the male's voice was calm sounding, but Christine was backed to the corner of the wall, her eyes fixed on the door as if she heard the anger that boiled within him. If she was gone too long he always got mad at her, but didn't show it in public. He always took it out on her later.

"Don't make me laugh..." he said with a smile as their lips met for a brief moment. He loved her so much, but he'd never openly admit that he was more handsome then she was beautiful, because well, he wasn't. She stole the light every time and deserved to be in it. She was the most gorgeous thing on the face of this earth. He smiled and laughed softly as Nicky leaned closer to speak to Chad, the eagerness just showing plainly across her features. He knew how badly she wanted to plan the wedding, and tradition was that the bride's family did it.

A soft pink tint graced the male's features as she asked that. "If you would like. I'm not any good with that kind of stuff, and I wouldn't really have any family to help me anyway." he said very softly. Most people made it a big deal to have all their family help out, and have friends come and celebrate along... Chad would have liked that, but was it possible? He didn't have any family. His father left him when he was very, very young and his mother hated him. He had no siblings and the family on his mother's side he didn't speak to. His grandparents lived back home in Germany and he didn't speak to them either. He was alone, well, before he met Becky and her family.

[Zoey]

Becky looked at her as she shook her hand. Christine. She always liked that name. her eyes did travel to look at the bruise on her neck and she felt bad. A pleasure, If hes such an ass why do you keep staying with him? She asked frowning. chad would never hurt her. She could never be with a person who hurt her. she could not love someone liek that. Had this man drilled into this poor womans head that he was the only oen for her. She scoffed to herself then looked over as a male vocie was heard. It seemed calm but Christine backed away as if in fear. She growled. She hated seeing people get pushed around. Especially woman. No matter how handsome a man is he ca never truly be great if he has no respect for anyone.

Don't worry...let me help. She said smiling at the girl. She ahd gone through enough. she sighed and pushed her hand bag at her walking out. She ran into a tall built man and almost fell back. She looked up at him gulping. Ok maybe she was kind of an idiot, but what the hell? Chad was right there if she got in trouble. Look buster I don't know who you think you are but Christine does not need your bull shit. She pokde his chest almost on her tippy toes. Jerkoff. She glared up at him as his brown eyes showed obvious annoyal. She looked at Chad then Ian then shoved the man Back off buster she does not need someone liek you beating ehr like a rag doll. She could do soo much better shes gorgeous and well your jsut fucking rude!

Greg growled tightening his fists. God Damnit Christine. She was socializing. Jealousy was something that got him going very easily. She was his and no one else's Come on already! His voice was a bit harsher this time, showing warning. The door opened and he expected to see his girl when a blonde with gren eyes ran into him. He titled his head looking as she measured him up. He almost wanted to yell boo and see if she would scamper. His eyes brows raised in obvious suprise as she scolded him Look miss- He growled as he was cut off as she spoke again. Anger was another thing that triggered quickly. He looked as she looked at a table. Obviously one was her boyfriend or brother at least. Fine you want to go? He snarled grabing ehr wristas as she shoved him Christine get your ass out here His voice boomed int he resturaunt as he picked up the petite girl throwing her over his shoulder No fucking woman insults me like that. He growled.

Becky yelped as the man grabbed her wrists Let go of me i will fucking kick your ass! She suddnely felt him pick her up as he yelled at Christine Put me down you fucking asshole! she poudned on his back CHAD! She growled anger obviously clear in her voice. No mocho wannabee was going to take her anywhere. she was having a supper with her family and only trying to help this poor woman.

Nicky smiled but turned her head as her daughter stormed out yelling at a very built man. She gripped Hannibals hand God dmanit she ahs to stop stickign up for people...bless her heart. She said it almost in a sarcastic tone and stood as the man threw her over his shoulder PUT MY DAUGHTER DOWN! She yelled her eyes blazing in anger. That fucking bastard.[/b] She growled looking at Hannibal She gets this frmo you i hope you know. She said a teasing tone almost in her voice..[/size]

[Hannibal Casry]

Christine was a coward. She was 18 years of age, and she had good potential and had been told she could get anyone she wanted, but she insisted that she loved Greg, no matter what anyone said. She stayed back in the corner, her words being whispered in a begging tone as she looked at Becky. "No, please. He's not to be messed with, Becky..." she said quietly, tones pleading the newly found girl to leave her out of Christine's problems. She didn't want Greg to hurt her as well... Becky seemed like a stronger, better fit kind of person, but Greg was strong and powerful, he could hurt her just as easily.

Chad was up on his feet faster then Nicky could have even imagined. By time she was yelling to put her daughter down Chad was over there already. "Get your hands off asshole." he growled, anger showing clearly in his eyes as he stopped the man in his tracks and dared him with firm eyes. "I don't know who you think you are, but you'd better put her down this instant." the male said in a very firm and demanding voice. He stood just as tall, but was obviously a lot skinner then the male that held Becky. Chad was a lot skinnier then most men his age, and his height, but he was just as powerful when pissed off as he was.

Christine gasped in horror as Greg pulled her forward by her wrists and yelled for her to get out there. He covered her mouth with her shaking hands as Greg threw Becky over his shoulder and growled that no woman insults him like that. She stepped forward and pushed through the door slowly. Her long black dress fit her figure nicely and the lights in the place showed off the sparkles. "Put her down Greg. Right now..." the young woman's voice was as firm as it would ever be, and although her eyes showed him worry, she did not back down.

"Tell me something I don't know. Each one of them got something from my bad traits." he said with a very soft frown. He knew it wasn't exactly bad traits, but they were traits that got them involved i nthings they shouldn't be involved with, and if one thinks back on his life, he definitly got involved in some very bad shit.

[Zoey]

Becky growled pounding on his back as her hair was in her eyes. She heard her mother and blew on her hair. Greaaaat. Get your hands off of- She looked as Christine walekd out obeying this Greg. God what a jerk. She cursed under her breath. Damnit did he have to pick her up. she hated that more than anything. She ehrad Chads angry voice and looked to see him. His eyes blazed in anger and she kinda felt proud he was her fioncee. Chad- She was cut off as Chrsitine..stuck up for herself. She looked at her oddly and then tilted her head. Maybe she did have some strength in her. She hoped so. The poor girl did not deserve to be hurt. No one did. And thats why she had got into this mess in the first place. A shudder went down her spine. God she only wanted one man to touch her..Chad.

Greg growled starting to the door with the girl on his shoulder when a man, probably her boy, stood in his tracks. He growled leaning in close Make me. He snarled but turned his whole body as Christine told him to put her down. He looked at Becky then sighed roughly taking ehr down shoving her at Chad. He pointed into her face almost touching her nose Your going to pay for talking to me like that and my girl. and dont you forget. He snarled grabbing Christine's arm Come on were going home...your going to fucking get it Christine i almost had a new chew toy for the gang. He roughly pulled her to the door glaring back at Chad. He flipped him the bird before almost breaking the door as he pulled her out with him.

Becky winced as he shoved her at Chad and she stumbled against him. She flipped him the bird then looked at Christine. Her eyes widened as he pointed at her warning her. Oh Bite me. She growled as he grabbed Christine. God that man was rough. Her body tensed as he said he was going to give it to the poor girl and how he almost had a enw chew toy Fucker.. She whispered then looked at Chad Thanks. She said rubbing her arm. He had grabbed her pretty hard and she would probably have a bruise. Sighing she watched as he forced the poor girl away. She hoped that girl someday did get away from that monster Im ok....just kinda pissed off. I cannot stand men like that! She was so scared Chad really. She insisted hoping he would not get mad at her. She was only trying to help.

Nicky watched in anger as the man shoved her daughter at Chad and walked out Baby you have no bad traits. She said and looked at Ian I'll get the truck Ian, can you roudn up your sister before she decides she can take on a god? She sighed grabbing her jacket WE can never have just a normal night...well at least were intereting. She took the keys from Hannibal kissing his lips and then walktzed out the door.

[Hannibal Casry]

Chad stood firm, not about to flinch as the man moved closer to speak the words. Chad's eyes nearly started to water from the stench of the male's breath but when he went to make another threat the woman who had stepped out of the bathroom stepped up to her boyfriend and told him to put Becky down. This caused the male to turn his whole body and heave a heavy sigh from his lungs. He set Becky down and shoved her toward him. Chad kept her close. "I dare you to try and hurt her. You won't last..." Chad's voice was dark as he spoke, showing that he meant this as no joke. The man would die if he tried to hurt Becky.

The girl did not move as she watched him put Becky down. A very, very, very tiny smile crossed the female's features as she was glad that the other didn't get hurt, majorly. Perhaps a bit of bruising, but she didn't get taken back to the gang. That was good. Lips shut again as she was grabbed and he spoke with a rough tone as he forced her to come along. She shuddered as he said she was going to get it. Her eyes fell away and her golden hair hid her face from sight as she quickly followed Greg, trying not to be left behind as he nearly pulled her arm out of its socket. She spared a second glance at Becky and Chad before following through the door. Being careful not to get hit on the way out.

"I'm sorry..." he said softly, as he watched her stroke her arm. He watched too as the girl was pulled away by her boyfriend. Her blue eyes were frightened, but she looked as though she was glad to see that they were alright. He cringed as the door nearly hit her. God, men like that annoyed him. He wished everyone could just be friendly and love one another as much as he and Becky loved one another. There would be no war, no pain, and no heartbreak. The world would be perfect if everyone felt the love they did. "I know." he said, gently resting his hands on her hips as he kept her close for a moment. "I could see it in her eyes... I don't like people like him either. It's not fair." the words came out of his mouth and were stricken with a harsh displeasure.

"Hah. You make me laugh Nicky." he said in response to her comment of him having no bad traits. That thought made him laugh as he found himself having many bad traits, and he was glad that Ian and Becky didn't have too many of them or they would be in trouble. He dropped his hand down to his pocket as she snatched the keys from him. He'd been pick pocketed, but it was the best because he got a kiss. "I know, it's all a start." he said quietly, and kissed her lips as she made her way out the door. Hannibal picked up the tab for the waiter, and tipped him a bit, then followed Nicky outside. He crept up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. "Mmm, it's chilly out here. I need to be close to you so I'm not cold." he said with a playful smile as he stayed close to her.

Ian nodded slightly as his mother said she would get the truck, then to go get his sister before she decided to take on god. He knew she'd be fine now because Chad was with her, but he'd at least go over and see if she was alright. "Hey, you alright?" Ian asked as he walked over to the couple, now he was still the odd one out because he had no date, but he was only with his sister and his soon to be brother-in-law. It wasn’t as bad as being single with two couples.

[Zoey]

Becky almost wanted to spit at the man as he left. She looked at Christine worried as the man pulled her out. she sighed but Chad turned her in his arms resting his hands on her hips You don't need to be sorry it was my fault. She rubbed her arm then looked at him as he pulled her clsoe. She rested her head on his chest taking a deep breath. She needed to calm down. Shivering she looked up as her mother snatched the keys and her father ran after her. She giggled. Her father really loved her mother. Even through 20 years of marriage this year he still craved her. She awnted that with Chad. Her eyes met Ians as he walked over and she nodded. Im fine i just wish i could kick that bastards ass. She brushed her hair from her eyes and then smiled at Ian warmly Maybe we should get going...you guys are probably sick of me by now. She took both of their hands smiling like a kid in a cnady shhop and pulled them outside. These where the men in her life, except she only slept with one and she was related to the other. Grinning she pulled them to the vehicle ONWARD!

Nicky stuck her tongue out at him as he grasped the keys and laughed walking out. She yelped as he grabbed her from behind and rolled her eyes smiling Theres more than one way for me to keep you warm. she whispered and turned kissing his lips a bit longer this time since the kids were out of view Its 20 years in a month you know. she puled his arm to the vehicle Are you gonna do soemthing special for me- She stopped as Becky dragged both the men out of the restuarunt not wavered at all by the fact some fucker just tried to take her away. That was Becky. ADD much? Nicky grinned and threw a snowball at Hannibal Get in and drive buster. She winked and got intot he passengers seat turning up the heater.

Greg growled pulling Christine. He pinned her to the wall in the alley roughly What the fuck got into you? Did you jus think you could make friends? He growled grasping her face angrily making her look at him I have been looking for a new piece of ass for the gang for months! and the one time i find a girl with enough fire to satisfy them you get all heroic! He slapped her harshly across the face. Taking a dep breath he gently ran his finger alonw her jawline Come on...lets go back to my place and later i'll get that bitch. He kissed her lips gently then down her neck I love you ok? Say you love me Christine...Say it. His voice was low..dangerous. He was not a man of patience. She was going to help him get that fucking bitch and he was going to challenge her boyfriends threat..

[Hannibal Casry]

"I know I don't need to be, but I am. I don't like when others think they can treat you like that..." she said quietly as she rested her head against his chest. He didn't want anyone to treat his girl in anything but the best of ways. She deserved the best, forever and always. His hands stayed on her hips as he watched Ian come over to them. A soft smile graced his features as he watched with calm eyes. He was glad to see that Ian was interacting with them again.

He laughed very softly, deep lyrics still finding them sounding a bit rough, but talking was like riding a bike. He'd never actually forget how to do it. He'd just be a little awkward at first. He smiled slightly as she took his hand, as well as Chad's and pulled them outside. Ian followed close; as did Chad and soft laughs escaped both males as she said onward in a slightly loud and happy tone. She acted as though nothing had happened those few moments ago, and to be honest Ian was glad of that. He was glad to see she wasn't dwelling in the past.

He laughed softly as she yelped when he grabbed her from behind, gently of course. "Maybe you should help me out then. I'm getting kind of cold out here." the words escaped his lips with a playful tone and a small smile. He loved her more then anything and it would always be that way. "Why would I tell you that? Then it wouldn't be a surprise... That is, if I even had anything planned. Maybe I was lazy and didn't do anything." he didn't have to try and make his words sound convincing, because in all reality, he could have been lazy and not planned anything for them, or he could have planned the biggest thing in the world. He was random like that, so it was hard to tell when he lied about something good. When he lied about something that he didn't like, however, it was very easy to tell.

"Ahh!" he yelled playfully as she threw a snowball at him. "I'm hit." the male grinned like an idiot, being the playful person that he was. The white snow was easily seen against the black and olive green striped shirt. He brushed it off and stepped in. He drove over to the three and waited for them to get in before driving off again.


The brick was hard against her exposed back and scraped her skin a bit, but not enough to make her take any notice. Her eyes didn't look at Greg when he asked what was wrong with her, and if she thought she could just make friends. "I just--" she started to speak in a soft voice before he grabbed her face and forced her to look at him. Her blue eyes watched him carefully, determined not to cry. She listened to his words, being silent as he explained that her actions were stupid. The hand pushed across her face and left a stinging sensation on her cheek. A nice red handprint settled on her features and she spoke softly. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again." the words slipped from her lips in soft, very apologetic tones as he sighed deeply and ran his finger along her jaw line. She loved his gentle touch, but she didn't feel it that often.

She leaned into his kiss a bit, and leaned her head back as his lips moved down the sensitive skin of her neck. His lips graced the area where the teeth marks were and she didn't even flinch. Just acted as though nothing was there, even though she knew they were marks left by his mouth. She looked at him as he pulled away from her a bit to say that he loved her. Her gorgeous blue eyes looked into his brown ones as he told her to say she loved him. His tones were low and dark sounding as they usually were. With very careful hands she touched his chest and leaned up to find his lips. She kissed him lovingly, and spoke so he could hear it, letting her hot breath brush over his skin. "I love you Greg." Her lips then met with his for another loving kiss. She was eager to please Greg in any way she could.

[Zoey]

[sorry i powerplayed lol i jsut wanted to get some action in, i hope u get my plan i have more ideas once they get Becky, and i thought it would add drama if she got home and she walked in right when Christine kisses Chad, but of course chad being sooo cool didnt want the kiss ^^]

Excitment bubbled through Nicky. She loved suprises..well not exactly the ones where he jumped behind her..ok so maybe she jsut acted like she hated those. She never hated anything that Hannibal did, excpet when he put himself down. She laughed as he acted as a wounded solider and climbed in Alright goof lets go home, i think the kidies need to get to bed. She winked at them as they drove. It was again not even a long drive home. It was peaceful and she was glad they had all passsed on after the little scene at the restuarunt. she was actually kind of proud of Becky. She was like her mother in that way. A Fighter. As they got home she got out and shivered rubbing her arms Jesus its cold. She grabbed her purse walking in. It was late. Time for bed for her anyways. It was up to the rest of them if they went to bed. Chad lived her pretty much so just let him do waht ever the hell he wanted. she stripped off her jacket and streched Im going to bed She murmered and kissed Ians cheek then Becky's. She grinned at Chad then kissed his too Not to late guys i wanna get planning bright and early! She smiled then walked up the stairs knowing her husband would follow.

Becky sat between Chad nad her brother smiling. She loved her family. Everyone of them. Even though they were never going to have a normal day probably she did not care. She liked it fresh and exciting. As they got home she got out taking Chads hand yawning as well. she curled into his chest as the real fatiuge from the niht started to hit. It was cold out and she was utterly tired. The house was warm as they stepped in and she nodded as her mother kissed her cheek Night mom. Her words were kind of slurred as she pulled the strap of her dress up. She hissed in pain a bit realizing she touched her bruised arm. Sighing she saw her mother walk up the stairs. God they had lived here all their lives. she never realized how many memories are in thise house. Her eyes shifted to Ian and she gave a sleepy grin You better get to bed and start dreaming up your dream laday so i can hook you up. She poked his nose then kised Chad gently Bed time Mister. She whispered and pulled him to the stiars I love you brother. She said as she stopped to look at him with sincerity. She had not siad that to him in sooo long. Walking back up the stairs slowly she finally made it to her room and brought Chad in shutting the door. She collapsed on the bed Holy fuck..im to tired to undress. She laughed weakly looking at him Do not get any ideas. Her vocie was teasing of course. She slipped off her shoes and crawled into bed with her dress still on. She was way to tired and just wanted to sleep. Her ehad rested on the pillow and she sighed smiling.

Greg looked as she apologized. He smiled at her, a deadly smile. Good Christine. He had taught her to crave his love. Taught her to want him to be nice. He rearely was gentle with her but he was going to have to be if she would help him If you love me you will help me get that bitch back? Whats her name? he asked and gripped her arms as she leaned up kissing him. He accepted the kiss but did not kiss back. That would make her crave If you really want to please me....i want you to go to her house, i had my boys track it, lure her outside then we got her. But im thinking maybe you could stay and comfort her boy. Just do not get to clsoe you would not want me getting jealous..would you? He asked seriously as he examined her fear filled eyes. Grinning, his grip lossened on her arms and he stepped back There jsut down the block, now go and maybe i will have something for you. He pushed her forward whistling as a black van ripped around the corner Alright boys follow Christine! They all cheered and made room for Greg. This was going to be too easy. After they had some shit with Becky he would get Christine to maybe kiss him the minute she returned. Toy with their lives...no one messed with him..

[Hannibal Casry]

He stayed close to Becky, keeping her hand in his and allowing her to lean against him as the cold of the night set in. None of them were dressed to beat the chill, so everyone was inside the house as quickly as they could be; no one wanted to really be outside. Their mother kissed both her children and Chad laughed softly as she kissed him too. He loved these guys more then anything. They were great, and he was glad they were so accepting of him now. It only took them five years to actually feel this way about him, but he was glad that he had finally earned their trust.

Ian smiled softly as his mother kissed his cheek and then as Becky said he'd better picture a good dream girl because she was going to find her. "I don't need your help to get someone." he said with a smirk. He had a smart ass comment to go along with that, but a yawn took over his features, making the conceited comment stay within him. "Love you too Becky." he said softly and got a glass of water before he wandered up the stairs and walked into his room, shutting the door behind him. He stripped off the clothes and went to bed in a tank top and shorts.

Chad kissed her back and laughed slightly as she whispered those words to him. He followed her into the room and watched as she fell to the bed, the words coming from her mouth made him grin, but a weak laugh followed and she told him not to get any ideas. "I wasn't..." he lied playfully as he stripped off his clothes so he was comfortable again. He didn't dislike dressing up, but he was more comfortable in less formal clothing. The male left himself in his boxers, and a tight muscle shirt that hid the detail, and extent that his scars held. They were all over his body and it horrified him to look at them.

He'd debated sleeping shirtless, but something kept him from it, so he kept it on. He stopped to stand in her body length mirror though, standing close to turn around and examine the stitching on his back. He looked at it probably a million times a day, one because it bothered him and he felt weird with it. Then two, because he wanted to make sure they were still healing well. After a long self-examination, he heaved a heavy sigh and crawled into bed with her, letting his cloth covered body lay against hers.

She looked at him, her deep blue eyes scanning his features as if searching for something nicer then that deadly smile of his. He smiled like that when he said she did something good, and when he had something in store for her. She wished there was a difference, but his smiles were always deadly, and worried her a bit. She had hidden that within her over the time they've been together. His hands held tightly to her arms and said that if she did love him, she'd help him get Becky back, but in different words. "Her name's Becky..." Christine said softly, not wishing to hurt the girl that had stuck up for her, but she was selfish and knew that if she didn't help, Greg would bring her into another near death experience, but still let her live. He wouldn't ever kill Christine, and it was amazing what the young woman could live through.

"No, I wouldn't want that at all..." she said quietly, knowing how he handled jealously. It usually ended with her getting hurt, and begging his forgiveness. She didn't like to make him mad, so she tried her best not to and did pretty well in all seriousness. His grip loosened on her arms as a grin stretched across his shadowed features, and then he stepped away, leaving her against the wall. Her eyes looked at him carefully; a brief glimpse of wonder being caught in her eyes before he pushed her away and whistled for the van. She really couldn't imagine what he would say was for her... Greg was unpredictable.

Her body moved with a natural grace that some females had and others didn't. Her hips were moving in an erotic manner, and her long slender leg was seen from the parting in the dress. Heels clicked casually as she walked, and made a steady beat for ones heart to follow as they watched her. The black material left a good amount to the imagination, but it gave obvious hints so that your ideals weren't too far fetched. She had been offered a modeling career last year, but Greg said he didn't want her to move to New York, so she had declined the offer and stayed with him.

Her very obviously feminine figure moved up the walk of the house, and she made her way to the window. She could see Chad admiring himself in a mirror with quite the unsatisfied look upon his features. He disappeared soon then, and Christine purposely stumbled in the grass. She got a bit of grass on her dress, ruffled her once nice hair, smeared her make up and the cuts from being pushed against the brick in the alley finished off her nicely beaten appearance. She hoped she could pull this off, for she didn’t want to cause Greg any displeasure.
"Becky..." she said softly, but loud enough to be heard as she threw a rock at the window. "I need your help. Please come out..." she said, throwing another small one to hit the window. "It's Christine. Sorry to bother you..." her voice was pleading, and borderline on tears.

Becky sighed and smiled resting ehr head on her elbow. he looked amazing. No matter what he did. she wanted to just pull him onto the bed and have her way with him. Sadly, though he still had lots of scars and stiches and she did not want him to take longer to heal. She sighed getting up as he walked out and turned in the mirror. She was not so great either. The scar on her chest was visible. God this whole night had gone wrong because of her. She had to be the nice one who helped every person who walked by. Curse her and her good heart. Her head turned and she jumped as rocks hit her window. Slowly she walked to the window not beleiveing her eyes Christine? She whispered and opened her window and looked making sure chad was not watching.

As she crawled out she took the girls hand Whats wrong you look like you were..slapped? She touched the girls cheek gently and frowned. It was really shilly out What can i help you with? Just hurry Chad is coming back soon and im fricken tired. She smiled looking at the girl lightly. She felt sorry for the girl. Her boyfriend was obviously abusive. But she kinda hoped she did not ask for shelter. she wanted to be alone with Chad and just get some sleep...

Nicky walked into her room and sat on the bed. She pulled off her dress and crawled under the covefrs. She gripped her stomach not feeling good and winced as she pulled her knees into her chest as she still gripped her stomach groaning lightly Hannibal...can you get me sometihng i really do not feel good. She grabbed ehr pillow and pulled it into her stomach and another wince crossed her face. God what was with her? she felt as if she could just throw up her whole inside. But she was not one to usually get sick so it was weird. Her hair was in her eyes and she was shaking a bit and her teeth where chattering. She was not one to usually get sick but dear lord..

"What's wrong love?" he asked as he wandered over to the bed and sat beside her. It was obvious that she didn't feel good, her stomach seeming to be the target of the brutal attack, but he needed to know what was wrong so he could get her something to subdue the pain or to ease away tihe sickness. They had lots of medicine in the house, ever since the children were little. They have medicine to cure most types of horrid symptoms, although most of them don't usually get sick. He gently touched his fingers to her face and dropped to his knees beside the bed. He didn't know what to get her, but he hoped she was going to be alright. He hated seeing her like this...

The male looked at himself, eyes showing disappointment in how his body looked, but a smile graced his features as she came out beside him. She looked amazing as well, but he knew she didn't like the scar even though she said she deserved it. How she managed t deserve such a thing was beyond him. The young male stayed in the mirror as she moved over to the window. He was still deeply involved with mentally cursing his ugly body as she crept outside.

The female watched as she crawled out the window, blue eyes were wide and ridden with fear. She had to make sure she was believeable, but that wasn't too hard because she was kind of scared. She didn't want to do such a horrible thing to the girl who had tried to help her only a little while before, but she knew Greg wanted her for the gang and she didn't want to disappoint him.

"Yeah... It's Greg. He hit me- and, a-nd..." her words were very quiet and shaken as she dared to speak. The gentle hand touched her face and she nearly jumped back in surprise. A gentle touch was so rare for her, and how she loved it when he was gentle. Tears brimmed the edges of her deep blue eyes as she watched Becky with a careful glance. "I don't know what to do Becky... When he hit me, I just couldn't take it anymore..." she said quietly, using a shaky hand to point out where "Greg was laying". "He pushed me, and I pushed him back. He fell and hit his head..." she said quietly. This was all an act of course. Greg and his friends were all just fine, and they were waiting for Cher to draw Becky out front so they could grab her into the van.

Becky drew her hand back as she jumped not wanting to frighten her. She studied the poor girls face nodding. What a horrible man. she felt so bad for this young girl. Her eyes examined her face and it was a bit reder and brusies since she saw the two at the restaurant Do not worry I will go and get him to take inside. Ill call the police and you won't have to go through this. Can you just go and tell Chad for me? She smiled warmly and then looked as the corner kinda loked threatening. She rubbed her bare arms as she was still in her skimpy dress and it was rather cold out Just crawl through my window and tell him im calling the police..hes really nice dont be shy. sighing she faked another smile and headed around the corner. As soon as she was about 20 feet from her she stopped looking around her What the hell? Where was that idiot?

Nicky smiled weakly nodding as she faked a happy face Im ok..probably jsut something not agree- She hissed hiding her face in the pillow as he walked over. What was with her? She had never had this bad of stomach pains, not even when she was a teenager with cramps. Groaning she felt his gentle fingers trace her face Please dont worry love i tihnk i just need sleep.. If she could get any. Her stomach felt like it was ripping itself apart! She weakly moved over so he could come into the bed. Please come lie with me.. Her eyes clsoed as she hugged her stomach hoping he would. Hannibal could always make her feel better. No matter how much pain she was in. But wat confused her was what her stomach aws doing..

[Hannibal Casry]

Becky frowned slightly, knowing what she was doing was horribly wrong. She almost had the heart to mumble to be careful, but if she did she'd be ready for what was waiting for her, and Christine didn't want to make Greg mad. She kept her lips closed and watched as she walked away. She carefully made her way up the wall and into the room, where the male was now laying, and the lights were out. It was very dark in the room, preventing either of them from really seeing much. He sat up a bit as she made her way through the window, lyrics spoke firmly, but had a very gentle and loving tone to them. She was taken aback by the very gentle voice and longed to be closer.

"Where did you go?" he asked, arms crossing over his nicely formed, but scar covered chest which was stil lcovered by a shirt. He got no responce but watched her silently make her way to the bed. It was dark and he thought about turning on the lights, but kept them off as he waited for an answer. The female moved into the bed and her touch on his skin was very different, almost as though she was blind. Her hands were abnormally careful, as though she was trying to understand what he looked like, and as if she'd never touched him before... "What's wro--?" the male started to speak before her lips met his. The kiss was sweet, but different.

He knew her smile was fake, but if it made her feel better, then she could fake a smile all she wanted. She should know better then to think she could fool him. He's been around her way too long to fall for something so simple. He watched her with wondering eyes as he wished he knew what was wrong. Unless it was the wine, it couldn't have been anything she ate... but then again, he didn't recall her taking a drink of the wine, and if it had been both he and Chad would be suffering as well. He hoped it wasn't what he was thinking... he prayed god that he hoped it wasn't whqat he was thinking. None the less he crawled into the bed beside her as she moved over and wrapped her arms around her stomach.

The tall male laid beside her, and wrapped his long arms around Nicky's body and kept her close to him. His hands were gently tracing over the area of her stomach in a soothing manner as his head rested by hers. He pushed the thoughts out of his mind and tried not to think about what he thought it was. He didn't know if he quite wanted that.

The males watched as she made her way out front. Two larger men moved from the van. One went directly toward her mouth and grabbed her from the back, making sure to cover her mouth to the fullest extent so that she couldn't be heard when she screamed. The other male picked up her legs and together they brought her back into the van.
