Going back and Death

Iwent down stairs and sat on the couch. Everyone was stealing glances at me. Do you think I care? Stare at me for all I care. I pulled out Jayden's letter. My eyes widened when it crossed the last paragraph. If they are watching the street then they are watching the others. Darren, oh my gosh, they might have killed him. I stood up and stormed upstairs, grabbed my cloak and ran to the front door.

Can fate cut me a break, for once? Tonks was reading in the entrance hall. She saw me with my cloak and her eyebrow rose in question.

"Just let me go, please," I pleaded.

"Depends on where you plan to go."

"I have to check up on something."

"Still haven't answered my question have you?"

"Get out of my way!" I hit myself for yelling. Now everyone was in the entrance hall.

"What's going on?" Remus asked.

"We have ourselves a runaway," Tonks stated.

"Elenza?" Remus asked wanting to hear both sides, as always.

"I have to."

"You said you wouldn't go without permission."

"Actually, you said 'no more.' I didn't respond," I heard the gasps and sensed the glares but, my eyes were on Remus, "Look in normal cases I wouldn't go without permission but, I have to. I can't let him be caught then killed."

"Who is it now?" Harry asked.

"My friend. My neighbor. He is as close as a brother and I won't allow him to be taken. He is defenseless!"

"Didn't Jayden warn you not to go back at all costs?"

"Remus, he is a muggle. If I get caught then oh well. I won't come back if that is your wish."

"I'll go with you. If we find nothing, we come back and no more foolish ideas, okay?"

I nodded and then ran up gave him a hug and we left. We walked for about an hour until we came to the street. Let me clarify when I say 'street' I mean just that. No smoke from chimneys, no cars on the street, no children playing, no noise but the wind. It was just a street.

We walked up to a forest green house and quickly stepped in. We saw people walking around a gray house, my house. Thanks for the warning Jayden. I walked up the stairs and into a room. I went in the closet and opened a door, hidden by a clothes rack. I was immediately tackled to the floor by a tall, brunette, 18 year old. He held a knife to my throat before he realized who I was. Then he dropped the knife and hugged me.

"I thought you were dead!"

"I'm alive and as well as can be expected. Come on we have to get out of here. No, I will explain later."

We came downstairs and I raised a questioning eyebrow at Remus's worried expression. He shook his head and motioned to the back kitchen where he made Darren hold tight to his arm and we apparated outside the Grimmauld house. Darren looked dizzy so I put his arm around me and we walked inside. I lead him to the kitchen where he sat down.

"You know that I'm a witch. The people outside are called Death Eaters. They follow a dude named Voldemort, who is now in control. Jayden, just happens to be Voldemort's daughter. So now we are stuck here."

He shook his head to clear his thoughts and smiled at me. I sat next to him as Remus called the others downstairs. Remus paced and then said, "Everyone needs to grab their stuff, only necessitates immediately!"

"What happened, Moony?" Sirius asked.

"I over heard Death Eaters as they passed. They are now searching for houses with magical protection. It's no longer safe. We need to leave quickly!"

"Exactly where are we supposed to go?" Ron asked.

"Weasel, how about you just do what you're told for once instead of questioning irrelevant things?" I stood up clenching my fists.

"Where we are going isn't irrelevant!" Ron yelled back, now standing a foot away from me.

"It will be if they catch us here. Now, step back unless you want a repeat of yesterday."

"If you were a witch then I would have beaten you, in a wizarding duel."

My wand was now pointed at his throat, "Want to test that out?"

Remus and Sirius came in between us. Like I said someone would have been dead, namely a little red headed weasel, if it were not for them. With a look from Sirius, Ron stormed upstairs.

Remus glared, "You weren't helping. No, not another word until we are safely out of here; now, go get your stuff take Darren with you and get him some clothes and food."

I bit my tongue, not advisable, it tends to hurt, and I brought Darren up to my room. I threw a duffle bag at him and pointed at an old wardrobe that had some guy's clothes in it, I think it belonged to Regulus. He put some clothes in the bag and then looked at me.

"I know you're not supposed to talk but, what in the abyss just happened?"

I laughed and shook my head, "I'll explain later. We need to go. I don't want to see Jayden that bad, yet."

We gabbed our bags and headed downstairs. Tonks came in and put more charms on the front door.

"They're out there. Out the back, quickly."

We ran out side and climbed the fence. We all ran into the forest that lay beyond. I heard screaming and people climbing over the metal fence. By the sounds they were gaining. I felt someone throw me into the under brush. Darren fell beside me. The curses flew overhead as the 'adults' fought. I heard the cracks of people apparating. I'm guessing they were our adults because I heard the Death Eaters talking.

"This one's dead," I heard on say.

"The others got away. At least we are sure that some of the prime rebels are still alive."

"You say that as if it's a good thing."

"No, I meant that at least we know for sure and we know the faces of the rebels."

"Well, they're on the run now. Let's go."

I heard the 'cracks' of the Death Eaters apparating. Everyone and everything was silent for five minutes. I quietly climbed out and into the clearing. I gasped, there lay the corpse of Mrs. Weasley. I saw Ginny kneeling beside her mother, crying, Ron was holding her shaking form. My heart went out to them, yes, it went out to the Weasel too. I knew the pain they were dealing with.

Cracks we heard and I turned, wand raised, to see Tonks, Sirius, Bill and Remus arrive. I lowered my wand and Darren slowly put his knife away. Bill had tears in his eyes as he quickly dug a grave for the deceased. We stood silent for a moment and then we left. We all knew we couldn't waste time. We walked for hours until we stopped for a break. I heard Darren ask, "What forest are we in anyways?"

"Sherok, why?" Sirius responded.

I looked at Darren and smirked, "We know a place we can stop at."
