Slytherin Tears

40. Don't Touch Me

Rowan Bailey

I push Blaise off of me, needing to go outside. He pulls me down, away from any open windows, "Rowan. No! You don't know what's out there."

"Get off of me!" I fight him off.

"Rowan."

I look at him, my eyes slowly watering, "I need to see him, I need to know if he's okay." I get out of his grip, running out the front door we walked in from. Feeling him follow behind me.

I run outside, seeing the foggy sky once again. Moving my head from tree after tree, till it all finally clears up.

My voice shaken, "No, no, no," Is all I can say, seeing the sigh of Draco holding the gun. He looks down, modified of what he's seemed to have done. As if he's scared of himself.

I look down, seeing Jaden on the floor with blood still leaving his body. Shot in the left side of his chest; his heart.

More people come out to see what's happening. I can't help but feel my breath become heavy as my throat tightens. 'This isn't Draco, this isn't him.' is all I could tell myself repeatedly.

My eyes look at Leo, who stands aside closer to Draco, 'Told you to stay away. This happens when you don't follow my order.' he words.

My body goes from terrified to nothing but complete anger, my blood boiling, "What did you do!" I walk towards him, pushing him back; hearing my voice makes everyone else silent.

He pretends as nothing has come out of his mouth, wording to me word by word, "I didn't do anything."

I squint my eyes at him, "Did you hypnotize him or s-some-," I stop at my own fear. There's no way. I look at Draco. His body shaking, seeing the silver gun still in his hands. Evidence of him being a murderer, a killer.

Leo clears his throat, looking back at everyone as they walk away from the cabin and Draco, "Now, shall we all go home."

"You mother fucker." I push him down, making him land on a pile of leaves. I take my wand out, "Avada Kada-"

I get pulled back before killing Leo, wanting nothing more but him dead. His eyes soulless as always, showing no emotion; making me break myself down even more. He's ruined everything in my life, I just wanted nothing more but to kill him myself. "Let go of me!"

I let loose of their grip, turning around. Seeing it was Draco who stopped me, "Don't touch me." I demand out of fear.

"Row." I flinch at his movement, trying to touch me. His eyes look at mine back and forth, feeling nothing but pain from seeing him. He's scared as much as I am. His green eyes watering from me being afraid of him.

And just when everything was bad. I feel a wave of heat come from behind me, seeing the wooden cabin set into fire. Draco pulls be back away from the front door.

I layer my hands on him as he held me back by my waist. I look around, seeing Blaise, but no sign of Lena. I look down, layering my hand on the gun he still held onto. "Lena. Lena!" my breathing panics.

I let go of Draco's grip, running towards the entrance of the door. "Are you crazy?" he pulls me back.

I look at his eyes, already seeing so much pain in them as they were crying, "Don't ever put your hands on me again." I get out of his grip, running into the burning cabin. Knowing I just need to find Lena and get her out.

I cover my mouth at the sudden change of oxygen as the smoke is all I can smell, "Lena! Lena!" I scream, hoping to hear a response.

"Lena, please." I cry out. Only hearing as the cabin burns and burns itself down. My eyes water, blurring my vision of the smoke. "Lena! Please. Lena! I need you."

I look down, seeing a hand. I grab it, squeezing it; letting them know someone is here. It was blonde hair, knowing it must be Lena. I push the bookshelf that had fallen on her, using all my strength while pulling her up.

But It was Bella.

"I got you." I feel my lounges fill up with smoke, making me cough. Running out the nearest door, leading to the outside pool with her beside me.

I cough and cough as Bella does the same, falling onto the ground; relieved to get out. Feeling as if our lounges have nothing to breathe for. "Are you okay?" I ask, still coughing.

"Yeah-" she breathes out, dragging herself closer to the pool to dip her hand in. "Rowan.."

I get up to walk slowly behind her, as to hear her sudden change of tone. I feel her look at me as I look at the bottom of the pool.

Lena was there.

I immediately jump in, holding my breath as every part of my body becomes to get colder. My eyes burning as it all becomes to blur. I get to the bottom of the pool as fast as I can, grabbing Lena around her waist; pulling us both up.

I come up, already taking a breath of air. Nothing but the feeling like I could breathe again.

Bella grabs my hand, pulling us both up. Getting Lena out of the water. Her skin white and pale, slowly turning worse. "Help!" I scream as Bella tries to find Lena's pulse.

"Someone!! Help, please!" I cry out, louder than I've ever had. I could hear my heartbeat louder at every scream, asking for help, wanting nothing but someone to help.

Blaise comes running with Draco besides him, seeing Lena.

But she was gone.
