It took a few hours before we landed in London after using our private jet, we only went there because the last time we spoke he had told me where he would be performing, it was just a few hours away from the airport and I got out with my brother's trailing behind me, before we went in Arelius dropped the cig he had between his lips into the snow and stepped on it, before we went inside, I looked around and saw people walking around mostly dressed in ballerina stuff, even though I didn't show it I was really excited to see Eleni.

The way he talked about his dancing would just do that to anyone, but to meet him in person has been a dream of mine since I first spoke to him, I walked down the hall and stopped the first room to see a girl with read hair dressed in ballerina stuff dancing around the room with head phones on, she ran and jumped before coming down back and spun on her toes before she stopped and smiled to herself relaxing before she went to the corner of the room that held a laptop a bag with a towel thrown over it.

I looked around to see she was the only one in the room before we walked in and Meris closed the door behind us leaning against it, her head snapped up and she just watched me for a second before she scanned my brothers and her eyes landed back at me, she suddenly changed her stance from portraying a delicate dancer to portray a skilled boxer who looked ready to fight, it was kind of weird to see her change like that but I just ignored it as I walked up and stretched out my hand "good afternoon, my name is Roman and I'm looking an Eleni, is he around?"

The look on her face made me bite my lip, her eyes were wide the towel had fallen from her hand and she lowered the headphones to her shoulder, I watched as she sucked her lip into the mouth and she looked around nervously before she looked at me "what?... um I mean who did you say you were and why are you looking for him?" she had a thick accent that I found hard to understand but I picked up enough words to know what she was talking about.

"I'm Roman a friend of his, i just came to see him is all, I hadn't heard from him in over two months and to be honest I'm worried something might have happened to him.

She stared at me for a bit before a bulb seemed to light up in her head and she gave me a sad smile "so you're the geezer he's been chatting with online, he was right you are good looking" her face dropped a little and she cleared her throat "but I'm sorry, Leni is not here, he left a while back?"

"Really why?" I was a bit stunned at that because every time I spoke to him he went on about his dancing and that he loved being in London because of all the opportunities it provided, he loved the people and if he had a choice he would by an apartment here for whenever he visited, not that I hated his rant's in fact they brightened my day, like all those times I had to do something I didn't want to I would just go home and listen to him go on and on for hours about it, he lived for his dancing, it was everything to him so why would he just up and leave, especially after a major performance that could get him noticed without any problems.

She looked nervous as she rung her hand out before sighing she was about to speak when the there was a knock the door and her head snapped up, I turned and Meris looked at me asking whether or not to let the person in and I nodded, he moved from behind the door pulling it open, which revealed a short male that was dressed in tights, a top that swallowed him and the dancing slippers, he glanced around at the three of us before his attention turned to the girl who's name I had yet to learn, he walked over to her and they started to exchange whisper's until the man gasped with wide eyes and turned to watch us.

"So you're Roman, I guess Eleni did make a good guess, but I'm sorry he isn't here and it's not our place to tell you why, all I can do is help you get to him so the two of you can talk, but forgive him if that isn't what he want's." he spoke with a grim look on his face before he gave us all curt nod's and took the girls hand leading her out the room, he came back a while after and gave me all the information I would need to get to Eleni and wished me good luck before he left again.

As we walked out Meris and Arelius lit cigarettes and for the first time in a while I heard Arelius speak "things aren't looking so good and with the way his friends spoke about whatever happened I think we should do some digging before we try to get close to him." I nodded and Meris let out a sigh.

"He's right, let's just get a place to stay for a few day's we'll do some digging and then we'll head to America like his friend said we should and maybe you should try and get in contact with him to give him a heads up, we don't want to just show up not knowing what kind of reaction we'll get from him, okay?" I nodded and we got in the car driving off to find an apartment.

It didn't take long for us to find one and settle down to which we all pulled out our laptops and started working, I got on the site and sent him a message, but I knew he didn't get it so I sent him one on the phone number he had given me hoping he still had it but once again there was no sign that he had even gotten the message, I sighed and ran my hand through my hair and placed the laptop down when I heard Meris gasp, I looked up to see his eyes were wide with his mouth hanging open and he looked up at me.

I gave him a questioning look and he swallowed before licking his lips "I hacked into the police database after I wasn't finding anything and I found he information on why he left, you're not going to like it." I quickly got up and went up to him collecting the laptop.

I hissed past clench teeth as I read through his file and had to stop after a while because I felt bile slowly raising to my mouth, I placed the laptop down and walked over to the window leaning against it as I looked out, it took everything in me just to try and process what I had just seen, what was written by the officers, they even had some images of him, how could someone be so cruel to do that to another person, why would that even come across there minds in the first place. Eleni was so beautiful, gentle and smart, why in the world anyone would want to hurt someone like him baffled me, but some did hurt him like that.

And all of what I just saw happened two months ago, so that's why he didn't respond to my messages or tried to make contact with me, that's the reason he had to give up on this opportunity that he had wanted his whole life and talked so powerfully about, someone saw him and decided that their want for him or their jealousy was more important than the life he had, they ruined him, they tore him into nothing and just left him.

Learning all this suddenly made me so hesitant, I just felt like maybe I shouldn't go to him but then again I really wanted to, I wanted to hold him close and comfort him, cherish him and keep him from all harm, but after what happened would he even want to be touched, would he even want to be around me, more people in his life trying to get to know him, I really hoped that everything he was hadn't completely changed, but after something like this happened to someone, it's as if they had no choice but to change.

I suddenly needed a smoke as I pushed myself off the window and went to the door grabbing my jacket as I yanked open the door and went outside going down the stairs and out into the fresh snow, the place was dark with only street lamps illuminating the streets and it kinda brought some sort of comfort as I pulled a cig out of the pack and lit it with my lighter, I took a deep breath inhaling as much of it as I could before I slowly let it out and felt relaxed enough to lean against the side of the building.

I heard the door open after a while and turned to look at Arelius as he made his way outside while slipping on his jacket, he took out a cig and held it out to me so I lit it quickly and he took a drag as he walked out into the clear road "after a long time in my life I'm actually feeling sorry for someone other than myself" he took another drag and I watched him carefully as he leaned against the street lamp "the kid barely turned twenty, still a baby in the eyes of many people, when his innocence was stolen in such a cruel and uncut way, the men that did that to him were sick, the only way he got courage to say who it was, was when his father had finally taken him out the country and the images of what they did to him are just sitting there, that's pretty sick thing to do to someone."

I nodded and looked around "don't worry as soon as I was finished reading through I closed it and told Meris not to look at it again, and for as defiant as he is he actually agreed he never wanted to see that again, so baby brother, what do you want to do now?"

I chewed on my lips before shaking my head "to be honest with you, I don't know... I really don't
