Suddenly the humongous black dog came to a skidding halt, looking very astonished to see Lily. Lily opened her eyes as she heard heavy breathing and a large black nose pushed it's way through her hands to her face, and the dog began licking her enthusiastically.
"Sirius!" James shouted glaring at the dog, which had stopped licking Lily and suddenly turned into Sirius Black .
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! DARK MAGIC! SHAPE SHIFTERS! AHHHHHHHHHH!" Lily screeched running as fast as she possibly could back towards the castle when Sirius transformed back as a dog and ran after her, James following. Suddenly the dog cut across Lily's path. Lily squealed and ran in the other direction, straight into the forbidden forest.
"Lily! Wait don't go in there! It's.." James yelled, but he was too late, Lily had just vanished into the brush. "Oh no," James said weakly "that stupid girl is going to get herself killed!" James dashed into the woods after Lily.
"I'm going to regret this," Sirius said as he ran after James. Lily was dashing ahead, they were going to find her! She had no way out! She could hear branches snapping behind and she ran faster.
"Lily! LILY! PLEASE SLOW DOWN IT'S ME! JAMES!" James bellowed as he stopped to rest by a fur tree. Lily gave a terrified yelp and put on an extra spurt of speed; the evil shape shifter knew her name! Just as Lily was running past a clearing she tripped over a tree root, she fell face down, everything began to get cloudy, suddenly everything became like a static TV screen and Lily blacked out.
"Damn it! Where is she?" James gasped clutching his stomach as he desperately tried to breathe normally. 'Where could she have gone? She couldn't have vanished into thin air' James thought annoyed, but then again James reminded himself she could, this was the forbidden forest. 'Damn why'd she have to see us? None of this would have happened if she had kept her stupid nose out of this!' James thought angrily 'and what about Remus? Will he wake up? Nah, Lily's charms are pretty powerful'
"So have you found her yet?" Sirius asked arriving next to James, panting.
"What do you think?" James snapped.
"You have?" Sirius asked hopefully.
"NO! IF I HAD SHE'D BE HERE WOULDN'T SHE YOU IDIOT!" James yelled.
"Oh, yeah, she would be, that's true," Sirius admitted "you don't have to bite my head off about this James, after all she is your girlfriend, not mine!" Before James could protest Sirius began searching again.
"Wait Sirius, I've got an idea, you're a dog!" James exclaimed a bright light turning on inside his brain.
"Only sometimes" Sirius commented stupidly.
"YES I KNOW! But you could track her down as a dog" James reasoned.
"How?" Sirius asked stupidly, but seeing James glare at him he tried to think harder "Oh yeah I could smell her!"
"Right, so DO IT ALREADY!" James shouted.
"Uh, yeah ok" Sirius said crouching on the ground and transforming into the enormous black dog. Sirius began sniffing frantically around and suddenly his ears perked up and howled.
"Is it Lily?" James asked anxiously, Sirius nodded and bounded off into the undergrowth, James close behind him.

Lily opened her eyes to see a pale woman, she had bright emerald eyes and long blond hair, she smiled down at her. Lily glanced around her, she was propped up against a tree, her throbbing head had been covered with a wet leaf. 'How strange' Lily thought.
"So, you've finally awoken, you need to listen to me my dear, do not fight it you were born to be the guardian, I can only trust this secret to you" The woman said.
"What? What are you talking about? I don't understand, I must have bumped my head really hard" Lily murmured taking off the leaf and rubbing her head, a huge bump had risen on her forehead. "Oh, ouch" Lily said.
"Yes, I know it hurts, now just let me see it and I can ease your pain, there is no need to suffer," The woman said in a misty voice. She held her palms out and a wave of sleepiness hit her, a warm tingly feeling spread through her body, the swelling on her head went down.
"No, I don't want to…" Lily began, "I don't know what your talking about, I just need to go back to Hogwarts, there is something evil, shape shifters"
"Oh no, that is but your friends, not enemies, animgus' they have mastered a tricky art" The woman said sounding amused.
"Really, well why should I believe you?" Lily retorted.
"I must go! I will come to you another time to tell you about the amulet, I cannot stay, your friends approach" The woman said disappearing with a wisp of blue smoke.
"LILY! LILY! WHERE ARE YOU!" James shouted.
"I'm here, I tripped and bumped my head, I think I'm having delusions, help!" Lily said sleepily as James ran into the clearing.
"Wow, you don't look so good," James said as Lily looked at him, with an expression of relief and warmth in her eyes. 'She must be glad to see me, probably because there are werewolves in here' James thought, but still there seemed to be something more.
"Lily why'd you do that?" Sirius demanded "did you know there are werewolves in this forest?"
"Werewolves," Lily whispered, and then she fainted.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lily awoke to see James worried face watching her anxiously. "Lily! You're all right! Thank god!" James said hugging her.
"Does this means were friends?" Lily asked.
"I think so," James answered smiling "if you want to be,"
"Well of course I do, but did you ever think…" Lily trailed off.
"Think what?" James asked curiously.
"Oh it was nothing, I'm glad you're my friend again, I hated being on your war path!" Lily said happily. 'Just friends, how wonderful,' Lily thought 'just friends,'
"Oh Lily I was so worried, we all were, even Rachel was worried!" Abrella said.
"Sirius, come here" Lily said.
"Yes?" Sirius asked as made his way to her side.
"Come closer," Lily urged. Sirius leaned far forward and Lily slapped him with all the strength she could gather.
"Ouch! Pain! What'd you do that for?" Sirius demanded.
"For slobbering on me in your dog form" Lily said smiling cheekily.
"Serves you right!" James said laughing. Lily slapped him hard across the face.
"That is for being an absolute jerk for all that time!" Lily said giggling at James' shocked face.
"Fine, I guess I deserve that, but we're even now, " James said sheepishly.
Suddenly Madam Pomfrey came bustling in "I've given you more than enough time now get out! Out out!" Madam Pomfrey exclaimed shoving Abrella, Sirius and James out the door "you need some rest, you'll be well by morning, going into the forbidden forest unbelievable!"
'Yeah, pretty unbelievable' Lily thought as she drifted off to sleep.
AN: In the first chapter I say that Madam Maxine is the 'Nurse' but it's really supposed to be Madam Pomfrey, so please excuse that mistake. Hey for once it's not a cliffe! Well look for chapter six soon! Please tell me what you think! Thanks ~Misty~
