“ I know.”

“Sam?”

Shane remained call and didn’t bother to roll her eyes, she never did with him and it always set him at ease. So much so that it was rare that he’d ever stutter around her like he did with anyone else.

“ Yes?”

“Don’t forget”

“ Forget what?”

“Remus and Romulous…our empire”

“ Never.”

He drifted off to sleep mainly from emotional and physical exhaustion but was content there in Shane’s arms. The arms of his protector. Shane held him tight as if she were on watch like she did nearly every night. Every night that she didn’t share the fate that fell apon him that night. She could smell the ammonia used to scrub the floors all over his t-shirt but held back her own need to run screaming from the reminder of what happened to her in that dark room. Her mind drifted to thoughts of months before when they sat down and heard the story of Remus and Romulous. She tried to recall the entire story so she could always remember it and tell it back to her sleeping soulmate.

“Now you youngins sit down ‘ere aye and I’ll tell ya bout where ya came descendin from…..see along time ago there were two twin babies born from wolves…”

Shane woke up screaming as she felt her entire body yanked from the bed and onto the floor.

“What the fuck are you two doing in bed toghether!”

Shane panicked as she looked over and saw the terror in Donny’s eyes. He curled up in a ball and shook with the anticipation of what was to come. They always woke up when they heard him get up to take a shower in the morning and scurried down the hall back to their own bed. For some reason this morning he had skipped his shower and it left the fear of God in the two never woke up.

“I knew something else was wrong with you two, your both fucking freaks”

“ Let go of me!”

“ Let me go…Let me go….Please no…”
