Silence... And then she heard the rain pouring down on her. Timothy layed before Jude, staring up at her. He pushed Spiveys lifeless body away from himself.

Jude just stood there, the revolver still in her hand and pointing at them. Timothy pushed himself up and walked slowly towards her. His heart ached to comfort her. She was just dressed in underwear, her ripped gown and his jacket.

She looked lost, frightened and shocked. He took the revolver carefully, avoiding to surprise her. Jude looked at the weapon and followed it with her eyes as Timothy took it. "It's ok, he's dead Jude. He can't hurt us anymore..."

Jude looked up at him and started to cry hard. She killed someone, it was in self defence but she killed someone... Timothy hugged her and tried to give her comfort. "You had to do it or he would have killed me."

He held her trembling body. He promised her that no one will ever hurt her again but he failed her. Timothy started to kiss her forehead and then her cheek. He stopped and looked at her tear strained face. "I love you and I'm sorry that it happened!"

Timothy kissed her lips softly. Jude could only think of his declaration of love. It had been years that someone told her that and she thought she would never hear these words again. She deepened the kiss, pushing her tongue inside his mouth. Timothy groaned and held her tighter. Their tongues played with each other and he started to caress her naked back. When he reached her side, Jude moaned in pain and ended the kiss.

"What is it my love?" Timothy moved one step back and loocked at her side. He couldn't see anything in the dark and touched her side. Jude flinched and move away from his fingers. "It may be broken, I can't carry you like this..."

Jude nodded and started to walk away with him. She couldn't stand to see the dead body lying before her anymore. Timothy looked around to make sure they didn't left something behind.

***

As they reached his car, Jude was exhausted. Timothy opened it and she sat carefully down, trying not to hurt her rips anymore. He closed the door behind her and picked a blanket out of the trunk. He got in the car, closed his door and took a deep breath.

He remembered the blanket and layed it upon Jude. "I'm so sorry... I didn't want you to get hurt again." Timothy couldn't stop his tears forming in his eyes.

Jude looked at him and smiled despite her own tears. "It wasn't your fault Timothy." She kissed him softly. "Let's get away from this place..."

***

They drove for nearly an hour until they came to a small Motel. Jude fell asleep as soon as they reached the road. Timothy could only hope that she would stay in their room until he will come back.

He didn't know excactly how long it would take to leave the church and Briarcliff. He had packed clothes, medicine and something to eat for Jude, everything was already stored in the Motel.

"Jude, wake up, we're there." Timothy kissed softly her forehead and stroked her cheek. Jude opened her eyes slowly and smiled. She felt safe with him on the lonely road and would have liked to drive with him for hours.

Timothy got out of the car and moved around to open her door. He helped Jude to stand without hurting her bruised rips any more.

They walked slowly towards their room and Timothy opened it. It wasn't very large but comfortable. Jude walked inside, still shivering and wrapped in the blanket.

"I think it would be the best if you take a bath to warm up." Timothy moved towards the bathroom to fill the tub. Jude just stood there and waited for him to return.

He walked over to the closet and took a big suitcase out of the bottom. "I already bought some clothes for you...". Jude smiled softly, he seemed to think of everything.

Jude looked in the mirror across the room. She couldn't remember being that old!? Her mind told her she was only 34 years old... She ran in the bathroom to get a better view of herself.

She traced the soft lines on her face and touched her hair, her locks still wet from the rain. Timothy moved behind her and realised that her memories were still damaged. She seemed to be shocked seeing her reflection.

He kissed the top of her head and stopped the water running into the tub. "Your bath is ready...".

Jude nodded and started to undress herself. She knew already that a lot of her past is still missing and decided to give herself time and to be patient. As she reached behind her to unhook her bra, she saw Timothy stare at her.

"You have already seen me naked, right?!" She was unsure for a second. "Yes but only two times before and... and you're so beautiful Judy." Timothy could feel his body react and tried to hide his excitement from her.

Jude turned around to face him. She let the bra fall on the floor and observed his reaction. Timothys mouth watered and he wanted nothing more than to make love to her... But he reminded himself of their situation.

"I love you but unfortunately, we don't have time for this. I need to drive back to Briarcliff to fix some things and I have to leave the church to be with you... Would you go away with me? Even if you will never remember our time together?"

He said it, he told her about his biggest fear. Timothy had tears in his eyes. How could he go on without her? Cardinal, Pope, nothing mattered to him anymore without her.

Jude smiled and kissed him softly. "I may not remember our time together but deep in my heart I know that I loved you and... I still love you. I will follow you wherever you want to go."

Timothy laughed and kissed her, opening her mouth with his tongue. He touched her not injured site and ran his hand up towards her breast. It wasn't what he intended to do but he was just human.

Jude moaned and pushed her body against him, feeling his desire against her stomach. "What about sharing the bath? You're shivering and I don't believe it's entirely my fault..."

Timothy smiled but stepped back. It would be the first time they would be intimate after she lost her memories. "I'm sorry but I need to drive back. I will just change my clothes and wait until you are settled comfortable in bed..."

"Why is it so important that you need to go there again?" Jude was frustrated, she could remember them being intimate and she wanted it again. She felt safe and couldn't wait to start a future with Timothy.

"You were a patient there. If we just walked out of there, everyone would search for us by morning. Please don't be scared now... I... I had to arrange your death. They won't find your body but a lot of blood and one person who is known to hate you, will claim to be your murder." It was a lot to take in but Jude nodded.

"Look, you don't remember much of your past but we have been friends for years. You hadn't been a patient until a couple of weeks ago. I will just tell them that it crushed me that I first lost you to insanity and then to death... This way they will let me go... hopefully."

Judes eyes widened "I got insane?"

"No, someone wanted you to be arrested. They arranged everything and as soon as I found out the truth I planned everything but then you got the electroshock therapy and I had to change my plan slightly."

It was so complicated and confusing, Jude decided she would just follow his instructions. "Ok, I will take the bath now..." Timothy nodded and kissed her head.

***

As he was dressed in dry clothes, Jude reappeared in the bedroom, wearing her new nightgown.

"I'm going now. Please stay here until I'm back. You have clothes and something to eat, the room is already payed. I will try to be fast."

Jude layed down on the bed and made herself comfortable. Timothy gave her an quick kiss but Jude pulled him back towards her, kissing him deeper.

He hated to go now but he had to. "I will see you later my love." Jude nodded but as soon as he was out of the room she felt insecure and frightened. Her stomach told her that something awful will happen but she tried to fight the feeling, hoping that everything went according to his plan.
