Apartment 13

as brain is being neighborly I look up at hearing loud voices from apt. 13.

I look over at Brian,"Hey man, what is going on in that place? I just moved in this morning and I have already heard all kinds of yammering going on up there. Who lives there? And either they got kids or someone is into some serious bondage. " I kind of laugh the last part off, though something stirs in my eyes, an almost silent unease.

I look at Brian's handywork. It is patched up nice, and cleaned up real good.

"Hey Brian thanks a lot man. For the record my name is Tristan. You need anything lemme know ok? There is a party going on down at the campus tonight if you wanna come along. Should be some great looking ladies down there?"
 
He shurgs, not knowing if he can or not..

"I might.. I think maybe she has some kids or somthing over there. Probably taking care of some brats."
 
"she? I didn't know any ladies live here? Hey man are you all together or anything?"

I ask the question my mind already stirring. It is an unconcious response. I guess it has a lot to do with being in the prime of my life or some such nonesense, all I know is I have a healthy addiction to the female sex, no matter their shape size, or color.

Waiting on Brian's response, I have made up my mind to meet this person, though not if they are together. No need to cut in on someone else's action so to speak.

"man she must have some loud as hell brats then. Hey if your interested in that party just come down to my place tonight at 9 on the dot. I am telling you this thing is going to be great. Be good man and thanks for the bandage"
 
Lilly

I just can't take anymore. How can I get rid of them, wish someone can help.

"Please no more,it has to stop. Why was it me."

"You know why, because of you we are here. Now you have to take care of us."

"Can't do it any more. I am leaving," Putting my hand on the knob to leave.

STOP YOU CANNOT LEAVE, you will be sorry.

I ran out of the apartment crying.

STOP came from the place.
 
He smiles and nods in response, but again hears some yelling from the apartment, and the door opening..

"Excuse me.. I... er I need to go see somthing.. make yourself at home.."

Brian steps outside and immediatly spots his neighbor crying.. he rushes to her and hugs her, trying to comfort her "Are you ok? What's wrong?"
 
"I just can't take it anymore. No one could help me, no one," leaning on his shoulder crying. How can tell anyone, they will kill them. All I am is a slave to them.

"Brian, I can't let you in and tell you. You wouldn't believe me," looking at him crying. "Please just let me go, I am no good......let me go", pushing away from him.
 
stepping outside once I see brian take up and leave and also hearing the loud STOP, I see Brian comforting simply put one of the most attractive redheads I have ever seen in my life. She looks so lithe and innocent in her sadness. I walk up.

"Hey whats wrong? Did someone hit you or something?" Concern is etched on my face deeply. I don't reach out to touch her, thinking it may infuriate Brian or cause shock or alarm to her, no need to make a tense situation worse.
 
Lilly

I hear another voice behide me,"Hey whats wrong? Did someone hit you or something?" saying something. Looking at a person I know nothing about, "No everything is ok. I just needed to go out." My eye on Brian and this new person.

"So sorry for crying just a bad day. Thank you Brian, oh my name is Lilly welcome to this building." My body was still shaking. So hope they don't see no marks or bites on me. Making sure that area is cover.
 
He smiles.. she seems so shaken.. he doesnt know what is wrong with her, but she seems like she wants to be alone right now..

"Are you sure you are ok? You want to come into my apartment, and talk about it?"
 
"hey yeah why don't you let me whip up some cappucino or something? I got my own machine and it won't take no time. Go on down to Brian's and if it is ok with him I will bring it right up. "

I flash a reassuring smile, "Trust me, it will make you feel worlds better" :)
 
Lilly

"Brian do you mind? I just can't go back there now." Looking from one to another, they think I am crazy I know it.

I started to shake again, what is wrong with me. Why do other things control my life? But could I trust them, to tell them everything. So many years, living the way I have.

"Do you think you could make it for me. I sure need something right now, to make me feel better."
 
I flash a smile, a very reassuring one and take my bandaged hand and move some of my hair back out of the way.

"Well first things first. My name is Tristan, and it is completly my pelasure"

I walk on down to my new apt. everything strown around everywhere because I simply have not had time to put everything in order. I rummage through some boxes and after a couple of minutes of digging find cappucino machine. Taking out all of the various flavors I have brought I decide on my favorite, French Vanilla. Yes this will serve nicely I believe. I plug the contraption up and begin to do my magic. While the brew is being made i turn on my oven and get some crescants from my freezer and warm them up, taking time to put some cinamon butter on them as they baste in the oven to rise and soak up the melted butter. A light sprinkling of sugar is put on top of them for some extra sweetness as well.

The pot of cappucino is done and I take the crescants out of the oven, making sure to take some butter with me. All of this took a little longer then I thought, but to make sure that everything was perfect it was worth it, besides what woman doesn't like to be served hand and foot ever now and then? And besides Brian was real nice by helping me out with my cut.

I walk up to Brian's apt. my hands full....

"Here it is everyone..come and get it"
 
He smiles, and leads her into his apartment, quickly moving the recently dry-cleaned uniform from the couch, setting her down there.... sitting down beside her, he holds her hand comfortingly

"What is so wrong that it makes you cry?"
 
"I hear them calling me, are they?" Looking into Brian face wondering what he is thinking. I just feel so safe in his arms, leaning my head against his shoulder. "No, they aren't, it's just I can't take any more."

Tristan came in then, I stop talking. Watching him with the coffee and crescents, thinking do I say anything to him. "Thank you for the cappucino, it is very good." Tasting it as I talk.

"Really I will be okay now. I want to thank the both of you for your help. " Putting the cup on the table, I stand up, when I did I fainted. Brian caught me in time.
 
"Holy shit! Man we need to get her to a hospital or something. "

As Lilly has fallen in Brian's arms I notice something a tad peculiar. A line of red marks. Bites? Scratches? I can't really tell, but I readily point them out to Brian.

"What do you make of that my man?"
 
lacerations. scars. fresh.. like they were made just today...

Brian looks up at tristin and shrugs.. is just glad he caught her in time.. she feels warm to the touch..

"Go get me a piece of ice from the fridge, willya?"

I lay her down on the couch, making sure that her head lays to the side so that she does not swallow her own tounge, or drown if she were to vomit..

"She'll be fine, no reason to call the hospital"
 
Lilly

I srtarted to moan, bad dreams I was having. Dreaming of them going after Brian and Tristan. "No leave them alone, they did nothing." They can't get hurt because of me.

My body starts to move, like someone fighting to get out. "No please don't hurt them, please." I started to shake bad, sitting up then back laying down. "Feel hot, need water....to hot."
 
my eyes getting wide.
"brian...we seriously need to get her to a doctor now. It looks like someone has really done a number on her skin in the worst way. Look at all those little marks everywhere. I don't think there are just kids up there in her place."

as Lilly moans and speaks about us getting hurt and something getting out, my head starts to spin. I don't quite know what to think is going on.....
 
I sigh and nod.. "Go get her some ice water right quick, and a piece of ice.... call the hospital, tell them the symptoms..
 
I hear them talking, "No hospital, I will be ok." Looking at them as I got up. "Brian, can I sleep on the couch tonight?"

Taking the ice water someone gave me..Looking over the glass for a answer.
 
giving the water to Lilly gingerly, and smoothing back her silken red hair that was plastered to her face in sweat.

"listen sweetheart, someone or something has done a number on your skin there. I don't know why you won't see a doctor, but that is completly your choice, and I respect it, but you really need to rest up. "

I find Brian when he is off to the side of his apt. and Lilly is looking out blankly. "do you think we oughta check her place out man? I mean seriously, these cuts, that weird talk she moaning about....I don't like the looks of this."

and I had to be honest with myself, I have always had something for the damsel in distress.
 
Brian sighs "No. what is her business is her business. We have no right. She will tell us, in time."

Brian looks to her and smiles "You are very preety, We are just worried that you are hurt is all"
 
"I will be ok, just that my life growing up wasn't to good. These attacks come on me now and then. Really, I will be ok. Just very tired, maybe I should just go home."

Looking at them, I know they are worried but everything will be okay.
 
"well now I don't mean to be pushy , but your not exactly stable on your feet just yet. Brian do you care to give me a hand with our redheaded friend here. Sorry Lilly , but you need help back up there to your place if you insist on staying there."

I kneel down beside of Lilly offering up my barely covered shoulder to her, and gently putting my hand on the small of her back to help her up.
 
Brian nods "I think you might need a little help here. I dont want you to hurt yourself"
