9. Angel Blood

                  

Lupin P.O.V

"How do you suppose we help her, Sirius? There's nothing we can do! Harry is our main priority right now, we need to concentrate on those three!" Molly exclaimed form across the kitchen in which the Order were seated and talking over the next move we'd make.

"They are safe at Hogwarts Molly, it's the least we could do to help the poor girl. Nothing bad will happen to Harry and the others while they are under the protection of Dumbledore, and you know that." I reasoned with her. I suppose that my sympathy for Anna stemmed from the slight connection I felt to her. All her life she had grown up, frowned upon by people she didn't even know, purely for reasons out of her control. It was very similar to my case, we were both judged and defined by things that were not our fault or choice.

"So what do you think we should do?" Emmet asked, seated in a chair much too small for his humungous frame.

"We need to send someone in there, preferably one of you," Sirius pointed at the Cullen clan, "and one of us. That way we have a range of advantages."

"I'll go." Edward raised his hand.

"Edward, no, it's too dangerous, what if this gets you killed?" Bella immediately protests, latching onto his arm.

"Bella, we are a family, she is our sister and we can't just sit back and be selfish. She was willing to risk her life for us when the Volturi came, we should do that too."

"But the Volturi would never have gotten involved if it hadn't been for her! She's put us all in danger! Right now the Volturi are probably making plans to eliminate our family altogether!" Bella started to get fired up, I had frankly never seen the quiet, shy vampire raise her voice. The other members of the order sat awkwardly, watching the confrontation unfold. This time it was Rosalie who stood up.

"Just like you did when you first showed up?! You can't think we've forgotten your selfishness, you put our whole family in jeopardy when you insisted to know about us. Anna didn't worm her way into our family, she belongs." Her striking face showed a deep rooted resentment that we had never seen before and the look on her face was rather frightening.

"Rosalie! Enough!" Carlisle barks and stands up. Edward shoots her daggers as he drapes an arm over his wife. "We have been through this all before and we won't go there again. Bella is Edwards mate, therefore she is a part of our family and you will treat her as such. As for you Edward, we appreciate your offer, but think about what you're volunteering to do, if you think it is the right thing, no one," he looks at Bella, "will stop you."

"It is the right thing, Carlisle."

"Very well, would you like to continue?" He looks to Sirius who nodded.

"Right, as I was saying, one of us also needs to go." I raised my hand and saw Tonks glance at me, she looked...worried?

"I will go with Edward, hopefully my dark arts training will be useful if the situation arises."

"You are sure this is the right way to go?" The soft female vampire asked the order. We all nodded.

"Not only is she a part of every one of us, she would also be a very powerful advantage that Voldemort would have over us."

"Okay, so what's the plan?"

"This way?" Edward's hushed voice sounded behind me and I nodded, following Severus who would open the gate.

"Lupin, the hunt will only be another half hour. Everyone will be back by then so you must be at this gate in thirty minutes. Any more and I will be forced to go through and report back." I nodded and waited as Severus reached his hand out towards the iron gate. When his hand came into contact, a faint rippling ran up from the ground and the latch released. I took a step forward, and prepared to go in.
