Chapter Four: Demons Answered

Sirius beamed as his best mate walked out from the fire-place in a burst of emerald flames. "Prongsy! Mate! How've you been?"

His brunette friend shrugged, then smiled. "Bloody Brilliant. And the Missus?"

Sirius mock-glared at his friend. "Azure?"

"'Course."

"Fine!" Sirius said happily. "Wonderful! Just peachy!"

"'Peachy?'"

"Yeah. Peachy."

Raising an eyebrow, still smiling, James continued to question him. "You have no idea, do you?"

Sirius snorted, "I always have an idea."

There was a second flash of emerald green light and Lily Evans appeared. "What were we talking about?"

James put an arm around Lily's waist. "Well, Sirius just said that he always has a clue to my saying that he doesn't about Azure."

Lily scrunched up her forehead. "She..." She smiled and laughed. "Oh! James, please learn to form smaller sentences."

As James nodded at Lily, Sirius began to grow bored. He felt somewhat relieved when Lily sat down at the table and opened up a book. "Anyway," he continued, "Azure is fine. She's...uh...adapting."

James sighed, his smile slowly vanishing. "Adapting?"

Sirius nodded.

"You didn't listen to me, did you?"

Sirius looked uncomfortably at his feet. "Well..."

There was a loud bang on the table, and when Sirius and James looked, all they saw Lily heading for the door to the hallway, book in hand. Sirius raised an eyebrow at James. "What the hell is her problem?"

"There's a reason she was supposed to eat meat Sirius!"

"Oh." He looked at James, a hopeful smile on his face. "Is it that you tihnk she needs to gain weight?"

"It's not funny, Mate! She had to get the taste of animal blood, not human. If she doesn't eat animals, then she'll have to--"

"I'm sorry!" yelled Sirius. "I'm already feeling guilty enough, James! I don't need this!"

His friends face softened. "Sirius, what's happened?"

Sirius gulped, flushing. "Wh...what happened when?"

James smiled, putting a hand on his friends shoulder. "I've been your best mate for six years! I know when you've found yourself a girl. You get all protective, and play dumb, and think that you can find some way to get her to do something you want." He cocked his head to the side. "Now, tell me...what happened between you and Azure?"

The ebony-haired boy lowered his head. "James...I...We...She..." He looked up at his friend desperatly.

"James! Sirius! James and Sirius! Come up here!"

Sirius was up the stairs half-way in the blink of an eye. He would have gone further, but Evans stopped him. "Sirius! You can't go in there alone."

"Who says I am?" He grabbed James and Lily's hands and drug them up the stairs.

As they entered the room, James gagged, and Sirius...was stunned.

Her black curls had straightened out, and was not at least to her knees. Her black-brown eyes had a red glow to them, making her seem demonic. Her upper lip was curled as her tongue stuck out from her mouth, licking up the blood. The sight was repulsive. Yet, instead of sickening Sirius, it saddened him.

It was his fault she was like this. If he'd just let her eat her meat, they wouldn't be having this problem.

She opened her mouth and her fangs enlongated. Sirius was frozen to the spot, wanting to stop her. Instead, James leapt across the room and tackled her to the ground. Azure kicked her legs frantically, not wanting to be held down.

James glared at Sirius. "Freeze her!"

"I...I can't!"

"JUST DO IT!"

Lily, getting sickened, pointed her wand at ehr vampire-friend. "Immobulous!"

Her body went rigded and she froze. Sirius approached her carefully. When he looked at her face, he could no longer see Maria Azure. All her could see was the monster. The monster that he'd unleashed. It was his fault. He did this to her. Him and that stupid git of a Death Eater.

Her body seemed to melt almost. As soon as she was back to normal, she launched herself at Sirius. He felt her nails digging into his skin like talons. He was trying to push her off. He had to. She was going to kill him! He opened his mouth and felt blood roll into his mouth. He was bleeding. She was scratching him so hard that she was drawing blood.

He felt her flying off of him, and the pain in his face lessened somewhat. He opened his eyes and looked over at her. She had a mad smile on her face as she looked at her fingers, which were covered in Sirius' blood. She brought her fingers to her lips, but James shouted,

"STUPIFY!"

As her eyes slowly turned back to their original colour, her hair curled as well. Her fangs became small again and she blinked rapidly. She looked at Sirius and he saw a tear run down her cheek.

"...Sirius..."

He forced one eyebrow to arch up, then regreted it. The pain was unbelievable.

"H...Home..."

He was confused. Home?

"P...Please..."

Then, she blacked out.
