The Death eater was full of hatred. This boy had fought with his master, made the girl who had defeated him stronger. No, she hadn't defeated him, she had won a battle. But the war was definitely not over. He would make sure about that. He had watched the young couple throughout the night. Seen their emotions in their eyes. He knew the girl was stronger than the boy magic wise. But without him she would tumble and fall.
That was why he had a lethal potion in his hand. He would avenge his master's fall. He would make this girl fall. Fall so far that she would never be able to get back up. With these thoughts the Death eater placed the cloth over Li's face and Held it there.
The boy woke instantly but he just held the cloth down firmer. The young boy's weak arms were nothing to match the strength insanity can give you. Slowly the drugs began to take affect. And the boy's muffled attempts to call for help were forced into his mind as his body shut down. Then forced even deeper, where they were greeted with not only green but pink magic glowing.
Sakura was nervous. It seemed the whole hall was staring at her. She quickly lost her appetite. But as the minutes swept by the eyes found different targets, and the low voices talked about different things. She slowly relaxed. But something kept her tense; one hand was constantly touching her star wand. No matter where she looked and no matter what she saw something wasn't right.
"Are you okay Miss?" Asked a giant man, making Sakura jump. She was seated with the teachers, to the right of the headmaster.
"Didn' mean to scare yeh. Sorry, Names Rubeus Hagrid. But call me Hagrid, everyone does."
"Sakura Avalon." The brunette replied, still fiddling with her necklace.
"What's wrong, yer look nervous." Sakura smiled at him, unaware that most of the other teachers were listening in on their conversation.
"I'm sure it's nothing. I just feel like something is going to happen, I-" But the young girl faltered and her face became deathly pale.
"Miss Avalon?" Dumbledore asked as the great hall fell into silence, everyone's eyes on the girl.
"No...Li..." She whispered before bring out her necklace. It transformed into her pink staff instantly and she pulled out a card.
"SHIELD!" Something pink went flying out of the hall from the card. The students gaped at the girl as she stood up. "DASH!" A small animal came out of this card then went into her. Pink flashed through her body then she turned and ran. She became a blur as she ran out of the hall and left the entire school speechless.
As the Death eater watched he could practically see the life draining out of the boy. He was steadily becoming paler and he no longer moved.
Suddenly a pink shield appeared around the boy, knocking the Death eater backwards. The cloth fell away from the boy. He stared at it then realized what it meant.
"No, NO!" He launched himself at the pink see through wall but it was as hard as rock. He span round to escape only to be confronted by the young girl he had seen the boy with all night. His anger grew but so did his fear. If this girl could knock his master to the floor, what could she do to him?
"Did you do it?" She asked. Her calmness shocked the Death eater. But his silence was a big mistake. "Did you try to kill him?" She suddenly screamed. Her eyes glinted with hatred and her breathing became unstable. She took a step forward and the Death eater found himself stepping back wards. Somehow, he found the confidence to talk back to this slip of a girl that so intimidating.
"Try? I have killed him! There's no way he can wake up now!" He sneered. Sakura's eyes flashed with anger and the Death eater realized his mistake.
"First you bring us here, in a world where we don't belong, and then you almost kill him when he was protecting me. Now, when he had just gotten better, you try to kill him again. Do you think I am going to sit back and let you?"
"You weren't supposed to come back so early. If you hadn't, he could have died quickly and painlessly, well not painlessly. I wasn't going to let your friend die like that, he did help you temporarily defeat my master."
"But why him?" Tears were in Sakura's eyes, she could feel the little life force that was left in Li. The Death eater in front of her laughed.
"I watched you all last night, you may not know it but the boy loves you. And you love him. What better way of crushing you than killing the one you love?" Sakura gasped, Li loved her? She didn't think he had felt that way about her.
Sakura's thoughts distracted her and she didn't see the Death eater getting out his wand.
"Crucio!" It was pain beyond anything Sakura had experienced before. The pain was so intense, all consuming. White hot knives were piercing her skin and it felt like her very bones were on fire. And then it was gone. Sakura was shaking and her breathing was coming in sharp, uncontrolled pants.
"A dose of the pain you put me through when you made my master fall." The Death eater suddenly grinned. "A fraction of the pain your friend just went through when he died." Anger swept through Sakura like never before in her life. If this man in front of her was telling the truth, then Li had just been killed. And that hurt more than any pain the man had given her.
"But you're going to go through a lot more pain before I allow you to go to the oblivion of death, or maybe I won't let you go at all. Torture can last for years you know. And I'm sure my master would like to meet you."
He raised his wand but Sakura was ready.
"Mirror!" Out of the card erupted a mirror image of the young girl. The Death eater just smirked.
"You expect to beat me with two of you? Ha!" Sakura frowned but didn't reply. She threw another card into the air.
"Light!"
The Death eater was blinded as pure white light filled his vision. It only lasted a few seconds but it took a few minutes afterwards for his eyesight to return to normal. Why hasn't she attacked me? I'm vulnerable and I can't see her coming. But when his vision finally returned to him he got the shock of his life.
He was surrounded by the little girl. Or rather, little girls. Everywhere he looked stood a brunette, the exact same as the ones around her.
"You expect to beat me with all of us?" A voice called out. The Death eater grinned, she had just given herself away. But as he turned all the girls around him began repeating the sentence over and over, so much that he couldn't remember where he had heard the first voice.
"Fine!" He roared, making the girls fall silent." I'll just kill you all!" He turned to the nearest girl and aimed.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" The green spell hit the girl in her chest and she exploded into little pieces. Then other little girls exploded around him. It was a chain reaction and again he had his eyesight taken from him. When his vision returned one little girl remained. The Death eater grinned.
"Nice trick but it was foolish to think that it could save you." Sakura just remained silent. "And now for the real test...Imperio!"
Sakura felt a floating sensation remove every thought and worry in her head, leaving nothing but a vague, untraceable happiness. She stood there, quite relaxed only just aware that the Death eater was walking towards her.
And then she heard his voice, echoing in her head: Use your magic, kill the boy.
Sakura turned to the bed where an almost familiar figure lay.
Use your magic, erase the boy's life.
Sakura obediently brought out the erase card. Throwing it in the air she called upon the power inside of her.
"Erase!" Out of the card rose the clown figure she had used at the end of the fight with his master. But instead of spreading out it's tendrils it just floated in the air.
Erase the boy's life! The voice came into her head again but Sakura was only half listening. Something was wrong, if one of her cards wasn't obeying her.
Use your magic! Erase the boy's life! Sakura nodded and stepped towards the floating figure of the card.
"Erase, do as I ask. Erase this boy's life." The figure bowed it's head slightly and turned toward Li's bed. Slowly, a single tendril spread towards the brunette boy. The Death eater began to laugh as the tendril touched the boy's head. Sakura watched from her haven of emotionless floating.
"WHAT is going on here?" A voice suddenly cried out, breaking Sakura out of her trance. Taking the scene in she gasped.
"Erase, NO!" The card's spirit immediately returned to it's card form. Sakura ran to Li's side as Madam Pomfrey brought out her wand.
"STUPEFY!" The spell hit the Death eater in the chest and the man froze in place just as Dumbledore walked into the hospital wing followed by several other teachers. They all took the scene in and the headmaster stepped towards the young sorceress but stopped.
Sakura buried her head on Li's chest and cried. His skin was deathly pale and he seemed to no longer breathe. Pools of the young girls tears formed on his clothes but it made no difference.
"Li...what have I done?"
A/N – I know I seem to be hurting Li a lot but it comes together in the end. Please forgive me! Please review and tell me what you think, and maybe some suggestions about what you think should happen. Stay tuned folks!
