Be my baby. The words that rung through her ears repeatedly. They were the last words that she could remember hearing before the attack. She could no longer deny it. They were what she wanted to hear. What she had longed for.

All around her was darkness. She couldn't make out anyone around her. Moments before the room was filled with people celebrating. Bringing in the new year together.

She looked down. Blood had spilled onto her dress. Her heart swelled with longing. No sound came out of her mouth. Her throat raspy. The noise of nothingness filled her ears.

Her hands longed to be wrapped in his again. The whole night she had waited till this very moment to tell him the truth, that she was in love with him. To hold him, kiss him, ask him to be hers.

But that was all gone now. It was complete darkness. There was no movement around them. All she could remember seeing was streaks of light be flashed around the room. No one realizing they were in danger until it was too late. Peoples slow reaction to grabbing their wands from the nights festivities.

All the precautions has been taken to protect everyone she loved dearly. They were in one of the safest places, yet he had struck there.

Tears weld in her eyes as she slowly walked towards a slight noise she heard. Wand outstretched before her, she was afraid to produce light as she did not know what was before her. If she would ever lay her eyes on the most beautiful boy again.

Slowly she found her way through the rubble. Hoping to find the one in her dreams. Tears fell down her face as noise appeared to be getting louder and more dominant in the room. A cry for help was heard from across the room. Her ears filled with joy as she recognize the voice as one of her friends, then another and another. The ones she held dearly to her were responding.

"Lumos!" She cried. "Is everyone okay?"

All around her people responding, copying her movements of casting light in the room. Her friends walked towards her. She looked around at the familiar faces. "Where's.... Where's..." Her voice caught in her throat. She looked up into the eyes of his best friend.

"Sirius?"

He looked down. "I don't know. It was so fast."

She turned around. "James! JAMES!"

All around her faces turned to her. "Has anyone seen James?"

People appeared to look around. "Has anyone seen James Potter?" She repeated. No one responded with the answer she desired to hear.

"I think he went after him." Sirius told Lily pulling her into a hug. "I'm going to find him. You stay here. Stay safe. Okay?"

Lily looked up at the seventeen year old boy. Tears were in his eyes. There was no longer the sparkle and playfulness that she had grown to love in them. "No. I'm coming with you."

"Lily.."

"Sirius. You can't go by yourself. And I'm the best witch in our year. I'm coming with you."

Sirius couldn't deny this.

The two left the group out the door into the unknown ahead of them.
