Natasha stepped into the church, seeing the room be illuminated by candles, and the clock having struck midnight long ago.

"She may be more pure than words can tell...but feelings come no man can calm..."

Her eyes followed the candles, and spotting Yuri, kneeling in front of the Altar, praying.

"Please let me go beyond God's law...for her."

"Yuri?" She spoke softly.

"Ah, Natasha, what are you doing up so late?" Yuri turned to her and stood up.

She walks to the atlar, stepping in front of Yuri, her eyes meeting his.

Seeing those gray eyes that looked like those of a doe, made Yuri soften.

"He's angry again.." Her voice was quiet.

He signs and gently pulls her into his arms, resting his chin on her head.

She rests her head on his chest, closing her eyes and sighing, "I wish he could be more affectionate.."

"He doesn't love you, My dear, no man who loves you would hurt you."

"But he spoils me.." She looks up at him, her eyes meeting his.

"A Diamond necklace doesn't mean anything when it's to cover bruises.

"But..."

Yuri continued, "You don't deserve how he treats you, I wish I could show you that."

Natasha always possessed a child-like innocence, even after all that happened. It made Yuri's eyes soften, leading her to a ladder, and up to a loft.

It was familiar to her, a small loft that overlooked the church, and had pillows and a folded up blanket. It was a common place for them to meet, away from Makarov's prying eyes.

Natasha felt a blanket be wrapped around her, and she let herself lean into Yuri's chest after closing her eyes.

A sign escaped the man's lips, looking down at the young girl in his arms, his fingers grazing over the bruise on her cheek.

He knew he needed to get her away from Makarov's grasp, and into a safe place.

But he knew the consequences if he attempted.

The clocktower rings as it hits another hour.

"You should go, before he realizes you're gone."
