Chapter 5 ~*~ The truth comes out
"James? James!" Lily practically yelled over to him. "What happened to Remus?"
"Yeah, what happened?" Allison asked him.
James and Sirius both glanced at Allison, then Peter, the stairs to the dormitory, then to each other. "Er.well ya see. Remus got a bit.um.angry at our roomy Peter." James said.
"Well we got that part." Katie said, rolling her eyes.
"Yeah. So tell us why he got mad. Please!" Hannah practically begged.
Sirius looked over at Allison before answering. "You don't want to know." Everyone noticed how he was directing his answer to mainly her.
"Why don't I?" Allison asked. She knew he had directed it towards her.
"Well I was quite mad at Peter as well actually, but Remus was livid. He values your friendship over most things Allison. I just want to make sure you realize that."
"Really?" Allison looked happy for a few seconds, before she remembered the argument. "So what made the two of you mad?"
Sirius looked at James and nodded. "We were.well.talking about you four, and pestering Remus about what happened, when Peter came in. He sort of joined our conversation, and then he brought up the topic of if any of us liked you guys." James stopped there for a minute for comments.
"We're flattered, really, but please finish explaining." Lily said. She was a little anxious to hear the rest.
"Right. Well then we asked Peter if he liked any of you and he said he would like to get to know you," he nodded to Allison, "a little bit more, if we knew what he meant."
At this, Katie and Hannah's eyes got wide, and their skin paled when they looked at Allison's expression. Her eyes had turned a bright purple, and were glowing, but barely. "HE WHAT!" Allison yelled.
"Allison! Your eyes! Let's go before anyone notices!" Katie hissed, while shoving Allison and Hannah up the stairs to the dormitory. Once they reached the inside of the room, all three girls bolted for the mirror.
"No, No, No, No! Did the guys notice them change?" Allison was panicking now, and it caused them to glow even brighter. "Did Lily notice?"
"Yes, I did." Lily had appeared in the room as Allison had asked the questions. "No, the boys didn't notice, they were glaring at Peter."
"Thank God! They would tell Remus, and then there would be trouble." Hannah exclaimed.
"You guys mind telling me what's going on here?" Lily raised an eyebrow. "Come on, you can trust me."
"Alli.she'll find out soon enough." Remus had appeared in the doorway. "Can I come in?"
"Sure Remus, come on in." Allison said. Hannah scooted over on her bed, and Remus sat down next to her.
"Can someone please tell me what's going on?" Lily was getting annoyed with the secrets.
"It's your call Allison." Katie said.
"Remus's call as well." Hannah said in a matter-of-fact tone. "She tells so does he."
"No. I don't care if she tells. It's my fault she has to decide in the first place." Remus said. "Yours, not mine Alli."
"Remus, it's not your fault." Hannah said sympathetically. "We've seen Allison in her stage, and we know you can't control yourself."
"Thanks Hannah." Remus said, with a small smile.
"Anytime." She gave him a hug and then turned to Allison. "So. Are you gonna tell them?"
"Y-Y-Yes." Allison sighed. "Could you go and get James and Sirius please?"
"Sure." And so Katie got up and ran out the door. She returned a few minutes later with James and Sirius. Then out of nowhere, Peter popped his head in the door.
"Why are you here?" Sirius spat.
When everyone saw Peter walk in, they all turned over to look at Remus and Allison. Everyone could see his or her faces, and everyone could see what was happening. Happening to their eyes.
When they looked at Remus, they saw he was completely livid, and his eyes were glowing bright yellow like before. Then Allison was completely different. Everyone saw complete fear mixed with hatred, and her eyes were glowing a bright purple. Immediately, Remus ran at Peter, only to have James and Sirius, tackle him. While everyone was watching this, Peter had snuck around to Allison's bed and sat down next to her. The look in his eyes terrified her. It was a look of wanting and lust.
"Get away from me." Allison whispered. She was frozen to the spot.
Peter ran a hand down her face before saying, "Purple eyes suit you." She slapped him, but he seemed to just be moiré intrigued. "Feisty I see." Allison tried to stand up, but Peter pulled her back down.
Meanwhile, the girls had gone to get some help for Remus. James and Sirius were facing away from the beds, while Remus was facing them. He saw what Peter was doing, and was trying to say something, but James held his hand over his mouth to keep him from cursing. Remus was forced to sit by and watch. His eyes were burning from glowing with anger. He could see the expression on Allison's face and how her eyes began to glow more and more. He watched as Peter closed the curtains to her four-poster. Then he felt James and Sirius dragging him out of the room.
"So James. Where do you reckon Peter is?"
"I dunno. I thought he ran out when we tackled Remus."
Remus started to toss around now, and the two were having trouble holding him, but they continued to drag him down the stairs.
"So Allison. Now that all of your friends have left.let's talk." Peter grabbed her hand and pulled her forward. When he kissed her, she shoved him away, and hit him over the head as hard as she could.
"Why didn't I learn some hexes while I could have?" Allison said.
"You tell me." Peter said. He was headed over to Allison, when she screamed. "Shut up!" He said, as he ran over and covered her mouth.
"What was that Sirius?" James dropped his hand from Remus's mouth, and immediately Remus started yelling.
"You dumbass! Peter is still up there with Allison! Let me go! Didn't you see how she was too scared to do anything?"
"He.He's still up there?" Sirius stuttered. Then he and James dropped Remus and stared at the stairs.
Remus didn't wait. He jumped up and sprinted up the stairs to her dorm. When he got there, his eyes were burning and he flung the door open. There, Peter had his hand over an anger-gaining Allison's mouth.
"Oh No!" Peter squeaked.
"Oh No is right!" Sirius was in the doorway with James right behind him. Instantly, Sirius tackled Peter, with James not far behind.
"Remus!" Allison flung her arms around his neck and just cried.
"It's alright. Calm down." He felt so guilty for not helping.
When she looked up at him, she saw something. "How did you get your eyes back to normal?" she asked. "I can never do that."
"I've had practice. Here." He turned her around and covered her eyes with his hands. "Now just relax. You can't see anything, right?" she just nodded. "Alright. Do you feel angry or scared?"
"Nope." She turned back around to face him as he removed his hands. "Are they still purple? I don't feel them glowing, but are they purple?"
"Nope. Your all better." He smiled and then walked over to James and Sirius, who had tied up Peter. "Have fun?"
"You bet." Sirius said. "You okay Allison?"
"Yep. So Remus. Should I tell them now?"
"Well since we're all here." Lily said, walking in with Katie and Hannah.
Lily was suddenly engulfed in a hug from Allison, and the same happened to Sirius and James.
"I'm sorry you guys. And if you hate me afterwards I'll understand."
"Right?" Lily said, "Now I'm really confused."
"You see.I'm a.I'm.I'm a." Allison trailed off as Remus put up a hand on her shoulder, and looked her in the eyes. She nodded and Remus continued instead of her. "We're," he put a lot of emphasis on that word and looked away from Allison, "both werewolves."
"Yes, I'm a werewolf." Allison said this very quickly and dropped her head.
"R-Really?" Lily stammered.
"Yes Lily, really." Remus cut in sharply.
"That is so.COOL!" Lily began jumping up and down on her bed.
"Really!" Allison was starting to smile.
"Remus! You're holding out on us! Why didn't you say anything before now? We've known you for TWO YEARS!" James exclaimed.
"Er.it didn't seem important?" Remus suggested.
"You thought we'd abandon you like Allison thought. Didn't you?" Sirius said in disbelief.
"Er.well yes."
"So Remus?" Hannah said changing the subject slightly.
"Yeah Hannah?"
"Why do your eyes glow?"
"You guys don't know?" He asked in astonishment.
"Nope." Katie said, "Although Allison freaked out pretty bad the first time it happened, which made them glow worse."
"God that day was terrifying." Allison said, lying down on her bed with her head hanging off the end.
"Well, you see. When a werewolf is extremely angry, or really scared, their eyes will glow. The more the feeling increases, the brighter they glow." He finished.
"Well that's a relief. I thought it was dangerous." Allison said.
"Well actually there's more." He trailed off.
"There is?" Katie asked.
"Yes. You see, werewolves eyes glow a certain color depending on their gender." He sighed, not wanting to tell them, but he had to. "Normally males have red eyes, and females have silver."
"But your ayes are yellow, and Allison's are purple." James cut in.
"I know. It's because of power. A long time ago, a werewolf was infected with a potion. This potion is no longer known to mankind, so there is no antidote. It gave him extensive power, and the same went for the people he bit, and the people they bit, and so forth. I know there is a power the descendents possess and a prophecy to go with this, but the rest of the pages were missing from the book I looked in, and this book is one of a kind. There are no copies of it. That's why we have different eye colors than normal. We're descendents of him."
"I don't buy this. You both coincidently are descendents of a super- werewolf. How is it both of you got bit by a descendent?" Sirius asked. He was getting really curios. Much like Hannah.
"I.er.I'm the one who bit Allison. Four years ago actually." Remus mumbled this, but everyone caught it.
"Dang Remus. This has got to be harder then you show." Lily said.
"I think everyone has figured that by now." Remus said, and everyone laughed.
"Well we should probably get to sleep. Night all." Lily said. "Oh, and you all know I'm just changing the subject, right?" she asked, causing everyone to laugh again.
"Yeah. She's right." Remus said. "G'night Alli."
"Night Remus." She gave him a hug before he left.
Everybody said night to everyone and as the boys filed out, Sirius turned to Allison. "You sure you're alright?"
"Yes, I'm sure. Thanks for asking," and she gave him a hug before he left as well.
Katie and Allison saw Remus and Hannah hug, and James and Lily hug before they were all out, but decided against saying anything. They were closing the door when Sirius ran in.
"Forgot to remove Peter. To bad he was unconscious. Your story would have made him die of shock." Sirius laughed, as he dragged Peter out.
Soon everyone was in his or her own dorm and falling fast asleep. Just as Lily was about to fall asleep, she saw Rebecca come in and get ready for bed, but didn't want to scare her, so didn't say anything. Peter didn't come into his dorm until he was sure his three roomies were sleeping, and he left before Remus woke up.
It had been a long first day.
"James? James!" Lily practically yelled over to him. "What happened to Remus?"
"Yeah, what happened?" Allison asked him.
James and Sirius both glanced at Allison, then Peter, the stairs to the dormitory, then to each other. "Er.well ya see. Remus got a bit.um.angry at our roomy Peter." James said.
