Night

The Witchfinder was dead. It had turned out that he was a magic user and a very dangerous one at that. He was sacrificing his kin to increase his power and using the money and contacts provided by Uther as a way to further his own ends. After this had been discovered, Uther felt the burden of guilt rest on his shoulders but this was quickly squashed by his hatred of magic and he would use it as a reminder to remain as vigilant as ever and Leon could hardly blame him. He thought of all the debates he and Penny had about magic. She would defend it so vehemently and he never understood why. These magic users were dangerous, Leon thought of all the atrocities the witch finder had committed mostly against his own kind.

Barbara had told him what happened about how the Witchfinder wanted her and she had a plan to stop him once and for all. Barbara had said that she didn't want him to be involved and how she didn't want her and Harry to get hurt. Leon felt angry. "What gave you the right to decide that" he shouted at her lying on the bed. She looked like she was sleeping but it was far deeper than any normal slumber. Gaius had figured out how to feed her but beyond that. There was nothing he could do.

"I am your husband" he shouted angrily "You should have told me if you had a problem, we could have faced it together but you had to face this on your own" She didn't react, she looked beautiful, her hair was being kept neat by Barbara and she was wearing one of her finest dresses. He knelt down by the bed and started crying.

"I barely knew you in a way" he cried "But I fell in love with you so quickly, you were so feisty, you were so good at everything I wanted you to be good at, you were so helpful and beautiful and you were the most amazing person I ever met. I would have followed you into hell if you asked but you left me behind and even though I've only known you for such a short time, I can't imagine living my life without you" she still didn't react. He gazed at her and after a while he spoke.

"I suppose you are still here, in a way, I will find a cure for you. I will reverse this and you will see your son again" he held her hand "I promise.

A/N This chapter was hard to write but I didn't want to leave it without a proper ending so this is me tying up some loose ends. I'll probably write a sequel some day but in the meantime please review and I hope you've enjoyed this fanfic.
