United as One
~*~

Like I always do, I'm going to intrduce myself before anything else. My name is Anna Lupin. I like music and books, and I know something nobody else does. Nobody else wants to notice. I love my brother... as a brother. As a lover I'd choose Dami but it's a bit late for that, I'm already going steady with Chase.

But back to my brother, he is one of the sweetest, nicest and most loyal guys I know in the world. But you have to earn his trust first, and that's not easy. After being hated and betrayed all his life he finds it hard to live in this world. I can still remember vividly when he tried to kill himself last year. He thought he was useless and no one would care if he died, in fact, he thought people would be happy. Not me. I begged him not to do it and he reluctantly agreed.

I guess I shouldn't tell anything about him, but I want the world to know that not all werewolves are bad. I winced, that word has always represented evil in every one of *them*, except my brother. I have this feeling at the pit of my stomach that he would do anything to keep me safe. Risking his own life, his career... Just not other people.

I also remember when he was going out with Sandy Barmash, he was hopelessly in love with her, but then when she found out she turned her back from him and he lost his grip on the world.

He also used to sing and play the guitar, when no one was looking of course. But when Sandy broke up with him he totally lost himself and closed himself up and hardly ever spoke to anyone, and if he did, it was a rude comment that pissed whoever heard it off. It had hurt me like hell to see him like this.

I've always had the vague feeling that I was his mother emotionally. Our real mother hated him, and the only reaon they kept was because I was in devastation when he was gone. I've always loved the kid and if he died I'd freak. But I can't babysit him anymore. He's a big boy now. He goes to a school where muggles just can't go unless they know and they're invited. yep. You guessed it, I'm a muggle. I go to Corey & Corey graduating school. I'll finish this year then I plan to go to school in America. Harvard, or Yale maybe. But it has to be one of the best. Then i'll learn as much about witches and wizards as I can. I don't know what I plan to do with this knowledge but I'll do something with it. Maybe I'll become an ambassador between muggles and witches. I don't know but I have a feeling that it's important.

Whenever I'm alone I find that I tend to ponder. About life, Remus, Sandy, school, math questions. You name it, I'll ponder over it. Not that I have much time for that. I'm quite popular so I often have friends on the phone or I'm talking to them on msn, or, I could be doing my homework there.

I'll guess you'd never guess what my greatest fear in life is. I'll give you a hint. It's not being eaten by my brother, I know that won't happen. One day I somehow wound up in the wolf's den (or the basement) during the full moon, and he didn't eat me. He just didn't. It was awful scary though. And, have you ever looked at a fully grown wolf up close? They're beautiful, at least Remus is. The slender muscles, the sleek shiny fur. And he looked so sad. Just like Remus.

It's kind of scary, really. To see such a beautiful creature this sad. But that's not the point. My greatest fear is to be a Mary Sue. Ugh. I shudder at the thought. I've read some books and there are perfectionists in them, and perfectionists are scary. The one thing I don't want out of me is to be perfect.

Besides, there's no such thing as perfect. I'm not perfect, that's for sure. Some people are perfect in their features but then they're usually terrible people, yet sometimes there are wonderful people but they think that they are nothing near even pretty.

You when I was thinking about pondering? Well I'm pondering right now. On my bed, an hour before school. I got up and checked my homework. like usual, I had it done. I gathered it up and stuffed it into my backpack. I threw it over my shoulder and headed downstairs. I had a breif look at my watch, and after doing so I fouind out that my bus was to be arriving in three minutes. I got a quick snack and ran as fast as I could.

"Anna! What the heck! Slow down already!" yelled my my best friend Jane.

"Slowing down!" then I saw the bus. "Eep! Getting faster!" I ran with all my might towards the bus stop. As soon as I got there I plopped down for a second. Thankfully, the bus got there just about a second after I did and not earlier. Jane and I walked onto the bus.

The first class that day would be homeroom, like usual. Mrs. Fronkontein was up at the board and she had seemed to pop out of thin air. Which she did, I knew she was a witch. She started yabbering bout what was going to be done during ect. ect. ect. Plain and simple? There is no plain and simple when it comes to Mrs. 'Tein.

Then we had Math, SS, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Then Lunch, PE... I forget the rest. The day just went on as a blur. but I remember all the homework assigned. As soon as I got home I ran into my bedroom, but as I was running up the stairs, as though a second thought, I headed toward Remus's bedroom. Then I saw something that I thought he'd thrown out.

His guitar.

What do you think? Did you ever expect Remus to be a quiet person inside? I did. Not. It just came out like that. I beleive he's a good person and I suck at making anyone purely evil. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Okay, that was stupid. Buh bye! R/R!
