RECAP:

The three seventh year Gryfinndor girls walked down to the kitchen, clad in shorts and tank tops on, as well as each had a mask on their faces.
"If I get caught looking like this, I'll seriously be SO embarrassed I think that I'd have to quit school and move to Turkey or something." Lily said looking behind her for the millionth time.

"Calm down Lily. Besides no one is around here at this time of night..." Megan tried to soothe her best friend down.
They slowly walked down the stairs into the unknowing darkness.

"Something doesn't feel right about this guys." Alisha whispered.

"AHHH!" Three strong arms went around the girls necks. The last thing Lily knew before she blacked out was that her kidnapper looked awfully familiar.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A sweet breeze swept across the ground of Hogwarts reminding all the animals that spring was soon to be upon them, and soon they'd have to awake from their hibernating state. As the moon disappeared behind the clouds, a few rays of sunshine came peaking out of the corner in the sky. A few animals scurried across the grounds hopping not to be seen by their predators, who were hungry from a long nights search.

James tossed and turned in his bed. He awoke and put his glasses up. His stomach flipped. He didn't know why. Looking over at his watch he saw that it was only four o'clock in the morning, meaning he didn't have to get up. But yet his stomach told him otherwise.

James jumped out of bed, grabbing some track pants that Lily had got for him, from a muggle shop over the Christmas break. He swept across his wooden floor to the door. Opening it he saw that the common room was still as night. No one moved. Slowly he crept down the stairs then up Lily's. He needed to just look at her. It always made him feel better.

He slowly opened the door, hoping not to awake the three girls. James peeked in, but saw but saw nothing. That wasn't right. They had told him, Remus and Sirius that they'd be in the head room tonight.
James shrugged and thought that they probably ended up in the Gryfinndor house. He decided that sleep was no longer an option, and went to grab his broom.

He went out the portrait hole, trying not to wake any of the portraits up, since at this hour they were not allowed to be wondering the hall ways. If he went left, he'd go down to the great doors and would be able to go outside. But James turned right, and headed down to the Gryfinndor common room. Deep down he felt that something was not right.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Drip.' 'Drip.' 'Drip.' A pattern of sounds filled the small room. The floor was hard like stone, giving anyone great back pains if they slept on it. The smell in the room smelt like, dried up blood, with sweat and just pure staleness. It was not a smell someone would want to smell very often. The only light came from a crack on the window where some wood had been broken off.
Three girls laid together huddled. Scared. And hurt.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

James ran up the boys stairs, to go bother his best mates. Right now it didn't matter that he had only left them four short hours ago, something just didn't feel right.

He walked in to see the three boys each sprawled out on their individual beds.

"Wake up!" James called. He looked at each of his friends, to see that no one had made a flinch. James knew that Remus would be the easiest to get up. "Remus, wake up! It's important."

Remus flicked his hand in James direction. "If it's about Lily again. I'm going to kill you. I was having a really good sleep."

"It is about Lily. And Megan and Alisha."

Remus sat up. "What about them?" He yawned looking at his watch. "Are you bloody insane Prongs, its four in the bloody morning."

James shrugged. "Their not in the head room. I don't know where they are. And something just doesn't feel right about it."
Remus got up. "Have you woken up Padfoot yet?"

James looked over at Sirius. "I thought it would be fun for the both of us to wake him up."

Remus got up. "Sirius! Wake up!"

Sirius rolled over.

James conjured up a bucket of freezing water.

Remus laughed. "That hasn't worked since fourth year."

"It's worth a shot." He dipped the water over Sirius' head. Immediately Sirius shot up out of bed.

"Cold water?" His friends shock their heads 'yes'. "That one hasn't worked since fourth year."

They all laughed.

"Not to be rude or anything. But what the bloody hell did you wake me up for? Not one of your rants about Lily, Prongs?"

James shook his head 'no'. "But it about the girls. I can't find them anywhere."

"Have you looked in the seventh year girls dorm?" Remus asked.

"I was going to once you all woke up." James picked his broom back up. "I'll be right back."

Sirius got up out of bed. "I'm going to have huge begs under my eyes, tomorrow."

Remus rolled his eyes and sat back down on his bed. "Wanna wake Wormtail up?"

Sirius laughed. "My pleasure." He conjured up twenty buckets of freezing cold water and poured it over the small seventh year.

Peter jumped up out of bed with a yelp. "What was that for?"

Remus and Sirius keeled over with laughter.

"We're looking for the girls. James thinks that their missing." Remus explained trying not to laugh anymore.

Just then James reappeared in the window. "Their not there. Both Alisha's and Megan's beds are unused."

Sirius grabbed the map. "There's only so many places that they could be. I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." With the words of mischief and a flick of his wand, the Marauder map appeared before them, on what used to be blank parchment.

Each searched for any sign of the girls. James stomach once again flipped as he realized not one of the girls appeared to be within the castle.

Sirius looked up his goofy grin gone. "Where could they be? It's four in the god damn morning." He reached across his bed to grab his pants. "We have to go find them."

Each Marauder agreed and headed down the staircase, into the unknowns.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The darkness overwhelmed the light. The heat was scarce, but it could be felt, slightly. She looked down at her body, it was bloody and she could barely lift her left arm without wincing. She turned to see her friend lying still on the ground, only movement was her rhythmic breathing. She sighed relieved that she was still with her. On the other side of her, her other friend sat up crying with her hands barried in her face.

It had happened so fast. All she could remember was seeing that face, it was so familiar. But the darkness made her mind blur on the image. She let a tear slide down her face, all she wanted was to be sitting in his arms. In front of the fire place. All she wanted was to see him again.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So our only real possibilities are either Hogsmede somewhere or the Forbidden forest?" Remus said looking over the grounds. "If they had been taken, then the culprits might not be able to get out of the grounds."

"Remus! It's fucking Voldemort! Of course they could get out." Sirius yelled looking around. "We're supposed to protect them. But now their gone. FUCK!"

James paced back and forth. "That's not helping Sirius!"

Sirius turned around about to retaliate when he realized that this was not the time to fight. "Sorry James. Just, god! If anythin' happens to any of them. I swear..."

"I know man." James turned to Peter. "Go get Dumbledore. We need him."

Peter scurried off into the castle in search of the Headmaster.

"I think we should go into the forbidden forest." James looked out over into the dark forest. "Sirius, we should go now. While Mooney you wait for the Headmaster and Pete. That way we can transform. It'll be faster."

The three best friends agreed, and Remus watched as his two best friends ran off and transformed, then went into the forest in search of their loves.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Peter ran up the stairs as fast as his short legs could take them. Over and over in his mind he thought of how this was one time that he couldn't screw up. He had to do the right thing. Maybe once he'd get some credit for something.

He ran around the corner to see three figures run into an open door. Peter silently crept forward.

"... Are you stupid? We could have gotten caught?"

"We had to make sure that they won't escape."

"Yeah, but we weren't supposed to hurt them that bad..."

".. Their strong fucking bitches. Why do you care anyway?"

Peter heard as there was a few more heated whispers, but they soon faded.

He shivered thinking of what they might of done, then ran off in search of Professor Dumbledore.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

James ran around the dark forest as a stag. It was much easier. And the animals were calmer to see a stray stag then to see a wizard lurking about. He sniffed everything possible that might have some trace, but he found nothing. It was as if they had disappeared off the face of the earth.

He saw Padfoot head in his direction, meaning he either found something or nothing at all. James walked forward, and saw as Sirius shook his dog head 'no'. James thought 'Shit! Where could they be?'

Sirius motioned his head for James to follow him out of the forest. As they reached the edge they transformed back to their human state. Walking out of the forest, they saw as Dumbledore and Peter emerged from inside the castle with McGonagall and Filch at their heels.

Dumbledore waited for James and Sirius to come to the group before he began. "Is it to my understanding, that Miss Evans, Miss Lemons and Miss Sway are no where to be found?"

The four boys shook their heads 'yes'.

Dumbledore turned his head to face the forest. "And you've searched the forest for any signs."

Once again they shook their heads.

"We must alert all the Professors, there's three students missing. Have them search every crack and crevice. I will go down to Hogsmede to see if anyone has seen anything. As for you four, go back to the head room and get some rest."

James stood there awe struck. "Sorry Professor, but I can't honestly stay there, when my best friends are missing."

Dumbledore looked over at James. "This is out of your hands now, Mr. Potter."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

James paced the heads room. "We can't honestly stay here. God DAMN IT!"

Sirius sighed. "Where in bloody hell are they?"

Remus leaned back on the couch. "I don't think their in Hogsmede. I have this strange feeling that their somewhere we know really well."

James looked out the balcony window. "Probably under our noses. And we don't even know it."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tears fell down two of the girls faces as they saw their friend slowly breathe in and out. Obviously in terrible pain. Their brains couldn't figure out how they had ended up here. It had all happened so fast. The last thing that they could remember is wanting ice cream. The dripping of a pipe, filled the place they lied. All their thoughts were of how long they'd been there and if anyone could possible be looking for them.

She slowly stood, to see if she'd be able to reach the crack. She slowly rose to her tip toes to see if her head was able to go that high up.

But to now avail, it was out of her reach. She cursed at her short stature.

She turned her head to see if maybe she could get a peak out. All she could see was something dark.

"God! Where the hell are we?"
