Okay, okay...I know I said I had to have 5 reviews, but now I guess I'm in
fear for my life. So hear it is chapter 3. Hope you all enjoy.
And special thanks to Moonblade, Shadoe and Kherezae (Though I don't know
why I'm thanking you..threatening me!) for all of your reviews. I hate you
too Shadoe. (

*sirius' dream*
Blood..
I smell it..it's all around me..
Everywhere..
Remus..where are you?
A scream..all I can hear is the scream..
I'm running now..running towards that blood curdling sound..
Where are you Remus?
Shit! I slipped, and now I'm falling..it's not stopping..
I'm still falling..
Remus!
Blood everywhere!
There! I found you...
God! No! Remus..
What happened to you? Is all this blood from you?
NO! Remus! Don't die! Please...I..I love you Remus..
No Remus, Please don't die..please..
Remus!
REMUS!!!

*Remus' pov*
I was awoken suddenly by a scream. I sat up abruptly. It came again. From Sirius' bed. I leaped to my feet and ran to his side. His hair was slicked to his forehead from sweat, and he was writhing around, making the sheets wrap around his body, restraining him.
"Remus! No!" I stepped back in shock, then started shaking him franticly, trying to wake him. James and Peter were soon by my side, trying to help me.
Sirius' eyes flew open, a look of pure terror evident on his face. He looked immediately to my bed, which was next to his. Next his eyes landed on me, and the fear was replaced by relief.
"My god, Remus..you're alright." He threw his arms around me, and buried his face in the crook of my neck. I wrapped my arms around him holding him close. He was shaking. I tentatively started rubbing small circles on his back with my palm, trying to sooth him. I felt a wetness on his neck and realized he was crying.
"Pa..Padfoot...it's alright. It was just a nightmare. It's over now...you're okay." I looked up at James who had a look of concern on his face. I'm mouthed to him that it was alright and he could go back to bed. A look of understanding passed over him, and he nudged Peter. They walked back to their beds.
"Do you want to talk about it?" A violent sob racked his body, and I held him tighter. I was getting really worried. I'd never seen him like this before.
"Sirius?" I asked again. I felt him tense. There were a few moments, where he tried to catch his breath, then he pushed me away.
I looked into his eyes that were slightly red and swollen. The blue in his eyes stood out drastically. There was a moment where the fear I saw earlier was visible again, then it was gone replaced by something else I didn't recognize. It wasn't right that he was still so beautiful. I mentally kicked myself. I shouldn't think about something like that..especially not now when he needs me. I'll hate myself if I let my hormones get in the way of comforting him.
He reached up uncertainly and trailed his fingers over my lips. Then leaned in and kissed me lightly. I gasped. He pulled away quickly, and looked away embarrassed.
"I...I'm sorry Remus..." He stood and ran out of the room. I stayed where I was seated, in stunned silence. It took a moment before I realized he had left. A depressed Sirius wasn't a good thing. he might, and probably would, do something drastic. I ran after him ignoring my half clothed state.

Okay, I know I lied. I said the chapters would get longer. I'm such a horrible person. I know, I know. Well, review and tell me what you think.
