What Have You Done to Me? (Blaise Zabini/oc fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty: And My Life Goes Wack

I woke up from a horrible dream. Just to realize it wasn't a dream.

I heard another scream.

My eyes flew open and I crawled out of my duvet, throwing on a sweater, and shook Nat awake.

"Nat!" I screamed.

She sat up and the scream continued.

"Is that..."

I nodded. "I need to go," I whispered frantically. "I-I love you, okay? Tell Blaise I love him too. J-just in case-"

Nat had tears streaming down her face as she hugged me tightly. "I don't blame you, okay? Now go. I don't want you dead, Lyrana Abella," she ordered, kissing both of my cheeks.

I nodded, summoning my small trunk. "I-I love you. I-I might not show it but I do," I added, stopping in the doorway.

Nat sighed. "I love you too. Now go! I don't want you dead," she commanded.

I lowered my head, put on the hood of my hoodie and ran out of the dungeons, dreading what I had to do.

I bounded up to the main hallway. People were looking around in confusion. I crept away from the mess when all of a sudden, a curse went flying from Belllatrix's wand.

"Shit," I muttered under my breath.

Bella cackled as she danced among the students. "Ly-Ly! Help me!" She cackled, looking straight at me.

I sighed, pulling down my hood and making my face an unreadable mask. "Antecula! Everte Statum!" I yelled, shooting students back before I sprinted out of the castle.

I ignored the shouts and weaved my way through the red bursts of lights from someone's wand.

"MALFOY! SNAPE! VAILLANCOURT!" a voice bellowed.

I glanced to my left, only to see Draco.

"Drac," I wheezed, tying my hair up.

"Ly," he breathed. "I'm sorry," he repeated over and over.

"Just- DRACO DUCK!" I screamed, pushing him to the ground. I felt a rock cut me but I didn't care. Why? Because Potter was advancing on us with his wand out.

"Lyra. Draco, go," Snape ordered.

"But-" Draco started.

"No! Go, Draco! Take Lyra to safety!" Snape roared.

I just tripped over my own feet, getting up and running to the gates. "Come on, Drac!" I screamed, tears streaming down my face.

That made Draco stumble after me. The moment he crossed the gates he took my hand and apparated.

We crashed inside the Malfoy Manor's parlour.

I fell on my knees and screamed, pounding my fists on the cold ground.

"Ly," Draco pried me from the ground, hugging me tightly. "It's going to be fine. Lyra. You're safe. Lyra," Draco muttered over and over.

It sounded like he was trying to convince himself rather than me.

"No. It's not. It's not, Drac," I whispered into his shoulder, wiping my tears. I stood up and took in a deep breath. "I hate myself," I whispered again.

"Me too," Draco whispered back before pulling me up the stairs and into my room. He dropped me off and went to his room which was across mine.

And when I say that I couldn't sleep, I couldn't sleep.

A/N: One hell of a chapter, tbh
