Last Chapter Ending: 'Wrong again... Incendio Prolongus!' Both girls were writhing in pain as Voldemort's flames danced painfully over their bodies.

'Now... will you join?'

'N...n...n...Never!' Lily gasped.

'Finite Incantecium! WHAT?!'

'There are better things in this world! We would never join you!' Becka and Lily cried together.

'So it has to be...Avada Kedavra!'

Becka and Lily's bonds were lifted, and the two fell limp on the ground.

They were dead.

Chapter 17: Lily Lives!

'This wasn't part of the deal!' Matt cried indignantly to the shadowy figure towering over the girls limp figures.

'Things change...'

'Well I'll have no part in it!' Matt turned to get help, when the green flame hit him in the back.

'No-one leaves and gets away with it...'

Soon, midnight came and James, Sirius and Frances snuck out to the forest to rescue Becka and Lily.

When they arrived, only three heaps were found.

Frances fell weak at the knees, and collapsed in a pile of clothes, flesh and tears.

James and Sirius tried to stay strong, and failed miserably. James hugged Lily's limp body close, as tears dripped down his face onto her lifeless body.

'I never got to tell you Lily... I love you... and I'd give anything to have you with me now...'

Sirius was handling the situation no better. He held Becka's body close, and kissed her forehead.

No-one cared about Matt... The three drew the conclusion that he was the one that kidnapped them, and whoever he took them for went back on the deal... most likely the dark lord.

After an age, Frances spoke.

'We should probably get back now... everyone will get worried. Professor McGonagall must know...'

'Professor!! Come quickly!! Something horrible has happened!' Christina cried shortly after Frances woke her and Arabella up. Remus stood with his friends and with his arm around Frances to try and comfort them.

'They're in a better place now...'

*~+~*

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick ran out from their respective cabins and over to the marauders and the Angels.

'What on Earth...' Professor McGonagall's face when white, before she and Flitwick walked quietly from the students discussing.

Frances picked up very little.

McGonagall: ... The 5th years will go back to Hogwarts immediately. It's not safe here! Flitwick: Yes... I'll alert Dumbledore... this had to have been the Dark lord's work...

'We're going back to Hogwarts...' Frances mumbled.

'Ok... We'll go pack their stuff...' James and Sirius lifted the girls, and walked back to their cabin.

'Dou you think it's healthy for them to keep carrying the girls around like that?' Remus muttered to Frances, who was sobbing on his shoulder.

'Probably not...'

James and Sirius carefully folded Becka and Lily's clothes, and placed them in their bags.

It was Sirius that noticed the small egg timer that could bring the girls back.

'Oy James... isn't this a time turner?'

'Umm... yeah... wait... are you thinking what I'm thinking?'

'I think I am B2...' Sirius replied sarcastically.

'Ha-ha, no... we could use the time turner to go back and rescue the girls...'

'Isn't that illegal?'

'I don't give a shit! Who fucking cares if it's illegal! I love Lily and I want her back!'

'Don't you think I love Becka? God Damn it James, I'm in!'

~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~

The two ran out into the forest clearing with the time turner, James' invisibility cloak, the girls... and... of course, their wands.

Sirius turned the egg timer 3 times, and suddenly, the world around them swirled around them. Soon, they hit the forest floor, and they no longer had the girls... they were tied unconscious to the trees.

'BEAT THAT JAMES POTTER AND SIRIUS BLACK!'

'I think we have...' James melted out of the shadows with Sirius trailing.

'No... you haven't... I have friends in high places... soon these girls will be mine and there's nothing you can do about it...'

'You talk the talk... but can you walk the walk?'

'Sirius?' Becka's eyes fluttered open as he ran toward her.

'Becka! You're alright! Alohamora!' The bonds were broken, and she fell forward onto Sirius.

'Free Lily... Please...' Sirius obliged, and soon the girls were on the ground next to each other, whilst Matt fought Sirius and James.

'Aranea Exemae!' Matt was blasted backward into the lower branches of an oak. He fell back to earth, unconscious.

Becka gently shook Lily awake.

'We need to get out of here... I've seen what's going to happen...'

'What?'

'Voldemort Lily... he's coming... to take us... and kill us...'

'How do you know?' James and Sirius came up to the girls.

'Because... I've been cursed with the ability of sight... and unexplainably passed it on... to two. Frances... and Lily...'

Ok... sorry this is a short chapter, but Writers Block isn't going away...
