Chpt 25 – The End

I stepped out of the fire place gracefully earning a nod from the concierge and walked over to the concierge desk. "My name is Elizabeth Duchaine I do believe I'm being expected."

"As you're Bekim's sister." He confirmed and then he really looked at me, "He talks about you all the time didn't mention you were a looker though."

"While I am flattered I do believe you should just give me the key." He handed me the key and I walked up the stairs to Bekim's and now my apartment. I swiped in and then looked around at the beautiful surroundings and when I put my bag down in the kitchen I heard someone step behind me. I grabbed my wand and turned to face my opponent and found Bekim, he had his wand drawn as well. "Bekim." I whispered.

"Bes!" He whispered back pocketing his wand and walking over to embrace me.

"Why are you here?" It was then I removed the spell to show Bekim the mark. "Bes!" He exclaimed "this is all my fault I have to go back and fix this."

"No, what you need to do is take me to take me to 557 East 70th street."

"Bes that's a four minute walk from here."

"Great then let's go now!" I exclaimed.

"Bes, why?"

"Because that's how I will be saved Bekim!" Then I grabbed him and we left.

Bekim was right it was very close. We walked through the front doors and to the front desk. "I'm looking for Dr. Corwick."

"Do you have an appointment?" I didn't schedule one, but everything else seemed ot be planned out for my escape so I took a shot.

"Uh yes I am Elizabeth Duchaine."

"Oh yes your uncle scheduled an appointment for you, I only remember because he was a pervert." I merely smiled and thanked her. We walked up to his office and walked right in.

"This process will be extremely painful and there is about a fifty fifty chance you will not live." Corwick immediately stated before I even sat down by his desk. I didn't even hesitate.

"Do it." He nodded his head and took me to an operating room and sat me on the table.

"You'll be here for at least a week just to get all that dark magic out of you, then it all depends on when and if you wake up when you finally go home. She's going to need you more than ever." He indicated to Bekim."

"How will this work?" I just had to ask the medical nerd in me was too curious.

"I will filter a custom potion through you which removes all of your blood gradually at the same time I will be replenishing the blood supply, and while all that is going on I will be saying many complex incantations to make sure it is all removed."

"What the point of the incantations?" Corwick smiled.

"You must want to be a doctor, most ask why the potion, well you obviously know that the dark magic infiltrates the blood stream so by replacing it all then it's no longer there. Well the incantations remove what isn't in the blood stream for example what's merely in the skin or in Voldy's case what he has placed in your mind."

"Sounds logical enough let's do this." Corwick nodded and looked at me.

"Tell you what you get out and I'll let you study underneath me." I smiled a big toothy grin and he returned it.

"Wait." We both looked over at Bekim.

"Are you sure Bes?"

"Bekim, of course." He merely nodded his head and Corwick began.

DRACO P.O.V

I wondered how Bes was doing and how she planned to escape completely. He had her marked there was no way she could escape, then again she wouldn't try if she didn't have a plan. I just had to trust her. Yet I had a bed feeling that she was in a bad situation, she was hurt. "Don't you even think about it Duchaine." I thought to myself.

BES P.O.V

I could feel the burning through my veins it only lasted for a few hours but it was always extremely painful and I felt as if I would never recover from such a thing. It hurt too much if I was conscious I would sob. This was worse than the cruciatus curse, and I did it willingly! As the days went on I felt myself slip away and soon I feared I would never return. I was in pain, yet I let dead. Shouldn't I be numb then? No such luck unfortunately. I was barely hanging on and it would be so much less painful to just let go."Bes, it's been a week since he finished wake up." I could hear Bekim plea, but it didn't matter he didn't know my pain.

"Don't you even think about it Duchaine." I was confused I knew that was Draco's voice, but I also knew he wasn't here. "No woman I love of going to just ravish me and leave to die." I smirked and wished I could see him, hold him, but I knew that was impossible. No matter how much I wanted it to be true. And then I could.

"Draco."

"Go back Duachaine." He spat, I could feel y questioning glare. Then I could see him he looked dashing as ever, in his dress robes and then I looked down and saw my dress from that day. "Then isn't good Duchaine you're hallucinating now."

"Draco."

"Bes. Go back so I can find you once more, so I can be with you once more." He then approached me and kissed me lightly and then he was replaced by a bright light above me. I gasped feeling like I was lacking air. I was burning. I was in pain. I wanted to scream but my throat was too dry to produce a noise.

"Doctor!" I heard Bekim yell. Suddenly Corwick was there pulling out a small flask from his lab coat pocket. He leaned over me lifted me up, his touch was searing it felt as if my skin was peeling off in huge sections. I then swallowed what was in the flask and it was all gone. I felt it cool and cam as it made its way through my system.

"Glad to see you're awake kid." I smirked and looked at him and merely nodded too weak to speak. Then I looked out the window of the room I was in and into the rising sun over the water, and I wondered if Draco knew he had saved me from myself.
