Chapter Fifteen:

"Oh my god." I whispered, my heart was racing as I stood frozen in place. Terror was running through my veins as I stared at the stain of blood on our nice carpet.

I fell to my knees and swept my hand over the red blot. It was still wet...this must've happened not that long ago.

I felt tears stinging the sides of my eyes as I stood up, bracing myself for what was to come.

Questions were flooding through my mind as I tried to stay calm. Were Abbey and Anais still alive? Were they hurt? Was this a joke? Who could do this to me?

I paused before opening the door to Abbey's room. My hand flew to my mouth as I stifled a scream. Abbey was laying on the ground with a puddle of blood around her waist. She looked extremely pale.

Tears cascaded down my cheeks as I ran to my best friend, cradling her in my arms. She moaned softly as I sobbed into her shoulder.

"Abbey, don't leave me." I cried as I felt her touch my cheek. She was still alive, but just barely. I pulled my wand out of my pocket and apparated us both to St. Mungos.

A moment later I saw people all around us, healers, nurses, patients, friends, family.

No one was paying attention to the fact that Abbey was dying in my arms. I still had no idea if Anais was okay.

I screamed.

I felt dizzy as tears blurred my vision.

"SOMEONE HELP ME...someone help her..." I cried, wishing desperately for some help.

"Hey! Hey we need a healer over here. There's a woman who needs help!" I heard a man scream from somewhere behind me. Abbey was being picked up out of my grasp and I was pulled away from her. I reached for Abbey's hand but whoever was pulling me away pushed me into a chair.

"Eat this." Something hard was being pushed into my mouth. Chocolate, ick.

"I have to go..my friend..." I muttered incoherently, still in shock.

"She'll be okay. We need to make sure you are alright." The man said, I think he was a healer but I couldn't really tell.

"No, not her. My other friend...she might be in trouble.." I flicked my wand and in an instant I was gone from St. Mungos. Abbey was in good hands, but Anais, I had a feeling, was not.

I saw my apartment all over again and I ran into Anais' room, nothing there. My room was the only other place to check. I slammed open the door and to find no one in there. Damn it.

"NESE!" I screamed, wishing she would just pop out from behind the door and everything would be okay.

"Nesie..."I whispered, dissolving into sobs and falling onto the carpet. Why would someone do this to us? We never hurt anyone...I rocked back and forth on the carpet in pain, sadness and frustration.

I realized I needed help to find Anais. Everyone needed to be notified immediately. I apparated once more into James' flat, not caring who saw me in the state I was in. Likely, James was still annoyed with me from this morning.

I looked around through my bloodshot eyes and realized I was in Sirius' room. I crawled to the door, not having enough strength to stand and opened it a crack.

There they were, the three of them, sitting and playing exploding snap. Not a care in the world...that wouldn't last for long.

Suddenly I felt sick and I bent over, clutching to the floor. I felt like if I let go I would fall...it was a horrible feeling. I sobbed into the carpet, pleading for the pain to stop. I began pulling open the door to get to the Marauders for help.

"Make it stop..." I cried out loudly and I believe I caught the boy's attention. I saw them out of the corner of my eye look up towards Sirius' room. Unfortunately I hadn't gotten the door open all the way, so they couldn't see me.

As soon as the pain began, it stopped. I got on my knees and slammed open Sirius' door, claiming the attention of all three.

"Lily!" Remus exclaimed and James was by my side immediately.

"It hurts..." I sobbed as James pulled me into a tight embrace.

"She's gone...I can't find her. I tried, I tried, James....St. Mungos.." I mumbled to James as he rubbed my back.

Tears were still flooding down my cheeks as I saw Remus and Sirius on the other side of me looking worried. Well of course, when I cry everyone should worry, I don't cry for nothing you know.

"What, baby?" James asked softly as I stopped choking on my tears.

"Abbey...St. Mungos...the flat is trashed...can't find...Nese..." I stumbled over the words but I think they got the gist of it.

"What happened?!" Sirius exclaimed and I winced at the loud outburst.

"Abbey's at St. Mungos." I said quietly and Sirius was watching me intently, waiting to hear what had happened to his girlfriend.

"Is she okay?" Remus asked and I bit my lip and shrugged. Truthfully, I didn't know if Abbey would make it...she lost a lot of blood.

"I...I apparated home and...everything w-was trashed, so I called out their names...and-and they didn't answer. So I freaked out...an-and i went into A..Abbey's r-room-" I stopped here, where the sobs started up again. "Sh-she had-d b-b-blood all over h-her. I took her to St. M-Mungos.." I finished finally and the boys all looked horrorstricken, much like me.

"I have to go see her." Sirius said, disapparating with a pop. James and Remus were watching me with intent eyes.

"I'm so scared." I whispered as James pulled me closer to him.

Then I remembered why I had come.

"No! We have to go! Anais is missing! I couldn't find her!" I exclaimed, jumping to my feet and then falling back down from my loss of strength.

"You, are not going anywhere." James said sternly and then turned to Remus.

"Go tell Dumbledore and take him to Lily's flat. See what you can find, I'm going to stay with Lily." James told him and Remus nodded disapparating. James turned back to me, as I was still laying on the floor.

"Come here." He pulled me into his arms and then set me on the couch. He went into their kitchen for a minute and then came out with some milk and chocolate.

He handed me the chocolate and I shook my head.

"I've already had some." I told him and he didn't seem fazed.

"Eat." He ordered me and I obeyed, swallowing the bar of chocolate. Warmth spread from my head to my toes, but I still didn't feel much better.

"Drink." He ordered me again, putting the cup to my lips. I swallowed some and then put the cup down on the table.

"What's happening?" I asked outloud and James looked over at me with saddened eyes.

"Let's not talk about that right now." He whispered.

"Sleep." He said and once more I obeyed. The last thing I remember was James giving me a kiss on the forehead and telling me he loved me. And, I thought, that's the way it should be.
