Warning! - This chapter has scenes which some might find Disturbing!

Meanwhile At the Court Of Miracles:

Anya paced up and down the living room floor, as she waited anxiously for her best friend to come home, this morning Esme asked Anya if she could join her as she was going to leave the court of miracles and check the city out but Anya refused, wanting to keep a low profile, but now she wished she hadn't said no, since she had not seen her since late in the morning, now it was nearly three o clock in the morning, Anya was not the only one worried for her friend, Dr Facilier was also worried for his daughters safety, especially since she nevers stays out this late, especially since they heard the rumors going around was that Frollo was out on the prowl, trying to catch Esme and Anya, there were also rumors that Frollo was burning the city of Paris down to smithereens, which made Anya's Anxiety worser, Just then Dr Facilier and Coplin came in to the living room, they had been searching allover the court of miracles for her "any sign of her?" Facilier questioned "not a peep!" Anya said anxiously, distress was on his face aswell as Coplins "Damn it!" Coplin said, that is when Facilier ordered his son "Coplin you stay here with Anya, I'm going out to find her!"

That is when Anya said with concern "you can't go out of here alone, you'll be killed!" "I don't have a choice, I need to find my little girl, besides my friends from the other side will help me" he said before storming out of the house, leaving Anya and Coplin alone, with all the drama going about in her life at the moment she couldn't help but brake down into tears, Coplin walked over to her and gave her a hug, Anya hugged backed, where was her friend? "It's okay Anya, she will be found I promise" he said using his fingers to stroke her back, she found it comforting, she had to admit that hugging him made her feel a little bit better, after a few minutes they both let go off each other, Anya saw that the fire was about to go out so she decided to put a few bits of kindling and started the fire up again, just as the fire started to get going again Coplin brought in two glasses of beer "here Anya, it might calm your nerves" he said as he passed her the drink, she thanked him and took a big gulp.

For a few minutes the pair drunk their beers in silence, many thoughts were going through her head, where was Esme? Where had she gotten to? Has she been caught by the guards? Or has she gone to see Quasi? Have they started seeing each other? The thoughts left her a little bitter, just then Coplin questioned "are you okay Anya?" She turned her attention to him "yes I am fine, just a lot of things going around my head" she admitted, turning her gaze upon the fire, watching the fire dancing in front of her eyes, just then she heard Coplin "Damn it!" He said as he accidentally spilled beer him down his shirt, Anya turned her gaze to him "here let me get you a cloth" Anya said, she ran to the kitchen, grabbed a cloth, wetting it and rubbing soap on, when she ran back into the living room she saw Coplin had stripped his top off.

"Here you are" Anya said as she passed him the cloth, he thanked her, she couldn't help but stare at him, she didn't realise how muscular he was, underneath that shirt was a six pack and tanned muscles "do you like what you see?" Coplin teased her with a wicked grin, Anya was shocked by his question "I beg your pardon" she said feeling offended, she could feel her blood start to heat up "you heard what I said beautiful..." he said standing up, coming close to her, Anya's heart started to beat fast as she realised that this was a set up, that is when he said in a alluring tone "...you know Anya, you are still as gorgeous as you were Ten Years ago, every day I dreamed of seeing you again and here you are, now I promise to never let you go again" the darkness in his voice made her shiver, she should have seen the red flags before now but it was too late, even if Quasi didn't love her she still loved him and that sure was not going to change! This made her blood reach boiling part so she angrily said to him "let's get one thing straight Coplin, I don't love you, I never have nor will I ever, my heart belongs to another."
