Epilogue two: Remus
Remus withered in pain. 'You'd think that with time these transformations would get easier,' he thought. Remus could now almost control himself completely in his werewolf form but certain nights were more challenging than others. He screamed in pain and the scream changed to a howl. Opening his now wolf eyes he stared at a picture of his friends. They all lived just a few blocks away from each other, Sirius and Peter in two separate apartment complexes and Lily and James in a lavished house. 'James,' Remus' wolf brain thought. James had caused him so much pain. 'I think I'll pay my old friend a visit,' he thought. Looking around he saw an open window. The wolf in him wanted to get out. Luckily he lived on the first floor of the apartment building. He jumped out the window and landed on the ground with a thud. Balancing himself he ran across the back lawn and through a patch of trees. Remus' human form had forgiven James long ago but the wolf in him held a strong grudge and tonight felt like a great night to get the grudge out.
'No…must stop,' Remus' human form thought trying to break the spell the wolf had on him. 'Get a hold of yourself Remus!' But the wolf wouldn't listen to foolish human desires. Coming through the trees he saw Lily and James' house. He was about to step out of the trees when he saw a figure lurking towards it. He sensed danger and let out a howl, hoping it would warn anyone, most of all Lily and James. The figure looked in his direction but didn't seem to see him in the darkness.
'I've got to get Sirius,' Remus thought frantically. He told the wolf to get going, to go get Sirius. But the wolf knew the intentions were to save Lily and James and it fought with the human part. As Remus' human instincts ran to get help the wolf portion fought back and kept pushing him off course. The wolf wanted to go back and help the figure no matter what the cost because the figure has a sense of evil and danger around it. The wolf in Remus loved evil and danger. The fight urged on so violently that suddenly Remus collided with a tree so hard he was knocked unconscious and knew no more.
