Lisa: Fear not, I am not watching Hills Have Eyes this time... although I still can't guarantee it won't be blood free.

Heather: You never can.

Lisa: Amen to that. Now everybody enjoy the perhaps less gory or maybe more gory chapter. I do not know for I have yet to write it.

Safe

The marauders followed the group deeper into the building. They came across several more Death Eaters but they were nothing Dumbledore couldn't handle with a few spells. Apparently Voldemort didn't see it fit to send ay of his stronger men, only weak, young ones.

He walked down the halls and soon arrived at a door. It was thick, hard to break but it was ajar slightly. Dumbledore looked back and gave them all a look to be cautious. He pushed the door slightly, it was heavy no one could kick this open it had to of been unlocked. He stepped in and looked around first, they all heard him let out a sigh as he motioned no one was in there.

James was the first one to step in aside from Dumbledore's group. He gasped and covered his mouth; there was blood all over the floor and ragged ripped bloody clothes as well. Quiet sobs erupted from behind them as Laura covered her mouth as well and trying to stiff cries. Lily wrapped her arm around her friend to sooth her crying as the group continued to look.

Remus put his hand over his nose, 'Ries and Cas did the same except they didn't smell it as bad. With Remus's heightened senses he smelled the blood so clearly, it was like he was back home in the basement, or at the shrieking shack in his first couple years at the school.

"Look at this Albus." Said Moody from the wall, he pointed at the small window and the shattered glass and drops of blood on the floor. "Looks like they've gotten out on their own –"

Remus cut him off. "Which means that they're wandering this place alone with no wands and badly injured," he said his eyes wide.

"Calm yourself, Remus, we do not know how badly injured they are. Now it does not seem that any of this happened to long ago. They could not have gotten far." He said and walked over to the window.

"Sirius can't possibly fit through there..." Lily said with a furrowed brow she looked to Heather for an explanation.

"Yeah, Sirius can't." She said in a hushed tone and a look of realization dawned upon Lily's face.

Dumbledore muttered and spell under his breath and parts of the wall silently crumbled apart and created a door. He stepped through and looked around, there was more shattered glass on the other side, much more.

Remus let out a breath, he had barley breathed while in the room, and now it was easier. "I can still smell it..." He muttered making everyone look at him. "They left a trail. I bet I could follow it."

"That's my Moony." James said and put his hand on Remus's shoulder.

Moody narrowed his eyes at the young werewolf but allowed him the take a few good sniffs in the air. Remus began walking down one hall, feeling once again very much like a bloodhound. They must not have been able to stop all the bleeding well, the drops of blood were consistent and in some spots was heavier then in others.

He could feel a horrible sick feeling in the pit of his stomach as he continued to smell the blood of his best friend and his girlfriend. If anything happened to either of them he would never forgive himself. He began to feel regret and self hatred as he continued to thin about the 'ifs'. He mentally slapped himself and physically put his hand on his forehead. This thinking would only lead to him not doing this well and he couldn't risk failing either of them now.

"Oh Merlin..." he said and began running forward.

"Remus!" James said and chased him, the adults not far behind.

They ran down the hallway and stopped at a corner. Remus looked down to find a body on the floor, a bruise on his face and a cut on his side. They stood over the body as the adults caught up to them and they did not waste time staring in shock at the body. Dumbledore bent down and waved his wand over him. "He's alive it seems, but just barley."

"Missing a wand too." McGonagall said as she searched him real quick and looked around the floor.

"Another one over here," Moody said next to another body on the floor in the same condition as the first. "A missing wand as well."

"I think we can predict who did this, it seems these men were death eaters." Said another one of the adults who was with them. "So they must still be capable."

"It seems that way, and now they have wands, hopefully no more trouble will befall them before they are found."

There was an eerie silence around them as the adults surveyed the area. There was too much blood for Remus to tell what was what in this area. After another couple minutes Dumbledore found out exactly the way they went, in that hallway their were several forks.

They started forward again to find them and a strangled cry erupted from behind everyone. They all whipped around wands ready only to find Remus clutching his stomach in agony.

"Moony!" James said and ran to his friend. "Rem, you okay!"

"The full moon is taking its toll on him." Moody growled. "It rises in a few hours."

"I'm fine." Remus said with a deep scratchy voice in his throat. "Let's just go." He straightened up despite the pain and began walking forward, the large veins in his neck jutting out from his tense body.

They all knew Remus should not be here and could possibly only do more damage then good in his condition but with the transformation only a couple hours away and the situation he was in no one could persuade him to leave. They simply followed him as he tried to pick up the sent of their blood once again.

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

"Sirius..." Andy moaned as she continued to try and find a way out with her friend. "The moon... its rising soon..." She said looking up at him from her leaned over position.

"You look like death." He sad in a concerned voice and walked over biting his bottom lip.

"Jee, ya think?" She said sarcastically. "Sirius, you just go ahead, get outta here if the transformation starts you need to be as far away as possible."

"Oh bloody hell no." He said and pulled her so she was standing straight up and almost eye to eye with him. "You think I'm leaving you here at the hands of those insane gits you have another thing coming."

"I don't know how much longer I can last..."

"Yes, you do. Where the Andy that would kick this Andy's ass if she saw it? Where's the Andy that never gives up? The bold, obnoxious, loud mouth, bitch that I have known since I was twelve?"

She took a few deep breaths. "I'm serious... I'm weak, with the transformation comin' usually I get stronger but with this much blood loss I'm just gettin' weaker."

Sirius scoffed and thought for a moment. He smirked and then took his hands from where they rested on her arms to her face and puller her in. He planted a kiss right on her mouth. Andy's eyes went wide and she began making muffled sounds.

He pulled away after a few seconds to see a horrified look on her face. "What the hell, Sirius!" She yelled and pushed him minding his injuries. "What's wrong with you!? God I just kissed my brother! Nasty, man!"

"Oh you enjoyed it," He huffed but then his voice turned more serious. "But you're alive right now and mad at me right?" She nodded ferociously. "Then come on."

He grabbed her wrist and they walked at a fast pace through the various halls and corridors some more.

"This place is a damned maze." She said looking at all the walls around her. "They're all the same."

"I know..." Sirius said.

"Look who it is." Said a cold voice from behind him.

"Caught that sent too late." Andy muttered and they turned around to face another hooded man. They could not see his face but the wand he held out to them was obvious.

"Don't even try to use yours, you've probably already figured it out that you can't use any spells with them. You know why? Because you don't have the dark mark. Only those who serve the Dark Lord can use the wands specially designed and enchanted to serve him alone. Now, I'm going to kill you, the Dark Lord said just to interrogate, but I can see that both of you are simply fools and he did say to kill if we felt we could no longer gather information."

Just then the man fell and standing behind him was James holding his wand out with a hard look on his face. "Just shut the hell up." He said to the man on the floor. Looking up he saw his two missing friends he ran over quickly followed by Remus, Peter, the girls and the adults. James ran over and hugged Sirius tightly, despite the fact the hug must have caused him pain Sirius hugged him back and let out a sigh.

Remus ran over to Andy first and the two hugged as well but they added a few small kisses. The rest of the group joined them as Sirius and Andy's adrenaline rushes depilated to nothing and they fell to the floor.

Remus took in the sight of his girlfriend and friend. They were both covered in blood and now looking down at his clothes and hands he too now had blood on him. Bruises and cuts were all over the both of them; he couldn't imagine what they must have gone through. He let a couple tears escape his eye as he hugged her once again and they turned to Sirius who was now only a foot away. All the school friends seemed to all be hugging and crying with one another.

They felt like they could continue this hugging and crying and holding one another for ever until Dumbledore walked up to them and bent down to them. "I hate to cut your reunion short, but you all must get away from here, now."

They looked up at him and nodded. "Now," he continued. "With the upcoming moon I would never apparate any of you, and as much as I would want you to leave here on your own I fear a portkey is the only way."

"Right..." Lily said, "Where is it?"

"Right here." He said and took out a small book from his robes. "All of you hold it and you'll be taken away."

"Where will we be - ?" Heather asked but he had already activated it, she felt a tug and they were all transported way from the cold, dark hell that Andy and Sirius survived.

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

"Going..." Peter finished for her as they appeared in a very familiar place.

"We're at Hogwarts infirmary." Remus said looking around. "Come on, help me get them in the beds. Madam Pomfery!" he yelled out and his vice echoed through the sterile room. He couldn't have enough thanks that there was no patients in their at the time.

"What?" Came a voice from her office. "Who is out here – oh my gosh! Remus! James! Lily! Oh my! Sirius, 'Dromeda! What on earth happened?!" She cried as she rushed over to the students who visited her ward most.

"They were kidnapped." James said. "Dumbledore gave us a portkey when we found then and it lead us here."

"Oh dear..." She said as she hovered over the injured teenagers. "Remus, be a dear and get me some of the potions from the cabinet." She said and Remus hurried over to the large cabinet he knew all too well from his years at the school and came back with bottles of potions.

"Thank you." She murmured and began forcing potions down the throats of the still conscious people.

"That's nasty." Sirius said in a low quiet voice very unlike his own as a foul smelling potion was poured in his mouth.

"I don't care drink it." She said and walked over to Andy to do the same.

The next day the two were in stable condition; Madam Pomfery was able to heal most of their injuries. But bruises still lingered and Sirius wouldn't be able to walk for a few days and Andy's one arm would be in a sling but that was the extent of their injuries as of now.

They all stayed by their friends side while they slept. Andy's mother was there as well with her sister and brother, they wouldn't leave until she woke up. Sirius had no blood family around him but the marauders were there by his side, along with the marauderetts of course.

Just then, as they waited in silence, the doors to the infirmary burst open and girl clad in Hufflepuff house robes burst in. But she was no ordinary first year; the electric green hair said it all.

The group turned to see the small girl run in and stop by the bed sides. "Nymph!" Laura cried. "What are you doing here?"

"I go here," she said and rolled her eyes. "I heard that there were some people in the infirmary. Rumor around the school one of them was a Black and he was really cute." She said pulling a face. "And that they graduated last year, I got that one from a couple of sixth years." She said as a side note.

"Well you heard right... well mostly except for that cute thing..." Heather said pulling a face much like Nymphadora's.

"Wh – what happened?" She said as she looked at her cousin and Andy with a look of sympathy.

They exchanged looks with one another trying to decide on if they should tell her. "Oh come on! I won't tell! You know that, he's my cousin and she's... Well no relation but she's my cousin's unofficial brother's girlfriend!"

"Okay, promise not to tell but they were kidnapped by some death eaters in hoping to get information about something, we don't know what." James said with an apologetic look. "That's about all we know."

"Death eaters...?" Nymph said with a thoughtful face. "Aren't they Voldemort's supporters? That's what they're called right?" They nodded. "Bloody hell..."

"Language." Andy's mother scolded, being the only adult in the room aside form 'Ries and Cas but they didn't count much. "I know yer not my child or I have any authority over ya but I still don't like that language."

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Volk," She apologized, sighing Nymph walked over to an empty seat next to the bed Sirius was in.

"Shouldn't you be in a class now?" Lily asked.

"Yeah, but I talked to my professor and he said I could leave for his class and I'd have to talk to my other professors about the rest of the day."

"You know its amazing how fast rumors spread in this school; you must have heard them during class?" Lily said looking to Nymph.

"I was."

"Oh don't look so surprised Lils," Heather said. "We haven't been out of school that long. You know just as well as I how fast rumors spread in this place." She smirked.

"That's true..." She sighed and sat back in the chair. They all then proceeded to wait in silence until their friends woke up.

Lisa: Yay they be safe now!

Heather: tawoot!

Lisa: Yeah... now it's time to move on to other more funny and less depressing things.
