Soundtrack to chapter: My Immortal, Evenescence.

Chapter four: Beginning, Life, Oblivian: Part one: Beginning.

Sirius's chest heaved up and down, his lungs gasping for air. What in Lucifer's name had he been thinking?! He couldn't let Serilda kill Remus! No, not that he wanted him dead, but if Remus was going to die, then it should be a quick and painless death; not the type of death that Serilda probably had in mind. He could just imagine it. She'd cut the skin of his scalp, neck, shoulders, all the way to his feet, and peel it off slightly, keeping him alive to feel the pain, as she stretched him and cut him numerous times therein. She probably go as far as to cutting out his kidney while he was still awake. Sirius cringes at the thought.

Violently he shakes his head. He knew Remus was still alive, and not in pain. He'd feel both. That causes him to relax a bit, but not enough to let himself go off guard. Serilda would take any chance she got now to kill him. But the question he kept asking himself was: where does someone start in Hogwarts? The school was a castle. He could be anywhere. Sirius thinks back. He left him in the.... bath... room.. Sirius smiles, he'd probably still be there; after all, it hadn't been too long since he was there with Sirius. He begins to sprint, heading for said place.

Serilda all but skips down the hall, looking for Remus. She knew her brother had given her permission to kill him, but once he thought it over, he'd be there to stop her. But, he had two choices. One, let her kill Remus, or, two, be seperated, but human. This was her real birthday present, and she never got a chance to actually torture them, like she had originally planned, but this was almost as good. Serilda had been able to do this for most of her life.

Whenever a new Shinigami came along, she'd welcome them, but soon enough, once they fell in love, she'd challenge them. They were given the same choices, but the last had chose the second one, and was seperated with his love. He'd regretted it for a long while, but soon forgot it, and went on; soon enough he fell in love again. This time, he was able to keep his love, and Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Black were happy together. But, Serilda had an idea that Sirius wouldn't do that. She felt a twist would be added to the first. When that happened, she'd be happy. She'd get more then one job then. At this, she smiles as she pulls her hair out of the pigtails and lets it fall.

Remus is up ahead.

Sirius goes through the bathroom, looking for the Remus Lupin, but with no luck. Why had he left? Why had he stopped? He hadn't stopped before, and this time, it was actually someone he loved. Was he scared? No, Shinigami never got scared, especially over an emotion. But, that was the only thing the raven haired boy could think of. It could be that, but that was a strong emotion.

Suddenly, Sirius' back arches forward as a blinding pain radiates through his spine. He cries out; his breathing becomes jagged as he falls, whimpering and shaking a bit. Then, various cuts appeared on his body, but no blood seaped out, no veins had actually been cut on him. Serilda had found one of their 'family members', but who, and where? Sirius painfully drags himself up and limps out of the bathroom to find his sister.

***

Serilda, her father, End, and Assassin all stood around Remus Lupin, who laid on the floor, curled up into a ball and whimpering. His face was paler then usual, and lacerations littered his body, still bleeding profusely. Serilda laughs as she pulls the blood toward her and into her body. This was her power, her life sorce. Kill, and be kept alive by blood and blood loss. Shakily, Remus gets up, and Serilda's face twists in sadistic delight.

Remus sighs, trying to think of a way to defeat them, but he knew he couldn't by himself. But he had to try something, anything, or he'd be dead before anyone actually realized it. He lets out a small noise before he swings out with his leg at Serilda, but Assassin is there though, quickly enough to block the attack.

Serilda growls, watching as his breathing becomes quicker. "What do you think you are doing, boy?" She demands, pushing Assassin out from in front of her. "You little brat, I sh....ould..." Remus slowly raises his head. The pupils of his eyes were gone, only grey was surrounded by white. Blood gasps at this sight. "You?! Who are you?!!" Serilda yells. Remus laughs. "Don't you know?" He shrugs nonchalantly before he begins to chant. Unexpectedly, chains rise quickly from the ground and bind the threein front of him. "I'm you cousin, Blood. I'm called Bind. Remember, Serilda?" Again Remus laughs; he sits down, one leg stretched out in front of him with the other loosely brought up. "But, lucky for you, I can't actually kill you. Not yet. I could try by choking you, but it never worked before, so why should it help now?" Remus watches as, beside Serilda, Assassin tries to pull apart the chains. "Ahahahhh. Stop that, Kyo. It's not nice to try and break a present from a family member."

"What do you plan to do, now that you have us bound?" End says, not looking at Bind. The light brunette contenplates this for a moment. "Well, from what I understand-" Remus is suddenly interupted by a loud noise, and he looks to it's origin.

One hooded, and two delicatly robed figures stand in front of them. The closest to Remus was a woman. Her blonde hair was flawless and her blue eyes shone of innocence, but power. She smiles kindly at Bind, then shifts her gaze to the three in front of him. The second was a man, messy brown hair and bright emrerald eyes covered by thick round glasses, who seemed familar. Then it hits Remus. "J-James!" Bind stutters, but the man only shakes his head, smiles, and also looks at in front of Remus. Last, the hooded figure, who has removed the hood, has a woman's face. Her eyes were pure black, making her skin seem unhumanly pale. She just looks at Remus, then follows the two before her. Remus gulps as he stands, awe obvious in his eyes. "Who are you?" He asks. The blonde answers first. "I am Beginning, your mother." Then the man, "I'm Life." and finally the last woman. "Oblivion." "What are you doing here?!!" Serilda cries.

Beginning steps out from the line and smiles. "Mother." She takes End's hand in her own, then Life follows, taking Assassin's hand, then Oblivion takes Blood's. Remus tries to speak, but is blocked out by Blood's chanting. Remus wobbles on his feet before falling to his hands and knees. He watches as his blood is pulled to Serilda, who continues her chanting. From Remus wounds, his blood begins to spill out, making him weaker by the moment.

"Remus!!" Suddenly, Peter comes through the hall, but is stopped by End's chanting.

"Remus!!!" Sirius takes Remus into his arms, trying to keep both of them sitting up. He looks at the others and gasps. "Mother!" Beginning nods. Remus looks at him, Bind going to back of his mind. "Mother? Who.. Are you Sirius?" Sirius sighs, about to answer him when his mother, Oblivion, and Life begins to glow. Behind them, just before he closes his eyes, Shinigami can see the shadows of Blood, End, and Assassin.
