CHAPTER 12

Justice, Truth, Forgiveness

"Hey, BV, you know that place where Muggles go ice skating?" Lauren said ecstatically as she got out of the taxi cab.

"Rockefeller Center?" BV asked.

"Yeah there! Wanna go ice skating?" Lauren asked very abnormally perky.

"Sure, but what's wrong with you?" BV asked worried.

Lauren looked at her puzzled and then said, "The case of course! We've got her now, Stacey is as good as convicted. She'll finally be punished for her sins!"

"Oh, alright, but let's get changed first!" BV suggested.

"Alright... BV!" Lauren screamed as BV ran for the stairs and began to sprint up them. BV opened the door and ran to meet the elevator at the seventh floor. "Damn your fast!" Lauren exclaimed stepping off the elevator.

BV smiled and said, "I love skating at Rockefeller! It's my favorite place in the city especially at Christmas time!" Lauren smiled almost benevolently as she opened the door. BV flew to her trunk and began to change out of her black skirt and her silky blue blouse that she had borrowed from Andrea before she left. She threw on her blue jeans and her favorite Vincentian Swim team hoodie. She grabbed her skates out of the bottom of her trunk. "COME ON LAUREN!" BV whined.

"Settle down, BV, I'm old!" Lauren joked.

"Come on your not that old!" BV bickered.

Lauren emerged from the bathroom, "Yes I am! I'll be 31 on January 4th!"

"So old!" BV mocked. She looked Lauren over. Lauren was wearing a soft pink sweater with tight black jeans.

"Gloves and Hat, BV?" Lauren asked. BV ran and pulled them out of her coat pocket. She walked back towards Lauren who was adjusting a pink beret in her hair.

"Wonder how long it'll be before Cho realizes I stole it off of her?" Lauren pondered as she readjusted her solid braid down her back. She grabbed her sparkly black gloves and asked, "Ready Kiddo?"

BV grinned, "I'm ready! Let's go!" Lauren smiled and the two ran down seven flights of stairs. The two ran outside and hailed a taxi laughing as hard as ever. When they arrived Lauren walked off to rent skates leaving BV alone to tie her own pair up. BV sat down on a bench soaking in the taste of the city all over again. She pulled up her jeans and began to tie her skates. She finished each one into a satisfactory knot. She stood up and immediately someone knocked into her, knocking her to the ground. BV stood up and angrily shouted at the tall blonde guy, "WELL EXCUSE ME!" The guy turned around and looked at the rage in BV's face and just grinned. Then he winked his crystal blue eyes at her. BV suddenly remembered something............

FLASHBACK

"Your so damn gullible BV, and so damn hot!" Jed said bending over BV's heaving chest. He looked up at her with a pure rabid look upon his face.

"GET OFF OF ME JED!" BV tried to scream, but the silencing charm he placed upon her prevailed. She began to thrash her body everywhere to prevent him from stealing her body. Jed pinned her arms above her head and knelt on her knees. He drew his wand out and BV felt her hand being held down by an invisible force. She thrashed her legs everywhere trying to prevent Jed from gaining control of her body.

"Oh, give it up BV! I've got the upper hand here!" Jed whined almost sickeningly. He pinned her legs with the same spell. He then proceeded to part BV's legs. Then in one moment he stole her innocence. BV cried out in a silenced pain. Tears poured down her face and through her tears she saw his malicious crystal blue eyes stare into her tear filled blue ones.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Oh my god!" BV whispered putting a hand to her mouth, "It's Jed!" BV stood there unable to move. Her body seemed like it couldn't remember how to move. "It can't be!" She whispered to herself. "He lives in California, I'm in New York! No way! It just can't!" Her mind argued, 'it could be, he has money, vacation, BV.' The voice said paranoid.

All of a sudden BV's self argument was interrupted by Lauren's voice, "Ready, BV?"

BV whipped around, "Oh... Yeah... Sure..." BV said apprehensively looking around. She stepped on to the ice very worried and scared but skated as though she was a gold medallist skater preparing for a normal non- competition skate. BV skated around always keeping an eye out for the Jed- Look-A-Like. She couldn't find him after an hour. She had figured he had left, now allowing BV to skate freely and worry free. She turned backwards and started to skate keeping a constant watch over both her shoulder and in front of her. Suddenly a guy came out of nowhere flipping BV over him. He began to laugh as he helped her up.

"My bad, sorry BV." The guy said. BV tried to open her tear filled eyes. The fall had caused her to scratch her back off of the ice. She suddenly saw the blurry figure of Jed Flaraski.

"Get away!" She spat venomously.

Jed smirked, "Do I ever? Man, BV, every time I see you, you just keep getting hotter." He reached out and wiped BV's tears off of her face.

"Get away, Jed!" BV said standing up rather slowly. Jed actually extended his hands to her to help her get off the ice. She rudely and noticeably did not accept them. She skated a bit towards the wall and began to pull herself off the ice. Jed followed her to a nearby bench. "Did you hear me, Jed? LEAVE ME ALONE!" BV yelled at him.

"Never," He whispered sitting down next to her. "Yeah, your still as feisty as the day I rapped you. Still as fiery and yet, I bet you live each day in fear that it'll happen again. Am I right BV?"

Knowing what Jed wanted her to say she said, "No, I live each day for what I want, I don't worry about it."

"Foolish, BV, god damn naive." Jed spat at her. He then spat at her face, "That's all you'll ever be worth! A worthless whore, who couldn't watch out for herself. Some intelligent prefect you were, BV!" Jed taunted. BV didn't retaliate, Jed would have fed off of that. "And that's why you went away, to escape me, cuz your fearful I'll do it again, aren't you, aren't you?" Jed yelled forcefully at her.

"No, you're too scared to get caught again!" BV snapped back unable to hold silent for that comment.

"Wanna Bet, Reinheart, I'll take you again, say I can't? I can and could, but your body was so pathetic that I wouldn't want it again from you. Rivers though...." He said drifting off and closing his eyes drooling at his perverted thoughts.

BV taunted, "Then why are you here bothering me again, if you don't want none of this?" BV said gesturing to her body.

"Wanted to see the fear that I saw that night, you still have it BV, quit lying." Jed said.

"FEAR?" BV snarled, "I am not nor was I ever scared of you, Jed Flaraski!"

"Shut up and be honest BV, you're still cringing in fear." Jed taunted. BV was formulating a plan to get him back. She slowly began to remove her glove.

"Oh, I'm so scared, Jed! Don't hurt me!" BV said in mocking tone of fear.

Before BV could slap him he extended his hand and smacked her full across the face, "Never, mock me. Bridgette, never! You're nothing, my spit is more valuable than you! The dirt I walk on is more valuable than you." He stood up and walked away. BV sat there she placed her bare hand to the place where Jed had slapped her.

"BV!" Lauren cried out stepping off of the ice. "What happened?"

"I wasn't watching and flipped over this dude." BV said pressing upon her marked face.

"Are you alright?" Lauren asked worriedly.

"Fine, it's just my back got a little scratched up." BV said, "Lauren can we go back?"

"Of course, honey, just wait a minute while I get my shoes." Lauren said running off to get her shoes back. BV bent over disregarding the burning sensation in her back. The longer she bent over the more her cuts began to sting unlike anything BV ever experienced. BV sat back up, no way was she going to fight the pain in her back. "Okay... ooh, BV need a hand?" Lauren asked returning.

"Thanks, I guess I cut my back pretty bad, I'm sorry for having to put you through this!" BV apologized.

"No, no, don't worry about it! That jerk should have been watching out too!" Lauren complained.

"Yeah." BV whispered. 'but he was watching out for me.' BV thought remembering Jed's face.

NEXT MORNING

"Hey BV, up and at em kiddo!" Lauren said jumping onto BV's bed.

BV whined, "COME OFF IT LAUREN!"

"Nope, Stacey gets it today! Come on! Out! You gotta get dressed a particular way!" Lauren shouted into BV's ear.

"Fine!" BV groaned rolling onto her back. As soon as her back touched the mattress BV yelped in pain jumping out of bed.

"Ooh, your back!" Lauren said. "Here lift your shirt up, I know a charm that'll cool it a bit." BV followed Lauren's instructions and Lauren muttered the incantation spreading blessed relief over Bridgette's back. "Okay you, now wear dark colors, those black swish-ie pants I like, and a dark red top or something like that. BV ran into the shower and washed her light blonde locks and pulled the sides back. She placed on a dark maroon sweater set. The tee shirt underneath the button down cardigan. She stepped out and Lauren surveyed her. "Good enough Kiddo!" The arrived at the courthouse at 8:45. The media was ready and so was Kevin. The two wrapped themselves around BV and led her into the courthouse. They went into the courtroom and sat for fifteen minuets. The bell tower rang nine as Judge Stevenson entered the courtroom.
The jury entered as the officer called out, "Will the defendant stand." Stacey reluctantly stood next to Jasper.

A tall man from the jury stood up and said, "In the case of the people vs. Stacey Ramsey- Reinheart. On the charge of being a death eater, we the jury find Ms. Ramsey-Reinheart.... guilty. On the charge of attempted assault leading to Miss Bridgette Viktoria Reinheart becoming a minor death eater, we the jury, find Ms. Ramsey-Reinheart..... guilty."

The man sat as the judge spoke, "Since the jury has found the defendant guilty, I sentence the defendant to a life sentence in Azkaban." He banged his gavel. AZKABAN! BV sat there shocked. She thought maybe a short period in Raleigh prison. But Azkaban? Life sentence? BV couldn't believe it. The guards began to drag Stacey away and she called out:

"Bridgette, don't think he won't get you! He'll get you alright, you and that damn child of yours! He'll get Noel and use her for the same purpose your destined for! I swear to almighty god, Bridgette, don't think he won't because he will, if it's the last thing he does, he will!" Stacey cursed. BV stood up and felt dizzy.

"No he won't take Noel Leigh-Anna, I won't let him!" BV whispered before passing out and falling onto the hard marble floor.
