Worse Than Death. d.m

Right.

( Draco Malfoy)

When Isebella apparated away I quickly went back to the manor. I got there and everyone Jumped up to look for Isebella. " For fucks sake." Theo groaned and left the room. I felt like shit, this was all my fault. " what happened?" Cam asked me as I poured a glass of fire-whiskey. " I found her, she was at her grandmother's place, high as fuck. When I asked her to come back, she just stared at me and apparated out of the house. She's in rough shape Cam; she's so skinny, and she's so pale. Her eyes have no life in them. Cam I'm so scared. I did that to her. She's like this because of me." I downed my glass and refilled it. " Malfoy, did she say anything else? Anything that might hint at where she was going?" Arabella spoke as she sat down next to Pansy. " No. I- I don't think so." I grumbled, downing another glass. " I know where she is." Cam spoke, grabbing her wand. " what where- what do you me-" I didn't get to finish my sentence and she was gone. I just fucking hoped Cam could find her and bring her home. I wanted her back. No, I needed her back.

3 hours. Cameron was gone for 3 hours before she returned. I heard the snap from  small clink from Apparation and everyone jumped from the couches. I ran to the door and my stomach dropped. Isebella was shaking, trembling while Cam held her up. She looked worse than when I saw her before. She was so pale and so skinny. She looked sick. No one said a word. Everyone just stood there. " I'm going to bed." Isebella mumbled to Cam. " yeah okay. Let's go." I saw Isebella glance my way, but she quickly moved her eyes. I looked over at Pansy who was with Arabella, they both looked like they had seen a ghost. Which was a pretty good description of what Isebella looked like. " Where is she? Is she back!?" Theo came bursting into the room. " yeah she's upstairs resting. Theo, I don't know what happened while she was away, but it wasn't good. She's gonna need you to be there for her. She looked like when she came back from Hogwarts, summer of 5th year remember? From her mother's... house. Oh. Oh my god." Arabella broke down without being able to finish her sentence. " What? What happened? Ara are you okay?" Pansy held her as she trembled. " she... she saw her mother. Theo, you need to call your father. Now. It's gonna be like last time." No one moved. What the fuck happened summer of 5th year? " Theodore go."  Theo looked like he was about to pass out. He ran towards the kitchens where my mother was. " I'm going to take Arabella up to our room. Are you going to be okay?" Pansy asked as she turned to leave. " yeah go." I mumbled in response. " Draco, don't ask her about 5th year. Just. . . wait okay?" I nodded and they left. Leaving me and Alex in the hall. " Well I need a drink. Or 5. Are you gonna join me?" Alex asked as he left the room. " Not right now. Maybe later." I headed upstairs.

The hallway swayed as I walked. I definitely drank more than I thought. As I approached her door I froze, hearing Cam talk. " Yes. Yes I promise. He won't get hurt. Please just sit down. No. Theo won't get your father." Shit. Yes he will. " Ise you need to stop. You will only make this worse. No I can't let you- fuck Ise stop!" And that's when I ran in. My stomach dropped. Isebella had locked herself in the bathroom, and Cam was trying to get her out. " Draco, you need to leave. It's not safe for you right now. You don't understand." Cam looked frantic. " What the fuck is going on? Cameron you need to bloody answer me this fucking second." My jaw tensed, my knuckles were white. " Dray, I-I can't. It's not my place she is-" " BULLSHIT! Bullshit! You are all hiding something from me! What the fuck is wrong with her!?" I stepped towards the door. " NO! No Draco you can't go in there. You will only make her worse. Please. Please just wait. I'll tell you just don't come any closer. She should be out by now. Go sit down. I'm going to check on her." What. The. Fuck. What the fucking fuck. The bathroom door opened, " Isebella.  you should be asleep. He's here. Fucking stop it! It's going to be fine. Just like last time right? Like I said, he won't get him. Do you want to see him? Okay." Cam came back out. " fucking spill. What the fuck is going on?" Cam's face was pale. " Isebella is dead." what? I laughed so bloody hard. " what!? You're kidding right. Jeez, you are funny. She's not dead, she's right there." I pointed to the bathroom. " Draco, listen to me. Her mother killed her 3 years ago,summer before I left. But brought her back. She may look alive, but she isn't." what the fuck did she take? " you're crazy. She's fine. She's right there." My chest heaved, palms sweaty. She's not dead. She's not dead. Than she walked out.
