Roman sighed as he leaned against the large,old oak tree in which one of the branches he sat upon.It's leaves fallen during the autumn waiting to regrow in spring.He kept thinking about his brother...Remus,He expected patton to comfort him yet whenever he was near by patton seemed to drift further.

He decided to just sing a song he and his brother had been working on...

"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree"

Roman laid his head against the bark,ironic that his dear brother suffered the same fate..

"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Where dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree"

"RUN JANUS,TAKE ROMAN AND GO!!"A 15 year old Remus called to his loved as the villagers forced the rope round his neck. Janus looked at their Lover,hardly being able to restrain his lover's sobbing brother. "I love you remus..." Janus muttered before scooping the shorter into his arms,Roman screamed and thrashed,trying to escape as janus ran sobbing quietly.Roman stopped when he saw them pull the stand from his brother's feet....

"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree"

Roman could almost feel the couple's presence with him as he cried,Janus had ended his own life a few years after remus' death.

"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Wear a necklace of hope
Side by side with me
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree"

Roman looked at the rope that sat next to him.

"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree..."

His hands carefully tied the memorized knot.

"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree..."

Roman tied the other end to the branch in which he sat...slipping the noose round his neck

"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree?
Where dead man called out for his love to flee
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree"

He let himself fall.

Roman's eyes opened,he was in the meadow where he and remus grew up,Their cottage was in the distance.

"Hey little red." A voice caused Roman to snap his head in it's direction.There stood his mother,in her early twenties,her Auburn hair tied into a bun and her denim overalls that where over her red flannel,still covered in grass stains like he remembered."Momma?" His voice was squeakier than he remembered."Cmon little red the others are waiting." She smiled,holding her hand out to him,He stood up realizing he was shorter. He was 15 again....

He grabbed his mother's hand and smiled. "Cmon little red mama's got your favourite cooking." She gave him her famous grin. Roman grinned back. "Race you to the house momma!" Laughed and ran ahead his mother close on his heels.

They arrived at the cottage both smiling goofily.Roman had gotten a flower caught in his hair,and more grass stains where added to his momma's overalls.Roman stared as he entered the house.His mama was at the stove,her black hair hanging at her shoulders as her tanned skin seemed to shine in the setting sun,she was wearing her usual floral summer dress and black flats. She turned to roman and smiled "Hola my little prince." "Hola mama" he smiled.

Roman nearly began crying when he saw two smiling faces looking at him from the dining table.His brother stood and roman was quick to rush into his open arms.

"It's ok hermano,you're home..." Remus said as the others joined the hug.
