bboo: I'm glad you actually liked my story and found it here! I lost my Beta-reader, which I needed to post it almost anywhere else since they don't want mistakes...and my grammar isn't that good. sigh As for Sirius...well, you'll see. (Yeah, I plan to eventually go pretty far in time...but that's in a while)
Sirius: Don't I have something to say about that?
A.D.: Nope, sorry...but you can say the disclaimer!
Sirius gives her a weird look
Sirius: She doesn't own any of us...except those guys who aren't from the canon books.
The Blood Clan and the Marauders
Chapter 8: The Wolf Begins to Close its Jaws
(Crappy title, but it's really late, so I don't care)
Lizzie and Sirius were kneeling behind a big rock, the cold rain soaking their clothes as they listened to the conversation between the stranger in a cloak and the Slytherins.
"...out in the open anymore. We do not want the school closing before we find IT." the woman told them, ignoring the girl. "Also...it would be interesting if the Gryffindors were to find out little Elizabeth's secret. Finally, we, the Elders, have a gift for you lot." a woman's voice declared.
"What the Hell is going on here?" Sirius whispered, looking at Lizzie in a puzzled way.
The girl opened her mouth, then closed it. Then she shrugged, giving him a look she had wanted to be confused, but seemed slightly desperate. The boy returned it with a doubtful one, but he didn't reply. Lizzie silently thanked the heavens for that.
"...carefully. Do not play meaningless games anymore. Use them only when they are needed. The fourth one is destined to your new playmate. He shall help us...wether he wants to or not.."
Lizzie took a sharp intake of bair, thinking of Remus. Sirius once again gave her a puzzled look. She bit her bottom lip and looked towards the school, finally understanding what had happened the night before. She looked back at Sirius just in time to see him try to get a look at the group. Suddenly, he moved back to his original position behind the rock, obviously tensed.
"I think she saw me..." he whispered.
"Shit!"
Karla moved towards the rock, slowly and silently, as a wolf approaching its unaware prey. The younger werewolves remained where they were, unsure what to do. They simply watched as she arrived at the rock and prepared to surprise whoever or whatever she had seen behind it.
In a swift movement, she went around the two Gryffindors' hiding place...only to find an empty space. She frowned and sniffed the air, looking quite angry. She let her gaze drift to the school's grounds and then walked back to the three Slytherins, who looked at her with expectation.
"False alarm, but be careful." she said, before leaving as fast as she had come.
"What was that about?" Miranda asked to the boys.
"No idea, but who cares!?! We've got these!!!" William exclaimed, holding out his pendant.
"Let's just go before someone realizes we're gone and starts looking for us."
They began walking back towards the school, talking.
Back behind the rock, Lizzie and Sirius were sitting with their backs to it. Sirius was looking alternatively at the retreating trio and his friend with a shocked, almost traumatized look. Lizzie seemed extremely tired and let out an heavy sigh.
"What just happened? Why didn't she see us?" Sirius exclaimed.
"Can we just go back, please?" Lizzie pleaded him, ignoring his glare."I'll explain everything, I promise."
He nodded, still glaring, he she looked away, feeling tears forming in her eyes. She didn't have any other option than tell him at least a part of the truth, but how much could she tell him without becoming a monster in his eyes?
Author Note: I'm sorry about the extra short chapter. I really tried to post, but there's so much going on in my life now. The only resason I didn't fall in DEEP depression is because of my friends and my boyfriend. Actually...if I write, right now, it'll be depresssing as hell.
If you want me to go on anyway and see where it leads them(the characters), click on the lil' review button and tell me...I just thought you might not want to see all of them suffer even more than I originally intended...but if you actually do...well...go ahead and tell me. I do have the time and inspiration to do it.
