Chapter Thirty-Five

At the safe house:

It was one hell of a nightmare for Serenity as she went through detrox, she would be curled into a ball because of the pain in her abdomen, or screaming at the top of her lungs that everyone that they were either dirty bastards and son-of-bitches because they wouldn't give her drugs.

Bakura be there by her side, because he had promised to help her and he wasn't going to break that promise.

Marik and Bakura were so angry with that bitch that called herself Serenity's mother, because she was responsible for getting this poor young girl in this condition, hell if it help they'd take that bitch out to that institution and let the shadows consume her.


Roland wanted to take Joseph to see his sister, but Matthew would tell him, “He can't see her this way, god Ro, I've helped friends through this, but this poor girl is really having a rough time.” Roland then said, “If you need me just let me know.”

It has been a month since they first brought Serenity to Domino and she was nearly through the detox, Bakura, Marik, Matthew, Daniel, James and of course Stacy were nearly all spent, but they weren't giving up, in fact they all were staying their because they knew that this young girl was really trying to kick this.

Today Roland was going to take them to see Joseph’s sister, he told them, “Remember that your sister has been through hell and back trying to kick this drug habit, Joseph, you're sister is one of the strongest people I've ever met, and she deserves to know that you are there for her no questions asked.”

Joseph walked over to Roland and he said, “Dad, I love my sister and I'll always be there for her, she's here because of what our so called mother did to her, hell she's been through almost the same ordeal I've been through.

I want to tell her that I love her and that I'll always be there for her, why do parents think that they can do what they want to the children that they bring into this world, god gave us to them to take care of, to love and raise, not to abuse and try to kill.” Roland took Joseph into his arms, gave him a hug and kissed his head and then he said, “I've always asked my self the same thing.”

Seto went over and took Joey into his arms and he said, “We'll go see your sister, I want to let her know that she is now part of our family and that means that no matter what she'll always be loved and cared for.”

When Roland pulled up outside the house, Seto opened the side door and as he and Joey got out, Roland was already at the door, he knocked and when Matthew opened it and saw who it was, he said, “She's a lot better today.”

They walked inside and when Joseph saw his sister sitting on the floor playing dominos with Bakura and Marik, he softly said, “Rene.” She dropped the domino that was in her hand, looked up and saw her brother standing in the doorway.

Serenity got up off the floor and said, “Big brother, is it really you?” Tears ran down her face as she ran to him, he held her in his arms, Joey said, “Yes it’s me.” She touched his face and then as tears ran down their faces she said, “I don't want to go back to that hell hole ever again.”

Joey then gave her another hug and he said, “Rene, you're here for ever, we're both part of this family.” She looked at Roland and then questioningly at Seto and Joey smiled and said, “I know that you know Roland well this is his son Seto.”

Seto went over to where they were and he said, “Welcome to our family, we're all a little wacky but that that's what makes us so special.”

Serenity smiled and then she said, “Joey, these people here helped me fight to get and stay off the drugs that that bitch got me hooked on.”

Joseph knew Bakura, Marik, Matthew, Daniel and James, but he had never meet Stacy. Stacy stood about five foot, she had a small built, but she had a temper to go along with her red hair, and as Joey went over to thank her for helping his sister, when she shook hands with him he said, “Thank you for being here for Rene.”

Stacy smiled and as she shook hands with him she said, “I loved being here to help your sister, she is one of the strongest people that I've ever met, who was trying to get off drugs, she fought a good fight and wasn't afraid to ask for help.”

Then Serenity went over to Bakura and Marik and said, “Joey if it weren't for Bakura and Marik here, I know that I probably would be dead now, Bakura promised to help me kick my habit and Marik said that he'd help too.”

Joey walked over to where they stood and he held out his hand and said, “Thank you for giving me my sister back.” Bakura said, “Your sister didn't deserve the life that she was given, I just wanted her to be able to be a young lady again. That's why I promised her.”

Then Roland walked over to Stacy and asked, “When do you think she can leave here and come live with us at the Manor?”

Stacy said, “She can leave now, it'll be hard the first few months, you'll need to keep her mind stimulated and not let her think about drugs, she'll be alright as long as she has the support of all of you and the love of her brother, I don't see her getting on drugs again.”

Roland then said, “Tomorrow we can all go to the Mall and Serenity can buy some new clothes, then next week, Joseph can go with her and get her registered for school.”

Serenity tensed up when she heard what Roland said, he noticed this and went over to her and said, “Hey, if you're going to get better, then you're going to have to face things that are going to scare the hell out of you.”

Joey walked over to her and he put his arm around her and said, “I'll be here, all you have to do is ask.” She hugged him and then she looked up at Roland and said, “It's been a long time since I bought any new clothes.”

He smiled and said, “My fiancée, loves to go shopping, she'll love to take you so that you can pick out what you want to wear.”

Serenity then said, “You mean I get to pick what I want to wear?” Joey then spoke up and said, “As long as what you buy isn't to short or to tight, then yes you can pick out what you want to wear.” She hugged him and then she said, “I'm going to love living here.”

Then Roland said, “Who's hungry?” Everyone said, “We are.” Roland laughed and then he said, “Lets get out of here and go to the Manor, I get Greta has something cooking that we can eat.”


Stacy said, “I guess I'd better get my things, I want to be home before dark.” Roland said, “You're coming with us, if you have to you can spend the night and leave in the morning.” She said, “You've got yourself a deal, hey come on, I'm hungry.”

Laughing, they all walked outside and climbed into the Hummers, Roland drove one while Matthew drove the other. They drove to the Manor, when they got there, Serenity looked out the window and said, “This is a mansion, who lives here?”

Seto smiled at her and he said, “We do, this is your new home.” Then the door opened up and this woman came out, she smiled at everyone and when she saw this beautiful young woman standing beside Joseph, Greta came down the steps and said, “Welcome home.”

Joseph put his arm around Greta and she said, “Rene this is Greta, she's the best thing that ever happened to this family. She welcome me into this home without any questions, and now I consider her my mom, and Roland is my dad, they'll be your new parents if you let them.”

Serenity then said, “But I'm not even their child, how can they fell this way?” Greta then put her arm around Serenity and said, “Our family isn't your normal family, we love everyone here and we never put anyone down because of their background, so if you'll let us, we'd love to have you as our daughter.”

Serenity smiled through her tears and she said, “I'd love that.” Then this young man came over and said, “My name is Mokuba, I'd like to welcome you to our family.”
