chapter 5

(A/N- hi again! tomorrow's marching band! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! band geeks rock! anyway, here's the next chapter!)

As those foul people left Azkaban, Sirius crawled over to Mary. She had a pulse and was breathing, but only a little. He knew she was almost dead and time itself would not heal her. This was the day that they needed to get out of there.
"Tonight, we're getting out of this place no matter what," Sirius thought to himself. "I'm just worried. That water is freezing and what if Mary doesn't make it? But if she stays here, she'll definately die. We're not going to stay here and rot in this hell."

Mary woke up a few hours later. Sirius bent over her and whispered, "We have to leave tonight." She nodded very weakly and managed to whisper very quietly, "Alright. I can manage." Sirius grabbed her in a tight hug and said quietly, "I love you Mary." "I love you too Sirius," she replied quietly before drifting back off to sleep.
Sirius awoke her an hour later, 15 minutes before dinner (if you could call it that) was slipped through the door, and told her to transform, and he did also. There were now two large black dogs lying next to each other on the floor.
Sure enough, about 15 minutes later, a dementor glided up to the door and opened the door. The dog form of Sirius grabbed the unconscious dog form of Mary by the scruff of her neck and dragged her out the door. They had finally escaped that hell that had imprisoned them for all those years. Sirius slipped into the icy cold water and Mary cringed, but stayed asleep.

The journey to the mainland was pretty smooth. The water became considerably warmer as they got closer to shore. But when Sirius turned around to check on Mary, he found her shivering madly. "Oh no," he thought, "Please don't die on me, Mary." He prayed silently. Then, as by some miracle, Mary stopped shaking and slept peacefully. They finally reached the shore. Sirius dragged Mary over to a nearby tree and collapsed with exhaustion. (A/N- hope ya liked it! holy crap it's only 9:15 pm! i'm writing the next chappie tonight!)
