A Tale and a Moon
~*~*~
A/N: so Hi again, lol. Lets see..this'll be sad and stuff, lol. And there's FLUFF..yeah, I'm scary. Sooo..just read and review! PLEASE!
~*~*~
Remus and Kayz were sitting by the lake, watching the octopus. (Seems boring, huh? You'd have to be there, lol). Luckily, it wasn't very cold out, so they could sit there for hours at a time if they wanted. Remus was against the tree and Kayz was sitting in front of him, almost like being on Santa's knees. (It's almost Xmas so..lol). It was very peaceful, since all the loud kids (most of them being the Marauders and the girls) were asleep to be hyper the next day. Remus suddenly sighed deeply.
"The moon should blow up," he said.
"That was random," Kayz said.
"Random, but true," Remus replied, then he sighed again, but not as long as the first one. "I hate full moons!"
"I know, but maybe they'll find a cure for it!" Kayz said, trying to look at the bright side.
"I really doubt that, but I guess you could be right," Remus said, and they sat in silence yet again.
"Remus," Kayz started saying, breaking the silence before it was..too silent. "Could you tell me..how you were..bitten?" She didn't want to get him upset about the thing; he never talked about it. Kayz needed, and wanted, to know, however.
"Well," Remus said after a pause. "I got it when I was around 6, I think..yeah. Romulus and I were outside in the evening, just enjoying the day and stuff. We were walking around, joking, and all that, by the woods near our house. Well..I heard this sound, like a rustling sound, come from the edge of the woods. I didn't think much of it; I just thought it was a squirrel or something. As Romulus and I were heading back, the rustling sound became louder.." Remus paused a little bit, taking a deep breath. Kayz wasn't going to hurry him up with the story, of course.
"Anyways, I turned around and I saw something there. At first, I thought it was a dog, but when I looked closer, I saw that it was a werewolf. . . ."
*~*~*PAST*~*~*
"Romulus," A 6 year old Remus whispered. "Don't freak out or anything, but I'm pretty sure there's a werewolf behind us."
"Yeah, I bet there is, Remus," Romulus (who's 8) said, laughing. "You and your imagi--" Romulus looked back and saw the werewolf, and his face turned pale. The front door to their house opened
"Remus, Romulus, you best come inside, it's getting dark," It was their mother. She couldn't see them because it was already pretty dark out.
"Don't yell," Remus whispered, just as Romulus was going to open his mouth. "That'll get the werewolf to come straight at us."
"Then what are we suppose to do?" Romulus asked; there was fear in his voice.
"Slowly..and I mean slowly, walk towards the house," Remus said, and they did so. It would probably take forever to get back, but if they didn't run, they'd have a chance to not be attacked. A few minutes later, their mum came back out.
"Remus, Romulus, get a move on! It's too dark to stay out!" she called, and she took out a flashlight to see better. She pointed it on Remus and Romulus and then around them and froze; she saw the werewolf. After a few minutes, she hurried inside. Then their mum came back out, along with their dad.
"Stay where you are!" he (They're dad) yelled, but not very loud so the werewolf wouldn't attack. "Just stay still." Their dad slowly, though faster then Remus and Romulus were going, made his way towards them with his wand out.
A few minutes later, he reached Remus and Romulus.
"Ok, now, follow me back before it attacks," he told them, and they did so. They were so close to the house that they could've ran the rest of the way.
Suddenly, there was a loud, cracking sound that came out of no where. Before anyone knew it, the werewolf finally came charging at them; that was when they ran. Their dad was leading, yelling for them to run faster. Romulus was the second, and Remus was (of course) last, trying to run as fast as he could. . .
Before he knew it, Remus tripped on a root sticking up out of the ground. He fell face first into the ground. When he tried to get up, there was a huge pain going through his ankle; it was twisted. Remus turned around to see where the werewolf was, only to come face to face with it. It's teeth were baring and it was growling vicously. All Remus could do was stay absolutaly still and quiet; not even breathe.
"REMUS!" it was his dad. Remus, however, didn't answer back. He needed to be quiet..not make a sound..no noise whatsoever. 'Oh no' Remus thought. 'I'm gunna sneeze!'. Before he could help it, he did. In that second, everything in his life changed.
The werewolf plunged forward, biting Remus in the arm. He let out a piercing scream, followed by another one from his mum. His dad yelled and fired some curses at the werewolf. Everything around Remus was blurry, and he felt pain beyond normal. Before he knew it, even though he hardly felt it, he was being carried back into his house. After that, he didn't remember any more. . . .
*~*~*AN HOUR LATER (still in the past btw)~*~*~
Remus opened his eyes to a white room. Everything was still blurry but he could tell that there were two people in the room as well. As soon as he was able to focus more, he saw that the two people were his mum and Romulus.
"Are you ok, dear?" His mum asked, though her voice was quivering and she was very pale. It even looked like she was crying.
"Where am I?" Remus asked, though he was pretty sure he knew where already.
"St. Mungos," his mum said. Remus looked around for his dad, but saw no one.
"Where's dad?" he asked. His mum and Romulus looked at each other and he saw tears form in their eyes. "Mum..what happened to dad??"
"He..well..when he tried to get there werewolf away from you..it.." His mum started, but she took a deep, shaky breath. "Remus..he..he was killed by the werewolf."
"No..no!" Remus yelled out. "It can't be! DAD CAN'T BE DEAD!"
"Remus, I'm sorry," his mum said, giving him a long hug. "I know it's hard to hear it but no matter how hard we try to think otherwise..it's always going to be true."
"But how can the werewolf kill dad but not me?" Remus asked angrily.
"The werewolf REALLY attacked your dad, but he only bit you," his mum said, "but..it didn't just give you a lot of pain and a mark..Remus, if a werewolf bites you and you live through it, you become a werewolf yourself.."
"I'm a werewolf.." Remus whispered, looking at the sheets of his bed. His mum leaned in and gave him a hug, and Romulus joined in as well..life would be different from that moment on. . . .
*~*~* BACK TO REMUS AND KAYZ *~*~*
"Oh, Remus!! I'm so sorry!" Kayz said, turning around to look at Remus.
"Don't be, it's not your fault," Remus said. "It's ok, though. I just have to live with it; it isn't so bad." He took Kayz's hand into his and held on tight, not wanting to let go and loose her. They sat there for a while, but then they had to head back to the castle.
"I better hurry up and find Professor McGonagall," Remus said when they entered the Gryffindor Common Room.
"Yeah.." Kayz said, sighing. She didn't want him to go.
"Don't worry," Remus said, smiling. "It won't be long."
"A week seems long to me," Kayz said, giving him a small smile in return. She put her arm around his neck and he put his arms around her hips.
"I'll be back before you know it," Remus whispered to her. "I always am, aren't I?" He leaned in a kissed her softly on the lips. "I'll talk to you in a week, then, I guess."
"Yeah.." Kayz said. "I love you."
"I love you, too," Remus said, smiling, and with one last wave, he left. . . .
