I wrote a second chapter 12, so the first one starts here and the second one after the break.

There was a beautiful pool of water in the middle of a clearing. You could see the moonlight on the pool. Drinking from the crystal clear water were unicorns whose white coats gleamed. In the middle of the pool was a stone, it had a sword embedded in the rock. On the sword was thin golden writing that Lily couldn't make out.

"What is this place?" lily asked Suz.

"This is the sanctuary, it is the place where the sword has been kept since he gave it to us and prophesized the one who would call it back into the world," Suz answered.

"Who gave it to you? And who is this one who will call it into the world?"

"Why the Great founder gave it to us for keeping. We are the guardians. The one who will call it into the word has not yet been born," Suz said in an amazingly wise voice.

"Why have you brought me here?" Lily asked.

"We have brought you here because you are important to the one. We must keep you on the path, if you go astray, the one will not be able to bring the sword back into the world and therefore save it."

"What? How am I important?"

"You need to protect him. He's of great importance and therefore so are you. You must save his life," Suz replied.

"How?"

"So much to do, so much to do," Suz muttered before scurrying off leaving Lily all alone.

Lily sat down on a smooth stone near the pool and peered in. Her reflection appeared as it had always. The water rippled a bit. Lily looked up to see what had disturbed the water. Lily didn't see anything so she turned her attention back to the water. Instead of her own reflection, this time she was a boy. Well, he wasn't really a boy, but not quite a man yet, somewhere in between. It was like she was looking through a veil at something so it wasn't completely clear. Lily couldn't really make out his face. In his hand he was holding the sword that now stood across the water.

Lily realized the reason the picture wasn't clear was because she was crying. Lily didn't know why. She didn't know this boy. Then it hit that he reminded her of her father. The boy's eye color was not clear, but the look they held was warm and comforting just like her father's had been.

Lily's tears hit the water causing it to ripple again. The picture faded and was replaced with her reflection again.

"Lily!" she heard a voice call through the trees. "Lily where are you?!"

James came running through the trees. He saw Lily sitting on a rock. She looked up at him with her big beautiful green eyes full of tears.

"What happened?" James asked in a soft concerned voice as he took her onto his lap.

"He's gone James. He's gone and he's never coming back," Lily cried. She snuggled into James. He put his chin on top of her head and stroked her beautiful red hair.

"Who's gone?" James asked gently.

"My father, he's dead. Lord Voldemort killed him." This last statement filled James with rage. No one had a right to hurt Lily. No one had the right to make her cry. James realized that it was very important to him that Lily was never sad again.

"It'll be ok Lils. He's in a better place; he's in (put in place that has significance to your religion here.) It's not good bye forever, you'll see him again."

"He and my Mum were all I had left, they are the only ones who loved me," Lily sobbed.

"You still have me Lily."

"I know, but why? He had never done anything."

"It's ok, it will all be alright." Lily curled up on James' lap. "Shh, it will be alright, I will always be here for you." Lily nodded and buried her face into James' shirt.

A/N In this chapter, I rip off the whole King Arthur and the sword in the stone thing and I screw up Suz's character. I also introduce a prophecy. For all of you who read my Lily and James story, this story is following the plot line I set forth in that story. And for all of you thick people, Harry is the prophesied one. Suz isn't about to tell Lily that cause how would you like it if a gecko told you that you were going to have a kid with your current boyfriend and that he would save the world and you would die to save him? I personally would freak out and the guardians can't afford to lose Lily. Bet those who thought my story was getting predictable didn't see the gecko coming.
