A/N: Chapter 6. Please R/R, I really appreciate it. And if you like lists, read my 'Things You Can Hear at my School'. It's all true. Kind of frightening. Ok, this chapter starts off at the lake. Thanx to everyone that has reviewed so far!!!!!!!!!!!!
I took a deep breath. The Foreverulas Charm was not at all complicated, but I was very nervous. James smiled and handed me the box he was holding. We were at the lake, and it was around 1:00 am.
Slowly, I opened the wooden box. Inside was a dagger, ruby encrusted and beutiful. I removed it and set the box down by my feet.
"I'm not very fond of cuts," I said, handing James the dagger. He smiled and took it from me. I held my right palm out to him.
"Kiss me first?" I asked, slightly afraid. James grinned wider, leaning down to kiss me. The kiss had been meant to give me strength, but it barely helped. I wasn't afraid of blood, I just hated the feel of a cut that a knife leaves. The way they pierce your skin. It wasn't even so much the pain, just the feeling.
James took my hand, and very carefully he traced a slash across my palm with the knife. And oh, there was that feeling! The seperation of skin, the sting of the blood.
I looked at my hand. The cut was thin, a diagonal line. Blood was beginning to seep from the wound. James handed me the knife, and held out his own palm, his left.
I hesitated, not wanting to hurt him. He lifted my chin so I was looking into his eyes. "It's okay, Lily. You can do it. Don't worry."
As gently as possible, I made the diagonal cut across his palm, and it started to bleed.
"Are you ready?" he asked quietly.
I nodded, and we clasped out freely bleeding hands together. Immediately I felt a strange warmth. I could feel James's blood flowing through my veins. And then their was a heat, seering heat, within me. The cut on my hand was hot, and very painful. I wanted to let go, but I knew I couldn't. I felt that if I did the whole world would collapse around me, everything dissapearing. Leaving me to be alone with my lonliness, emptiness.
A blinding light escaped from between our palms. The pain receded, but I still felt the strange warmth. I could fell James's blood inside me.
"My blood, your blood. Together for eternity," James and I said in unison.
I looked at my palm. The cut was no longer there. Only a thin, slightly raised scar. I ran my finger over the line.
James kissed my forehead. "This was great fun, wasn't it?" he asked.
I smiled. He sat down in the grass, and I fell beside him. I yawned, resting my head on his shoulder. He put his arm around me, and we sat there, watching the lake under the full moon.
Disclaimer: I'm so happy because I own something!!!!!! I own the dagger (and it's box, lol) and the Foreverulas Charm. And even though she wasn't mentioned in this chapter, I still own Lauren. Everything else belongs to JKR.
