This disaster was just going further downhill. While running was the only option for Lily to escape, the fear and adrenaline was intoxicating to a werewolf. He knew that the spice of fear would just want him to feed more than before. It was like taunting a starving man with a beautifully cooked steak. Poor Remus for the horrible feelings he would end up going through if anything truly bad happened tonight.

Back beyond that was a regret that Lily had to go through this. While she should know about Remus' problem, she should have let the other teen be ready to tell her himself. He had a hard enough time coping with the fact that the Marauders had found out when they were twelve. It was a big deal and as sensitive as the red head was, she just bulled her way through something that really needed time and finesse.

What was done was done and now they had to protect their friends from Remus. Sirius snarled back, uncaring that a werewolf was growling at him. They were friends and the wolf seemed to remember the large dog and stag quiet well. He was trying to warn them off, trying to ease them out of its way before hurting them. It was good to know, but it meant little when the larger beast pushed passed, chasing after the downed human.

The large dog shared a glance with Prongs and bound after Moony, head down as he ran through the grass. In this form he had little hope of doing anything with a headbutt, but he had better teeth than a deer did. He let James force his antlers into Remus' side, moving to bite at Moony's front legs. He even reared up, pushing at the werewolf to get him facing toward the forest more than Lily.

With a nose like Moony's he knew out of sight, out of mind was a stupid thing to think, but hoped that chasing more defenseless animals between the trees would be thrilling enough. It wouldn't ease all the werewolf's needs, but it would keep Remus sane and that was more important. Padfoot could only hope that the werewolf would soon give up fighting its friends and just give in. Hey, maybe there was a nice human they could track through the woods. James and Sirius would never allow it to go so far as a true attack, but he didn't mind trying to let the hunter out a little.

Lily could hear the growling and knew she was in great danger now, when she tried to get up but she collapsed onto her leg again. She hurt her ankle really bad and knew she would need help, but there was no one there to help her. The guys had there hands full with Remus, her heart was pounding as everything around her just seemed to be one big pile of crap. She was a bloody idiot she knew that right then and there. She wondered if the guys would realize how terrible and figured no one would ever speak to her again.

But then she saw something big and black coming at her and saw it was Remus, she was like a baby fawn trying to get on its four legs. She felt so useless she just wished she could have done something. And soon when she got on her hands and knees she turned she was face to face with a very hungry werewolf. Her face almost turned pure white as pale as a ghost. Looking into his eyes her heart almost sank as she thought this was going to be it. She would die by her friends mouth.

"Remus...." She whispered to him she did not close her eyes like she was trying to stare him down. But then one second Remus was there and the next thing she knew a stag came right out and cracked him hard. She did not know who's animal form was who and she knew this was her chance but seeing them struggling. Looking around she saw no one to help her. And knew they would go to prison if Remus did something to someone. So She forced herself to stand up, and put wait on her ankle that hurt her like hell.

"He wont stop until I am gone" She said loud enough for the boys to hear and putting a step she cried out but bit her lip down and began to force herself to start moving again but she kept being tripped on and grunted a bit. She felt so foolish right then and heard the howls and the yipping. Looking up at the full moon she silently cursed it, all this over a damn moon. and just wanted to pull her hair out she was so damn frustrated but she was getting no where fast with her leg. She needed help.

Moony growled and snapped at Prongs and Padfoot, who were both stopping him from enjoying his meal. Couldn't they see that he wanted to eat? That he was starving? Turning his gaze from the girl to the two in front of him, he could see in their eyes that this was not the person to eat. He turned his gaze back to the girl, who was attempting to get away and snorted into her face, before headbutting her, so that she fell a few feet away from him, before growling a warning, telling her that she was lucky.

He turned his attention at the other two people who were still attempting to turn his attention to the forest and growled irritably at them. He Gave them the ‘you owe me look’ and finally gave in to their pleading looks. He turned his attention away from them, away from the girl and ran, after letting loose another long howl, and made his way into the forbidden forest. Maybe he would be allowed to eat in the forest. If they attempted to stop him from eating in there, all hell would be let loose, and he would never forgive them for letting the girl escape. Deep down inside though, he knew that the girl was important to not only them, but to him, but he didn't give the thought another chance, and raced on, trying to outrun his friends, his anger forgotten as he was let loose inside of the forest. It was just another night with his friends, nothing or no one to worry about.

James stood for a few moments, watching as Moony galloped away into the dark nebulous confines of the Forbidden Forest. His eyes scanned from Sirius to the shadows of the trees, nodding his head as if to say 'Go with him, I'll be there soon, friends'. The tone of the night had made a sudden shift from panicked and treacherous, to calm and melancholy. A soft, chilling wind whistled through his short fur, relaxing the tension from the nerves that had been continually escalating throughout the evening. A high pitched howl pierced through the silence, followed by several rough barks. Somewhere out there, hidden beneath a canopy of foliage and moss, The Marauders chased each other playfully. Their adrenaline would kick in, and all sense of despair and knowledge of stress would dissipate from their minds. James yearned to be with them, but for the time being, he had more important matters to deal with.

Turning his attention to Lily, he noticed that her back was to him and she was struggling to remain standing. In one swift and fluid movement, he transformed from his Animagus form back into the proper James. Even at a gradual pace, he caught up with the girl easily due to her injuries. "Are you alright, Lily?" he asked in a stoic voice, refraining from expressing his frustration at this sensitive time. Any and all discussion on the matter could wait until the following morning, when the shock and initial draft of anger had subsided. Instead of waiting for a reply, he put his arm under her knees and lifted the feather light girl into his grasp. He hastened towards the castle doors, casually observing her body for injuries. Her hands had obtained a few minor scrapes, but the gash running from her ankle up to her knee appeared to be deep, though it had ceased bleeding profusely.

He instinctively walked towards the Hospital Wing, careful to remain hidden in the obscured shadows of the corridors. To be frank, he was sure that if either Professor McGonagall or Dumbledore came across the pair, they would not be questioned. However, if they were to run into Professor Riddle, or a prefect, it could prove be detrimental to future Full Moon adventures. "I'm taking you to see Madame Pomfrey. For the record, she knows the condition of Remus. She does not, however, know about Sirius, Peter and I being Animagi, so there will be no need to mention that, please." he explained in a flat voice, with holding all emotion for a later day. Inside, his mind was in complete and utter turmoil. Have of him was worried to death for Lily's safety, and sanity, but the other half was ridden with frustration at the entire predicament. He needed to hurry, and make his way out to the Forest with the other Marauders. It would be his only possibly escape from this current confliction.

Sirius was more relieved that Remus turned away than words could express. He huffed through his elongated nose. At least one thing went right. The large black dog looked back at Lily, seeing how injured she was. It was a shame that she got hurt, but better a twisted ankle than being mauled by a hungry werewolf. His still grey eyes met Prongs and gave a small nod that he understood.

One last glance at Lily and Sirius turned away, knowing that James would see her to the hospital wing and Madam Pomfrey's tender care. He had the hard job of tending to a now cranky werewolf. He added his own howl to the wolf's call, hurrying to catch up.

He barked at his friend, pushing himself until he could match the werewolf step for step, pleased to be able to be running free again. This was something he had sorely missed over the summer. He could have done without the added drama, but perhaps through all of this she would realize that she just had to trust them when they told her she had to go. When he had asked her to help him protect her, that should have been hint enough. This was dangerous for those that couldn't find a way to protect themselves. Why did she have to be selfish, stubborn, and just not listen to them?

Well, now she knew better and Sirius could concentrate on keeping Remus happy and in line. He gave a small yip, nudging the werewolf playfully as they wandered the forest. Hopefully Prongs would join them tonight and Peter would find his way to them. It would be better to have the whole group together, but just keeping Remus from doing something he would regret come morning would have to be good enough.

Lily heard a voice behind her and was and grunted as she just wanted to tell him to go back with his friends. But she knew she was hurt worse then she could fell it, feeling his arm around her as she leaned against him. Her heart was beating quickly as everything around her just seemed to turn to shit, and she felt like total rubbish right then and there. But again the feeling of being useless could be felt in her heart though she said nothing about it, she knew better then to even saying something like that now.

Limping badly with the help of James she was able to head to school, and even the nurse knew it? Sighing a bit "So she knows it and she isn't even a friend, you know trust works both ways right?" She looked down seeing blood fall from her leg and wanted to cry she was in such pain, and silently sighed defeated physically and emotionally. When he said the bit about them and the Animagi situation she knew she held a big responsibility then and there, more so then just finding out moonys problem, she just nodded and gave him a painful smile.

"I didn't...plan on telling anyone anything, and if we bump into anyone that is not Madame Pomfrey we will stay on the same page James, we will tell them that we were on our way to the school, we lost track of time and I fell into a hole I did not see. If it comes from me any professor would believe it since people know I don't lie, alright?" She said to James, willing to lie and be sacrificed for punishment to protect her friends. Hanging her head she sighed silently.

"James.....I'm.....sorry I know that makes up for nothing but" She grunted even more panting.

Lily's previous comment only caused his frustration to further augment, he felt the color draining slowly from his face. Instead of belligerently lashing out like every fiber of his being was screaming at him to do, he opted to exude a sense of poise and self control. "I don't particularly care to listen to you speak of trust at the moment, Lily. You all but shattered mine tonight. I'll reiterate my words from earlier this evening: this is far greater than a matter of simple trust, and it always will be." he retorted, the words feeling caustic and cold on his lips. No part of him enjoyed speaking to her like this, but the events that had occurred this night were unacceptable and terrifying. Inside, his heart was still beating at thrice it's natural speed, his body was in a constant state of hyper awareness. Tomorrow, once he had further contemplated the matter and had a chance to unwind, he would talk to her on the matter.

"Yes, Lily, as it happens, quite a few of the professors know of Remus' condition. It's is quite necessary for them to understand that a werewolf is frolicking on the grounds under the light of the Full Moon. Madame Pomfrey, bless her heart, is attempting to brew a Wolfsbane Potion to ease his transformation at this very moment." he explained, though he didn't feel as if he needed to justify himself on this subject. He let out a long, drawn out sigh of exhaustion as Lily stated that she would fabricate a web of tales in order to protect them. Of course she would, because she was always concerned for the well being of others above herself. James instantly felt horrible for the brash words he had spoken only moments ago, regardless of the fact that they were honest. He internally cursed himself for not waiting until his temper had subsided before he had breached the matter with her. Alas, what's done is done, and he cannot change the past.

"Thank you, Lily, I appreciate it more than you could ever understand." he responded briefly, not wanting to converse additionally on the matter until tomorrow. Without realizing, they had already reached the doors to the Hospital Wing. From underneath the mahogany entry way, James could see the light was on and shadows were crossing back and forth inside. It would seem that Madam Pomfrey did not have the need for sleep as most did. He set Lily gently down on the ground, making sure she was braced securely against the door. "Wait until I've gone past the corner before knocking, if you don't mind. I've grown tiresome from the events tonight, and am in no mood for an interrogation from Poppy. I'll see you in the morning Lily, feel better." he said, offering a weak smile to the red head. He placed a brief kiss on her forehead before turning on the ball of his heal, and starting his journey back out to the Forbidden Forest. For now, he needed to lose all inhibitions and hindering thoughts of tonight's occurrence with his friends.

Moony ran until the girl and the others were far behind him. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that if he had gotten the girl, he would never have forgiven himself, but then the wolf growled. Why did those idiots have to interfere? They knew Moony was not a wolf to mess with when he’s on the prowl. Never mind that, he caught another whiff of something, and that drove the girl, the boys, and his friends out of his mind for the time being

Moony stuck his nose in the dirt, sniffing around for something to hunt down, seeing as his so-called friends interrupted his last meal. He didn't’ know what their problem was, but he did understand that whatever would have happened, his friends and him would feel devastated and at a loss. That didn't mean he couldn't be mad at his friends at the moment.

He continued sniffing around, and when he caught a sniff of something, he took off at a dead run, heading in the direction of whatever was out there. His eyes roamed the forest, and he slowed to a slow pace, and turned to look at his friends, his eyes meeting Padfoot’s.

He let out a long territorial howl then burst into what one would think was laughter, if wolves could laugh that was. He growled playfully at Sirius and then turned in the direction of the scent of the human that was no doubt roaming around. He looked back at Sirius as if to say You gonna stop me from hunting, or can I enjoy myself now?[/b]
