Tonks, under a deep sleeping spell, was levitating in the air nearly 3 miles away on top of a hill way beyond Remus' line of view. Bellatrix had used accio along with imperioin order to get Tonks back in her grip. Now all she needed to do was get Remus to seek her out so that she could just kill Remus and Tonks without even a fight. She looooved blue moons. Lucky for that trance, Remus couldn't hear Tonks try to scream as she was summoned away from him.

Bellatrix sat and watched her disowned niece just lying there, floating. She was getting bored waiting for Remus. Maybe she could do some Cruciatus…and Tonks wouldn't even be able to fight it because she was unconscious! No…maybe not just yet. Besides, watching people squirm under Cruciatus was half the reason why Bellatrix loved it so much!

Looking disgustedly at Tonks, Bellatrix clicked her tongue "tsk, tsk, tsk." A Metamorphagus would've been of good use to the Death Eaters. They only had one Animagus, and Peter Pettigrew was a dolt and useless. He was a rat. A RAT! If anything, the Death Eater's resident Animagus should've been a snake, or a dragon! Lucius Malfoy tried to become an Animagus for that reason, so they could ditch the rat and have a better animal. But he got lazy, and after a horn popped out of his forehead while he practiced, the Death Eaters decided they'd rather NOT know what Lucius' Animagus form would've been.

But a Metamorphagus! And she was using it to make her look like a Muggle punk-rocker, with her pink hair and purple eyes. She was so rare, pity she was also a blood-traitor, who didn't even HAVE all the magic blood run through her body, had one of the rarest gifts in the wizarding world. Where did it come from? No Black was ever a Metamorphagus, and that Muggle Ted Tonks would've had any genes for it. Such a waste of a mutation. Such a waste. If Andromeda Tonks had married Lucius' brother Quentin Malfoy like everyone WANTED her to, then Tonks'd be a pure-blood and she'd make a great addition to the Death Eater family!

Bellatrix, in her boredom in waiting for Tonks' half-human fiance to show up wanting to save the day (and this time, he was without a wand at all), waved her own wand, making Tonks' inert body do some sommersaults through the air and a few elaborate tricks. Maybe she should wake up the blood traitor and have her scream nice and loud for Remus Lupin…

But before she did, Bellatrix decided to pay a little visit to that Lupin creature…

Frantically searching for Tonks with only the moonlight as a lamp to lead his way wasn't an easy feat for Remus. If he WAS a werewolf tonight, he'd have much better vision to see with. Remus knew what happened. Bellatrix had taken advantage of the vision to kidnap Tonks. She wouldn't kill her, not right away. Tonks was bait for Remus now. But he didn't care. Tonks needed him. He tried to walk as quietly as he could so he could hear if she screamed under Bellatrix's pet curse.

But he was without a wand. How could he possibly get both of them away from Bellatrix without a wand? Then it occurred to him…the visions. The visions were of events that were guaranteed to happen no matter what happened in the meantime. Something would occur that would have Tonks survive, and Remus survive, at least long enough for Tonks to bear his child and help him escape from Antonin Dolohov in the basement of Hogwarts during what looked like an intense all-out war. This gave Remus confidence.

And then he thought again…if all of that was supposed to happen in a year, then what was the use of waiting to marry Tonks? If she was indeed going to have his baby within a year, then he might as well not stir up rumors that Tonks was having an illegitimate baby, the gossip associated with that was the last thing Tonks would need.

Remus sighed, but before he could have another thought, something appeared in front of him. It was like a cloud of fog. Was it late enough in the evening for dew and fog to appear? No, this was someone sending themselves out to him. To tell him something.

"T…Tonks…?" asked Remus, then he thought the better of it. Tonks would've sent a Patronus with a message for him. Those would couldn't produce a Patronus just appeared before their target in a ghost-like form. Death Eaters usually communicated that way instead of a Patronus…

Bellatrix! It had to be! And indeed, Bellatrix's mad face, followed by her body, formed out of the fog, and spoke to Remus. Remus looked behind him. At least there were no landmarks behind him so she could Apparate to him. Remus grittd his teeth as she appeared.

Bellatrix uttered a terrifying laugh. "Remus Lupin, you looking for your girlfriend?"

"Bellatrix, let her go! Where is she? Set her free!" Remus pleaded. Bellatrix laughed again.

"Do you honestly think that's going to convince me to let her go? You pathetic little half-breed human! Here's your blood-traitor freak lover!" Bellatrix summoned something else into the mist. It was Tonks, unconscious, levitating at Bellatrix's waist. Remus bit his lip.

"She may not seem like it, but she's under Cruciatus right now. But she can't protest or say a word, or even scream!" Bellatrix mocked with a sing-song voice. Remus began trembling. Tonks couldn't react to the fact that she was being tortured.

"Where is she? Where are you?" Remus demanded to know. Bellatrix grinned her gross, badly-in-need-of-dental-care smile.

"On top of the hill that will be directly under the moon at 3:00AM," she said. "You have until then to save your precious Tonks, or else I won't wait any longer to kill her, and you'll never se her alive again!"

That was when Bellatrix disappeard with Tonks in tow.

Remus didn't even think. It was either Apparate to Grimmauld Place and pray that someone just happened to be there to whom he could call for help, or go straight to Tonks and risk death in order for a chance of her having her own life. He forgot all about the visions he'd had so far and what they were or what they meant. Tonks life, or his. Remus looked at his watch. It was already 2:33. He didn't have much time.

There was absolutely no question needed to be asked. All he needed to was get to the house to get his wand. And he knew exactly where it was…

Remus saw from afar the hill that was now nearly directly under the moon. He ran as fast as he could to make the deadline. He could vaguely make out Bellatrix's form, pacing up and down the hill. Tonks' levitating body was actually nowhere in sight. Remus hid his wand in his back pocket, where it was easily accessed but not visible. Bellatrix would think he was unarmed.

Remus yelled as he approached the top of the hill. "Bellatrix Lestrange! I'm here!" he said. Bellatrix grinned evilly at Remus as he climbed the hill under the direct moonlight. The shadows on Bellatrix's face made her look even more like a horror-film star in full make up than a witch. "Where's Dora? Where's Tonks?" asked Remus frantically. "I made your damn deadline, where is she?! She'd better be alive!"

"Oh, you'll see…" Bellatrix grinned and snapped her fingers. Out of nowhere, Tonks appeared, fully conscious and seemingly unhurt.

"DORA!" Remus yelled. Tonks took a split second to look around and establish where she was. When she saw Remus, she ran towards him, shaking her head in a panic.

"Remus! Don't worry about—" Bellatrix waved her wand at Tonks, sending her into a full-body bind, which made her fall on her side. Bellatrix then snapped her fingers again, and as soon as Tonks hit the ground, she disappeared again. Remus dove on where she'd fallen, but she was already gone.

"Oh, too bad, you just missed her!" Bellatrix crooned. She waved her wand at Remus, sending him back onto his back. Bellatrix stood over him. She snapped her fingers again. Tonks reappeared, floating mid-air, this time bound by thick ropes.

"Remus, don't worry about me! Save yourself!" Tonks pleaded.

"Oh shut up, you git!" Bellatrix whined, waving her wand again. A gag appeared over Tonks' mouth, silencing her. "Now, half-breed, I'm giving you a choice. Ultimately, you both will die. But who would you rather see go first? The half-breed or the blood traitor? You're call! Whoever goes first I will spare them the pain with AvadaKedavra, whoever goes second will have to bleed to death in the first person's plave." Bellatrix bargained. "Me, I would suggest you be a gentleman and have the lady go first, and you can suffer death yourself…"

Tonks shook her head frantically, her eyes wide with fear and panic. Remus felt something run through him, an anger, a fury, that he'd never felt before. He felt himself go ravenous with anger for Bellatrix. His blood grew quickly hot. And was it just him…or was he getting sweatier?

Suddenly, a sharp pain surged through him. Remus felt his teeth grow to sharp point. He then felt the urge to fall to his hands and knees. Tonks looked on with horror as Remus began to realize what was going on with him. Bellatrix looked half-confused, half-afraid. Remus let out something he didn't anticipate to utter: a howl. A wolf's howl. Bellatrix broke her concentration on Tonks' body bind curse, and Tonks fell to the earth, free. She looked with horror at her malicious aunt and her fiancé, who wasn't how she'd ever seen him before.

Remus growled with intense fury and leapt at Bellatrix as a full-grown werewolf.
