Fawns Heart

{Sixty-seven}

I woke up to a dim light coming through the curtains. My throat was dry and my eyes struggled to stay open. A searing pain erupted through my body, which caused me to gasp sharply.

"Fawn, hey love, it's okay. What do you need?" Draco popped up in a chair next to me.

He looked tired, his hair was wavy and slightly messy, but somehow, he still managed to look as good as ever. The pain had slightly subsided as I looked at him, his features created a block from the pain, the only thing I needed was him.

"I just need you. Please don't leave." I almost begged.

I was scared this was all a dream, I was scared I was still in that cellar, that I was just asleep and dreaming of things that I begged to happen. I knew he was always too good to be true, and I was afraid I was right, what if I woke up, what if none of this happened. I could still be tied to that chair for all I knew.

"I'm not going to leave you Fawn, never again." He held my hand tightly as he knelt on the floor next to the bed I was on.

I looked around the room, it was somewhere I hadn't been, I had absolutely no idea where I was, I couldn't remember how I got there. The only thing I could remember was the pang I felt in my chest, the pang I had been waiting to feel. He was the one who pulled me out, he really was my guardian angel.

"Lie with me." I whispered as I gently placed my hand on his cheek, taking him all in as if it would be the last time I saw him.

"I don't know if I should Fa-"

"Please Draco."

He reluctantly nodded and rather carefully lay down in the bed next to me, he carefully held onto me, he touched me as if I was going to break at any given moment. I took the chance to examine the room closely, there were two beds, the one we were in, and one on the opposite wall, underneath a window. There were a set of draws against the wall in front of us, as well as a full-length mirror next to them.

"We're in Bill and Charlie's old room, Molly said it would be alright, seen as though neither of them are here." He held me a little tighter as he explained.

"How long have we been here?" I tried to shift slightly so that I could be pressed up next to him, just so that I could feel his warmth.

"About three days now." I could feel him stiffen at my movements, as if he didn't want to touch me, as if he didn't want to hold me.

"Draco? What's wrong?" I asked as I turned to face him, I could tell his mind was working, he was in deep thought. His eye brows were slightly furrowed as his brain ticked away.

"I- I just... I'm sorry Fawn, I'm so so sorr-"

"Draco- hey," I wiped away a stray tear that had rolled down his cheek, "Draco, listen to me. This was not your fault, they would have gotten me either way, there was no escape." I rubbed circled on his cheekbone in an attempt to sooth him.

"But-"

"Seriously, Draco. It wasn't your fault, none of it was your fault." I sighed.

"Oh, Fawn! Dear, your awake!" Molly beamed as she slowly shut the door behind her.

"Hi Molly." I smiled tiredly.

"Come down for some food will you? It looks like you haven't eaten in months." She tilted her head sadly.

I probably hadn't eaten for months, I don't imagine You Know Who would have been bothered to feed me, that would have been the least of his worries.

"Get changed, I'll wait for you in the hallway." Draco said softly as he helped me get out of the bed, gesturing to a trunk that lay on the floor.

My limbs were stiff, I ached from head to toe. Draco softly shut the door behind him and waited for me to change into something I hadn't worn for the past three days. I searched through the trunk, it was Draco's. I pulled out a large green hoodie as well as a pair of grey sweatpants.
