"When the sun came up you were looking at me."

"Send me an owl immediately when she wakes up." Elena repeated, making sure that all the medication was in the small bag for the fifth time. "Remus, this is serious."

"Yes, we've been acquainted." Sirius mused from the back, coming down the stairs with a huge suitcase. "Not the time again?"

"What do you think?." Lily shouted from the kitchen, shaking her head. "Are you sure we shouldn't tell her parents?"

"No, not yet." Elena immediately answered, not even bothering to think about it. "I wish you guys didn't have to do this, but I can't leave. The Lawsons-"

"It's okay." James responded, shrugging. 'We can handle it."

"And my parents can help too." Remus added, trying not to think of the fact that he'd have to make Callisto bleed three times a day. "If anything happens, we'll apparate back immediately."

"Keep an eye on her, okay?"

Usually Remus got incredibly annoyed whenever someone repeated the same thing over and over again, but he could understand why Elena was acting like that. Callisto hadn't even bat an eye for two days, and Elena had the Lawsons questioning her every move for no reason. The fact that Callisto's legal guardians were still her parents made everything much more complicated, but they had managed to come up with a plan that was somewhat acceptable. Callisto would be transferred to Remus' house under the pretense that her parents were worried sick and the moment she woke up, Elena would come. After that, Callisto would return to school and everything would go back to normal.

The first ones to apparate were Remus, Callisto and Elena. Seeing as Callisto was unconscious and Remus couldn't legally apparate, Elena needed to transport them to the house. Remus closed his eyes, hoping that for the first time in his life, he wouldn't collapse the moment his feet touched the ground. Thankfully, his legs only trembled lightly and he stumbled upon landing, managing not to drop Callisto on the floor.

"Careful, Remus!" Hope's voice was heard and he rolled his eyes, helping Elena set Callisto on the couch. "I have prepared the guest room for her. Can you lift her on your own?"

"No problem." Remus nodded, getting her off the couch and going up the staircase. Usually, his mother's warnings about the staircase went over his head, but this time even the thought of dropping her down the stairs was terrifying. Remus got in the small room, setting Callisto on the bed. He turned around to leave, stopping in his tracks. He hadn't really gotten a good look at her the past two days, too afraid of what he could see if he paid attention. However, the temptation was too strong.

Her pale skin had a gray tone to it, a blue hue on her lips, as if she was freezing. Remus put the blanket over her, pushing the blonde hair away from her face. Elena had been diligently cleaning the blood off her face, hair and neck whenever she bled, something he would be doing everyday too now. Usually she would get livid when someone touched her face, screaming about dirty hands and all sorts of germs.
