(disclaimer- i own nothing except Mary and Haden)
....she was dead.
"So it ends," Remus thought, before falling to the ground and bursting into tears.
Mary was trapped in a cold and dark dimension. "Sirius?" she called. "Remus?"
Suddenly there was a light in the distance and a girl with light brown hair appeared in front of Mary.
"Might as well go towards it while you can," she said. "The world of the living only brings you pain. You know that, Mary."
"Who are you?" Mary asked. "And how do I get back to Sirius and Remus?"
"My name is Haden," said the girl. (a/n- in case anyone is actually interested in my life, im gonna have a half-sister in october and they're naming her Haden. its weird though. too much like my name....) "And why would you want to go back to the world of the living anyway?"
"Look," said Mary, "I need to get back. I don't want to die yet! I need to see Sirius and Remus again."
"It is a foolish choice," Haden said calmly, "You'll just end up back here. You'll go through all that pain and then you'll end up right back where you are now. Just end it now, Mary."
"No!" Mary screamed. "You're going to take me back right now!"
"Very well," said Haden with a smile. "I must say, not many people chose the path you take. Just a few seconds."
The blackness began to fade. Haden called, "Farewell!"
"Thank you!" Mary shouted back. "Thank you so-"
She felt a sharp jolt as she bumped back to reality and felt the intolerable pain again. Gritting her teeth, she felt life in her again.
Sirius and Remus were standing in the middle of Mary's bedroom, just crying softly into the other's shoulder.
Mary opened her eyes and whispered, "Don't cry Padfoot. Don't cry Moony. I'm here. Always will be."
(a/n- okay yea i know it was a bit short. oh and in case anyone was wondering, Haden will NOT be playing any larger role than the girl thats in the other dimension. i swear on the precious. no fingers crossed. hope you liked it i will soon update not much of a life. i go back and forth if anyone hasn't noticed yet. please review!)
