Chapter 10
Sirius was watching them with interest. He could clearly see how relieved James looked. It seemed like Moony was finally starting to piece the puzzle together. Unintentionally and even intentionally, they had given him more than enough hints. Well, maybe not, Remus looked just plain lost and maybe scared. His wand was still pointed at James' throat. If it had been anybody else he would have interrupted but he trusted Moony, even if he didn't trust him back at the moment.
He had escaped on top of the chandelier as soon as he had heard Remus opening the door. From on top of it, he had the perfect view on what was happening beneath him. The old chandelier was also pretty comfortable for an oversized lamp and could hide him fairly well.
"Who are you?" Remus asked and Sirius just wanted to bang his head against a wall. Wasn't Moony really supposed to be the smart one? Sirius shook his head. Maybe he was just too shocked so that was the only thing he was able to come up with.
"Really now?! How blind have you become..." James muttered under his breath and Sirius had to strain his ears to catch the words, and then force himself not to laugh. "Well, who do you think I am?" James asked with a smirk completely unaffected by the wand pointed at him.
"You're not Jamie Petterson, if he even exists!" Remus said with narrowed eyes watching James' every move. It was quite amusing to watch, actually, as Remus was never one to take action like that.
"Correct and incorrect!" James said with a broad grin. "Well, he certainly exists in some way since I created him but he is only a small part of me, if that makes sense." He tilted his head to the side slightly looking straight into Remus' eyes. Sirius chuckled soundlessly.
"Are you Sirius Black?"
Sirius barely managed to suppress a laugh this time. Really now, he wouldn't use a disguise like that. And why should he duplicate James scars onto his skin? That made no sense. Remus' brain was probably trying to come up with the most logical explanations, even though this one was not very logical, and failing beautifully. He was probably trying to come up with an explanation not involving somebody who came back from the dead.
James didn't have to hold his laughter though. He was shaking with laughter. After he had calmed down and brushed the tears of mirth out of his eyes he stated: "I can be serious when I want to be but I am not that Sirius." He smirked, his eyes dancing in silent laughter. Remus didn't look very amused. "And I am not a Death Eater. Eating death would be slightly disturbing!" He looked up and met Sirius eyes and subtly winked towards him. Sirius grinned. "How long are we going to play this question and answer game?" James asked sounding thoroughly amused unlike Moony.
"Till I find out who you are since you're not telling me!" Remus replied angrily. After years of friendship, both James and Sirius could recognize the hint of desperation and borderline insanity Remus' voice held.
"Sorry. I kind of can't tell you." James said with an apologetic smile. "As much as I love breaking rules, if I were to break this one, I would probably end up six feet under again, and that is something I would like to avoid very much." Remus raised an eyebrow in question whereas Sirius grinned from atop the chandelier. Remus just stared at James, seeming completely lost in thought. A few silent seconds passed buy as Remus' brain processed what he had heard, Sirius was getting impatient and so was James.
"Want to get back to the question and answer game before your brain implodes?" He asked in good natured cocky voice. Remus actually glared at him.
"Show me your true appearance!" Remus said completely ignoring James' question. Not answering questions when asked was bad behaviour, Sirius thought with a grin. They had rubbed off on Remus after all.
"Oops, busted!" James exclaimed with a laugh as he held his hands up in surrender. "Should I or would you like to perform the spell?" He asked. Remus shook his head, a clear sign that he would do the spell. Before he could even utter the first letter of the spell, James interrupted him.
"Oh and promise me not to faint! One person already fainted at seeing me!"
Sirius wanted to scream that he had not fainted; it was all the fault of his body's condition after the years in Azkaban. He did not faint from seeing his dead best friend come back from the dead. He did not faint. He would have fainted had he come back as a brain eating Zombie. Probably. Or maybe he was a zombie which looked normal. He doubted it. But a Zombie James could be pretty useful. They could send him after Peter. But if he bit him Peter would turn into a zombie as well and a human Peter was more than enough trouble. He didn't want to think about what catastrophe a zombie Peter could cause. The end of Earth, probably. He still had to ask James if he liked brains but since he hadn't eaten his he didn't think so. He was pretty certain that his best friend hadn't come back as a Zombie. He should ask Remus about it later on. He was certainly getting off track. He shook his head like a wet dog trying to stop his train of weird thoughts. Lily really shouldn't have taken him and James to that zombie movie.
Remus acted as if the interruption had never happened. The room had gotten so quiet one could hear a pin drop. Only the spell Remus said in order to reveal James' true appearance interrupted the silence. Sirius watched as the blond hair slowly melted away. Instead of it, the usual mass of messy black hair appeared. The brown eye colour became transparent till it melted away completely. His eyes had become hazel again. His already white skin became even whiter, James being the whiter of the four friends if it weren't for hours under the sun playing Quidditch. A grin had overtaken his features and in a cheerful voice he said: "Yo, Moony!".
Remus staggered backwards. 'No. It is not possible, just not possible.' His head screamed at him. James was dead. He had seen him lying in his coffin before they had buried him in the cold ground forever. James was dead. The person standing in front of him could not be James. The dead stayed dead and did not come back alive. Yet this person standing in front of him looked and acted like James. It wasn't possible, James was dead. Dead.
Maybe the spell hadn't worked as it should. Maybe there was a disguise beneath the disguise. He knew that it sounded feeble. He couldn't let himself feel hope only for it to shatter in the end. James was dead. No matter how much he wished it was different. He said the spell over again, desperation really seeping into his voice. The person looking like James was still standing in front of him.
"It's really me." He said in a calm and soothing voice, the soothing voice that had calmed him so many times. It didn't sooth Remus this time, though.
"No! You're dead! It's not possible!" Remus denied. He had as good as screamed. He was starting to feel numb. "You're dead! Gone!" Remus choked out. The pain he had felt at his the loss of his best friends came back full force, trying to choke him, just like it had for days, weeks, months, the last time. The wound had been ripped open again and it bled like back then after that Halloween night. He could almost taste the bile on his tongue. Why would anybody do that to him? Is it just because he is a monster?
"I'm real, for Merlin's sake!" Remus mutely shook his head in denial. A light had entered his eyes. A light Remus had seen in Harry's eyes just a short while ago. It hurt. It hurt to see everything he had lost in front of him.
"All right, fine. If you don't believe me I just have to try and make you believe me!" James grinned. "If I told you about some Marauders' secrets you would just say the traitor told me." Instead of dimming, James smile only grew bigger. Remus couldn't quite follow what he was getting at. "So why not tell some secrets only known between Moony and Prongs!"
"When I visited you during summer break after second year, Peter had gotten the flu. How he managed to get one in summer I will never completely understand and Sirius wasn't allowed to come thanks to the dear Black family." James pulled a grimace and frowned slightly. "Your mum showed me something!" James' grin nearly overtook his face. "It was picture of you when you were about five or six." James grin became downright wicked. Remus was starting to look slightly alarmed. "You were standing completely naked on t-"
"Stop!" Remus cried efficiently managing to stop James from talking. He looked slightly pink in the face. Remus was pretty sure he had burned the picture after his mother had shown it to James. James had promised never to tell or talk about it to either the marauders or anybody else.
"Back in forth year you told me, when Peter was asleep and Sirius in detention for blowing up Snivellus' potion, that you had a little crush on a certain Ravenclaw perfect named S-" Again James wasn't able to finish his sentence. He playfully glared at Remus. He had put his hand over James' mouth in order to stop him from talking. If his face had been pink before, it now was beet red.
James hoped it was enough to make Remus believe him. After the red slowly started to leave his cheeks a look of realization dawned on Remus face. His eyes met James hazel eyes. Slowly he lifted his hand from James face.
"Prongs?" He asked in a choked whisper. James smiled softly and spread his arms.
"The one and only!" He stated. He saw the first tears roll down Remus cheeks. Before James could take a single step towards him Remus was clinging onto him and crying. He could hear Remus mutter his name over and over again. The mantra was only interrupted by his broken sobs. It tore at James' heart just like back then, after that night which destroyed more than two lives. He had broken down just like now when he heard. Life had been harsh on Remus, it only got worse after his death. He hugged Remus close to him, starting his own mantra. He told him over and over again that he was here and that he was not going anywhere. He repeated the words till Remus sobs subsided and his breathing slowly evened out. Remus had lost all of his friends in one night. It had been horrible for him. The nightmares he had before the full moon had gotten worse. After he woke up and realized that it had been no nightmare and he had indeed lost all his friends, he broke down. He had become all alone in a world that treated werewolves horribly. He had nobody left after he had lost the Marauders. It broke James' and Lily's hearts regularly as they silently watched him.
"You don't know how frustrating it is to be dead and only be able to watch but never to touch, being unable to help. Lily and I couldn't do a damn thing!" James said as bitterness entered his voice, a bitterness grown in the last thirteen years. James looked upwards and met Sirius' eyes. The next words were also meant for Sirius.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry to have left you all alone and I'm sorry for being unable to do a damn thing!" Remus still hadn't looked up but he shook his head. There was nothing to forgive. Just like Sirius, James thought he had done something that needed forgiveness. He saw Sirius' smile and shake his head as well. He silently mouthed the words 'you're forgiven'. James faintly smiled.
"We could only watch. I had to watch my brother's pain, your pain and my son's. I had to watch you nearly rip your own heart out during the full moon after Halloween." James couldn't keep the pain out of his voice. Remus winced slightly. It was barely noticeable but James noticed. "I'm not allowing any more pain to befall the Marauders. It is going to change now since I am back from the dead!" He said with a lighter note towards the end. He could hear Remus chuckle quietly. He released his iron hold on Remus. Remus didn't step away from him. Really now, everybody who found out about him coming back from the dead seemed to love listening to his heartbeat. Maybe he should record it and give it to them as a Christmas present. He knew that it was a way for them to make sure that he really was alive. He was really touched by how much people seemed to love him, and how happy they were for his return, but there were other things he had to discuss with his friend, so he did the one thing he knew that would annoy him. He ruffled through Remus' hair, getting an annoyed grumble as answer.
A crack resounded through the room. It sounded like something metal. He could hear somebody say "Oops!". He knew that voice, of course, it was definitely Sirius' voice. The next thing he knew a loud crash resounded as something crashed onto the floor. James and Remus both jumped backwards as dust and dirt started swirling in the air.
The chandelier had crashed onto the floor, obviously, James thought, slapping his face. It had literally been ripped out of the ceiling. There was even a considerably big hole inside the ceiling. Luckily it didn't break through to the floor above. On top of the fallen chandelier, a rather sheepish looking Sirius Black was sitting, or rather, lying. James had to fight the laugh trying to escape his lips. Instead, he settled for a smirk and took a few steps towards Sirius.
"I told you that you were too heavy!" James drawled as he held his hand out towards Sirius.
"My ass is in enough pain even without you being a pain in the ass." Sirius grumbled with a glare. He still took James' hand and let himself be helped onto his feet and started to dust himself off.
"You're no brain eating zombie, right, Prongs?" Sirius asked out of the blue. James blinked owlishly at him before he answered:
"No. At least I was no zombie the last time I checked." He had no clue how Sirius had come up with this speculation. Sometimes, rarely ever but they were still there, even he had problems unravelling Sirius' complicated and weird thought processes.
"Good" Sirius said sounding relieved. James just shrugged with his shoulders. James noticed out of the corner of his eyes the slowly darkening expression on Remus' face. "Ehhh...Padfoot it might be for the best if you left."
Sirius pouted. "Why?" He whined.
"Because he still has no clue and I don't know what he will do!" James pointed towards Remus.
"All right, fine!" Sirius exclaimed as he held his hands up in surrender. Just as he stepped out of the door, he turned towards them once more.
"But I will be back!" He said dramatically before he disappeared through the door. James just rolled his eyes before he turned towards Remus.
"Remus, please be quiet and listen before you pass your judgment" James said as he ushered Remus into the empty armchair. Remus had entered some kind of frozen state. Maybe he should move him closer to the fireplace. James made himself comfortable on the couch.
"It all started when we started suspecting a traitor in the midst of us... That sounds like a fairy-tale. Anyway, all the order members except for the marauders had been cleared. I didn't want it to be one of us." James said with a small sad smile.
He had problems getting the next words out. "We thought you were the traitor." He didn't dare look Remus in the eyes. "And I am so sorry for that. So bloody sorry! I didn't want it to be you, but you barely visited anymore and you had become so freaking distant! I now know why, it was because of your mission." James looked at Remus this time. He saw surprise fleet across Remus face. James chuckled.
"Being dead made eavesdropping a lot easier." He got serious again. "We know about you mission to infiltrate Greyback's pack. But we didn't know that back then. I knew that it was neither Lily, Sirius nor me. That only left Peter and you. Peter had always been clumsy, a horrible liar and not the brightest one in the bunch. We thought that he could never be the traitor. That left only you and Peter started bringing up all your strange behaviour, so..." He lifted his head and looked Remus straight in the eyes. "I'm so sorry, Moony!" Remus' eyes softened. He could see the anguish it caused James.
"It's all right. It is in the past, Prongs." Remus smiled softly. He had forgiven him long ago and right now he would forgive him for anything simply because he was alive.
"It's not all right but you have always been too kind." James said softly. "Sirius came up with this plan. You know how most of his plans are. This one was again slightly insane. He wanted to play the decoy. I protested but in the end I gave in." James' eyes held guilt and Remus visibly gulped. "His plan was to switch secret keepers." James saw Remus pale as his eyes pleaded him to tell him it was a lie. To tell him that he was lying. He couldn't do Remus the favour, though, not this time. "Voldi and his Death Eaters would have hunted Sirius believing he was our secret keeper. It was supposed to give us more time. I was against the idea but I still followed through with it. I regret it but can't change it now. We switched secret keepers." James said in a grave voice.
"Who do you think we choose as a secret keeper?" He asked Remus dryly. He didn't give Remus the chance to answer. "We choose Peter" James voice was filled with bitterness. "He was the traitor. Wormtail had been the traitor!" A bitter laugh rose from James' throat and resounded in the room. Remus felt sick. No, sweet, clumsy and kind Peter had been the traitor. He had led James and Lily to their deaths. The one he had held in high regards had been the traitor. Oh Merlin. That meant that Sirius had never betrayed them. He had never been a Death Eater. He had hunted Peter down because he was the traitor that had as good as killed his best friend. James' voice interrupted his thoughts.
"He told Voldemort where we were hiding. I bet he was happy being able to present his Dark Lord with our hide-out. Voldi came to our house on Halloween as you know. We were in the kitchen feeding Harry when he started crying. You remember that Harry almost never cried, right?" James asked a wistful smile gracing his lips. Remus fought against the lump in his throat as he nodded. "We didn't know what was wrong. We tried to sooth him but nothing worked. When we heard the door burst open we knew what happened and what was wrong." James had a faraway look in his eyes, as if he was going through the events of the night again inside his mind.
"I told Lily to run that I would hold him off." Another bitter laugh resounded. "I didn't even manage to hold him off for long. We had forgotten our wands. I only managed to block his way for a few seconds before he fired the killing curse and I was dead." James let a sigh escape his lips. Remus fought against the emotions swirling inside of him and the tears that were threatening to fall.
"The next thing I knew I was staring at my own dead body. It was slightly creepy." He said with a lopsided smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.
"Then I heard Harry crying. I ran up the stairs only to come face to face with Lily's dead body." James drew in a shuddering breath. Remus knew that James' worst fear was to see those he held dear dead.
"Then she appeared. Just like me standing next to her own dead body. I couldn't help but hold her close. When we tried to touch Harry, our hands passed through him over and over again. We realized that we were really dead, that we may have become ghosts." Remus watched James every move drinking in the fact that he was alive again and no longer dead.
"After that I heard that unmistakable roar of an engine. His baby had always been loud." Remus chuckled. He knew about which baby he was talking about. A baby flying in the sky and carrying one loyal mutt. "Sirius landed in front of our house. I tried talking to him as he made his way towards our destroyed house. I tried touching him only to pass through. He couldn't see or hear me. We could only watch." Remus heard the slowly familiar bitterness enter his voice.
"He saw my dead body first." James said in a pained voice. "Oh Merlin, Moony. It was horrible. I had never wanted to see him like that, I never wanted him to see my dead body. He was crying and screaming till his voice was hoarse and nearly gone. He couldn't breathe, and he couldn't let go of me." James shuddered and shut his eyes.
"I tried to touch him and hug him so many times. I wanted to tell him that I was still there. When he saw Lily he could no longer cry or scream." James fought to remain calm.
"It was like a light in his eyes had gone out, like he had lost the will to live. That's when he heard Harry crying." Remus fought against the tears that threatened to spill.
"It was like a small spark had been reignited as he took Harry in his arms, the only wound being the scar on his forehead. He hugged Harry close as he stepped out of the destroyed house." James could see the house, Sirius and his son in his mind. "Hagrid came with orders from Dumbledore to take Harry to the Dursleys. He had promised us not to take him there. Sirius knew and fought against the notion. He is Harry's godfather after all. But he gave in at the end. He gave Harry to Hagrid and he even gave his motorbike, his baby, to Hagrid. Hagrid flew towards the Dursleys. We didn't accompany him because something in Sirius eyes scared us. We had the feeling that something bad was about to happen." James sighed.
"We were right. Sirius went after Peter. He finally caught him in a street full of muggles. He didn't know that it was a trap." James' voice was bitter and full of regret for something in which he had no influence. "Peter started screaming that Sirius had betrayed us. We told no one that we had switched. Peter's words only enraged Sirius more. He raised his wand. But for once Peter was faster. Peter let the whole street explode with one spell before he cut off his own finger. He turned into Wormtail and disappeared into the pipes." James felt anger overtake him. Peter would pay for what he had done. He would pay for his crimes.
"Sirius started laughing, his emotions getting too much for him. I pleaded for him to run. He couldn't hear me. For once I wanted him to run instead of facing danger head on like usual. The aurors arrested him. I tried punching, kicking and biting them only to pass right through them. This time I was the one who screamed and cried himself hoarse as they threw Sirius into Azkaban without a trial." James voice was choked.
"From then on, the real hell began. Almost every night I sat beside Sirius inside his cold cell." His eyes looked towards Remus, his hazel eyes filled with so much unbearable pain for his best friend. No, for his brother.
"I had to watch as they nearly broke him. I listened to him screaming and sobbing for hours. I had to watch as he nearly pleaded for his own death!" James balled his hands into fists and the first tear rolled down Remus' cheek.
"I had to watch you as the loneliness ate you from the inside out. I had to listen to you as you screamed during the full moon without being able to help you or relief your pain! I had to watch as those bastards abused my son. He wondered whether or not Lily and I loved him. They never gave Harry even a single glimpse of love. Heck, they never even gave him enough food! I had to watch as Voldemort tried to kill my son for the third time. I couldn't take it anymore!" James released a deep breath, trying to control his emotions.
"That's when I heard their voices whispering inside my head. I thought I had finally snapped. They offered me a deal. I could come back for a price. A soul exchanged for another soul. I thought about using Voldemort's. I discussed it with Lily and I took the deal. So, here I am!" James spread his arms wide. Before Remus could say anything James started talking again. "The first thing I did was break Sirius out of Azkaban. I'm glad I did. He was in a horrible condition. He was only skin and bones. He had been unconscious for nearly five days. He will kill me for what I'm telling you now. He still has nightmares almost every night. He-"
"Where is he?" Remus interrupted James. It took him a few seconds to understand about whom Remus was talking about. A smile overtook his features.
"Where did he always go?" Remus didn't answer him but he rushed out of the room. He knew about what place James was talking about. James chuckled as he watched the door swing shut after Remus left. He needed a drink. His throat was dry from all the talking. He surveyed the room. Well, he maybe should repair the ceiling and hang the chandelier back to where it belonged first. Maybe. Lily would appreciate it.
oOo
Remus was running through the hallways not caring that he was doing what he always lectured the students for. He didn't care one bit as he rushed past the last people out during this time of the day. His mind was otherwise preoccupied. He had condemned one of his best friends to such a horrible fate. It wouldn't surprise him if Sirius wanted nothing to do with him anymore. He had even felt satisfaction in knowing that he was rotting in Azkaban. He was horrible, maybe just as horrible as what the people were saying about werewolves. Sirius had been innocent, bloody innocent. He had tried and often succeeded in hating him for the last years unjustified. He had believed what the rest of the world had believed to be true without asking Sirius even once. He had never been able to bring himself to visit him. He had never wanted to. He let out a bitter laugh as he ran up the stairs. Round and round he went, higher and higher. He should have known better. He knew first-hand how much it hurt to be condemned for something without people ever knowing the truth. Yet, he hadn't believed in Sirius. In the laughing, mischievous, loud and loyal Sirius. He had been innocent, he had been faithful. So freaking faithful and loyal even if it destroyed him. He himself had been the one unfaithful. He hadn't believed in his friend who had been there for him more than Peter had ever been. He came to a stop in front of a closed door. He felt his nerves fail him as he stared at the closed door. What if Sirius never forgave him? He certainly had never forgiven Sirius in the last thirteen years for crimes he hadn't even committed. He had to live with it if Sirius didn't forgive him and hated him. He fought against the lump in his throat. Still, he had to at least try to say that he was sorry. So very sorry. He took a deep breath and opened the door.
The cold night air brushed against him. It was still not dark enough for Astronomy classes to take place. The Astronomy tower was empty of students and professors. The sky had just begun to darken and the stars started to appear in the sky. He didn't dare look in the direction of the moon. Instead he looked towards the only other person looking towards the sky. He was sitting on the railing his feet dangling over the edge. Sirius turned around and grinned at Remus.
"Be careful or you will fall!" The words left his mouth automatically. Even though it wasn't what he wanted to say.
"I won't. No worries, Moony!" Sirius laughed before he noticed Remus' troubled expression. "What's wrong?" he asked as he got off the railing and walked towards Remus. Remus was looking down, his light brown hair hiding his eyes from view.
"I'm so sorry, Sirius!" He choked out. His voice filled with guilt. "I should have believed in you. I should have known better! I should have at least visited you even once! I am so sorry! I sh-"
"Stop it, Remus!" Sirius interrupted him in a harsh voice. Remus flinched. He could understand why Sirius was angry with him. He took a deep shuttering breath.
"I understand if you hate me and no longer want anything to do with me." He suddenly found his feet very interesting. He didn't dare look towards Sirius. He heard footsteps come closer towards.
Suddenly two hands were on either side of his head. They forced him to look up and straight into a pair of storm grey eyes. He felt pain explode on his forehead. He stumbled backwards and landed on the floor hard. Sirius had head butted him. Head butted. Remus blinked up at Sirius. His forehead was slightly red otherwise he looked triumphant as he towered over Remus.
"Don't be such an idiot, Moony! Really and you're supposed to be the intelligent marauder!" Sirius rolled his eyes. He squatted down so that he could look Remus straight in the eyes. "I told you to stop it because you don't need to apologize." Remus was about to open his mouth in order to protest but one look from Sirius silenced him.
"Do you really think I would stop being your friend?! You're more of an idiot than me and James sometimes! I spent all those years in Azkaban alone without a single friend. I'm not counting the dead one I couldn't hear, see or touch. Do you really think I would give up a friend now? I need you. I need Moony. Our subconscious, the bookworm, the chocoholic, the logical one, the one that can keep me and Prongs in line. I'm still fractured. I need you as my friend and brother." Remus knew that it took Sirius a huge amount of courage to admit his weakness. He hated admitting weakness. Remus' eyes turned slightly misty and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Still I'm so sorry Padfoot!". Sirius rolled his eyes and smiled.
"And I'm sorry as well", Sirius said softly. "For thinking you were the traitor! So how about I forgive you for believing that I was the traitor and for never visiting me and you forgive me for thinking that you were the traitor?" Sirius said as he got up. He held his hand out towards Remus who chuckled. He took Sirius hand and let himself be pulled to his feet. "All right!" Remus said with a smile.
"Good! Now we can stop acting like such bloody girls!" Sirius grinned. Remus rolled his eyes in amusement. "Let's get back to Prongs!" He grabbed Remus and dragged him along.
When they entered James office, they found him drinking Butterbeer on the couch. He had brought along two more bottles for them. He had actually repaired the chandelier like a responsible adult should. Remus bet that it was Lily's influence.
The three of them made themselves comfortable on the couch, Remus sitting in between James and Sirius. He soaked in the presence of his two best friends. He was happier than he had been for a long time. He was sitting between the two of them as they argued about Quidditch and felt like he could conquer the world. At that moment, he remembered something.
Without any warning he hit both of them in the back of their heads. They let out surprised yelps and Sirius nearly spit out the Butterbeer in his mouth. The two of them glared at him and both of them exclaimed at the same time: "What was that for?!".
Remus could barely hold back his laughter. He smirked and shrugged his shoulders.
"Lily asked me to!" He said with forgotten laughter dancing in his eyes.
A.N: I had a hard time with this chapter but I am quite satisfied with it. There were too many emotions to write about. It might not have been such a good idea to read the resident evil manga before I wrote this... As you may notice there are no flashbacks in this chapter simply because I was unhappy with the ones I started and I liked it without them. The next chapter might take a while because my lectures have started and they already gave me sooo much work. I will try my best to finish the next chapter as quickly as possible. And thanks for all the reviews up till now. I hope you enjoy this chapter and if you want leave a review. They are very much appreciated. Thank you for reading ^^
