Lorelei spent all of Sunday studying the instructions on the creation of the amulet. There was a potion that needed brewed, as well as an incantation that was to be spoken over the amulets.
Once she was sure she had everything set, she put her black leather bound book away. 'One more ingredient'she thought to herself. Lorelei pushed up the right sleeve of her robe, a long scar ran down the inside of her forearm. She traced the line of it with one of her fingers, losing herself to memories.
'I need one more vital ingredient' the dark robed wizard announced to Lorelei's parents, the young girl standing before them. 'I require the blood of a werewolf.'
'Take whatever you need' her mother's voice sounded in Lorelei's ears, pushing the girl forward.
Lorelei was shaking, the man grabbed her by the wrist roughly, and pushed her sleeve up. 'Hold her still.' Lorelei's father restrained the girl, a bit reluctantly. The man pulled out a shining blade and drew it down the girl's arm. Lorelei cried out in pain.
'Silence girl.' her mother hissed. 'You brought this on yourself.' Lorelei bit into her lip, in order to keep from crying out anymore, tears streamed down her cheeks. The wizard collected the dripping blood in a vial.
Lorelei's father led the girl off to bandage up her arm. 'Why did the man cut me daddy?'
'He's trying to help you sweetheart.' her father began. 'So the wolf doesn't come back anymore.'
'I can be a normal little girl again?' Lorelei asked.
'Yes sweetheart.'
'And mum will love me again?'
'Lorelei, your mother still loves you. She's just...upset about things.' Despite her father telling her that, Lorelei still had her doubts.
Lorelei shook her head to clear if of the memories that had assulted her once more. 'Twelve more days.' she thought to herself. Then the moon would be in the proper phase. If things went well, Remus Lupin would never have to spend another month in fear of the moon. 'And you don't have to spend another month alone'the little voice in her head whispered. Again she shook her head, wondering just where that had come from.
