Chapter 3
The next morning Karina woke up and wondered where she was....it wasn't her bed and it definitly wasn't her house...then she remembered last night. And why she had such a headache. Laying back in her pillow she tried to go back to sleep, but couldn't. She thrust her legs over the side and tried to get up, but couldn't...she didn't have the strength. She lay in bed for a little while longer, until Sirius peeked in.
Seeing her awake, he walked over. "Good morning, how do you feel?"
"Good morning my ass. Its not a good morning and I feel horrible." she said closing her eyes.
He sat on the bed next to her and brushed the hair out of her face. "You'll be ok soon. Don't worry."
"I have to worry, Sirius. Now, with what I've done, I have to worry. Constantly. Sometimes I think I'd be better off somewhere else. I mean, all I'd have to do is poison myself...or pull the trigger on a muggle gun....."
"Karina! Dont say that."
"Its true."
"Karina, if you did that--so would I." sirius whispered laying next to her.
"Why?"
"Because my life would no longer be worth living. Now that I've found you again...its like being reborn."
"But Sirius, I'm so overwhelmed. I dont know what to do. I dont like it. Its going to drive me insane."
"Shhh. What happened to the Karina I knew? The one who always had a smile on her face, never cried, always there to cheer you up, always joking and always laughing without a care in the world?"
"She changed."
"Karina...."
"You're not the same either, Sirius."
"I was in Azkaban for 12 years."
"And I was living in hell on earth for 13." she said.
He forced himself to look at her. "All because of me."
"No, it wasn't. This is my fault."
"What?"
"I knew about the switch. I never trusted Peter that much, but did I protest against you? No."
"But, it wasn't your fault."
"Whatever Sirius. It was."
"No, this is my fault. And Remus's."
"Stop blaming yourself."
"Karina..."
"Lets just go down to breakfast and talk about this later ok?" she asked.
"Ok."
He got out of bed and turned towards her. "Need help?"
"I can't walk."
He lifted her out of bed and carried her downstairs. She layed her head on him.
"You ok?" he asked worriedly.
"A little dizzy."
"Dont worry. Come on and lay on the couch and we'll get you some soup." he said as he put her on the couch and wrapped blankets around her.
"Thanks."
Remus came in then. "Here. You feeling ok? You're awfully pale."
"Mmmm, I'll live..unfortunately. Is that chicken noodle?"
"Still hate that the most?"
"Yep."
"Thats what it is."
She smiled for the first time and graciously accepted her favorite soup. "Wow, I'd give a lot of money to see you smile more than that Kari."
"Too bad." she said as she slurped the soup. "It aint happening for a while."
"What if I tickled you?" sirius asked.
"What if I spilled this scalding hot soup on your head?"
"Thats my girl."
She rolled her eyes. As she took a bite, an owl flew in.
Remus jumped on it and ripped it open. "Geez." Karina said with amusement.
Sirius and Karina watched Remus in curiosity as he read it to himself. "Dumbledore says we should come to Hogwarts as soon as we can. He says its not safe here anymore and that we need to get out of here with Karina. He said if Voldemort calls, go because you dont want to make him suspicious." he said. "When you're done eating, Kari, I think we should go."
"But Remus....let her rest, shes not well."
Remus looked at his friend skeptically, "Do you care about her?"
"Of course!"
"Do you want the best for her?"
"Yes, Rem wheres this leading to?"
"If you want the best, we should leave as soon as possible...she can rest when we get there." he said wisely.
"Fine."
Karina shuddered as she took another bite. "You ok?" sirius asked worriedly.
"Mmmm....kind of."
"Whats the matter?"
"I just feel a little sick, thats all." she said.
"Are you sure?"
She didn't have time to answer for there was then a knock at the door. "Whos that?" karina asked worriedly.
"Lets not be paranoid." Remus said, trying to remain calm as he went to the window. Then he laughed. "Its only Callie."
"Whos Callie?" karina asked.
"My sister." sirius said rolling his eyes. He'd never liked her much, even now when they were adults.
"I never knew you had a sister."
"I intended to keep it that way. I hate her."
"Why?"
"Just watch."
Remus opened the door and greeted her with a hug. Karina saw that she and Sirius looked much alike. She had long dark hair that hung about 5 inches past her shoulders, and she had the same mischevious sparkle in her eyes, but her eye color was a hazel green color instead of Sirius's coal black, and she had a few freckles scattered across her nose, unlike Sirius. She was stunningly pretty and when she smiled, her whole face lit up.
"You look alike."
"Shhh, dont say that!"
Remus walked her over. "This is Callie. Cal, this is Karina."
Callie smiled, "Hi, nice to meet you."
"Shes Sirius's girlfriend."
"Cool...from Hogwarts?" callie asked.
"Yea, we've been together since Hogwarts. We intended to marry, but then Lily and James's death occured and....."
"Yea." Callie said frowning. "I really miss them."
"Me too. Lily was my best friend."
"Mine too." Callie said. "Well, more like an older sister."
"So you're Sirius's younger sister? Its strange, he's never talked about you."
"Yea, he's never talked about you either." (A/N: i think it really makes a difference, when some1 pronounces "either" as "eyether" lol so im tellin u thats how she said it. Yes, im strange.)
"Why not Sirius?" Karina asked.
He rolled his eyes. "This is what I meant!"
"Meant what?" Callie asked her eyes flashing. "Meant by telling her how much you hated me?"
"Yes!"
The sparkle in her eyes was replaced by an angry glint. "I've never done anything to you. Why do you hate me?" she asked sharply.
"Can we talk about this later?" Remus asked, "Callie, we have to get out of here. Dumbledore said its not safe."
"Yea, I know. He sent me. He didn't tell me anything except that you all were in danger and that you needed to leave like NOW." Callie said.
"What else did Dumbledore say?" Sirius asked suspiciously.
"Nothing, I didn't ask any further questions. Its none of my business."
"Damn right its none of your business."
"Hey, dont get an attitude with me Sirius. This isn't the time."
She turned to Karina. "Are you ok? Can you apparate?"
"No, I'm too weak."
Callie eyed her suspiciously, "Ok. Hey Sirius, Remus, do either of you know how to do double apparations?"
"What?" Sirius asked curtly.
"Apparate with another person holding onto you."
"It can't be too hard, can it?"
"If you haven't done it, then dont try. Its had terrible results." callie said, "Here, I'll do it. Apparate to the outside gates and then we'll walk up together."
"How can I know I can trust you with her, Calista?"
"Dont call me that Sirius." Callie said, "I hate my real name. And what am I going to do to her? eat her or something? Come on. I'm 26 for God's sake!"
"Never know with you."
Callie took a deep breath. "Just apparate. We'll see you in a second."
Remus nodded. "Outside the gates. Got it. See ya in a minute." and he disappeared.
Sirius rolled his eyes. He leaned over and gave her a kiss, whispered something in her ear, and left.
Karina stared at Callie with such a look Callie shuddered. "Ready?" Callie asked.
Karina looked at her with her amber eyes and Callie felt a sharp pang in her forehead. Putting her hand to her head, she sat on the couch next to Karina with her eyes closed in pain. It finally stopped after a moment....a moment that felt like her head was going to explode.
"I'm ready when you are." Karina said.
With a part of the pain still lingering, Callie grasped Karina's wrists and they were off. Spinning, spinning, spinning, until they fell onto the hard ground. Sirius and Remus came rushing over. "You ok Karina?" Sirius yelled.
"Yea." she said and he picked her up and started to carry her off. Callie remained on the ground.
"Hey, Cal, you ok?" Remus asked helping her up. She put her hand on his shoulder and closed her eyes tightly to try and stop the world from spinning.
"I don't trust her." she whispered opening her eyes, looking into his gray eyes and then fainted.
