It was a normal Saturday afternoon. The October sun shined brightly and the sky was a clear blue as Sirius and James quickly made their way across the green Hogwarts grass.

"I wonder why Moony hasn't come back yet," Sirius anxiously stated, "He's usually back by now."

"Who knows. Maybe somethings up." James shruged.

The two boys finally approached the Whooping Willow and without hesititation, James prodded the tree and a rather large hole appeared in the side of the trunk. Both disappeared and made their way down the damp, dark path to the trapdoor. Flinging it open, Sirius poped his head out.

"HEEYYYYY, REEMMMUUUSSSS!!!!," he shouted, pulling himself up into the lightly lit room. "Where are ya?"

"Yea, we're starting to get worried about you." James added, getting up and brushing off a thin layer of dust from his robes.

The place looked like it ever had. Dust was everywhere. Mangled furniture was placed here and there. Cobwebs inhabited the corners. The only difference was that there were two set of footprints, instead of the one that was expected. James croched down to examine the imprints. They definately weren't Remus's. They were much smaller and most definately femine.

*hmmm*"Hey, Siri, look at this," James motioned to his friend, "Who do you suppose these belong to?"

"Beats me." Sirius answered, peering over his shoulder.

James stood up and entered the living area. The mysterious prints lead up the stairs. Looking and shruging to one another the boys looked up the steep steps.

"Hey, Remus. Sorry about last night. Twinkletoes Peter decided to show his lastest ballet moves to McGonagall. We have detention till next Saturday." James called up.

Silence.

"We really didn't mean to blow you off, honestly." he continued, followed closely by Sirius, as he ventured onto the creeky steps. "You know we wouldn't do it on purpose."

There was still silence.

After reaching the landing the footprints lead in through a slightly opened door. James and Sirius stood for a while on the room threshold, hestitant to go in.

"Remus, are you in there?" James softly said, gentally pushing the door open.

As suddenly as it was open, thier mouths dropped. It looked like a scene from a horror film. Red stained the walls,floor, and dripped from the cieling. Bits of fabric cluttered the red floor. It was quite obivious to the boys that a struggle occurred here. A bloody handprint was noticable on the white painted door, and to thier left, an indentation that looked like someones head appeared in the wall. The window was cracked and the bed that stood in the corner, was pushed at an awkward angle. But no Remus could be found.

"What the hell happened here??" quitely whispered James, slightly out of breathe.

Sirius said nothing as he examined the handprint on the door. It looked like who ever it was, was trying to get away, but ultimately failed.

Suddenly, from the far corner behind the bed, a soft cry echoed off the wall.

Sirius and James rushed to the corner but stopped dead in their tracks as their eyes fell apon the source of the moan. Sitting in a pool of dark red blood, covered head to toe in red, Remus sat, craddling a small, limp body. Looking up, a distant, glassy look in his eyes, he hoarsely whispered,

"I killed her..."

Opening his arms, the dead body rolled over, exposing the idenity. Elizabeth's crystal blue eyes stared up at the two boys. The life drained from her body.

"I killed my sister........"
