Escape to Brian Quinn's

"i'm glad someone has had time to figure that out, I wasn't sure which direction anything was, really. And I know once my magic comes back, it wont feel far. That reallywill be nice. That was one thing that Rob and Jen endlessly criticised me for--being close to my family and friends. But they don't have any idea what that's like, do they? Their fathers were never around--however many of them there were. And Charlotte, well, she was no sort of mother at all. She tried well enough, but she's always been a mental case, and poor thing couldn't help herself. Personally, I don't regret being close to my family. Its all we Lupins know. And I don't regret being close to my friends either. Its a shame how some people really do not understand nor value the true power in love."

steven chuckled "I have always had a good sense of direction " he said and sighed at her talking about family "family is the most importent thing you can have in life, with out it your a nobody as rob and jen found out, how can you be rememberd for the things you did if you don't have people who remeber it " he said "and a sorry excuse for a mother is no excuse , my mother and father were the best yet they still for got one thing I was half cherakee it was the medicine man who taught me all i know , but he also taught me that family is like a tribe we stick togetehr and if one is hurt we help no matter what were doing or where we are." he spoke what he had been told many years ago by the medicine man.

"Well, that's what we'vve always believed, and we aren't Cherokee. I think they really have a hard time that Daddy and I are very close. Well, I'm not in the mood to change that just because a couple of lifetime sentenced convicts don't understand it and don't like it. It really has played out that if it weren't for Daddy, Rob would still be getting away with being thoroughly evil, and Jen would still be getting away with murder literally. So, they both got what they deserve. I think Jen will have a far harder time there, though, and has a much better chance of reform than Rob does. With a little luck, he won't escape--ever. "

Brian looked at5 her "you sure about that " he said chukaling then listened as he heard her talk about jen adn rob " but whats to stop her shoting you , she did it to rob even if it was to rid us of a potions suplier" he looked at her " I hope nether do" he said knowing he sounded harsh "for your sake and abbys , for now thats the best place for them." he stood up seeing a smal blue medow flower he asked it if he could pick it and it said he could , picking it he walked back over to Khaat " here to remind you of now , a new memory " he said sitting down once more next to her, "so you want to sit more or are you ready for home" he asked fwling that the weather ws on the turn for a split second he looked at Khaat but hen remembeed she had no magic , this was natures doing.

"No, I'm not sure about either of them. I'm just giving them the benefit of a doubt. They both really could be purely rotten to the core. But I am not going to let whatever they throw at me upset me or thow me off. They will try theiir best, or, more than likely, they will be so self consumed that if they are not talking about themselves, they won't give a rat's behind about anything anybody else has to say.

"And, yes. I think I have been sitting long enough. I know Brian has his anxiety about me walking, but its a long walk through the Azkaban towers. I need to be able to stay on my feet. I need the practice....

She paused because she had shivered. "Do you feel something? I'm not magical, and yet something doesn't feel right to me."

steven looked at her "yes, its an ill wind" he said " probaly you talking about those two " he said with a chuckle "ok we'll walk abit then i'll aperat you back to your room for a rest, deal?" he asked looking down at her as he slipped his arm orundf her waist "like I said before no funny business " he said smirking as he made teh blanket fold its elf and then disapear as he walked her down the lightly sloping hill back to the farm "just say when you've had enpoph and I'll take you home" he said knowing it wouldn'tbe till she ws aoll most calapsing.

She was determined to see how far she could go. She made it most of the way back before she realized she was starting to sweat and getting out of breath. She started to feel that the strength was leaving her legs now. "Okay. No more. So close and yet so far. Maybe tomorrow I'll make it all the way back. I give in. Take me back." She had not realized she was already gripping his arm for support and strength. "I really do have to do better than this. The distance is much greater at the prison. I have to hold up. I do not want to give the wizarding world any more fodder for the gossip columns."

Steven smiled "hey you did well, you can say that much" he froaned "and since when dose khaat Lupin worry about such things" he said to her " gossip columns are just that gossip " he moved to hold her once more around her waist " no ideas this is just how I do it " he said chukaling as he aperated her back to teh house "honey were home!!" he shouted as he chuckled helping her to teh bed to rest

Khaat laughed out loud when Steven shouted when they got back inside. Then she looked at him. "You know, you're right. Lupins never worried about press before. Remus taught us all that because of the hell he had to live through. I never took it seriously before. I think it makes a difference because of Abbey. I do care what the world says about her. But I'm sure my parents and Remus must surely have thought the same things, felt the same way, and eventually had to come to terms with the fact that in the end, the best they could do was to teach me how to not let it get to me. I suppose, if I were wise, I'd take a lesson from Remus on this and simply decide to treat Abbey the same way. I surely never suffered from it.

Brian stopped in. "How did she do, Steven?" He watched Steven tuck her back into bed for an afternoon rest. "I think you're both just in time. I feel a storm approaching. Could be a nasty one. You didn't see Archangel out there, did you? He really should get back in the house soon. This is one he should not be out for."

Khaat looked at Steven, concerned for her beloved bald eagle.

Jack Black Heart wrote:jack seeing them all go into the kitchen he moved up stairs to check on abby , he could not help but smile at seeing emmy with ehr "she all right, emmy isn't it , Im jack , jack black heart freind to the Lupins , well I guess we all are " he stepped into the room and walked over to the Crib looking down at Abby " I rember when andrew was her size, they say when there small they brake your arms but when there older they brake your heart , well she will be a heart braker to other boys thats for sure" he moved a small soft toy to the foot of the cot "better safe than sorry" he said softly asheloked at her with a soft smile " you ok, I noticed nobody asked about how you were?" he knew what it was like to be not noticed and didn't want her to feel that way .

Emmy look at Jack and smiled. "Yes it's Emmy, and nice to meet you I heard so many good things about you."said Emmy giving him a soft warm smile. "Well... I don't know Khaat, but I know Robert and he's a very wise man."said Emmy softly. Emmy chuckled at his statment. "Yes very true indeed, but she'll be just like her mother."said Emmy smiling down at Abbey. "Yes better safe then sorry, I wouldn't want anything to happen to her!"said Emmy looking around for anything else that could harm Abbey. "I'm ok thanks for asking, don't wworry about me it's Abbey and Khaat we have to worry about."said Emmy softly. "Well I'm quite tired so I think I'm going to go to bed, night Jack sleep well."said Emmy taking the baby montoring radio with her and gave Jack a soft warm smile and headed towards her room that was down the hall.

The next morning Emmy woke up refreshed and ready for a new day that was ahead of her. As she went down for breakfast she ate her breakfast and went back upstairs to check on Abbey. As she seen she was still asleep she decided to go for a walk and get some exercise and some fresh air for she really needed it. As she was walking she seen an eagle that looked like it's wing was wounded. Not liking animals or anyone hurt Emmy went towards it and looked at it. "I won't hurt you, I'm here to help you."said Emmy softly petting it's beak. Picking it up Emmy went back to her room and laid it on her bed and fixed it.

After fixing the eagle as much as she could she figured it was Khaat's eagle for Robert told her she had a owl named Archangel. "Come on Archangel, lets take you back to Khaat."said Emmy as he flew towards her and landed on her shoulder. As she headed towards Khaat's room she knocked softly on the door and entered. "Here's Archangel Khaat, I had to fix his wing for it was badly wounded by accident of coursebut he's all better but I don't think he's going anywhere for awhile."said Emmy softly.
