Chapter 2
Erda Oore
Reaching his drive, I walked slowly towards his door. I gathered all my strength not to cry and knocked on the weather-ravaged wood. I heard some rummaging around and then he opened the door. He took one look at me and ushered me inside out of the cold.
"Kia, what's wrong?" He asked.
Warmth enveloped me as Remus closed the door. I stared numbly at the wooden floor.
"Kia?"
I looked up at Remus' face. Kind amber eyes looked searchingly at me. A soft clomping of horse hooves came from the adjourning room.
"Remus, who is it?" a soft voice drifted out as a female centaur entered the room.
"KIA!" The centaur exclaimed rushing over to her distraught friend, turning back to a human in the process. "Oh Kia...what happened?" The once-turned centaur asked.
Trying to find my voice I replied, "Astarael...it's horrible...they...died...Sirius hates me..."
Not able to keep the tears from my voice I stopped, not wanting to worry my friends too much, as they would already be destroyed from the events of this night.
But they ran, tears like the blood from a deep wound, for this was what they mourned. I couldn't stop; sobs came, incessant and heavy. They stared at me worried and shocked.
Remus, forever logical, now turning to Astarael asked "Star, I need you to consult with Firenze and speak of the war on Mars, that might give us more of an idea of what happened. Obviously it is too hard for Kia to bear telling us now. Please go quickly, in the mean time I will try and comfort Kia and get some information on what possibly could have occurred."
Astarael sensing the seriousness of the issue transformed back into a centaur and kissed Remus goodbye. Enveloping me in a comforting hug
"It's going to be all right soon Kia, I promise. Promise me that you will be strong and hang in there until we find a way to make this better. Promise?"
Not wanting to betray my friend's trust, and knowing that I probably would, I looked down to the floor. Sighing she gave me one last hug and turned and galloped into the pouring, thunder-stricken darkness.
A few minutes after Astarael left, Remus knelt in from of me searching my eyes for an answer.
"Kia? Do you feel up to telling me what happened?"
He asked, obviously trying not to make me cry. I sighed and began my story as best as I could. I got to the part where Lily and James were found dead and he fell out of his kneeling position.
"Oh my god...Kia...they didn't...how did Voldemort find them?"
"Pettigrew...he betrayed us..." I replied looking at the blazing fire, my hatred burning in my soul.
Telling Remus about Lily and James seemed like enough shock for him, so I decided to leave out my quarrel with Sirius.
"I want you to tell me the whole story, Kiara." He said in a firm voice, as if he had read my mind.
Looking at him, confused, I continued on. Being sure not to stop, for if I did I was sure I would break down once again.
Nearing the end of my story, Remus stood and embraced me quietly repeating, "It will be okay Kia...It will be okay..."
Suddenly the door flew open and in walked a very distraught and very angry Sirius.
"Sirius!" Remus exclaimed, quickly leaving me to embrace his friend.
But Sirius, burning with rage and pain, flung the comfort aside. He stared at me, eyes a flame, filled with feelings he had never looked at me with.
"YOU!" Sirius yelled pointing at me. "Who do you think you are? Deciding things like that? I am Harry's godfather! In which, I am supposed to take care of Harry since something happened to Lily and James! Yet you let them take him..."
"SIRIUS STOP!" Remus said raising his voice close to a yell, while hanging on to Sirius' arm. Sirius yanked free of Remus' grip and walked over to me. Grabbing my face he turned me so I was staring straight into his eyes. For the pain he inflicted on me mentally and physically, I started to cry. I looked at him with complete hurt and sorrow as if to ask him "Why? Why are you doing this? Why do you hate me?" He opened his mouth to start to yell, and then he stopped and stared at me. For at least 2 minutes we stood in silence.
Then he turned away and whispered, "You are just as bad as the people who did this...you are dead to me now."
With that been said he walked past a gaping Remus and out into the rain.
