Continued: A New Start (#3)

Harriate allowed herself to sink to the floor back against the tree as she watched the fire burn. Right now she felt empty. She couldn't cry, she had emptied herself of tears, she couldn't scream she couldn't laugh. After all Cody was right. she had caused this. Codys words kept echoing around in her head.

After a while harriate glanced around for Remus. Not seeing him she limped back to the den and saw him curled up. She sat down beside him wrapping her arms around him and offered him a small smile.

'Not at all. Why would you think that?' She asked confused. Remus was the nicest person she had ever met.

'Remus if you want to go back then go back. You know they'd be more than happy to see you. All of them.' Harriate said softly.

'Go where you want to Remus. Not what other people want you to do. Do what you want. What would make you happy. Forget everyone else, you deserve that much at least.' Harriate said watching him as he stood.

Harriate sighed and lent back against a tree watching the orange glow. She turned her eyes up to the stars and looked at 2 close bright stars.
'i'm so sorry.' She whispered before she felt her eyes close and sleep overtake her as the stars twinkled high above.

Harriate twisted slightly against the tree and blinked, eys opening. She stretched and rubbed at her eyes glancing around. She saw the others eating but made no move to head over. Her eyes glanced over the area looking for remus.

Harriate grew worried not seeing Remus and pushed herself up and limped over to the others.
'Do you know where Remus is?' She asked quietly looking worried.

'oh..er..i was there...i just...stood in the trees..and Remus...well his son turned up..i better go check. Thank you.' Harriate replied awkwardly and limped off to try and find Remus, to the area from last night.

Harriate glanced around in worry before sighing remembering Remus words from last night. He had probaly gone back. She slumped down under a tree gazing at the remainder of the fire. She just hoped he was safe and happy.

Getting up Harriate wanted to go back to the river where she had seen Luke last before he had died. Limping over and Seeing Remus there she smiled slightly.
'can i join you?'

Harriates eyes widened as she made a grab for Remus.
'Wrong time to be heavy Remus.' She said grabbing the edge of his shirt trying to keep his head above water. Now she really wished she knew how to swim.

Harriate kept a tight hold on Remus shirt trying to pull him up. She felt her fingers slipping so she jumped in and tried to push Remus out lossing her grip on the side. her head plunged under but she continued trying to push Remus up and out.
