The four girls aperatted to a road near their base. They worked for a group that helped to save all the muggles on the run. Though it was a very dangerous job they needed to help all the innocent people.
"Antila,Lacerta,Ara, how bad is she?" Asked the tallest girl. Her robes had the name Lyra embroidered into them. They were running to their base to help Scorpia. "Do we know her name?" asked Lyra who was also holding Scorpia. "Scorpia Barnes, eleven." said the girl named Lacerta.
"She looks pretty bad Lyra, I don't know." said Antila.
"We're almost there, I think we can help her." Ara said nervously.
"The bottom of her eye looks pretty bad.I don't know." Says Antila.
Soon they arrived in the house they used for a base.
"Get the supplies we only have sometime." said Lyra
They all rushed around. Scorpia started to stir a bit only enough to let out a weak squeak of fear.
"Don't worry we are going to help you." Ara said.
Scorpia let out a small groan.
""Poor girl. She's so young."
"Youngest we've had so far." said Ara
"Worst to."
Two of the girls had stayed to comfort Scorpia. The others returned with a bag of potions.
They wiped the bottom of her eye. It would not stop bleeding. Finally it slowed to reveal a word for a quick second. The word was forbidden and horrid. 'Mudblood' was engraved into her skin.
"Oh my gosh."
"That horrible...who would do that!?"
"Bellatrix Lestrange." growled Lyra.
Now the four worked in silence. No one spoke. Complete silence. Only the faint whimpers of Scorpia were heard.
"Cruciatus curse I believe. Poor thing."
"Bellatrix had a dagger likely the curse was put on it." said Ara.
"Ok we have a patch on her eye. The curse wounds are as good as they'll get bring her to a room." said Lyra who followed behind them.
Every Minute someone sat with her. She was never alone. She would squirm around sometimes. She had Nightmares every hour. It was hard to watch. So scared and young.
A day later
"Guys she's awake!!" Lacerta said loudly enough but not too loud.
"Whe...re am I, what happ...ened 'gasp' plea...se don't hu...rt me.
"Don't worry we are going to help." Lacerta assured.
"Ple..ase.. I di..dn't.. do a..ny..thing." Scorpia stuttered
"Relax,I'm Lyra, we are going to help you."
The girls had introduced themselves.
"Lacerta"
"Antila"
"Ara"
"You're Scorpia Barnes,Right? " asked Antila.
"Yes,but if you're trying to save me it won't work. It's too dangerous. The death eaters will find us. Just let me run, save yourselves."
"No, we're going to help you. We work for a group that saves muggleborns on the run." Explains Ara.
"Please I'll be alright there are others that will not be so dangerous. "
"No we will help you, you are not a lost cause. " piped Lacerta.
"Scorp, mind if I call that. Would You like some food you haven't eaten since you've arrived?" asked Lyra.
"No you need it more."
"Scorp,you need to eat, can you walk?" asked Antila
"Yes I can walk." she responded stubbornly. She felt offended that she was questioned on her strength.
The girls pulled the covers off Scorpia's minorly scratched legs. She stood up with help but when they let go she fell straight on the floor.
"Ow!I'm ok, it's fine."
Finally she made it downstairs to the table. They ate in silence to absorbed in their meals to talk.
"Scorp, let's go and clean your eyes up."suggested Antila.
"I'm fine."
"Please come Scorpia."
"Alright."
Once in the bathroom Antila gently pulled the patch off of her eye. Scorpia winced and looked in the mirror. What she saw made her gasp. Then she started to sob. She had not yet seen what Bellatrix had done to her.
"Hey, it's all ok it's over she's not going to hurt you."Antila reassured
"Mudblood. That's what I am."
"No, you are most certainly not. You are a brave girl."
"This only proves the truth."said Scorpia.
"No, you are not and I will not let you think that."
And with that they proceeded with the cleaning.
The next few days were normal. They joked Scorpia became less stubborn and accepted the help offered. She wasn't fully healed. The scar under her eye had faded to a scratch. They used muggle makeup to cover it even though it hurt. Though no one said it they all thought the same thing "This will never fade. "
They were all outside in the yard playing around.
"Tag!"exclaimed Lacerta. As she tapped Lyra on the shoulder.
Lyra ran in pursuit of Scorpia when suddenly the human form running from Lyra shifted into the form of a black mare!
"Oh my gosh! Scorpia are you an animagus?"exclaimed Antila.
The mare turned revealing a white star on her forehead and her head bobbing up and down to state "yes". Scorpia was taught many advanced defense methods having been a muggleborn. They all asked Scorpia questions when they heard the wind rush. They saw dark clouds circling them.Death eaters.
"Uhh guys did anyone put the protective spells back on?"Asked Lacerta.
"Run, keep Scorpia safe!" yelled Ara.
Scorpia had shifted back into the form of a human again.
"No I'm fine!"
"I know these woods hide!" Scorpia lied.
"We will not leave you! "Yelled Antila.
