Draco's P.O.V
Running out the back door, all I saw was dark trees and moist grass.
Bending down, I touched the wet blades.
Blood
"Anna!" I screamed into the darkness.
Following the trail out toward the McKnight's parkway, my fear of finding Anna in a less then desirable state was increasing.
My heart was in my stomach.
There she was, stumbling toward, nothing.
Anywhere but the Manor.
She could hardly stand up on her own two feet, she was weak.
"Anna!" I screamed, running toward her.
Putting my hand on the small of her back she recoiled away from me.
"Anna, it's me." I tried to sound light hearted.
"Who?" She winced her eyes at my darkened figure
"Anna im here to help you" My voice cracked.
She was busted up bad and I knew there was no coming back from tonight.
She gave me a confused look.
"I wanted to help you as soon as I saw him get up from the table but my mother knew it would cause more problems. I didn't want you getting hurt anymore just because of me." Reaching out, I touched her hand.
Anna's P.O.V
Kick
After Kick
After Crucio
After Spell
My life has became nothing but torture.
Living is my punishment
Somebody had to have heard my screams.
Standing up, I knew I was bleeding.
I just didn't know from where or how bad.
Throwing up in the nearest bush, it was crimson with blood.
"Oh dear god" I whispered.
I could hardly walk, I couldn't feel anything.
I was numbed by the pain.
I really didn't know where I was going but I didn't care.
I would welcome death like a friend.
"Anna!" I heard someone screaming for me.
I can hardly remember what I said, I felt drunk.
Drunk off of this pain
I look into their tearful eyes and fell soft.
"Don't leave" I whispered falling into his arms. "Don't"
"I won't, I made a mistake." He whispered back.
"No, it's fine" I said, wrapping my arms around his neck as he picked me up.
Draco's P.O.V
Before I could even think about it, I appereated us to my house.
Landing on my feet, I was now used to the apperation process.
Anna however, not so much.
Landing on her back, she growned in pain.
Getting on her hands and knees, she threw up more blood while I held her hair back.
"I dont feel so good" She whispered
"Im sorry Anna, it was the fastest way I knew to get you to safety." I stated, scolding myself for how stupid I was.
Ralphin hearing the noise, brought a wet cloth and ice to the parlor.
"Oh Ralphin im so sorry, here let me..." Anna insisted, trying to grab at the wet cloth to clean up the blood on the floor.
"I can not let you do that. Ralphin take care of Miss Brookes." Ralphin stated.
"Ralphin go get Marzalin. I'll lay Anna on the couch and finish cleaning this up."
Laying Anna on the couch, she looked more dead than alive.
10 minutes passed and I was starting to get worried.
"Draco, stop pacing you're going to wear the floor boards out" Anna whispered, grabbing my hand as I passed.
Her skin was cold, so I sat next to her and wrapped her body into mine.
Soon, Marzalin apperated and shooed me away from Anna.
"Poor deary, a shame how pretty" Marzalin cooed to herself.
Marzalin used to be our healer elf back when the Dark Lord was at his highest. Now she just does odd jobs at Hogwarts.
"Can you help her?" I asked
"Of coarse, any friend of Master Draco's is a friend of mine" She stated with a smile.
"Master Draco must leave now so Marzalin can get to work." She winked.
Pacing more up in my room, it has been 2 hours and still no news.
Doing another rotation, Marzalin walked in with a smile.
"You did it!" I exclaimed
"She's better then new. Cleaned up, Dressed, and ready to go. Where are we apperating her to?"
I tried to think of somewhere safe
The burrow?
No, to many questions
The Dursley's?
No, they dont even like Potter.
"Heres fine" I stated, following her down the stairs.
Going to pick up Anna from the couch, I noticed she was in her own clothes.
"I apperated over and picked some up" Ralphin whispered, a little shy.
"Wicked" I stated, giving Ralphin a high five.
Taking Anna up to my room, I layed her down under the covers.
Marzalin was right, She was better then new.
Taking a tie off her wrist, I pulled her hair up as ive saw her wear it before.
It took me a couple tires but I did it without magic.
Kissing her on the forehead, I layed her glasses on the nightstand.
Sitting up against the headboard, I layed her head in my lap and watched as she slept.
Sooner then later, falling asleep myself.
