Chapter Five, Rescue
"Kingsley and some Auror's are already at the warehouse slowly adding an anti apperating charm so Albus can't escape and a ward that'll stop Albus and Ron can't use magic and one where the vampires are frozen in place." Lucius told them after he and Sirius had finished talking to Kingsley. "If they do it too quickly Albus could sense it and have the vampires kill Artemis." He told the tense group standing in the forest waiting for the signal. They only had to wait five minutes before a green spark was shot up into the air. "There it is lets go." said Sirius agitated wand at the ready as he ran for the warehouse the others following though the vampires soon over took them.
Soon they joined up with Kingsley, Amelia and the Aurors as they entered the warehouse the vampire immediately gathering Albus and Ron disarming them and tying them up as Kingsley and Amelia placed magical cuffs to both of them a chain appearing joining the two of them together and chaining them to floor. "Your too late." Albus smirked not deterred in the slightest just as a heart wrenching, ear piercing scream came from the left of them. "ARTEMIS!" Sirius shouted scared for his daughter and what the two vampires were doing to her. "WHAT DID YOU DO! TELL ME!" Sirius roared as another scream wrenched the air growling Jasper tore into the room Emmett and Edward behind him. Having enough of the old man Sirius punched him in the jaw knocking him out and then Ron who was laughing at Artemis's screams.
Amelia and Kingsley and a few Aurors stayed with Ron and Albus while the rest ran into the room seeing Jasper, Edward and Emmett fighting the two vamps Alice and Rosalie ran to help their mates though they didn't need it as they were winning with Jasper's newborn fighting skills but you never know. While Carlisle ran over to Artemis who was no longer tied to the chair but laying on the floor barely conscious, she had a small head wound that looked superficial but her right arm and right leg were broken at least in two places, you could almost see the bone in her leg and the words carved into her arm thanks to Bellatrix were re-opened and her breathing was laboured.
Her family froze in the door way and promptly vomited on the floor at the state of her before wiping their mouths and getting to work. Lucius cast two dark curses when he had a clear shot beheading both James and Victoria as they were slowly staring to gain the upper hand by working as a team, while Severus and Draco ran over to Artemis healing her wounds to stop preventing anymore blood loss and pouring potions down her throat in quick succession including her medicine, one to prevent her losing the baby who's heart beat was as slow as Artemis, one for nerve damage and one for blood loss. Sitting back exhausted they couldn't do anymore for as anymore potions could do more harm then good at the moment.
Looking up they saw that the two vampires were dead and were being burned by fiend fyre after the charm had been taken off of them. The fire was being controlled by Sirius and Lucius while the Aurors, Fred and George were holding a ward in place so the fire wouldn't spread. Once there was nothing left not even ashes Sirius and Lucius dropped the spell while the others dropped the ward exhausted. "How is she?" Sirius asked panicked seeing his daughter unconscious on the floor as he ran over. "Not good." Severus replied hesitantly as he wrapped her arms and leg in a bandage for wrapping her right arm and right leg in a splint, though he'd healed the wounds some blood still came through the bandage on her left arm though it was a cursed wound to begin with. "She's lucky she's mated to Jasper as they haven't taken any blood from her, they haven't attacked her stomach either but there is some bruising there and on her wrists due to the rope. Though if we'd arrived a second later both Artemis and Cassie would be dead, their heartbeats are incredibly slow I've given her her medicine and a potion to prevent miscarriage, blood loss and nerve damage and brain damage from all the pain she went through.
The head would is from her falling off the chair, her wound from Bellatrix has been reopened and both her right arm and leg are broken badly almost sticking out the skin. I've reset the breaks and healed the wounds so she's not at risk of dying from blood loss but she's not out of the woods yet. She could still lose Cassie and she could still die if her heart doesn't register her medication and gives out." Severus explained tiredly washing both his and Draco's hands off though Draco continued to stare at his hands that were previously covered in his sisters blood.
The atmosphere was silent and heavy after Severus revelation as Sirius sat on the floor with Artemis's head in his lap and Jasper coveted in dirt and dust gently holding her hand. "I've found two bodies in the corner they look like Molly and Ginny's but I need you to identify them Fred, George." Seamus said hesitantly his own eyes filled with tears at the sight of his friend his sister. She was always so strong during the war and he hated seeing her like this. Reluctantly drawing their eyes away from Artemis Fred and George followed Seamus and Dean to the bodies of their once mother and sister.
Their bodies had been drained of blood their necks almost ripped out but they looked at them not with sadness but anger and detachment how could they do this to Artemis the most kindest person you'll ever meet. "Yeah it's them." Fred answered before he and George went back to the others seeing Sirius angry face wand drawn as he stormed out of the room. "Where's Sirius going?" asked George.
"Going to make sure Albus and Ronald can never hurt Artemis again." Lucius replied nochantly with a shrug of his shoulders. "I know he's your brother-"
"He's not our brother not anymore." Fred interrupted. "No matter if they're in prison with their magic bound they'll not stop until Artemis is dead there's only one thing that'll stop them for good. They nearly killed Artemis and Cassie they still might prison is too good for them." George continued.
Not ten minutes later Sirius walked in with Kingsley, Amelia and the rest of the Aurors. "Kingsley and I sentenced them to death. After questioning them under Veritaserum once they came around we felt it was the only option open to us. They murdered a good number of Aurors when breaking Molly and Ginny out. Not only that Albus is responsible for hundreds of murders in the first war including my family, James and Lily Potter and number of others. He's responsible for Sirius's false imprisonment for twelve years as he knew Pettigrew was the traitor. Paying the Dursleys to abuse Artemis, a number of deaths in the second war and almost murder on Artemis and her daughter. That's not including what else they've done to Artemis over the years.
Misters Weasley I'm sorry for yours, your brothers and Arthur's loss I know today you lost a mother, a sister and a brother but this was the only option open to us." Amelia said graciously she didn't regret her decision but it was polite to the family to other her condolences. "We lost them years ago when they decided to do what they did. We may still yet lose a sister and our niece but thank you Madame Bones." Fred and George said accepting her and the Ministry's condolences. "We need to get her home where Andy and I can keep a close eye on her she's not out of the woods yet and she's only in danger the longer she stats here." Severus interrupted. "Sirius Andy and I can set up wards and charms to monitor her closely better than any muggle hospital and we'll have trouble explaining all that's happened to her and it'll draw unwanted attention. We need to go now."
"Very well." Kingsley spoke solemnly as the Minister of Magic he always cared a great deal about Artemis since he met her before her fifteenth birthday. "Here this should get you back I've already contacted Bill Weasley to help you set up the Wards Sirius he should be there when we arrive. Amelia and I and the Aurors will clean up here and meet you back at yours Sirius."
"Thank you old friend." Sirius said gratefully his voice hoarse from all the crying sending his Patronus head to let Arthur, Andy and Esme know what has happened he picked up Artemis as gently as he could as he and the other wizards held the Portkey transporting them home while the vampires ran ahead.
"Sirius quickly place her on her bed." Andy said hurriedly as she helped her cousin to her feet and hurried him up the stairs Severus behind him. Sirius placed her as gently as he could on the bed his heart ripping to pieces at her pain filled whimper. "It's alright Arte your safe everything's going to be alright." Sirius soothed running his hand through her hair as Andy and Severus worked rapidly to stabilise her and Cassie as Artemis's magic was trying to stabilise her which only exhausted her further. Ten minutes later they stepped back from the bed exhausted as she was finally stabilised and in a magical come so she could heal, now all they had to do was wait.
