Missing

Drago, seeing Bearse killed in front of him, knew that this was not his fight anymore. He didn't want to die tonight and knew that he couldn't face down to powerful witches. With a single motion so quick it was almost unseen, Drago ran deeper into the woods, then off school grounds to Apparate to his home. The whole while he thought of his revenge on Alicia Barker, the b*#ch that had cost him his dinners.
 
Alicia staggered backward and dropped her wand. Tears came to her eyes as she stared at the now lifeless body of her cousin. She was only vaguely aware of the fact that Drago had left. The air had now calmed and the rumbling had stopped. Alicia dropped to her knees and, without taking her eyes off of Bearse, put a hand out on Andromeda's arm.
 
Cecily heard the harsh breathing of their student beside her and slowly moved her head, seeing Alicia sitting on the ground beside her. She felt her body moving and could hear herself talking but in her mind she was silently screaming in horror at what had transpired this night.
"We need to get her to the hospital,"she reminded Alicia gently, her voice void of emotion, her eyes and face blank. She conjured a stretcher and using magic, gently floated Andromeda onto it, floating it above ground. "Alicia?" she murmured, reaching a hand down to help her up.
 
Alicia blindly accepted Cecily's hand and stood on shaky legs. Her eyes could still not leave the body of Bearse but she nodded her head slowly. "Yes, let's get her to the Hospital Wing. I'll have to contact the Ministry about the body." Her whispering voice chocked over the last word as her mind swam with childhood memories of her and Bearse.
 
Cecily's face crumpled at Alicia's words. She sobbed twice, the sounds harsh and loud in the silence of the night before she wrestled them down. She didn't speak again as they moved across the grounds with the stretcher between them, not trusting her voice.
 
Andromeda's eyes slowly flickered open, above her she could see her headmistress and her professor. She didn't know what had happened but she had a strong sensation of movement, as if she was flying lying down. She sighed as the pain once again tore threw her body. She felt colder than ever now.
"Miss?" she whispered, the lone word was a struggle to get out.

She tried to move her legs but felt nothing, she tried to sit but was unable. So she stayed lying down. Her heartbeat was pounding in her ears now but it was so deathly slow. She was scared still, so very scared.
 
As they walked, Alicia reached out and grasped Andromeda's hand, hoping to offer some comfort to the strong girl. She had been through so much and was still strong. This thought encouraged Alicia to stay strong as well. Standing straighter, she retrieved her wand and walked quicker, wanting to get the girl to the Hospital Wing as quickly as possible.
 
"It's going to be okay,"Cecily whispered, concentrating on keeping her wand steady. Soon they were at the castle and could go safely through the doors.

(I've made a topic at the hospital wing for us.)
