Take a look into these eyes they burn with fire...until the end of time. I would do anything , I'd beg I'd steal, I'd die to have you in these arms tonight. - August 1979

I woke up in the rubble with blood all over me, I got up slowly and all my bones ached. It took me a minute to register everything that happened. I dusted myself off and went looking for Ember, " Em?" I asked loudly as I went frantically looking for her. Hoping she got to hide somewhere. " EMBER!" I yelled through the house. This isn't working. I ran over to the fireplace. " LUPIN COTTAGE!" I yelled. Throwing the powder into the fire. Waiting. "Hurry up......" I repeated over and over. Then seeing Chloe's face. " Chloe..." I paused wiping the blood from my face. I looked like shit. " You guys need to get here fast!" I said frantically. I was crying and freaking out and my temper was beyond mad. " Ember's gone....Death Eaters." I said just short words in hopes that she would hurry and get Remus and get here I needed help as soon as possible.

I nodded to him, he said Ember was gone and Death Eaters I nodded " Okay We'll be there as soon as possible." I let him know and I went to get some clothes that covered. " Remus sweetheart up. We have to go back to sirius' place. Ember's gone...." I said that and I saw his eyes open. I nodded a quick okay and pulled on some pants I was in Remus' shirt as I pulled on some of my pants and I waited for him to be ready and then we'd go to their place.

I grabbed some more floo powder. " POTTER MANOR!" I shouted and Lily's face appeared. " Lily you guys get here quick. Ember's gone....death eaters...." I said and she disappeared. Okay so I have the message out now as I went looking around for clues. Hoping I would find something. I figured she would be co-operating with them because of the baby. God, I should have been stronger. tears were rolling down my cheeks as I searched for anything that would give me any idea of where to start. I was broken and didn't know what to do and I know exactly whose fault it is..... Peter. THAT LITTLE RAT. I went looking around. Wait, could it be Peter. I didn't think it could be but I did at the same time. He was my friend. How can I do this. How can anyone do this. I didn't know what to do. I transformed to get a better idea of where they might have went. I followed Ember's scent and it disappeared then came back again. Hm, I went out front and I caught it. Hm...I had to follow it but everyone is on their way. I had to wait here. I was growling I was fuming and she was gone more than likely being tortured because of me. Because I couldn't fight them off.

I nodded to Sirius, he looked like shit. He was beaten up pretty badly. I ran upstairs as fast as I could bursting into our bedroom. " James wake up. Your sister was taken by Death Eaters. " I said knowing he'd shoot up as I ran over and put on some jeans and one of my shirts. Looking back expecting James to be doing the same thing. Knowing how fat he was going to get up and ready. his little sister needed help.

My eyes opened in a flash when Chloe said Ember was gone. She was like my little sister, too. This was not good. I bounded out of bed and threw clothes on and grabbed my cloak. I took out my wand hesitating slightly. I made my Patronus and had it send this message to Peter: Ember is gone... if you ever cared for the friendship of ours then you will help us find her. And I swear if I find out you had something to do with this... we will all hunt you down and kill you ourselves.



I looked at Chloe. "Let's go," I said walking tothe fireplace and Floo-ing to Sirius's plaace. "SIrius? I sure as hell hope you didn't go off by yourself..."

Pulling Potter along, " I'm sure he is still alive if it makes you feel any better." " Knowing it didn't really help nor did I really care. I just figured it would be a little entertainment for us to see how easily she came with us.

I woke with a start when I got Remus's patronus. Tobi was sleeping next to me with Jada on her other side; the poor thing had a nightmare. I got out of bed. I had to go with them to find her... it was the only way I could save face with them for them to trust me again. I woke Tobi up. "Sweetie, Ember is missing. I'm going back to Sirius's so we can find her," I said, kissing her on her forehead.

I got up and said, "I am goign with you. Tink can watch Jada." I stood up and called the house-elf into the room. I told her what was going on and Tink said she'd be fine. I trusted the elf with my baby girl. I pulled onsome clothes. "Let's go."

I rubbed my eyes, and heard Remus, I was broken I needed my friends as I wiped blood off of my lips. I ran over to Remus and collapsed into my frineds arms. " I fought them off as best I could...it wasn't good enough." I said as I mumbled it out. I needed them more then ever, I didn't know what to do.

After getting dressed Lily and I arrived at Sirius's at the same time Tobi and Peter arrived. At this point, I honestly didnt' care what happened last night. I was just glad to see Peter was there to help us find Ember; he was sort of like a brother to her. They all were. I was also glad to see that Ember's best friend was there as well. It kind of surprised me... but then I remembered hearing something about the two of them being together... which was strange I had to admit.



"SIrius?!"

"Dont' worry; we'll get her back," I said to my friend, supporting him."I think the others are here..." I heard James' frantic yell. "James! Lily! Over here!"

"You'll be the first they'll kill," I spat at him. I knew Sirius was alive. I kenw he wouldn't give up like I had. I really wish I had more than my bra and ripped up pants on... but I guess I had to be thankful that not everything had been taken off before I was captured. though they sure as hell tried.

We rushed over to the group inside the house that was destroyed, " Oh my gosh. " Sirius. don't worry we'll get her back. " I took a look at his injuries. " I'll fix you up."

I followed James and Lily to where Sirius was. "Sirius... we have to find her," I said. I knew she had to have tol dSirius... she told me she was going to that night. "And trust me, that baby is going to be fine. So let's get our heads on straight and start thinking." I knew this was rough; I wanted to scream and cry, too. But I wasn't going to let Ember be in hell for a minute longer than necessary.

I nodded to her friend and saw Peter. " YOU." I walked right into his face and cornered him into the wall. " Why are you here?" I spat angrily.
