A/N: Hey guys this is my first Marauders story and my first story on here. I just wanted to explain a bit about how I am structuring this story as it seems a bit confusing at first. I know. So for this story I am setting it in two different points in time. First the Prisoner of Azkaban year and to the Goblet of Fire or Order of the Phoenix year. I can't decide how long this story will be at the moment. And the second time period; The Marauders Era. From the beginning of their schooling to the death of Lily and James. This will be shown by a flashback. For every chapter set in the present (Prisoner Of Azkaban to Goblet Of Fire/Order Of The Phoenix era) there will be one set back in the days of the Marauders. Some of the plot of this story will be changed but not enough for it to be called an AU. I hope you enjoy this story and feedback is appreciated.

1-Soon
It's time to return, I'll see you soon.
I have an opportunity and I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to be the one to kill him and I need your help.
He's out and I am going to find him.
Filthy traitor.
I can't reveal my identity to you now, professor but you'll find out in time. Perhaps you already know.
I'm the one who went missing.
The one presumed to be dead.
Together we can get rid of him. Avenge our friends. Avenge them for us, and Harry.
I trusted him when I was at my weakest point and he betrayed me and the Potters. They tortured me that night. Until I pretended to be dead. I would rather die than betray my friends.
I went to warn them; James, Lily, Harry. They tried to get the location from me but they couldn't. The truth is I didn't know where they were. Not for certain. Soon after I pretended to be dead one of his servants came in and they suddenly left. Like I said I tried to warn them. I really did but it was too late. I found someone crying over their bodies. An old friend to be exact. Black is the reason they're dead. Even you know that Remus.
Don't ask questions I can't reply. All I can tell you for now is I've been away. Hiding in China. The Wizarding part.
And now I'm going to rescue him. Tomorrow at 10pm.
Hopefully you will receive this letter soon. Hopefully you know who I am and how I know what I do. China isn't completely out of the loop you know.
Don't try to stop me Remus. I'm angry. 12 years of anger has been building up inside of me and I'm ready to blow. I'm angry like no other. He is going to feel my wrath. Hopefully you remember just a slight part of that from Quidditch. What he has coming is 10 times worse. S.O.B is going to regret what he did.
See you Soon - T.M.M
The Missing Marauder.
The letter was picked up by the silver tawny owl and it soured off into the distance.
