Skipping Rocks - Completed

Dark Room

Roxanne P.O.V

I remember falling asleep with Rose, but today I woke in Lysanders arms. The smell of peppermint flooded my nose. I was upset with him earlier for no reason, and now that I figured that out we were on good terms. I snuggle into him, not wanting the warmth to go away, it was terribly cold in the hospital and the only source of warmth was humans, and even their warmth was fading. 

My eyes flutter open to reveal the room that was lit by a single light. There was no natural lighting at all. The only noise I could hear was the sound of breathing, and the sound of Rose trying to get comfortable. I sit up and look around, Rose copies. She was probably waiting to get up for a while. I hear footsteps through the halls, Sammy and Riley were talking to someone. I crawl up to the door and listen to them.

"Yes of course sir! We got the son of your son, the daughter of the mudblood, a Weasley Johnson, and a Scamander Lovegood." Riley says happily

"You did punish Scorpius correct? He can't be falling for that mudbloods kid." A man Scolds

"of course Lucious! We punished him well" Sammy giggles 

The voices, giggles, and footsteps fade away and all I can hear is Rose breathing heavily in my ear. I snap my head around to see her behind me, she was clearly listening in as well. I smile sadly at her, Scorpius has a grandfather with the name of Lucious, and she clearly knows that Lucious also haunted my dreams once.

I'm just guessing that there are more people then just Lucious, Sammy, and Riley. My guessing games is crushed when I hear at least twenty people walk past our door. I snap my head back at Rose, but my eyes wander over to Scorpius and Lysander who just woke up and are in panic. I stand up and look at my feet, I once again let a teardrop roll down my face. The tear stops at my chin as Lysander walks up to me.

  He towers over me, I'm 5'2" and he is 6'3" I continue to stare at the floor until he puts him rough thumb on my chin and lifts it up. I continue to look down but finally give in and look up at him. He wipes my tears away and plants a kiss on my forehead. 

"It'll be okay.." He says in a low voice

I nod and turn to face the door once again, he was lying to me. It wasn't going to be fine, and we weren't going to be the same people as we were when we first came to this horrible place. I feel a hand rest on my should and then turn me around, I see Lysander once again but this time he looks at me seriously.

"It'll be okay.. " Lysander repeats 

I smile weakly at him and as I do the door swings open and Sammy grabs my arm, digging her nails into my skin. I hold Lysanders hand as she attempts to drag me out of the room, she only attempts to claw down my arm. I cry out in pain, Lysander looks at me with the same pain in his eyes I know he can't bear to see me like this. 

"It'll be okay Roxanne.. Because I love-" He starts to say but Sammy pulls me through the door and drags me through the hall before he can finish

We are halfway to the torture chamber when the lights flicker, and then turn off. Sammy is surprised and I catch her off guard. I pull my arm away and run through the halls, I bump into someone and try to run off but I'm pulled into them. I smell spearmint and know its Scorpius, I look at him in question.

"Someone cut the electricity.." He says flatly

I give him props for having the logic to know that and then I look around in panic. He is right someone cut the electricity, and who ever that might be trying to rescue us. But they may end up getting themselves killed instead. I push out of his arms and he willingly lets me go, all my effort was put into pushing myself off of him and he let all of it go. The force it would have taken to get out of his arms almost drops me to the floor, or it would have dropped me to the floor if Lysander wasn't there to catch me.

I let the smell of peppermint flood my nose happily, personally spearmint gets to strong and makes you choke. I cuddle into Lysander's chest for a split second only to be moved again. I know we need to escape but I don't have the energy to do so. I'm still in Lysanders arms when the lights flicker back on and I stand in shock. What do we do now? Scorpius grabs Roses arm and runs down the hall, Lysander grabs my arm and follows them. We go upstairs and through a couple of rooms to another bedroom. This one happened to have a bed. I sit down on the floor and think, I don't even have the energy to cry, or even talk. All I know is I have to stay awake

Please be patient about my updates, there won't be a normal time or day I will just post as often as possible! I need at least two comments before I continue onto the next chapter. the Comments need to be about what I should add or if I'm going to fast with this! Ttyl <3
