Chapter Two – Time To Tell

" I have memories of my family, childhood, and friends, but thye're all fake. I only found out about it a few months ago. I know it was before I met all of you, but it was just something I had to figure out how to deal with on my own. You understand this, right?"

Remus reminded silent. I guess finding out that one of your best friends and fellow Order-members being demon is a little shocking... so I went on.

" First I started to have all these weird and scary dreams. I thought they were from the stress. You know, fighting against Voldemort and everything. Then they started to get worse. I fainted at work and had visions of my past. You certainly remember when Tonks suddenly came up with my 'secret mission' about a month ago as an excuse for my absence? Well, I told her my secret and she promised to help me. So we prepared my cover story and I disappeared. First I went back where I was born. I searched for my so-called parents and friends. They weren't there. I asked around and found out that they never existed. All my memories of my youth are part of a big illusion. When I started to remember my real self, the pictures and voices disappeared into nothing. Eventually, I found something interesting. This amulet." At this point I showed Remus my eye-shaped silver medal which I had been wearing as a necklace recently. '' Be careful, don't touch it. It's pure silver. "

Remus examined it carefully without touching it.

" Remus? Please say something," I asked him with a pleading tone.

" Well, what do you expect me to say?" he answered finally. His usually tender voice was harsh.

" I don't know! Anything! It was so damn hard keeping these things from you guys, especially Sirius. And now, he is gone and..." My voice trailed away as I broked down and started to cry uncontrollably. Soon I felt Remus putting one arm around my trembling body and pull me close. I sobbed on his shoulder for a long time.

" Hush, I am sorry, Cassie. I know it must have been hard for you. "

" It's o---okay. I am so---sorry too," I tried to apologize; it was fairly difficult with me hiccuping and all...

" So where were we? Oh, yes, I found this amulet and I stopped searching. Well, everything was okay for a while untill one night I received a small silver box. There was a small luminous orb inside and when I touched it I got all my real memories back. It was --- terrible." My voice died again. It really was terrible.

Remus gave my hand a small squeeze encouraging me to finish the story.

" Well, it turned out my mother was an angel. No kidding. One of the Three Fallen Angels. They were thrown out from The Giophros about two hundred years ago after The Grand Noir. The other two angels disappeared but mum decided to remain here on Earth. She met my Muggle dad and they got married. Dad was a secret agent, he worked for the CIA, KGB, FBI and on. When I was born, Mum wanted to give me a full life so she created one. She told my dad I died and she abandoned me. I was raised by imaginary forceful creatures whom I believed to be loving and caring parents. At least that's what I know," I finished with a desperate sigh. It felt really good talking things out. I was certain I would have exploded if I didn't tell somebody soon.

" I see," Remus said quietly. " And how do you plan to bring Sirius back? "

He understood. Oh, Merlin, he listened and he believed me.

With a small yelp I hugged my dear werewolf friend warmly. " Thank you," I whispered to him.

" You're quite welcome," he smiled gently.

" So, about Sirius. Well, that's quite an interesting story. I will be needing Tonks' help. What did you say which room she's in? "
