Fallen Angel

Chapter 3

Araianne heard the voice and paled. No way could Sirius know! As much as she did not admit it, she was ashamed with what had occurred eleven years ago.

After a brief moment of panic and a resolution to fly out of the window, she noticed Godric smirk, and the door open, frozen, Araianne could only watch as Sirius entered. Sirius smiled lightly, sensing her panic and anguish. Slowly Sirius approached. Araianne felt as though she had been spelled, all she could see were two comforting pools of blue, pools that drew her in and refused to let her go. Then Sirius kissed her, and Araianne felt her world was complete.

Sirius was the first to draw away and he saw the turmoil in Araianne's eyes. Instinctively he knew she was debating with herself. Either she make love to him and mess up her chances to be granted another chance in Heaven or she walk away now, go to Heaven and possibly never know love, or have another child this time with the man she loved. Sirius sat her down once more on the bed and held her. For once, not even the great Sirius Black knew what to do. He knew that he already liked Araianne, but it was too early to describe it as love, just, protectiveness, the need to claim his mate. But he knew Heaven was brilliant, fantastic and that it was terrible to be struck away, especially for an innocent. Oh God, how did the saying go? If you love someone, let him or her go? Or even, if you love someone, they'll find a way to you?

As of yet, there were plenty of questions, but no answers to these questions, so for the few hours that followed, Sirius held Araianne whilst she fell into a trance.

Araianne wandered the dark plain of limbo, waiting. Finally the one she was waiting for showed up. Gabriel, in human attire, walked to Araianne, the only light coming from Gabriel's strong white aura, and Araianne's little blue one.

"Why have you called me, Disgraced one?" Gabriel asked, quite frostily. Araianne flinched.

"I need advice, Favoured One." Gabriel's eyebrows rose, as Araianne kept eye contact.

"You ask which future would be better, a life with or without your soulmate?" Araianne nodded. Gabriel circled her.

"You are disgraced, yet you come forth and ask for help, you are stubborn, but you are pure of heart. What happened to make you fall from grace was not your fault, in fact, the correct decision was made, for the other option would have been much worse. For this reason I will answer your request. Neither future is good nor bad, but a future without love and happiness is not a future. Do you believe this man will make you happy? You do not know. Spend time with him, know his soul and patterns. See for yourself what a life with him would be, yet you know part of his future anyway." On that note Gabriel disappeared.

As Araianne woke up she noticed that her and Sirius were lying down, wrapped in each other's arms. To be fair, Araianne hadn't even felt that safe in Heaven. In between dreaming and reality, Araianne settled down and snuggled into Sirius' well-built chest.

In the morning Araianne found herself alone in the bed with a note on the bedside table.

"He left about half an hour ago. He wrote the note, kissed your head and left." Godric answered her unspoken question. Araianne nodded and took the note from it's place.

Dear Araianne,

I hope you slept well.

I don't really know why I am writing this note, except to say I am extremely attracted to you…

I honestly don't mean to scare you, but we both know we are soulmates, but I also know you yearn to be back in Heaven.

Whatever choice you make, know this, I will support you. I care for you already and know in time I will come to love you.

Yours forever I think,

Sirius Black,

Alias Padfoot.

This simple note made Araianne truly sure of her decision, and already she admired Sirius's honesty and willingness. Araianne smiled and collapsed onto the bed again. Somehow she knew, everything was going to turn out ok, it had to.

For the next few months leading to Christmas, Araianne and Sirius continued to get to know each other, Araianne liking what she was seeing even more with the passing of the days, especially refusing to date or flirt with any girls at all. This did not escape the sights of a certain group. Lily thought, quite simply, that it was cute that 'Holly' (the alias was still kept – who knew who the spies were?) and Sirius looked good together. Araianne honestly couldn't remember a happier time, and was close to making her final decision in Sirius's favour, until one night.

Araianne made her way towards the common room, shortly after grabbing a book she had forgotten in the Library. She said the password and upon entering she heard noises sounding strongly like sex. Wrinkling her nose in disgust she intended to walk quickly through the common room until

"Oh Sirius!" That made Araianne stop right in her tracks as she slowly turned to look. There she saw Sirius fucking Lily against the wall. Her eyes let loose several tears as she watched the two orgasm. She wanted terribly to turn away but she couldn't. She could smell the alcohol on them, but also something else. Araianne felt her heart rip in two as she dropped her book and ran. She kept on running until she could run no further and passed out.

It wasn't for many years that Sirius had found out that Araianne had been captured, tortured, raped and then killed by Deatheaters. He had realised she had seen due to her book being their and the tears she had spilt had turned to blood and stained the carpet. Sirius knew he would never forgive himself, he knew Lily, who had argued with James that night, would never forgive herself either, especially because Lily had become pregnant.

Ok, I told a little lie, one chapter left and then my sequel called Lily Black! Please don't shoot me but I do have a vague plot in mind.

Also I wholeheartedly apologise for the author notes, this was posted on another site before and I forgot a couple of them… Also I am not making this a Mary Sue on purpose, it's just angels are classed as perfect beings.

Thank you to my three reviewers! Hopefully the last chapter will be out tomoz or sometime in the near future.

Please review, I have no idea what people truly think of it!
