Chapter 10:

That night, James Remus and Sirius waited for the teachers to be out of the way before they roamed the halls and out of Hogwarts. Under the cloak, Sirius had to changed into a dog because they were starting to outgrow one of there treasured items. Once they were finally outside, they breathed normally, but held their breath once more when hey saw Dumbledore behind them. Dumbledore passed them up, but turned and looked at the Marauders. The 3 boys froze. Dumbledore turned and passed them heading to the castle. When he was out of sight, the Marauders realized that they still weren't breathing yet and coughed.

"What's he doing in the middle of the night?" Remus asked.

"Dunno, James, check the map," Sirius said in his Animagus form.

"He's back in his office, pacing," James answered. "Let's get going then."

They boys were finally inside the Dark Forest and checked around making sure no one was there before taking off the cloak. James walked ahead followed by Remus and then Sirius. James stopped and turned to his friends and said ", this forest is too big, do you want to split up?"

"NO! We can't do that!" said Remus.

"He's right." Sirius agreed.

"Then let's go to the last place we saw it," James instructed.

"Yes sir!" Sirius said getting back to his human form with his hands in his forehead as if he were in the army.

"Then, March!" James said stomping his foot.

"Prongs, Padfoot, you two really know how to lighten the mood," Moony said chuckling.

""Hey guys, we're here," James said pointing to a corpse. "That's not very attractive."

The corpse they had seen was literally sucked out. It was wrinkly and his blood was gone. "I guess he came back and fed on the body. Why isn't it a vampire?"

"Prongs, it's amazing how you don't pay attention and yet you pass class," Remus said shaking his head.

"I guess I've been hanging around you too much, Moony. So enlighten us."

"Well," Moony walked to the body without any fear. "Look at his arms. The bite marks are there instead of the neck. When a vampire…." Remus was interrupted by Sirius.

"…Bites the neck, then the person transforms. It's off though because it's on the arm. Not many choose a place like that. But anywhere else in the body,…"

"Uhm…that's correct, Sirius. Also, the vampire will prefer where he or she bit the first time they were transformed."

"Sirius, what's up?" Why do you look like that?" James asked walking over in front of Sirius who was in deep concentration. Sirius stared at it and tilted his head. Then he walked to the body and picked up the arm. "Eww, Padfoot, put that down."

Sirius lay the arm down and exhaled. He stood up and smiled at his friends who were confused as to why he was smiling at an odd time. Sirius was beginning to see his dreams clear now. He knew why he woke up with blood. He knew who the people in his dreams were. He was remembering everything.

"Moony, Prongs, I know what's going on."

"You do?" The other two said at the same time.

"I never told you, but I've been waking up with blood every morning. I always clean it up before you see it. I haven't had any cuts on me either. It's just there. When I think about why, it always goes back to my dreams. There was plenty of blood there. And I'm going to show that you something that I've never shown anyone before. Only one person knows what it is." Sirius pulled his sleeve up and showed them bite marks. "And she's…"

"So who is it?" James asked waiting for the answer.

"It's, Angel." Remus turned around and shut his eyes. James had always wanted to expose her, but he realized how much it hurt Remus. "Common, we have to go." Sirius grabbed his friends by the shirt and led them to a small lake.

"Padfood, what's going on?" Remus asked.

"It's my sister."

"Sister?" Again, James and Remus said it together.

"Yeah. I let he feed on me the day she was bitten. But I don't know why I forgot about her."

"You didn't. Sirius, you talk in your sleep." James pointed out.

"Plus, you can't be sure. There are too many vampires," Remus put his hand on Sirius' shoulder. "How can you be so sure?"

"Because I am!"

"Sirius?" The three turned around to see Angel walking towards them. Remus backed away and James got ready to fight her, but Sirius held him back. Sirius then ran to Angel and embraced her. "You remembered me?"

"Why did you leave?!" Sirius said not letting go. "Why couldn't I remember you!?"

"I'm sorry. I couldn't let you live through your life believing that it was your fault."

"Wait a sec, so you let us live when you saw us?" James asked.

"Well, I didn't want to hurt you. You mean a lot to my brother."

"So…looks like Remus and Angel have one thing in common. Hey that means you can join us!" James exclaimed knowing that she wouldn't hurt them.

"Actually, I can't. I just came here to make sure you're ok."

"You can't leave again!" Sirius kneeled in front of her. Because he was very tall, he was up to her chest."

"There's another problem," Angel said. The three boys gave her their attention. "There's another person on the lose and you have to be the one to kill her, Sirius. If not, she'll be after you. She knows that she needs a mortal of her blood to kill her. She wants you out of the way just in case."

"Rockona Black," Sirius said. James too the Black book out and looked at it. "She's not going to be on there. She willingly became a vampire to be with someone she loves."

"I guess the other mark is Angel," Remus said taking the book away and scanning the page.

"He's right and Sirius looks like he's kicked out of the family. I guess Mon and Dad haven't changed."

"When is she coming?" Sirius asked.

"Well, she's already here. She's Mrs. Aries."

"You mean our DADA teacher?" James asked with a shock. "I knew that job was cursed!"

"Yes, I am." Mrs. Aries stepped behind Remus. James magaged to get away, but Remus was caught around the neck.

"My dear Sirius Black. You've grown a lot and I see you're a good looking boy too. And you, Angellous, you need to stop looking after your brother. It's supposed to be the other way around." Mrs. Aries said tightening her grip on Remus.

"Let him go!" Angel screamed.

"He's too different from you anyways. If you have a kid, it'll be a half werewolf and a half vampire. Would you really wand your kid to be that way?"

"This has nothing to deal with him, so let him go," Angel said gripping her fists.

"Fine. Ruin all the fun." Rockana said throwing Remus to a near by tree. "One good thing about vampires, we have super strength." Remus shook his head and tried to stand up. Angel ran to him and helped him up.

"Remus, are you ok?" Angel asked beside him.

"He's fine, but your brother isn't going to be for a while." Rockana sped up behind Sirius. "Speed. I love it."

"Sirius!" The friends exclaimed.

"Hmm, Sirius, didn't you say that you didn't want Angel to go away?"

"What…are…you up…to?" Sirius asked trying to breath.

"I'll spare your pathetic life if you join us. Think about it. You'll get to be with your sister." Sirius looked at Angel who was shaking her head 'no'. "You're not answering. I see that you're wanting to."

"Sirius! NO! Don't to it." Angel screamed.

"You stay out of this!" Rockana yelled at Angel.

"This is a fight between you and me!"

"No, it's not." Rockana closed in on Sirius' neck, but Angel sped up and kicked her sister far on the ground.

"Sirius, you can't do it. It'll ruin your life." Angel begged her brother.

"But, that means…" Sirius said breathing fast.

"I'll always be here for you. Don't worry. But I have to do it. You have a real life. You can be who you want. You have real friends that you can count on. And…"

"And I won't have you." Sirius said looking back at Rockana.

"You two need to stop this sappy stuff. It's quite annoying!" Rockana said getting up. "Angel, you're a vampire and remember how you got bit, because Sirius wasn't there to protect you!"

"He did protect me. I didn't become a murderer. He let me feed on him! He still loved me for who I am. As for you, I won't let you touch him!"

Ok, well, now we know what's been going on with Sirius. Other than that, I have an alternate opening that I'll post afterwards. K? Please R&R. Payce!
