It was dark outside.
How long had he been away?
It felt like an eternity. He didn't know where to go. He was walking down the street and spotted a familiar coffee shop. Remus checked his pockets and found his wallet.
He walked into the shop and ordered a coffee and a chocolate croissant.
I'm so stupid! He thought.
Of course he had to run away.
He always did. The only time he hadn't done it, was when he moved in with Lily, and that's only because she didn't know about the scars and he wanted to keep it like that.
Now James probably knew, and if he knew Lily knew.
Great! I'm a fucking idiot! He thought and slammed his head on the table.
He quickly ate his croissant and ran outside to the park.
There he found his favourite bench.
The one under the giant oak tree facing the small pond.
The tree was about to lose all its leaves. They were red, yellow and green. It was already autumn.
Time had passed so fast. Remus looked at the pond and stared at his own reflection.
"No please! Don't hurt me!!"
No, not now. It was too painful. His vision blurred and Remus struggled to keep his eyes open.
"Ah, you are so weak you won't survive this!"
Remus was too tired. Slowly he gave into the memory and closed his eyes.
*FLASHBACK*
Remus was five when it happened. At that time his father was a very popular politician. But there were many people who didn't like what he said.
Fenrir Greyback was one of them. Remus's father had said some bad things about him and his gang, and they were taking revenge.
Remus was in bed waiting for his father to come and say goodnight.
He was staring out the window. It had been full moon that day.
His father came into the room and closed the curtains.
"Goodnight my child. Rest well. Tomorrow is a big day." He always said that. His father closed the door and took one last look at Remus before he walked out the room.
Remus was sleeping and had a nightmare.
"Dad!" He screamed. His father came running into the room.
"What's wrong?" Remus was crying.
"Shush, it's okay it was just a nightmare." His father said while stroking his head. "Go to sleep now. Everything will be alright."
He said and walked outdo again.

Fenrir had been waiting the whole day and now night. Now was his time to shine. The plan was simple. Go in and kill Lyall Lupin. The child might be a problem, but they would kill him too if they had too.
He crawled in through Remus's window. He had let it be open.
Fenrir stood at the foot of the bed and stared at the little child.
Then he changed his mind. He knew that the child meant everything to Lyall. What better way to cause him pain than by taking his child.
He slowly lifted Remus and carried him out the window.
Then he got away.

Remus had been held captive for at least 6 years now. He couldn't remember. Everyday he'd be torured until he blacked out and then again. His father had given up searching for him by now. Remus had lost hope when he turned 9. He had heard his mother died from grief.
"Look, who's awake." Fenrir said with a wicked grin. "Now let's make you suffer." He said before taking out a whip and whipping his back and opening the scars that were there before. He opened newly closed wounds again, making Remus scream in pain.
"What have I told you about screaming?" Fenrir said and stood right in front of Remus's face so he could feel his breath.
"No screaming or you will be punished." Remus said while crying.
"Exactly. You know what will happen now."
He took a knife from the table behind him. He made three long lines on his back. Remus didn't scream this time. He already blacked out. Fenrir kept going with the torture. That was until one day, when Remus had been held captive for 11 years, Fenrir died.
Finally Remus was free. He ran to the nearest house then blacked out. He didn't remember the rest.
*END OF FLASHBACK*

"Sirius, come over here!" James yells.
They had been looking for Remus when Lily said that he likes to come to the park.
Sirius ran to James and James pointed towards the pond. Or actually the bench next to the pond. Sirius saw a small silhouette laying on the bench.
Sirius heartbeat fastened and he felt like laying on the ground in relief.
But, still he had to make sure it really was Remus, and not some weirdo.
Sirius ran to the bench and saw that it was Remus. He looked like he was asleep. "I fucking hate you right now." Sirius muttered as he lifted Remus up bridal style.
"But I love you too much to let you be." He said and planted a kiss on Remus's forehead.
Lily came running towards them.
"Oh my god you found him! Thank you so much!" She said and hugged Sirius. She then started crying.
"I was so worried! I thought he was dead!"
James came over and put a hand over her shoulders.
"Come here." He said and pulled Lily close to him.
Sirius wanted to cry, he too. But he wasn't going to cry. Not here in front of his friends. His best friend James and Lily. And boyfriend Remus. He felt a tear slip down his cheek and quickly wiped it away.
No, he was not going to cry. He had to remain strong.
He walked to Remus's and Lily's dorm. There he gently put Remus back in his bed.
"Thank you." Remus muttered.
"You're awake?" Sirius asked surprised. He looked at Remus's face. He was sleeping peacefully.
"I guess not." He said and shrugged. Then he layed down next to Remus and snuggled close to him.  Although he knew he would not be able to sleep, he closed his eyes and let his body rest.

"James, do you think he's okay?"
"Of course he is, Sirius is by his side. If anything happens he will be there. Don't you worry about that. Just focus on getting some rest."
"Okay." Said Lily.
"James?" She asked uncertainly.
"Yes?" "Can you... please stay here with me?" James let out a laugh.
"What's so funny?" Lily said angry.
"Nothing. Ouch! Why did you do that?"
Lily smirked. "Can we watch a movie?"
"Sure"
They snuggled close to each other on the couch. Lily was resting her head on James's shoulder and James had a protective arm around her. That's how they fell asleep.
