Here we go again! This is the sequel to Behind The Brown Eyes. If you haven't read the original story, I recommend you start with that :)

Melaina and Eli are both 10 now and in the 5th grade. Not much has changed since the end of the last story, Blake is still out of the picture and Olivia is single.

Let the adventure begin...

"Mom! Where is my ipod?" Melaina asked, frantically looking through drawers around the house.

"Wherever you put it last." I answered, trying to put her lunch together.

"Ya, thanks." She replied sarcastically. I rolled my eyes and closed the brown sac, setting on the counter.

"I never said I would be helpful." I stated, laughing as she grabbed her backpack and walked into the kitchen to get her lunch. She stuffed it in her backpack and I walked her downstairs to meet Kathy and Eli; Her ride to school.

"Bye, mom." She said giving me a quick hug.

"Have fun at school, don't chase too many boys around." I said, jokingly as I hugged her and kissed her forehead.

"I don't have a crush on anyone!" She insisted, walking out to the car. I waved goodbye as Kathy drove off with the kids. Now it was time for me to go arrest some criminals.

I walked into the precinct, two coffees in hand, and sat down at my desk.

"I see you have two cups there.." Elliot pointed out. I rolled my eyes and passed one over to him.

"For me? Oh, you shouldn't have." He said, nonchalantly.

"You're right, I'll have both." I said, reaching out for the styrafoam cup.

"No, no, it's okay. I don't mind taking it off your hands." He smiled, pulling it back towards himself. We sat there for a few minutes looking over paperwork when a call came in about a ten year old girl. We looked at each other and we both knew that neither of us were looking forward to this case.

"Benson and Stabler, special victims." I said as we walked into the hospital. A cop was waiting for us at the entrance

"Kyra Robbins, 10, probably raped but she won't say a thing. Her parents are on their way." I knew this was going to be hard on everybody. Kyra is in Melaina and Eli's class, one of the nicest kids I know. We looked into the window and saw her sitting at the edge of the bed with her feet dangling. Elliot stood back as I slowly walked in. I saw the look on her face and was reminded of what Melaina looked like when she was attacked; Completely blak with a straight line of tears running down her cheeks. She looked up and I knew that she recongnized me.

"You're Melaina's mom." She whispered with no emotion. I got a little closer to her but didn't want to scare her.

"You're right, Kyra, I am a police officer and I was wondering if you could tell me what happened today." I said, bending down to her level. She simply shook her head no and looked back at the ground.

"Okay, did you get hurt today?" I asked, sitting down next to her. She laid her head on my arm and began crying, I could feel her nodding against me.

"How did you-" I was about to ask a question when I was interrupted by two frantic parents, Stacey and Anthony, running in the room. Kyra tightened her grip on me and wrapped her arm around me, obviously scared from the sudden noises. I was getting ready to stand up when her mom slapped me, her ring being upside-down and catching my cheek.

"How could you let this happen? You are supposed to protect us!" Shee screamed. Elliot ran in and got Stacey calmed down then made his way back to me, catious of how Kyra would react.

"I'm fine." I told him as Stacey made her way to Kyra and took her in her arms.

"We'll give you a minute." Elliot said, leading me out of the room. I knew he was only doing this for me because we don't usually leave the room just after getting there. We saw the bathroom across the hall and stepped inside.

"You okay?" Elliot asked, wetting a paper towel and gently pressing it against my cheek.

"Ya. Ya, i'm fine." I said, putting my hand over his and pressing down harder on the paper towel. We got the cut to stop bleeding and made out way back to the hospital room.

Melaina's POV

"Mel, you're mom is working until late tonight so you're spending the night tonight." Mrs. Stabler told me, I wasn't the least bit surprised.

"Kay." I said, sadly. I haven't gotten to spend any real time with my mom in forever. She is always at work or sleeping.

"Don't be upset, Mel, I don't get to see my dad very often either." Eli said to me.

"At least you have a dad. At least you have a family! See this," I yelled, pointing to the scar on my forehead, " I got that when my dad shoved me onto broken glass! So stop acting like you've got it so bad. I-"

"Melaina, calm down. We don't need to go remember what happened, ok?" Mrs. Stabler said calmly.

"Fine." I said, folding my arms and slouching back in my seat.

And there is chapter one!

So just like before, all reviewers will get a shout out in the next chapter :)
