"Give me the boy!"
Lily was sobbing.
Puh-puh-please...no!"
"Just move aside, girl! I came for the boy."
"No! Not Harry. Please not Harry - kill me instead!"
Lily pushed the wailing bundle behind her, and gave the man a defiant glare.
Serenity watched once again over Voldemort's shoulder.
She saw his wand raise before Lily did, and tried to shout out a warning. She raced forward as Lily pulled her wand up in defense. But it would not save her. A flash of green light filled the small room, and when it was gone Lily Potter lay dead on the floor, and in vain Serenity ran forward.
She had to protect Harry.
Closer.
Closer.
She was running in slow-mo.
Closer.
Closer.
[Avada Kedavra]
Serenity was racing against time - and a deadly curse..
Almost there. ****** Serenity sat bolt upright in her bed panting and covered with perspiration. It had been two days since she had gotten her memory back, and both nights she had had the same vision/dream.
She remembered seeing it when she had been in school. Swinging her legs over the edge of the bed she slid out from under the covers. Pulling on a silky robe over her nightgown she padded out of the guest room and into Sirius'. They slept in separate rooms because Serenity wasn't quite used to the fact that they were married.
She climbed onto his bed and laid down next to him; the covers serving as a barrier between their bodies. "Sirius." She whispered. "Sirius. Wake up, luv." She nudged him slightly. He stirred, and his eyes opened slowly as he blinked back sleep.
"Rene, what time is it?!" he muttered. Serenity sighed in exasperation. "I don't know, but I really need to talk to you."
"What do you need to talk about, pet?" he asked rubbing his eyes.
"How did I get back here?" She whispered. Sirius looked at her sharply, and bit his lip. He sat up in bed and ran a hand, nervously through his hair.
"I mean one minute I was there with Voldemort and the next..." She trailed off and looked at him. "I need to know Sirius." Without thinking, her hand found his and her fingers laced with his.
He sighed and kissed their joined hands. "After the accident on the stairs, I spent all my free time looking for a spell to bring you back - so we could be together."
Serenity nodded, and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze; and urged him to continue.
"Well I cast the spell." he trailed off.
"And?" Serenity prompted.
"And nothing." He finished, "Nothing happened. I waited for twelve years. I was just about to give up when YOU came. I knew your were different, that there was something familiar about you, the day we met."
"But why did the spell take me back twelve years after it was cast? And how did we get kids? We never." Sirius coughed.
"I don't know." he confessed. "They appeared about the same day you did." he mused.
"Didn't everyone else notice that your kids just suddenly appeared?!" Serenity asked, incredulously.
He scratched his head in thought. "Well, actually, everyone acted as if the twins had always been there."
Serenity was quiet for a moment, absently playing with her necklace from Lily and James. She cleared her throat.
"I think the shadow inside me tried to stop me from getting back to you. But for the twins..maybe me coming back was in a way recognizing the way things should have been. That's why the twins appeared. They were meant to exist." Her eyes locked with Sirius'.
They were silent, again.
"Serenity?"
"Hmm?"
"Tell me about the shadow.."
Serenity thought back on the events that had lead to her insanity in the future. Tears formed in the back of her eyes, and she turned away from Sirius, not wanting him to see her tears.
Warm hands touched her face turning her back towards him, and rubbing away the tears.
"My father tortured me." She whimpered. Fury swirled in Sirius' eyes though he tried to hide it from her. Serenity roughly wiped away the trails of tears and told Sirius about the Veritaserum and her wedding nightmare.
"I began to think that if I could just tell you that I loved you and that I would marry you, that everything would be okay. It became my lifeline in the darkness. Then when I escaped to the Knight Bus, I was forced to break my chant, and..." Serenity stopped, scrambling to find the right words.
"I think that my mind was so damaged by my torture that it convinced itself that since I had broken the chant that the shadow would consume me. I think that I created the demon inside me.."
Serenity paused to regain her composure, and continued again. "When you told me about Kira and Leo, I was so shocked and caught off guard that the demon I created took over. If Kira hadn't of been there.."
Serenity shook her head, and closed her eyes against the tears. Sirius squeezed her hand tightly. "It'll be ok." he whispered.
Serenity opened her eyes again, and stared at their joined hands for the longest time, before she looked up again. Her tear-filled eyes met his and she smiled. "I believe you."
