I am sorry. I know this took a LONG time to come out. My dad put some
stupid filter on my computer, so I can't get to ff.net on my own computer.
Then my computer got completely screwed up, then I had to wait until it got
fixed. I got this out as soon as I can. I am so incredibly sorry. I
wouldn't blame you if all of you wanted to murder me. I wouldn't like it,
but I wouldn't blame you. Just remember though, if you kill me you don't
get the next chapter! I know, I'm so evil.
Thank you everyone who has reviewed. And thank you for not losing your patience with me.

"Where are they?!" I pounded my fist into the wall for the umpteenth time that day.
"They are probably just off somewhere, pulling some prank on some defenseless Slytherin." Lily said, grabbing her boyfriends arm, trying the reassure him.
"They've been gone all bloody day!" Lily remained silent.
"This isn't like them. They've missed all of their classes. I would maybe expect something like this from Sirius, but Remus??" James buried his face in his hands. "The...the full moon is tonight. What if something happened?"
"I'm sure they'll be fine. Remus knows how to take care of himself, and Sirius, well, Remus is probably with him to keep him out of trouble. Everything will be okay." Lily took his hand and squeezed it gently. "Anyways, there is nothing we can do now, if we don't even know where they are."
"You're right...like always."
"I know I am. You just need to learn to listen to me more. Maybe you wouldn't get so many detentions."
*Remus' pov*
I saw the last bit of light disappear, replaced by a suffocating sense of darkness.
A spasm of pain rocked through my body, and I collapsed to the ground. The pain was unbelievable. Worse than it has ever been before. The fatigue I'd felt from wandering around all day, coming back to me tenfold. I felt my bones rearranging, growing, shrinking..every little change sent a searing pain through my whole body. I screamed, unable to keep the blood curdling sound in. It started as the voice of a teenage boy, and faded into the heart stopping howl of the wolf. The change was complete. My senses were enhanced, suddenly I could tell where every little animal around me was hiding. Nothing was kept from me, I knew all. I was one with the heart of the forest now. Without even a second to think about it, I felt the wolf mind emerge, and take control of my body. The weariness I'd felt earlier had vanished now, and I was filled with the electric energy of the beast.
A small squirrel ran past me, but I ignored it. It was no threat to me. I was the master here. I was in charge. No one would have any control over me now. Not anymore. I was no longer caged. I was free. I was where I belonged. Nothing phased me. No...something did. This feeling in my stomach. Hunger. I was hungry.
I trotted off in search of food. Nothing would escape me tonight. Nothing. No beast or bird. I am here and I am the master.
I let out another howl, and it was shortly answered by another, more challenging one.
I am the master, but it seems I have an adversary. It doesn't matter. This forest is mine, and he will leave. I will make him leave.
*Sirius' pov*
I heard that howl again. It was closer this time.
'Something is wrong.' A little voice in the back of my head said. I pushed it away. There was no time to deal with little voices. I'm supposed to be having fun!
The voice wouldn't go away.
'Remus..' what was so familiar about that name?
'Remus!' Oh my god! How could I forget about Remus? I heard two howls, they were leaving me. Getting farther away. They sounded as if..they were in pain? Remus is in pain! My human mind surfaced. It was definitely Remus. I could smell him on the air. Remus and....another wolf?
'Holy shit!' Remus is in trouble, but I've been to absorbed in my own sorrow, and self pity, I didn't think about him. I ran as fast as I could towards the howls of pain, and fighting. I will not be too late!

I know it was short. I've had no time to write. But, enough with the excuses. Review. If I don't get very many reviews, it will be even longer until the next chapter.
