A/N: Hi loyal readers! Sorry for not posting in (what seems like) a century! Very sorry about it! I was traveling most of my summer. But I'm back! And here is chapter 26!!!!! Enjoy!!! ~*~

Sirius, Remus and James flew back to the inn in silence. It was starting to rain slightly; the rain hit them the spears. Artimis's blood soaked Sirius's jeans and white T-shirt. Sirius couldn't see where he was flying, no one could, and the storm had gotten worse.

"DAMNIT!" yelled Sirius, outraged.

Remus flew up next to him and signed to land. Sirius went into a slow dive and James and Remus dived quickly to the ground. They landed on a street about 5 blocks from the Inn. Artimis put her hand on the back of Sirius' head.

"Artimis? Are you awake?" Sirius asked as he got of his broom.

"Just take me to the tower.." She whispered

Sirius looked around, they where next to "Robes for all occasions" "Remus!"

Remus turned and looked at Sirius. "What?" he asked walking over to him.

"The tower." Artimis said again, some black blood came slowly out of her wound. Remus turned to look, and there in the distance, was the clock tower. "The clock tower? Why, but." Remus said sounding confused. The rain was still beating down. "Alright, lets go." Said Remus he turned and ran for his broom. "Sirius? What are you doing, come on!" James yelled as he shoved of the ground and hovered a few feet of the ground.

Sirius shook his head, and then mounted his broom; hold Artimis as secure as possible. He bolted over the buildings, and shops. He flew in the window, soon followed by James and Remus. They all got off they're brooms, Sirius walked over to the corner where Artimis' bed was, and set her down.

"What do we do?" James asked at a whisper. "I don't think there is much any of us can do." Remus regretted "We have to get Voldemort's blood out of her wound;" Sirius mumbled "Then she might have a chance to heal herself..."

Sirius stood up and walked into the other room where there was a sink, shower, and toilet. Sirius took his shirt off and washed the blood off it, then put it back on. He looked around and saw a washcloth, and a towel; Sirius grabbed both of them, and then ran back to Artimis.

"Uh, anything we can do?" James asked Sirius thought for a moment as he pushed Artimis shirt up a little, and started to wipe the black blood away. "Remus watch for a phoenix. James, watch for people coming in here." Sirius said, as he went to get the wash cloth wet.

The two of them nodded and went on to do they're tasks. Sirius had drifted to sleep his head leaning against the wall. James was drifting in and out of conciseness. Remus on the other hand was wide awake looking around, when the rain had let up a little and the sun was starting to raise, he say a red spot flying towards them. Remus let a little smile cross his face and woke up Sirius.

Sirius looked up at him with tired eyes. "Yes what is it?" he mumbled sitting up.

"I think I saw the phoenix." Remus said quietly

Artimis opened her eyes and looked around the room and sat up slightly.

"Artimis! Are you all right? Don't sit up your wound!" Sirius said fully awake

Artimis sat up and look around blankly. "I'm fine Sirius, honest. I heal, thank you for getting ride of the black blood." She said looking at him, se then turned and looked at Remus. "Uh, yeah, um, welcome back." Remus sputtered out

Artimis stood up and swayed a little leaning on Remus until she feel back to the bed.

"Ow..." she mumbled "You shouldn't stand up." Said Sirius, "Lie down, let me see your wound." "I told you it's healed." Artimis mumbled as Sirius looked at the wound, blood was still coming out of it. "It's not healed, Artimis." Sirius said standing up and walking over to the window. "You have to rest Artimis." An owl flew into the window and crashed clumsily onto the floor with a thud. Sirius walked over to the owl and removed the roll of parchment; and read it to himself.

"I have to go, Remus, watch Artimis." Sirius said

"Sirius." Artimis said quietly. "Are you going to see him again? When will I be able to see him?"

"I don't know, I don't know any thing anymore." He mumbled not even looking at her, he ran down the stars and with a slam of the door that echoed through the hollow tower.

"Remus, how long have you known Sirius?" Artimis asked, sitting up a little bit more.

Remus sat down and looked her in the eye. "Five years, this year"

"You're a werewolf, right?"

".Yes." Artimis grinned. "You and Sirius have been through a lot eh?"

Remus just nodded. "How.how did you."

"Die?" Artimis said finishing his sentence. Remus nodded slowly.

Artimis sighed and nodded. "I'm not surprised you wanted to know about it. I was killed.murder actually.by a werewolf."

Remus froze. "O-oh. S-so, I'm guessing y-you don't like me eh?"

"No, I like you, I like James, and I love Sirius, I hate that werewolf, not you, not people that are werewolves, it is not they're fault of what they are." Artimis said looking out the window at the sun that was rising. Remus looked a little squeamish sitting next to Artimis. "Something wrong?" Artimis asked looking at him

"Oh, uh, um, no, nothings wrong." He said quickly. "I think I'll go wake up James." "Don't go." Artimis said still gazing out the window "Why?" "I don't want to die alone." She whispered "Your not." Remus broke off. "Okay, I'll stay." Artimis smiled. "Thank you Remus. Thank you."
