Severus paced Dumbledore's office what seemed like eternity. He was going through so many emotions and thoughts. Slow down to actually set his mind at ease a bit. She is still alive I can feel it but in danger. I wish I wouldn't of let her leave like that in Hogsmeade. Then again she would of done it anyway. Her stubborness was showing through she always knew to hide that fact she was a Malfoy. In all these years she never acted like one of them even while attending school here. I fell in love with her for that and for the fact she was the only person who really understands me. Damn Lucius for all he is done or is doing at this moment. He was interuppted by Albus's appearance in the office.

"We have no news yet son. Still looking and searching for any evidence,"

"I will go down to my chambers to get rest I need it if I want some strength for tomorrow's search."

"Very well if there is any new developments I will wake you."

"Thank you Albus she means everything to me and the children on the way."

"Yes and your welcome Severus." he headed down to his office to refelct on some things and to catch some sleep.

Rianna watched in shock when Voldemort took Lucius and flew him across the room. He was torturing him like he did years ago to her. She closed her eyes after seeing him take the knife and cut his arm open.

"Now you know how it feels to bleed like her and to be hit repeatly. You never harmed her you tell me. I saw you attack her one night after a meeting years ago. Why do you think I let her go to be free from you! I am not stupid Lucius you know I will find you wherever you hide. Rianna does not need to involved in your affairs. You lie to me saying you feld the country to Italy to be safe. Who you safe from now?"

"No one sir." Lucius was actually forming tears in his eyes "Please forgive me master. I will let her go back to that damn greasy old git of husband." he smirked after that

"One I do not believe you. Two you think that if you let her go this will not happen again your wrong. I read your mind and you will kill her once I turn my back. Don't underestimate me you should know this!" "Stubefy!" he frooze him and took him into his arms with his back towards him a slit his throat with his own knife.

Only when Rianna opened her eyes dis she see Lucius was now lying on the floor dead. She had been freed of her shackles. Looking into his eyes she saw the eyes of Tom Riddle not those of Voldemort. "Thank you for saving my life and my children's" he hesitated at her words.

"Please leave now before I change my mind. I will take care of returning him back to Malfoy Manor. I will make it look like he took his own life." he looked her in the eyes "I still love you but I know I will never love you the way you need to be." only then she realized it was Tom talking.

"I know there is a part of me that still loves you too. I need to leave before anything else happens. Again thank you." leaving through the door and quickly ran outside and opened the portkey back to their chambers.

When Severus went back up to change his clothing in their living quarters. He heard a sound and ran into the room to find Rianna collapased on the floor. When he got closer to her he realized she was covered in blood. Quickly he picked he up with all his strength and carried her into the hospital wing. "Can you hear me Rianna? I don't want to lose you. I love you!" she let a sound. He knew in his heart she would make it.

A/N I know it is a bit short but I had to post at least this part. Only two more chapters left. Again thank you for all the reviews.
