I wimpered. "No, no...no....this is all my fault. I'm sorry...."

I had to get out of here.

The screams of pain were too much for me. I couldn't handle it.

I pulled my knees to my chest and put my hands over my ears, shutting my eyes, frantically trying to block out the screams of pain. It was too much. I can't stand it! It's tearing me apart!

Another scream echoed through the room an off the walls, and i groaned.

Just stop. Now. Please.

I heard footsteps. "Hey!"

"What?"

"Get up! Come here, and don't try anything!"

"Oh go lick a Cauldron Bum, Nathanial."

"How dare you use a wizard swears towards me!?"

"Just did."

I stood and walked to the door. "What?!"

"Come on! And shut up, i'm tired of hearing your voice."

"Feeling's mutual."

He grabbed me and pulled me up the stairs. I knew what was coming. I was about to die.

Good. I can't handle this anymore.

He dragged me to a empty room and shoved me forward, sending me sprawling on the floor.

"Stay there."

"Nowhere else i can go, is there now?"

"Shut up!"

I rushed over to Draco, who was on the floor, bleeding. He was breathing hard, his hair stuck to his face.

"Draco, are you alright?"

"You and your stupid questions, Rose."

"I know it was stupid! Just anwser me."

"No. It hurts."

"This is all my fault. If i had made you leave, then you wouldn't- Draco, what is that?"

"What?"

"In your pocket."

"My wand." He said casually. "My wand! Ow!"

"Stay still! I'm using your wand."

"For?"

"I said stay still."

I pulled his wand from his pocket. Eh. It felt all wrong. I'd have to deal with it.

"Where does it hurt?"

"Everywhere."

He moved his arm and a small trickle of blood moved down, and i grimaced.

"My fault...."

I tapped the cut and he winced, but it faded away.

"It feels wrong, doesn't it? My wand."

"Very wrong." I said. "But i'd rather it feel wrong than not do anything. Nathaniel's got my wand."

"Who?"

"That Death Eater that brought me here." I explained. "Er...hold still, this is gonna sting." I paused. "A lot."

"What do you- ow!"

"Sorry." I said. "Dark magic hurts a lot."

"You used dark magic?"

"Duh. Believe it or not, it's very useful at times."

"Never thought you would be one to use dark magic, Rose."

"Well, Draco, how do you think i've gotten so far?" I smirked. "I don't always play nice. You can move, now, if you like."

He sat up and i handed him his wand.

"Why do you think they brought you here?"

"Probably just teasing me, giving me some happiness before i die." I sighed. "You?"

"I thought to make you suffer and watch me bleed to death, but apparently not."

"No, that's too easy." I said. "Certain death is now certain, Draco, so i suggest you get to accepting it real quick."

"What if i don't want to?"

"Then you'll mourn into depression. I don't want that. You and everyone else need to continue like i was never even here. I was never intended to be here, anyways, fate just decided to screw me over."

"What's that, a muggle saying?"

I smiled. "Yeah. A muggle saying." I nodded. "So, back to the point."

"I won't let you die, Rose."

"But i will." I said. "And it's just something that-"

He put a hand on my cheek and pulled my face to his, and i felt that familliar fire all over again. He hadn't kissed me in a while, but i was beginning to miss it.

I sound like a fan girl, but it's so true.

"I've been waiting for ages to be able to to that again."

I half smiled at Draco, ignoring the footsteps. He seemed oblivious to them.

"Bye....Draco."

"What?"

"Oi!"

Two Death Eaters burst through the door, including Nathanial.

"C'mere!"

I waved at Draco and smiled one more time.

"I love you."

He stared at me. "I lov-"

The doors slammed shut and i was dragged away before he could finish.

My certain and eminate death was coming.

"Ready to die?" Nathanial teased me as they pulled me through the halls.

"Yes." I anwsered. He was shocked.

"Your ready to die?"

"Yes. I've accepted the fact that i'm not suppost to really even be here." I said. "So i'm ready to die when the time comes."

He shook his head and opened another set of doors. "That's no fun."

"I know."

"Rose!"

I turned my head. "Go away. You'll just be killed to, Draco."

The doors shut behind the three of us and i kicked Nathanial. "Oi. Lock those doors."

He did as i said, surprisingly, as we continued down the hall.

"You can let me go." I said. "I'm square. I'm not gonna run from it."

"Alejandro, let her go."

The second Death Eater, Alejandro, let me go and i followed them down some more halls.

"Your not running."

"Of course not." I said. "So, when are we getting there?"

"Next room."

"You don't like your job." I said abruptly. "I can tell by the looks on your faces. What, were you forced or were your parents Death Eaters?"

"Parents."

I nodded in understanding. "I know what you mean. Did you ever think to stand up for yourselves?"

"Not really. We had no choice."

"Draco thought the same thing." I said. "Honestly, you do have a choice. It's your life. This it?"

"Yup."

"You two are alright." I said, walking through the doors. "See ya on the other side, boys."

At least two dozen sets of eyes peered at me as i walked forward in the room, hands in my pockets, sleeves pulled up. Yeah. I had a Dark Mark and i wasn't afraid to show it. Who cares?

"Hello, Voldemort." I smiled a big cheesy smile as i came face to face with him from across the room. "Fine evening, is it?"

"Lovely, now that-"

"Im gonna be dead?" I nodded. "Have at me."

"Are you not afraid, child?"

I shrugged. "I'm afraid of lots of things now." I said. "But that's okay. I'm not afraid of death. It's just a new adventure for me to start. Guess who i get to see?" I paused and smiled, looking around. "Albus Dumbledore!"

Voldemort looked slightly offended and angry. He was all like 'How dare you speak his name in my presence?!!?'

If you can do that in a stupid voice of a guy, that's my impression of Voldy. *smirks*

"And i see your showing your mark."

I shrugged again and waved my arm around. "Yeah! Isn't it the best? Godrick, at least I'm proud of it! Most of you idiots here have it from fear!"

Several of the Death Eaters looked offended, some nodded as if saying 'true, true.' Either way, it was kinda funny.

Maybe everything was funnier because i was about to die, i dunno, but i like it.

"Gimme my wand so i can die with dignity, at least!" I said. "Gosh,who are you people? Are you even wizards?!"

Nathanial threw me my wand and i shoved it in my pocket happily.

"So, why are you all here, hm?" I asked. "Surely you don't need two dozen of your followers to kill me. You can't be that stupid. Can you?"

I shoved my hand in my pocket and felt around for the small, illegal instrument.

Pssst. I wasn't dying this way! Ha! I tricked you.

I turned the time turner in my pocket, and i zoomed through time, thirty minuets ago. I was in the same room with Draco, but alone. My past self didn't exist, right now.

"You were just there, and-"

"I know, Draco. Look, i have to do this before they come."

"Do what?"

"I love you, Draco."

He walked over to me, and sighed.

"I love you too, Rose."

"Sorry this is abrupt, but i have to go! See you later, okay?!"

"Wait, what?!"

I turned around and bolted through the back doors, frantically looking around.

As much as i hated to say it, i didn't know Malfoy Manor. I had no sense of direction what so ever.

None. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

So, i ended up going with my gut, and taking a left.

I heard footsteps stomping not far behind me, and started to slightly panic.

"Okay, left. Right!"

Oh my gosh, really?! How the heck was i suppost to find my way back to that one room?

Malfoy Manor was a huge maze of...maze! It seemed impossible that people knew their way around this place, but i guess living here most of your life would mean you knew your way around places, huh?

Anywhere a mouse can go, right?

Ugh.

I yelped as someone grabbed me from behind and threw me in a closet.

Why is it always the dang closets?!

"Rose, hush!"

"What is it with you and closets?!" I bursted, pointing a finger in Draco's face. "Give me a warning, will you?!"

"Be quiet, they'll hear you."

I rolled my eyes and closed my mouth, listening to the arguing voices outside of the closet.

"Where is she?"

"We'd better find her."

"No dip."

I tried not to laugh as i heard their footsteps fade away, along with the voices.

"Where are you going?"

"Back to that main room." I said. "I'm gonna backtrack."

"I know your lost, Rose. Just ask."

"I will not ask for directions." I denied.

"Rose..."

"Number one, no. Number two, if i get caught, your in danger too. No. No. And no."

"Rose, trust me."

Draco placed one hand on my shoulder, the other on my cheek.

"Trust me."
