Under My Skin

Chapter Thirty Three

Third Persons POV ~
"He's here"

Kierans eyes fluttered open, widening at the sight. Fire, everything was on fire. His body ached with pain. He heard coughs everywhere. The coughs of people he knew.

His friends.

Athalia, Scorpius, and Delilah had run in after him. Not after him, after her. Ember was lying on his chest, unconscious. "Ember?" He weakly shook her. She didn't wake up.

"KIERAN!" Athalia screamed. She was scared. At the sound of Athalias fearful voice and the sight of Embers limp body, he began to get up. Ignoring the bleeding gash on his torso and the explosion of pain that came with it. He held the unconscious girl bridal style in his arms.

His breaths slow and labored. He closed his eyes and then reopened them. His sight finally coming back to him. "Athalia! Get on my back!" He yelled to his sister as he finally found her only a couple feet away. She only nodded not being able to speak.

His wand rested in the palm of his hand. "Imperio!" He called out causing a light to erupt from the tip of the wand. Kieran felt his body weigh down as his sister rode on his back.

Delilah was sitting on the ground her head resting against the walls of the maze. Eyes shut, chest barely moving with her breaths. Scorpius leaned over on his knees while his shirt covered his nose and mouth.

"Pick Delilah—" He coughed again. "Up and follow me!" Kieran ordered his bestfriend. As quick as he could Scorpius picked up Delilah and then followed Kieran as he ran through the maze.

The pain on his sides only getting worse. Someone had tried to murder him tonight. That someone was still hiding in the shadows of the smoke. Kieran continued to run with Scorpius right on his tail.

"KIERAN!" Athalia screamed out. "Athalia?..." Her weight wasn't weighing him down anymore. "ATHALIA!" He called out to her again.

When he turned around he was met with fire. A blazing fire 10 ft tall and blocking him from his friends.

"Things could have gone so much better for you Kieran." At that familiar sinister voice Kieran's head whipped around. "Ill fucking kill you." He swore to his grandfather. "Maybe in another life." He grinned and then he yelled.

"CRUCIO!" Kieran managed to throw Embers unconscious body to the ground so she wasn't hit. But he didn't manage to get out of the way. The spell hitting him and dropping him to his knees. "KIERAN!" The sounds of his friends pleas and yells echoing through his head as he hollered out in pain. "Say hi to Dabria for me." Voldemort mocked his grandson.

"Say it to her yourself." Another voice rang through Kieran's head. Like music to his ears. Ember shakily stood up, wand in hand. Pointing it right at Voldemort. She took a few strides to where Kieran sat and stood in front of him.

"Aren't you afraid of my darkness my dear?" It was the only thing keeping Voldemort going, the fear his name causes throughout the society. "No," Ember replied bluntly and then pausing. "You haven't even seen mine yet." A grin widening on her lips.

"AVADAKEDAVRA!" He yelled with his wand pointed at the girl. "AVADAKEDAVRA!" She mimicked the same position. "I killed you once! I'll do it again!" Voldemort warned the girl. "Only if i don't kill you!" She tested his patience with a crazed glint in her green eyes.

Once bright with innocence, now dark with power. The fire that was once orange and red with rage was now a dark green. Matching the Slytherin green of both their houses. Everything was green. The magic shooting from their wands, the fire surrounding them, the sky that shined above them.

Anybody who caught sight of what they did, froze with terror. Terror and amazement. Kieran had risen from the pain. Fighting back and finding his strength again.
