Depths of Death

Chapter Two

"Hello? Kara? Art thou there?"

"Oh, hi, Zoe," a girl with long, brown hair and gray eyes said to her. "I see you have company. Who might they be?"

"I am Sirius Black," I replied for Zoe. "And this is Remus Lupin. We're from Harry Potter."

"I see," Kara said. "What do you want?"

"Advice," I said, trying not to look into her eyes. "We have-"

"A problem! A huge problem! I can't find my wife, Nymphadora Tonks Lupin, and I think she's in the Depths of Death and Alleu is too small! We need a way to save Dora from going back to the story and expand the island so that we can have room to live in comfort and make way for all the dead characters in the world!" Remus exclaimed in one breath. "Please help us!"

Kara blinked. "You're lucky I understood that. You are also lucky Athena always has a plan."

"Are you sure about this, Kara? What if you get banished?"

"I won't. They like me too much."

I laughed. "Niah and Sira liking a new world characters? As if!"

Kara smiled. "They do. I have certain... privileges that you don't."

"Okay, sure, whatever you say. Ready?"

Kara nodded. "Go get them, the Mayans will be attacked by the time you get there."

I grabbed Remus's arm and we ran all the way to the oldest part of Alleu, to the old house that Niah and Sira shared. I banged on the door.

"Sira! Niah! Niah! Sira! Come out, the Wooden People are in trouble!"

"What did you say!" A voice rasped. An old...well, hag appeared, wrinkly and mottled, hunched over with ancient clothing on. Her gray-white hair was long and stringy, and she had black eyes that pierced your soul. I knew who it was without ever seeing her before.

"Niah! My lady, the Mayan's Wooden People are in trouble! You and Sira must come quickly!

"Was my name spoken?" a pleasant voice came from behind Niah. A girl of about fifteen appeared, with porcelain skin and long, black hair. She had eyes the same color as the ocean, and she wore the same clothes as Niah. There was only one girl it could be- Sira. She was much less cranky than described.

"You must come with us, the Mayans are in trouble!"

"Which? The Corn People?"

"No, the Wooden," I said, pointing. There was screaming from the direction in which we had come. "You must hurry!"

"We will come," Niah said, grasping Sira's wrist.

"No- no- Mother, it is not mine will to go-"

"Sira, it is of utmost value. We must go and save the Wooden People. It is the will of our Creator."

Sira bowed her head and followed us back to the newest part of Alleu.

"Kara? Are mine eyes deceiving me? What would you be doing to the Wooden People?"

"I- I'm- I'm sorry! They offended me, Sira, they insulted my story!"

"What- what is this madness? Plague and no space to move? Why did no one tell us?"

"Err, Niah," I said, not wanting to touch her mottled skin, "This is how small it is. We need to expand the island, or make another one to add on to this one."

"Dora! We need to save Dora!" Remus said, looking Niah straight into her soulless eyes. "Dora is my wife and she has gone to the Depths of Death! We need to save her!

"My boy," Niah said sadly, "it cannot be done."

XXXXX

Aaaand cliffhanger! You're welcome, readers! I need to have it longer, so Niah can't just go, "Poof! Dora is back!" No, then the story would be over already!

So, what do you think? Yes? No? Meh?

I'm not updating again until I have ten total reviews! Anonymous or not, I don't care, just tell me how to improve or what I did well on! Please! So if you want to know how Tonks is saved... REVIEW!

Note: Okay, so I made up Niah and Sira, but I'm going to have some background to that later. Its like a fanfiction of a creation story I have never read.*
