Lucius and I appeared in the basement and he slammed me face first into a wall and pinned me there. I felt him reach into my pocket and remove my wand.

"You will pay for running away," he hissed. "And for allowing those friends of yours to hurt Draco."

"I didn't let them do anything!" I cried. The door to the basement opened.

"Father?" Draco called. "Mother said you were down here." Lucius and I stepped away from the wall together.

"Look what I have brought you Draco," Lucius replied. Draco shut the door and came down the stairs.

"Schyler," he said. He pulled me into his arms and hugged me.

"Draco..." I whispered.

"Oh my luv," he said before kissing me. I closed my eyes. Draco grabbed me by the throat and slammed me into the wall.

"You have no idea how much I am going to hurt you," he snarled.

"I'm..." I couldn't force the word from my mouth. I wasn't sorry. I was glad I had run away. I was glad I had been with my friends. If he was going to kill me tonight then I was not sorry for anything I had done.

"Father, teach me another spell," Draco said. "That one you just taught me isn't painful enough." Lucius joined his son.

"Fine. Try this one." He set the tip of his wand against my right arm. It felt like my arm went numb. I was confused. Wasn't it supposed to hurt? Then, my arm erupted with pain as though he had set the inside of my arm on fire. I screamed.

"This spell will slowly go through her body," Lucius said. "It is horribly painful. But it is very very slow. If you want it spread quicker then put it on another part of her body as well. Draco nodded and touched the tip of his wand to my left arm. I fell to the floor and curled into a ball trying to escape the pain. Draco laughed and continued to use the spell.

An hour later my whole body was in constant pain and I was curled on the floor trying to pretend I was anywhere but here. Draco started throwing every curse he knew at me. Blood splattered the floor and the walls. I sobbed as I was lifted off the floor and slammed into the wall.

"You deserve all of this!" Draco told me as I fell to the floor.

"Please...Draco..." I whimpered. I was covered in my own blood and my clothes were ripped from all the whipping spells he had used. He started using the Bone Breaking spell his father had taught him.

"You will never escape me," he sneered as he stopped once every one of bones, except the ones his father had told him about, were broken. "I will always get you."

"Dra..." I gasped. "Draco..." He slammed his heel into my chest and I felt as though I was going to die right then.

"You shut up," he said. "I don't want to hear you talk. I only want to hear you scream." I tried very hard not to scream. He slammed his heel into my chest again and I screamed.

"Just kill me!" I begged. "Just get it over with!" Draco laughed.

"Oh no," he sneered. "I'm not done with you yet!" The door to the basement banged open.

"I think you are," Becky's voice growled. Draco laughed and kicked me in the face, knocking me out.

"Rivers!" he said with a smirk on his face. "Brustman! Henry! What kept you? I thought you three would have shown up hours ago!" The three of them came down the stairs quickly, aiming their wands at Draco and Lucius who had stepped out of the shadows.

"You have no right to be here," Lucius said. "Draco is punishing his wife. Get out."

"We aren't going anywhere," Heather growled.

"Leave now or I will kill you."

"Avada Kedavra!" Lucius fell to the floor. Draco watched his father fall with no emotion on his face.

"Now to deal with you," Heather said pointing her wand at him.

"No," Mitch said pushing Heather's arm down. "No. I want to deal with him first." Heather nodded, knowing that if Mitch wanted to take on Draco first then nothing would stop him. Mitch walked toward Draco while Becky and Heather knelt down beside me.

"Becky she's not dead...is she?" Heather asked.

"No. I'm not letting her die." Becky started healing my wounds. Heather cleaned a spot on the wall and floor and sat down. She pulled out an apple and started eating it as she watched Mitch hit Draco. He had abandoned his wand in his rage and was now beating the life out of Draco.

"C'mon Schyler wake up," Becky said as she finished healing me. She shook my shoulders. I opened my eyes slowly and looked up at her.

"Becky..." I said.

"Oh thank God." I sat up, wincing because I was still sore.

"Schyler!" Heather cried hugging me lightly enough that it didn't hurt too much. Becky summoned my wand and gave it me.

"Hi Heather," I replied. Draco let out a loud scream and we all turned to Mitch and Draco.

"Hey Mitch!" Becky called. "Schyler's awake!" Mitch stopped and came over to us.

"My turn! My turn!" Heather said jumping up.

"Go ahead," Mitch said to her. Heather walked over to Draco and the beating continued.

"Hi Mitch," I said. Mitch hugged me tightly.

"I'm so glad we got here in time," he said.

"Okay...ow...ow...hug causing major pain here," I said. Mitch let go.

"Sorry." I shrugged and we all watched Heather. I leaned back against the wall and tears began falling from my eyes.

"Schyler," Becky said. "What's wrong?"

"He was going to kill me," I said softly. Mitch knelt beside me and put his hand on my shoulder.

"He won't touch you ever again," he promised. Heather came over.

"Wanna turn Becky?" she asked. Becky was up and hitting Draco before I could even blink. The beating went on for hours. Mitch, Becky, Heather alternating whenever one got tired. I sat against the wall watching them with a blank expression. Finally, when they had quit and Draco lay motionless on the floor I got slowly to my feet.

"Schyler what's wrong?" Becky asked.

"Nothing," I replied. I walked forward and knelt beside Draco. I touched his cheek with my fingertips, staring down at him. He was staring back at me but I didn't know if he knew who I was. Blood ran from his mouth. and my fingers already had blood on them.

"Draco..." I said softly.

"Schyler...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..." he gasped his voice trembling with pain.

"Draco you've never been sorry for anything a day in your life," I replied, my voice filled with hatered for the blonde I had once loved so much. I placed the tip of my wand against his throat and his eyes widened. Then his neck snapped and his eyes became dull and lifeless. I pocketed my wand and stood up. A single tear fell down my cheek and I brushed it away.

"Can we go home now?" I asked turning to my friends. Becky nodded and we Apparated back to Becky's manor.
