My Last Breath

Chapter 5: Forever

By Monkeys Like Cookies

Remus' wolf instincts kicked in as he growled at the door menacingly.

Blood, blood, must have blood.

"Moony, calm yourself," James mentally ordered. Remus looked confused, turning from the door, to James, and back to the door again.

"James, I don't think he can control himself..." Kayla warned, glaring at Remus nervously. Sure enough, he was emotionally battling with his two instincts.

Pounce, kill, eat, one voice ordered harshly.

No, you could hurt someone! The other, the real Remus, retorted.

Kill, blood.

Stay under control!

Kill!

Control!

"Kayla? Is that you in there?" a timid voice asked; the voice of Lily Evans.

"Oh, God. It's Lily!" Kayla whispered to James, and his eyes grew four times larger.

Remus, that's my girlfriend! Please stay under control! James pleaded. But Remus' wolf side won over and he threw open the door to reveal the redhead behind it. Lily's face grew chalk pale as she saw the creature before her.

"Oh my God!" she whispered fearfully, taking slow steps backwards. Remus crept closer and closer, arching his back and bracing himself to pounce.

"Kayla! Help!" Lily shrieked, taking out her wand, but Kayla was frozen in place, unsure of what to do. She and James watched in horror as Remus leapt into the air, planning to rip Lily's heart out.

"Ariala Nairsé!" Lily shouted as she pointed her wand at the Remus' chest, sending him flying into a wall. He lay there whimpering in pain, until Lily marched straight up to him and got ready to eliminate him using the killing spell. She raised her wand in the air, about to mutter the dreaded words, but Kayla jumped in front of him protectively.

"No," she uttered simply, crossing her arms stubbornly. Lily stared at her friend in disbelief, wondering what had gotten into her.

"What?" she questioned. "This thing was about to kill me and will probably hurt you if we don't kill it now!"

"You can't because- well, just look for yourself. The clouds are moving over the moon now," Kayla sighed, watching the dark clouds move across the sky, preventing moonlight from shining through. Lily watched in trauma as the werewolf slowly began to transform into the beloved Remus Lupin. Her mouth hung open, her eyes wide. She dropped her wand in shame, realizing what she could have just done. He lay on the ground, panting and clutching his side, blood oozing out from under his fingers.

"Oh my word, Remus, what happened?" Kayla asked concernly. She rushed to his side and removed his hand, and winced at the cut that ran down his side. His eyes were squeezed shut in pain as he answered forcefully,

"As a werewolf I can withstand landing on my own claws, but as a human I can't!" Lily bit her lip in shame, questions running through her confused and baffled mind.

"Any one have some gauze or something?" he gasped, finally opening his pale tired eyes.

"I have a tee shirt, but I'm kinda wearing that," Kayla joked, trying to get a laugh, but none came.

"Er, I have a tampon in my pocket," Lily suggested as Kayla cracked up. Even Remus let out a painful chuckle. She handed the tampon to Kayla, who stuck it to Remus' side to absorb the blood. When it finally stopped flowing, she removed it carefully, trying not to aggravate the wound. She stared down disgustedly at the tampon but began giggling again.

"This is going to look rather awkward to anyone who finds it," she laughed, chucking it into a corner. Lily and Remus laughed along, him sitting up against the wall.

"Remus, I'm so sorry-" Lily started, but Remus put a cold, shaking finger against her lips. His eyes filled with tears of shame and agony.

"I'm the one who should be saying sorry!" he wailed. "I almost killed you, or even worse, I could have bitten you! I couldn't live with myself if I made someone go through what I have to every full moon!"

"It's seriously okay, Rem. You couldn't control yourself like that. I shouldn't have followed you guys out here anyway."

"Your an awesome friend, Lily-bean!" he cried, embracing her lovingly.

"Oi, don't be gettin' the hots for my girlfriend," James warned sarcastically, turning into his normal self.

"You- you're a-" Lily stuttered, pointing at James, frightened that just before a deer had stood where he was now.

"Yes, he's an Animagus!" Kayla exclaimed hurriedly. "Just hug and kiss all ready! Get all that goody-goody stuff over!" James and Lily laughed and starting kissing, much to the amusement of Kayla and Remus. Lily decided now was the time for questions.

"So, Rem, do you mind me asking how and when you become a werewolf?" she asked, still leaning against James.

"Uh, you may want to sit down, it's a long story and I have a feeling you'll want to ask more questions after," Remus sighed, slumping against a wall. Lily and James sat next to the door, in case the moon appeared again.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Tah dah! I'm back!" Sirius Black cried, thrusting himself into the commons room with all emphasis possible. But as he looked around, he realized that nobody cared because none of the people that were still awake were his friends. Not even Hope was there to marvel at his speedy recovery. He slumped where he stood and rushed to the boys' dorm, but nobody was there either. The only sign that anyone had been there was left over food on plates on the floor, and a purple pillow left on his bed. He sniffed it and recognized the smell immediately. Kayla.

"What the hell? Where is everybody?" Sirius asked himself, resting his head sadly on the window sill and watching the full moon. A loud howl sounded through the night and an imaginary light bulb flicked on in his head.

"Of course! Moony's furry little problem!" Sirius mentally smacked himself, and hurried off to find Peter with plans to surprise his friends, the Marauders.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"So that horrid werewolf, Greyback, bit you when you were just a little boy?" Lily asked, filled with pity at the thought. Remus nodded gravely and rested his head against the wall in pure exhaustion. Sudden footsteps sounded in the tunnel and James jumped up protectively, wand held in front of him. The door slowly creaked open, but to Lily's surprise, in creeped a rat and a shaggy black dog with eyes strangely familiar...

"You guys nearly gave me a heart attack!" James hissed with relief, sitting back down next to Lily once more. Lily was about to ask what was going on but a shriek filled the room.

"Sirius!" Kayla screamed, embracing the now transformed Sirius tightly. Sirius Black looked tired but well, his eyes shining mischievously.

"Er, why are you hugging me?" he asked, but embraced her back anyway.

"Because you had me worried sick!" she exclaimed in a motherly fashion. Sirius smiled and chuckled softly.

"I should put myself in mortal danger more often!" he joked giddily. Kayla slapped him playfully on the arm, plopping back down on the mattress once more.

"Now, Padfoot, I don't think that's fair. She worried over you more than I've seen her worry about anyone else before!" James scoffed, patting his friend on the back as a welcome. Just as Lily thought nothing else could surprise, she watched in amazement as the rat slowly turned into Peter Pettigrew and she finally realized where their nicknames had come from.

"Peter Pettigrew!" she scolded. "Tsk, Tsk, you're supposed to be the good one, remember?" Peter smiled shamefully and shrugged his shoulders.

"Yeah, and Sirius isn't supposed to like Kayla either, but he adores her!"

Kayla blushed bright rose red and she hid her face in a pillow sheepishly.

"I don't find this fair!" she mumbled, the pillow muffling her voice. "I didn't vote for it to be pick-on-Kayla day!" Sirius laughed but when he realized that nobody else was laughing he quickly turned it into a couch.

"Uh, stuff flying around in the air," he coughed awkwardly, stuffing his hands in his pockets. Since there was nothing better to do, James and Lily resorted to making out in the corner.

"Whoa!" Sirius exclaimed in shock, falling back on the bed. " What exactly happened while I was gone? You two were enemies for a long while, and suddenly you're making out in front of us?" James and Lily laughed, forgetting that Sirius had not been present at their announcement of partnership.

"Yup, they're together now!" Kayla nodded happily.

"And they're kissing each other?" Sirius questioned.

"Yup and they're kissing each other willingly- OH MY GOSH!" she exclaimed. She glanced at Sirius, secretly hoping he had forgotten her reply to the note in Potions class. But content showed on his face as he surpressed a snicker. Kayla's face was frozen in revulsion.

"Uh, I do believe your words were 'Oh yeah, I'd go out with you if James and Lily start willingly kissing each other!'. Um, I'm pretty sure this counts!" Kayla's face turned bright red as everyone snickered in amusement.

"Ah, I'll let it go for now. You don't have to go out with me if you don't want to, but I'll keep asking for weeks to come," Sirius admitted, much to the surprise of everyone else. Was Sirius actually being serious for once?

"So," he started again, "I'll start asking now. Will you go out with me?"

"Sure,"Kayla replied.

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaase- wait, what?" he asked, shocked that she had said yes before he had even gotten to make his beloved puppy dog face.

"I said yes," she repeated, shrugging her shoulders as if it was nothing. Everyone stared at her in pure confusion, where was the Kayla they knew and loved.

"Okay, who the heck converted you?" James joked.

"Leandra did, but I wouldn't confront her because she is totally obsessed with you!" Kayla snickered. James shriveled up his nose and clutched Lily closer.

"Nope, I belong to Lily!" he cried, kissing her full on the lips once more.

"Ew!" Kayla shrieked, covering her eyes.

"So, you are actually agreeing to go out with me?" Sirius asked incredulously.

"Yup!"

"Um, okay, wow!" he yelled, secretly celebrating inside. He was about to prance around the room singing his happy song, but a scream from Peter stopped him in his tracks.

"A mouse! A dead mouse! It's like seeing my own kind in the grave!" he yelled, pointing to the corner. Kayla and Sirius crept over to see what he was blabbering about and burst out laughing on the spot. Sirius picked it up, holding it in the air and chuckling.

"Is this it?" he asked, holding it up in the air, blood dripping from it.

"Yes!" Peter nodded, his face green. This started a new era of laughter, everyone joining in except poor old Pettigrew.

"Who's is it?" Sirius asked Kayla, doubling over.

"Er, it was Lily's but she used it to soak up the blood from Remus' small cut," Kayla emphasized, leaving out the real details of Lily's encounter with Remus the werewolf.

"Oh, so you know about Moony's problem?" Sirius inquisted. Lily nodded, returning to cuddle with James affectionately.

"What's Lily's?" Peter whined frustratingly. Sirius finally pulled himself together and exclaimed,

"God, Wormtail! It's a tampon, not a mouse!" Confusion twisted poor old Peter's face as he struggled to remember what in the world a tampon was.

"You know, the thing girls need when they have their period..." James clued, but Peter was still lost. Sirius walked over and clapped him on the back in mock gravery.

"Wormtail, my friend, let me refresh your knowledge!" And with that, he pulled Peter into the tunnel leading to the shack, closing the door behind him with a chortle. Everyone held their breath except Kayla who was fighting the urge to crack up, holding her mouth shut with her hands.

"I will never understand the ways of women!" Peter exclaimed as he threw himself in the room, face so red that Lily thought it might explode. He went to go deal with his thoughts in the corner by himself.

"Dead mouse? How on earth did that resemble a mouse in any way possible?" Remus asked.

"Well, come on guys, give me a break! It had a tail!" Pettigrew stuttered, throwing his hands in the air exasperatedly. Remus and Sirius guffawed loudly, where as Kayla only let out a nervous giggle. Lily and James were whispering to each other by themselves, now blissfully unaware of their surroundings.

"How long do you think this will last, James?" Lily asked, her head against his shoulder comfortingly.

"Probably as long as the memory of Sirius' talk will haunt Wormtail!" James snorted as he stroked her hair lovingly.

"James, I'm serious!" she hollered.

"No, I'm Sirius!" Sirius roared from the mattress that he had been sitting on.

"Padfoot, that one gets older by the day!" James chortled.

"Yeah, and so does he!" Remus jested but the annoyed glances that the others gave him made him stop laughing instantly. He cleared his throat and returned to staring at the ceiling.

"I mean it! How long do you think this will last?"

James sighed and ran a hand through his messy hair nervously, wanting desperately to give out the right answer.

"I want it to last as long as we're both alive, but that's up to you. If you want it to last that long as well, then it will. But if not, then I can't stop you from breaking up with me." Lily snuggled closer and allowed herself to fall into his warm embrace.

"Then it will last forever," she whispered, kissing him affectionately.

"Forever,then."A/N This is so an awesome question, and Leandra, I hope you're happy because I put you in the chapter as lilking James.
