Eternity ~ Draco Malfoy x tvd

My eyes flickered between Draco and the old death eater. I scolded my eyes towards the old man before a crooked smile spread across his face. My chest burned as I locked eyes with him, refusing to look down.

People continued to fight in the background. I could hear grunts and cry's coming from around me but all I could feel was alone. Alone in a war full of people.

The death eater took off as he ran between the crowds. Swishing his wand as he pleaded. I hesitated before looking down.

My eyes widened as I shivered. Draco continued to lay on the floor as I slowly walked towards him. I felt an instant chill move around me. I placed my hand upon his chest as I quickly moved it away. I let out an unsteady breath.

"Draco?" I murmured but no reply.

A pit was created in my chest as I looked around my surroundings. Loved ones huddled together protecting each other from spells.

I was in disbelief. A tear slid down my check as a heavy sigh followed.

He's not dead. He can't be.

I focussed my attention to him as I try hear for his heart beat, but nothing.

Thoughts flooded through me as I anxiously bit onto my lip. I moved closer to Draco. I fed Draco my blood hesitantly, not caring who saw. I sit next to him shaking. My blood could heal people when they were alive, not when they were already gone.

How could people still be fighting, when you were stollen from your last breath.

Another tear fell down my check, "Draco?" I questioned him again. No reply.

My hand placed upon him again but this time I refused to move. We understand death only after it has placed its hands on someone we love.

I sniff as my checks now stain with tears. "Remember- when you asked me 'when you can live forever what do you live for?' I know the answer now..." I weep. "It was so I could find you. Learn how to love, Draco."

I wipe my check with the back of my hand as I watch his fragile body. I never understood the point in loving someone to the point it hurt to be without them, I thought it only happened in fairytales. I know now. He showed me.

I close my eyes as i felt a hand rest on my shoulder, but I didn't move at first. "Hey..." I recognisable voice said.

Luna stood beside me as her eyes full up with tears. "I'm so sorry, Lilith." She comforted me.

Time felt like it was slowly coming to a stop as I reopened my eyes. I knew there would be days in the future that Draco will not be apart of, but it was too soon. I looked down at my bracelet, the one Draco got me as a birthday present. A small smile spread across my lips as a memory sunk in. I twist the bracelet around to show the infinity symbol. I held it right to me as I looked up towards Luna.

"Cant you save him?" Luna's voice sweetened. "You know... like turn him." She quieted herself.

"It's too late." My face dropped as I overheard the words I just said. It's too late. I let it sink. "He saved me even though I didn't need to be saved." I stuttered.

Another moment goes by as hug myself. Hanging my head low. Luna left to go get Narcissa, leaving me alone with Draco' lifeless body. My heart ached. "This wasn't meant to be the end." I whimpered quietly to him. "I should have listened to you when you told me to turn you earlier. You would be here now." I take a deep breath steadily. "We were meant to learn together, make mistakes, buy a house perfectly by the beach, I know how annoyed you would have got in the muggle world." I giggle softly to myself. "We were going to get a dog. Take it on walks as we watch the weather change." My voice becomes unsteady. "Please come back to me." I cry.

My fathers voice towers over me, interrupting my thoughts. "Lilith..." he trailed off.

I jumped to my feet, removing my hand upon Draco. My checks stained of tears as I stare at my father. He opened his arms as he pulls me into an embrace. I hadn't hugged my father since I was little. I wrapped my arms around him, squeezing him tightly. "Please help him." I shake uncontrollably.

My father pulls away from our embrace and place both of his hands upon my shoulders, a small smile spreads across his face as I furrow my eyes brows.

"Why are you smiling?" I snap.

An evil like chuckle excaps his lips. "I had no desire to help him nor did I particularly want to." He said as I get more confused. "But that doesn't change that fact that you're my daughter and I would do anything to keep you happy."

My eyes widen as I step backwards. "What did you do?"
