Hello everyone! So I don't know who liked that last chapter but I really did...the next one is just going to be a filler chapter really about Sirius and what he was thinking while this was going on and then a little of James because like I said before James was Saralina's friend before he ever met Sirius so he had some kind of relation to her. Like she was his best friend when they were kids even though she had Sirius they kind of looked at each other as siblings. Also sorry for the horrible pun in the title...I just couldn't think of anything else.
Chapter 14 - A Sirius Perspective
What the hell was that!??!
I still couldn't get my mind over the fact that she had disappeared just like that. That in less than five minutes the reason for my whole existence was brought back to me and then snatched away so cruelly. I was borderline hysterical as I kneel on the ground staring at the place where she had disappeared from. In truth though, if I thought about it, I already had her. I was just too blind to see it.
I should have known. I should have seen her and known right away who she was but instead, I insist on being a dickhead and pushing her away. How could I have not known?! It surprises me that I didn't know who she was. Not just surprises me I guess but frustrates me...Even as I remember I realize that there were so many clues as to who she was that I should have known right away. The answer was staring me right in the face and like a complete idiot I ignore it.
I remember the first time I saw her when she walked into our compartment, she gave me this look (this is before I treated her like trash) like, she knew me. Like I should have automatically recognized her. Of course, I was so pissed that I didn't realize who I was staring straight at, and just lashed out because she didn't look like herself. Another thing I should have seen coming was the fact that she always compared me to "the way I used to be". That should have been a huge red flag, and I should have done everything in my power to figure out what she meant but instead I always brushed it off and said something hateful to her.
Her scars!! That horrible story she fed me that I should have seen right through. Like Lord Voldemort would follow up on anything without checking it out first.
The thing that should have tipped me off the most though was the mirror. Like Saralina would know anything about some muggleborn named Terry Gray getting attacked...I'm such a screw up...maybe if I had found out who she was in the first place, she wouldn't be gone. I could have protected her from her father and anyone else who tried to harm her. Of course she can kind of hold her own against some people but it would have made me feel like she was back in my life. Ah and the reason she isn't in my life in the first place. Her family. I hate them more than I think I hate anyone in my life. They are the ones that kept us apart all these years. They are to be blamed for every bad thing that has happened to either one of us in our lives together.
Of course the fact that I stopped writing her didn't help. I mean I just couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't hold onto a life I would never have anyway. I have always loved her and always will but she wasn't destined to have a future with a lowly wizard. She was the one that was supposed to make a difference for all of the Gods and Goddesses stuck on this earth. Saralina White is the one who was to open the gates once more for the other Godly creatures who had gotten lost on this earth and free them from the chains holding them back. I want her though...I want her for myself...and I will have her. I will travel to the ends of the world to find her and bring her back to me. To save her from Voldemort and his psychotic followers. I will do everything in my power to have her back in my arms and I know just the person to help me.
"James? I need your help."

Shit! I thought as I ran towards the place where she disappeared. No, this couldn't be happening to her. Not Saralina. How could I have not known this was her? She is the closest thing to a sister I have ever had. I remember the first time I had met her.
FLASHBACK
There was a pond on the expansive property of the Marko's at Marko Manor. On the bank of this pond was a majestic Willow Tree. Of course I wanted to explore but as the trunk of the tree started coming into view as did a tiny girl. She had beautiful black hair, but just underneath it was a shock of white. She was small, smaller than most people my age, but she looked flawless as she sat propped up against the tree, with one of those big poofy dresses she used to be forced into by her mother. She seemed to be making something with small black and white peices of thread. As I came closer and watched I saw small peices of metal materialize in her hands as she threaded the colors around them. They were completely unique, but I was just in awe how the little metal peices appeared out of thin air. It seemed to be a bracelet in the making. (on profile)
"Are you just going to stand there or are you going to come sit down?" She asked me. Even at that age she was a spitfire. She looked up at me with these gorgeous bluish, green eyes that held more age and wisdom than I had seen in my four years. I looked at her and smiled big as I took the seat next to her. She looked at me and grinned as her hands kept with their business.
"How do you do that?" I asked. She looked at me bemusedly.
"What do you mean?" She asked, "How do I do what?"
"Make that metal appear out of no where?" I looked as yet another metal peice popped into her hands, and she threaded over it like it was nothing. She looked down at her work and smiled proudly. She put her work down and looked at me.
"You mean like this?" She asked and looked down at her hands in concentration. Next thing I knew, there was a miniature figure of a lion made of complete metal. (on profile) "Is this what you were talking about?" She said as she handed it to me. "That's for you by the way. Since your favorite animal is a lion and all."
"Yes. That's exactly it. How did you know lions were my favorite animal?" It really did confuse me. Who was this girl and how did she know things and say them with such certainty?
"I knew because you have a lion on your shirt and also you are a Potter after all. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out really." Oh...I forgot about my shirt. Also of course she would know about the Potter lineage. Well she didn't seem stuck up about it though. I watched her as she smiled at me and then picked up the thing she was working on before.
"Who are you making that bracelet for?" I asked. She looked like she was putting alot of effort behind it and it was beautiful.
"My best friend in the whole world!" She beamed as she said this. "He's so amazing. His name is Sirius Black, I know he's a Black, but he's nothing like his family. Trust me! That's why I'm making it black and white. His name is Black, my name is White." She said this like it was the most simple thing on earth. I couldn't believe that she actually trusted this guy. I could tell that she was a really good judge of character though unlike the rest of her family so I decided to go with her on this one.
"I thought your name was Marko?" I asked a little thrown.
"My father's name is Marko. All of the women from the White family tree keep their last name to differentiate from the normal witches." That's when it hit me! White is the name of the Goddesses. "Ya know, Sirius is going to be at this banquet tonight. Would you like to meet him?"
END FLASHBACK
Wow without her I wouldn't have known Sirius. I look over at him and see his tear streaked face staring out from the place she disappeared lost in thought.
"James I need your help." I hear him call. I look at him and see that glazed look in his eyes get replaced with determination. "I know that Dumbledore will be able to find her, but when we get her back, will you help me keep her safe?"
"Of course Padfoot, she means the world to me too ya know?" I state as I look over through the forbidden forest.
"Just making sure." He says. He comes up to me and puts a hand on my shoulder, but I look over as something catches the light of the sun. I look over to the hand on my shoulder and to the black and white bracelet that stands out like a beacon of his love for her. That shines just as bright as her name.

Okay I know that last line was pretty cheesy but I think this chapter is cute. I'm glad I got part of James in there and I hope that I did him justice. I know they are supposed to be like four or five, but I thought since they are purebloods or whatever they are raised with impeccable manners and I just liked the was they acted :) Please review!!!
