---Chapter Six---

Sirius groaned when his skull connected with stone. The rock he landed on wasn't very comfortable, or any less painful. His head spun, a pounding headache beginning to form. All he could think of though was the safety of the other occupants of this clearing. I'm going to die, I know it he thought miserably. Sirius weakly pushed himself up, only to eat dirt again. This creature wasn't allowing him time to even get up.

Lily seemed just as frightened about the situation. Her calculating eyes were trying to find a flaw in the beast, but it was no use, it was almost like the thing wasn't even real! Wait Lily thought I have memorized the Care of Magical Creatures books and nothing ever mentioned this thing. That must be it, it was summoned. Lily knew that was possible, but you had to have a very high level of skill that even some Auror's don't possess.

It was the only explanation though, because this creature isn't even in existence, it was just created. Lily wiped her eyes, refusing to cry.

"Sirius!" She yelled, "MOVE!"

The boy looked just in time to see a curse flying his way. Without a second thought, he ducked out of the way and rolled a little ways. A painful screech was heard above him, almost as if the dragon was in tremendous pain. Sirius looked over to Lily, her wand positioned, a look of concentration etched into her normally gentle features.

Finally, the screams of agony stopped, the ground quaking as the creature fell to the ground. Sirius gulped and looked back. The beasts' wide with pain and terror, mouth slightly gaping. Lying on its back, it wasn't all that threatening anymore. That look struck a memory for Sirius though; he used to be forced to watch his mother use a spell on people. They fall to the ground dead, a look of terror on their faces.

This was different though, it had a painful face plastered on, and the spell his mother used on those victims never caused that. He crawled over to her Lily was on her hands and knees, panting from exhaustion. Sirius plopped down on the ground with a chuckled and offered her a high-five. She accepted, obviously pleased she could help with the fight.

"What was that spell Lily?" Sirius asked, hefting James onto his back.

"I found in the restricted section when Dumbledore said I could study there for Defense against the Dark Arts," she said, brushing dust off of her, "the spell is extremely complicated and feeds off of your emotions."

"English please," Sirius stated, not really getting it. He positioned James a little better and he waited till Lily was down still observing the clearing.

"The spell has no real effect, it works off of your emotions," Lily said, "if you are feeling angry, the spell will hurt something or someone, if you are happy the spell will make people around you happy. It digs into what you are really feeling deep down, at the time; I was feeling, angry, scared, and sad.

"The spell then read those feelings, and cast something that was very powerful. It was not illegal, if it was that you were thinking of," Lily said at last. Sirius nodded, finally getting the picture.

"What is the incantation?" He asked, watching as Lily studied the creatures every feature, memorizing it.

"Elecaminatcha mela ca namen," she said it as if it was the simplest thing in the world. She jumped when the creature blew away, nothing but dust. Sirius went over to her, looking serious. He watched with curiosity as she bet down and picked up a card.

"What does it say?" Sirius asked, peering over her shoulder, hoping to get a better look at it. James stirred slightly, a sign of waking.

Lily paled visibly, "it says: 'I'm coming'."

James woke up, rubbing his eyes slightly, wincing at the pain in his side, "what's that Sirius…Lily?"

"A warning," Sirius said, "I bet it is that freak, he's not just after Remus, he's after all of us."

"I think we should investigate this," Lily said softly, handing the card to James, who was set down by Sirius, "I bet it will lead us to Remus."

"Deal." Both Sirius and James said.

Remus sighed, looking out the small window, the only thing providing light. His gaze flickered over to the doorway, Moony immediately going on alert. Remus tried to calm the werewolf in him, but he was too weak at the moment, having just woken up.

Roy entered, that infuriating smirk plastered in his face. He seemed too happy that day, like he found something that he was able to get.

"Hello my little cub," he purred, "hopes you had enough sleep. You will need your strength; in one week will be the full moon again." Remus instinctively moved away, but was met by the wall.

Damn. He forgot that the bed was positioned next to the wall.

"Here is your breakfast, little cub."

"..."

"Why don't you answer your master, little cub, it is incredibly impolite."

"…"

There were two reasons why Remus wasn't answering, one was because his throat was parched and he hadn't used it for quite awhile now. The second reason was because he hated Roy, he hated him more than the Slytherins.

"You should learn to speak," Roy said taking out a cigarette and lighting it, "when spoken too." He grabbed Remus' scrawny little arm, pulling up the sleeve of his outfit for that day. "Have it your way," Roy whispered, jabbing the lit end of the cigarette on the pale flesh. Remus whimpered, his werewolf side getting angrier by the minute.

"Now, let's try it again," Roy whispered in his ear, "here is your breakfast little cub."

Remus pursed his lips together, refusing to give this man the satisfaction of victory. He bit his lip as the cigarette descended to another part of his arm. No matter what, he wouldn't do anything that would make this man happy. He just had to hope that Sirius would come. He had to ignore what Roy was planting into his mind and hope that Sirius would come.

Moony still didn't know why he was getting this punishment, he had no idea why this man was burning his arm, and he had no idea why this man wanted to mate with him. Moony whimpered, why was his human counterpart going through this?

"You little bitch," Roy whispered, "you have no idea what kind of hell I can bring you! Do you want to end up like my last mate, huh!"

Remus snapped his in Roy's direction.

"Another mate," he whispered.

"That's right," Roy said, obviously pleased Remus had spoken, "we became one too, had to use three other sacrifices though. The boy was much more submissive than you though, which was a good thing. After the ceremony, I was at full power but still had room for more, so I went out in search for someone just as good. I happened to see you at Hogsmeade two years ago, from then on I have been watching you, studying, calculating when I could strike.

"During that time I also came up with enough power to get into the Shrieking Shack without Albus Dumbledore noticing." Roy finished with an air around him that was saying that he was proud. Remus scooted further away.

"Also, I was out today and stumbled upon the perfect candidates for the sacrificial part," Roy said, "are you familiar with Sirius Black, James Potter, and Lily Evans?" Remus couldn't breath; his heart was pumping in his throat.

Not his friends, not the only people that accepted him. Not Sirius.

"They are perfect," Roy whispered. Remus couldn't stop them in time; he couldn't stop the tears that cascaded down his cheeks. "They are perfect, the very love they have for you will be turned into the very thing that will destroy you."

Remus grabbed the sides of his head, hoping to just wake up from this nightmare. Roy caressed his cheek, roughly wiping the tears away. "Don't you love it when things don't go your way?"

Remus fell into Roy's waiting arms, unconscious.

-----------------

Sirius supported James down the hill back into the town, hoping that they could stop at the inn there. Lily looked just as exhausted, the spell taking its toll on her magic and body. Sirius himself was too tired to speak to any of them, worried sick over Remus.

"My god," a voice said behind them when they reached the town, "are you three okay?"

All of them turned to see a portly woman, holding bags of what looked like groceries. Lily sighed in relief, the first person that actually spoke to them.

"You poor things, please, let us go to my home," she said sweetly, "you three look like you just had a fight with a monster."

If only she knew all of them seemed to think at the same time.

They reached a nice looking house, not to big but not to small. It was a brick house with a nice garden in the front. A picket fence surrounded the yard, giving it a homey appearance. They walked into the house, Sirius immediately setting James down on the small sofa. The messy haired boy immediately became unconscious again.

Sirius frowned, not liking the state his best friend was in. It reminded him of Remus after the full moons, sometimes Moony would cut him open completely.

If only he had marked Remus. If only he could have claimed him as his. If only Remus was here. Well, it was useless to contemplate on 'if only' circumstances. He had to get James healed and save Remus from something that could destroy him. The woman came back with a first aid kit and her wand.

"Now, if you excuse me I have to take care of him," she said politely, Sirius moved to the side, letting the woman tend to him. He looked over just in time to see Lily leave the room, gentle tears running down her cheeks.

Sirius frowned, got up and followed her out onto the back porch. "Hey," he greeted when he finally reached her. Lily tensed and whipped around, her body visibly relaxing when she saw who it was. "Oh Sirius, I didn't notice you coming." She babbled, trying in vain to wipe her eyes dry. Sirius' frown increased, worried.

"I was just thinking," she said, "about how James could have died and I would never get the chance to tell him…"

Sirius blinked, waiting for her to continue.

"I wanted to tell him that, back in first year, I fell in love with him," she said softly, "then in second year he got worse, more arrogant, and pigheaded, I was beginning to loose interest in him. Then in third year he just got worse, so I fell out of love with him. When he protected me back there though, I felt that feeling back in first year. I just wanted to tell him that I was thankful, but after he was unconscious I thought I wouldn't ever get that chance."

Sirius thought about what she said. Remus he thought. He had no idea where that came from, but it gave him a thought. From the first moment he had seen the frail boy on the train, something clicked in his head. He was overly protective of the boy, hoping to shield him from all the bad that were in the world, knowing he has suffered enough. Now, Sirius let him down, allowing that freak to kidnap him.

Before he could stop himself he spoke, but his wasn't the only voice, "I love him."

Lily looked at Sirius in surprise, Sirius looking at Lily with the same expression.

"Glad to hear it Lily," Sirius finally said, "because he loves you too."

"Same with Remus Sirius," she replied, "he loves you too."

Both smiled, well, at least that could motivate him to get Remus back.

"Hello my puppets," a voice said in front of them. Lily and Sirius looked up to see a man, his amber eyes glinting dangerously. He was holding James, the boy looking in pain. Sirius knew him, he was the man Sirius had met earlier, when they were first looking for Remus.

"Let him down," it was Lily's voice, she sounded worried, than again so was he. Sirius knew something was off about the man.

"Don't worry, you will have yours soon," He said, disappearing, James going with him.

"NO JAMES!" Two voices screamed out.
