Chapter 10- Dreams of Foreboding
It was cold and windy out as she ran across the school grounds. She didn't know why she was running but she knew that if she stopped whatever was behind her would get her. The Forbidden Forest loomed in front of her and she entered it without a second thought.
After what seemed like hours of running, she stopped. Slowly, she approached a clearing. In the middle of the clearing was a kneeling woman. The woman was sobbing as she approached her.
"Why are you crying?" she asked. The woman looked up at her with a tear shrieked face, her brown eyes full of sadness. She looked familiar…
"It's him," the woman sobbed.
"Who?" she asked again.
"He's forgetting…" the woman wept, "he's forgetting me…and so are you…"
The girl felt like she had been slapped.
"Forget you?" she cried, "Never!"
But then the scene faded and she was in a small room. The room was dark but she recognized it at once. It was her's! The same woman as before sat in a rocking chair singing softly to herself. Suddenly there was a loud bang on the closed door and the woman stopped singing. The woman's eyes met hers.
"It's not his fault," the woman said quietly. Then the door burst open admitting a large wolf.
"NOO!!!!" she screamed. But she could only watch as the werewolf killed her, staining the floor with blood. Hatred filled her. How she wished the wolf would die! Then there was a blast of light and the wolf fell to the ground.
She approached it and was filled with both triumph and horror when she realized it was dead. Slowly she backed away from the cold form as it changed to a familiar man. She screamed as a hand grabbed her shoulder. She whirled around and found herself face to face with a dark being with glowing red eyes and a wicked grin.
"I can give you the power to do this," he hissed. He offered her a wand that seemed to pulse with power. The girl stared at it feeling an urge to grab it.
"Take your revenge," he hissed. The girl reached out and grabbed the wand…
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Anaka awoke with a start. She was sweating all over. The dream she had just had was still fresh in her mind. She remembered her mother's words, seeing her mother's death, her father being killed, and then Voldemort offering her the power take her revenge. Anaka shivered and pulled the covers closer around her. She had taken the wand he had offered her…why had she taken the wand?
Anaka was so shook up by the dream that she did not see the small lizard like creature by her bed. It quietly closed its mouth and started to crawl out of the girls' dormitory.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Harry woke up and looked around him. He was in an unfamiliar bedroom. Slowly, he got out of bed and walked out the door. Seeing a flight of stairs, he ran down them. The stairs brought him to a small comfy looking living room. To his left he heard noises coming from the kitchen. Quietly he entered.
"Harry! You're up early. Did I wake you?"
Harry stood stunned. Before him was Sirius Black making breakfast! Harry rubbed his eyes as he sat down at the table.
"I guess you're excited about Remus and Anaka coming to visit eh?" he said with a wink, "I'm sure you kids will want some time alone."
Harry nodded absently. Time alone? With Anaka? Sirius put a plate of eggs in front of him and sat across from him.
"I bet you can't wait for your parents to come home huh? I'm sure they'll be back any day now."
Harry stiffened at the words. His parents were alive? Where was he? Harry felt tears come to his eyes as he realized the dream he was having. Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door. Sirius beamed.
"That must be them!" he cried getting up and hurrying to the door.
Harry hurried after him. He watched as Sirius opened the door and his parents entered. James and Lily Potter entered the room carrying a bunch of suitcases. Sirius hugged them as they happily put down their things.
Everything seemed to slow as his parents turned to him and smiled.
"You could make everyone pay for losing them," a voice in the distance hissed.
Then the scene faded and Voldemort stood before him. Harry resisted the urge to step backwards. He glared at Voldemort. Voldemort smiled and offered a wand to him. Harry stared at it. It pulsed with power. Harry felt an urge to grab it. Could he use it to destroy Voldemort? As he extended his hand, a sudden image of is parents smiling faces flashed into his mind. Harry quickly drew back his hand and clenched his fists. He took a step back and glared at Voldemort.
"Never!" he screamed. Then he fell into darkness.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Never!" Harry screamed as he sat up in bed. He gasped for breath.
"Ah!" he cried, grabbing his forehead. His scar burned fiercely. He thought about the dream he had just had. His parents had been alive…it was the dream of what Harry wanted more than anything. Silent tears streaked his face.
"You all right Harry?" a groggy voice asked from the bed next to him. Harry took a deep breath.
"Yes Ron," Harry said uneasily as he turned over to go back to sleep.
Ron nodded but before he closed his eyes, he noticed a strange lizard like creature at the foot of Harry's bed. It closed its open mouth and slowly started to walk away. Ron, wanting to go back to sleep, ignored it. Surely it was just one of Hogwarts many strange castle guests…
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
He stood in the middle of the forest, listening intently to the breeze rustle the leaves on the trees. He could hear voices in front of him so he started to walk towards them. Three long strides took him to a large clearing. A smile spread on his face as he took in the scene. Huts of all shapes and sizes surrounded him. Other Zekans were all around. He walked to the center and stopped. He closed his eyes, listening to the whispering of their ancient language. He unfolded his wings feeling the wind slid between his feathers. He opened his eyes and looked around him.
Suddenly out of one of the huts came a familiar brown haired woman. His heart leapt. Anaka! She smiled and ran towards him. He held out his long fingered hands and Anaka took them. He squeezed them tightly and was about to talk to her when a voice interrupted him.
"Limanth cantoth Jolnith," it whispered. The voice sounded like chimes…
He looked behind Anaka and there standing before him was a beautiful Zekan woman. He folded his wings and stared at her. Her hair was a vibrant violet and her eyes were a fiery red. Her wings were an outstanding pink. Her skin was the color of a blossoming peach. She was lean and graceful and his heart stopped just by looking at her.
"Limanth cantoth Jolnith," she called again, slowly walking towards him. Somehow he knew what she was saying. She was welcoming him home…his name was Jolnith.
"Who are you?" he asked. She smiled.
"I am Ravina," she answered. She stopped next to Anaka. She smiled kindly at the girl who seemed to be frozen in place.
"You love her," Ravina said in a sad voice. John smiled.
"Yes," he answered gazing into Anaka's brown eyes, "I love her."
"She's not one of us," Ravina said sternly looking back at John, "she's one of them. A wizard. A wizard harmed your people, killed your grandfather."
He stiffened.
"Those were evil wizards," he whispered squeezing Anaka's hands, "Anaka isn't like them."
"She isn't?" Ravina asked quietly. John felt a cold feeling spread through his body coming from their joined hands.
"You must come home Jolnith, and she can not come with you."
John cried out in surprise as Anaka suddenly disappeared. Behind Ravina, another Zekan woman appeared. The woman walked towards him and took his hand.
"Come home," she whispered, "Kas Homil." John stared at her as she leaned forward and kissed him…
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
John woke slowly from his dream. His lips burned with the memory of the strange woman's kiss. He gently touched his lips. Who was she? Was the dream trying to tell him he was close to finding Abaron? Uneasily he closed his eyes. Would Anaka really be unable to go with him?
I will not leave her, he thought sternly. The soft pad of reptilian feet went unnoticed as he drifted to sleep.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Remus opened his eyes to find himself in his bed in his house by the lake. He sighed happily as a figure stirred beside him. Gently, he stroked the woman's bare shoulder. She turned towards him with a smile on her face.
"You're lovely Leslie," he whispered. Leslie giggled and closed her eyes.
Not wanting to disturb her, Remus quietly got out of bed. He walked into the bathroom. As he flipped on the light, he noticed a strange woman standing inside. Remus froze.
"You cheater," the woman growled. Remus's stomach churned.
"Molly," he stuttered, "you're…you're dead!"
"Do you love her more than me?" Molly screamed, "Are you happy you killed me?! So that now you can be with her!?"
"No!" Remus yelled back. Then she was gone. Shaking Remus stared at the place where Molly had been standing. What was going on? Slowly, he walked out of the bathroom and into his bedroom. Only there he found another unpleasant surprise. He turned pale as he recognized the figure lying beside Leslie. It was Severus! Leslie glared at Remus.
"You only cared for me because I resembled her," she accused moving closer to Severus.
"Maybe you should go Lupin," Severus sneered, an evil smile playing across his face. Remus clenched his fists. This was not happening! It wasn't real!
"I told you she was a liar, but did you listen? Nooo," a voice jeered behind him. Remus cried out in protest as Severus turned and kissed Leslie. Then the scene faded and Remus was standing by the lake.
Remus took a jagged breath and stared at the placid water. He heard someone walking towards him from behind.
"I told you to get rid of her," the same voice from the bedroom hissed. Remus turned slightly to see Sirius stop beside him.
"She'd never…" Remus's voice cracked.
"Well she did," Sirius growled.
Then he turned and looked at the lake. Remus followed his gaze. His stomach churned when he realized the moon the lake was reflecting was giving off a lot of light. He slowly looked up to see a full moon. Remus felt the symptoms hit him like a train. He groaned and fell to his knees. He looked up hoping to see Sirius but he was gone. Then another figure fell to their knees in front of him.
"It's horrible growing up like this," the girl said coldly. Remus looked up into the dark eyes of his daughter.
"I'm …sorry," he stuttered. Anaka cocked her head to one side, her face expressionless.
"I go through hell every month. Because of you," she replied. Remus felt a deep sorrow come over him. She was right.
"I never meant for any of it to happen," he cried. Anaka shook her head.
"We're nothing but no good werewolves. And you're the worst sort…"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Remus cried out as he sat up in bed. He was drenched with sweat. The images and words of the dream haunted him. He buried his face in his hands. Was it true? Was it wrong of him to love Leslie? Was there an uncanny resemblance between Leslie and Molly?
Remus moaned. Anaka had been right though, of that he was sure. It was his fault his daughter went through hell. He had forced his horrible illness onto her. What type of father was he?
His thoughts consumed him the rest of the night. He did not notice the movement of the moon across the sky, he did not care that sleep never came, and he did not hear a small creature leave the room.
