The next morning, Seraph woke up with Sirius cuddled up beside him. He watched the boy sleep and felt a tug on his heart. This boy was a victim of an assault the other night and the picture of a bleeding Sirius would forever remain in his mind.

He licked the boy on the cheek and rested his head on the pillows. Sirius stirred in his sleep and cuddled closer to Seraph. A smile came upon his lips as he watched the boy sleep. He felt angry, and felt like taking on Sirius's idea of eating his parents.

That could wait until he felt that Sirius was better about the other night. No matter what, Seraph would make sure that last nights incident would never happen again. He felt horrible. Just knowing that he was upstairs the whole time and could've come down and stop it made him feel horrible.

/ I'm never leaving his side while he's here. / He said to himself.

Sirius then groaned in his sleep and started to blink his eyes open. He reached up a hand and rubbed at his eyes. He winced painfully and got up off the bed to the mirror. He saw a blue bruise just over his left eye.

"Damn," he cursed.

/ Good morning. /

"Morning Seraph," Sirius replied. "Do I look ugly?"

/ No. That bruise just shows that you were in a fight. /

"I'll tell my friends I fell down the stairs and I hurt myself or something," he said.

/ Very well. /

"What do you want to do today?" Sirius asked.

/ Whatever you would like. /

"Anything but stay here is good," Sirius said.

/ Then let's go outside. /

"Right. Let me get ready and then we'll go."

After Sirius finished getting ready they snuck away and out the door. Sirius watched as Seraph stretched his long body and dug his nails into the snow. He let out a soft roar and started to jog away.

Sirius pulled his cloak closer around his body and followed him. He then got a wicked idea and started to gather snow off the ground. Seraph stopped when he noticed Sirius wasn't following him and he got hit with a snowball right in the face.

"Hahaha," Sirius laughed. "Gotcha!"

/ What was that for? /

"Snowball fight!" Sirius called and started to gather more snow.

/ Snowball fight? /

"Yep, watch out!" Sirius called and threw another snowball.

Seraph easily got out of the way and charged at Sirius. He retreated as Sirius got another snowball and threw it his way. It hit him in the back and he turned to Sirius.

"I'm the snowball king!!" Sirius yelled and did a little funky dance.

Seraph quirked his right eye up but took this opportunity and charged at Sirius again. Sirius stopped dancing and saw Seraph running at him. "Ahhhhh!" he shouted and ran away.

Seraph smirked in his mind and kept on chasing Sirius. Increasing in speed. Sirius rushed into the forest and ran. He felt a delicious breeze course through his hair and face and he inhaled the scent of the forest deeply.

This felt so right. Running through the forest again. That's when he remembered that he had to beat Seraph and he increased in speed. "I'm gonna win. I'm gonna win."

/ Not today little one. /

Seraph sped past him once again. "What?" he tried to catch up but it was impossible.

Seraph beat Sirius again. / Very good Sirius. You have improved tremendously./

"Okay, I didn't beat you this time but I will someday!" Sirius coughed.

/ Note the key word, SOMEDAY. /

"Shut up!"

/ Alright Sirius. I'm going to leave you off at the edge of the forest and I want you to wait for me there. Don't go inside your home without me. /

"Why are you leaving me off there?" Sirius asked.

/ I'm going to hunt. / Seraph replied.

"Oh, can I see?" Sirius asked. "I want to see you catch something!"

/ Sorry little one. I'd rather you don't. Maybe someday. /

"You mean when I could beat you?" Sirius asked.

/ I suppose. /

"Oh come on! I want to see you catch something and tear it up into pieces and eat it." He started to pretend he was tearing something. " I feel sorry for the things you eat. Your so big and fast. They'll have a quick death," Sirius said. "And have no chance," he winked.

/ It's not that I chose to kill them. It's what I have to do in order to survive. /

"I understand Seraph," Sirius said. "Is it easy hunting?"

/ If you know what you are doing. /

"Mmmhmmm. Will you be long?"

/ No. I shouldn't be. I usually catch things pretty quickly. /

When they reached to the edge of the forest, Seraph left Sirius and turned back into the forest. "What should I do know?" Sirius asked himself.

He decided to wander around the back of the mansion for a while. He started to daydream and wonder what his friends were up to. Tomorrow was Christmas and he couldn't wait to send his friends his gifts tonight so they could open it tomorrow morning.

He then drifted off into a deep daydream and continued to walk along the snowy ground. That was a mistake. Before even Sirius could realize what had happened, as he put his right foot down, the earth bellow him shattered and he had fallen straight through it.

He was hit with a pang of cold. He froze. He couldn't breath. He opened his eyes and saw blue auroras all around him. He kicked his arms and legs and registered that he was in water…. The lake behind the mansion! How could he have forgotten?

He looked feverishly around him and up overhead. He saw light… The sun. He tried to swim to it. Kicking hard. When he reached the top of the lake he reached out his arms but didn't touch air. He met solid ice.

He began to panic and quickly started to move his arms around to try to find an opening. He was losing breath and he felt faint. His left hand then drifted over something sharp and he attached himself to it and pulled up.

He held the edge of the ice hard and he resurfaced out of the lake and drew in a huge gasp of air. But he quickly fell back down just as fast as he had gotten up. Now he knew where the escape was and he swam over to it again.

He found it but couldn't pull himself up over the edge. His cloths had absorbed a lot of water and he was growing weak. He did the last possible thing, "HELP!" he called.

He choked on water as he fell back in. He resurfaced again, "Help me!"

Inside the house, Mr. Black walked casually in a robe past the back glass doors and to the sink. He heard a faint voice and looked to his right and peered outside the window. Off in the distance he saw something bobbing and out of view. "Help me!" the figure called. He grinned evilly and his eyes showed happiness. He finished at the sink and walked away with a grin plastered on his face. He left the kitchen and walked away.

"Somebody help!" Sirius called. That's when Sirius started to simmer down. He was tired and weak. He tried his best to keep his head above the water and to take in enough oxygen.

He was freezing! The water was so cold! His teeth chattered and soon he wasn't able to use his voice anymore. He started to just cling to the wall. Maybe he could stay there long enough until somebody found him.

Somebody….Seraph! Seraph would find him for sure. Sirius was sure of it! He would wait until Seraph came back and then Seraph would get him out. Please Seraph…. Help me…. He pleaded.

Time seemed to have stopped. Everything grew silent and faint. He couldn't hear anything. He felt the coldness affecting him. Sinking into his bones and pulling him under. His eyes grew heavy and he felt tired and drowsy.

His mouth was dry and he felt like a statue. Without noticing he started to lose his grip on the ice and slide backwards. It looked like a dream. His eyes stayed open as he fell into the cold water once again.

He saw light over him. He wanted to reach it; to touch it and grasp it. All of that seemed far away. Something then moved over his gaze and he heard a rush of water. The once still water crashed violently and Sirius wasn't sure why.

The next thing Sirius knew was that he felt as if he was being tugged. He watched as the light over him started to get nearer and brighter. He put on a weak smile and reached out a hand to grasp the light. He was welcomed with open arms.

A cold rushed of air hit his face as he resurfaced the water. He was pulled out of the hole and was dragged away from it. Sirius started to shiver as he lay frozen on the ground. As he kept on inhaling and exhaling air his mind started to get clearer.

He tried to open his eyes as he felt something licking the side of his face. "Ser…aph? He coughed.

/ Hush little one. Your safe with me. /

Sirius smiled as he lay back and let sleep take him over.
