Chapter 33 - Fight or Flight

Hey guys! So this is defiantly one of the last chapters so I really hope you enjoy. I'm so beyond sad that things are ending. I really hope you enjoy. XOXO

ROSE'S POV-

It took us no time to get our stuff together and apparate to the location Lucius had given us. When we landed I realized exactly where we were. I'd never seen the outside, but I knew. It was the place in which he had tortured us. A chill went up my spine and I took a deep breath. I could do this. Looking at Al and Alice for reassurance we walked in the metal front door that just so happened to be unlocked.

As soon as we entered the building the mood immediately darkened. Not only did the room actually, physically darken, but the putrid smell of death hit us full on. We walked down the darkened hallway that was lit by only one, small, flickering light. Slowly I began to see doors and cells. Peering in one of them it all came back. The days without food, the non stop curses, the taunting. But worst of all, there was the fear and realization that I might never escape. I'd never get my happy ending.

Shaking off all thoughts that were holding me back I continued to walk leading us down the corridor. The hallway began to widen into what I found was a larger room that held two people. Lucius, and Scorpius. My breath caught in my throat when I saw Scorpius and I suppressed the urge to run up and throw my arms around his neck. He was alive and physically seemed okay.

"You came." Lucius lead, a menacing grin plastered across his gaunt face. "Of course we did." I snarled. Scorpius looked up and our eyes met. My heart sank when I realized he still didn't remember. "Why haven't you fixed him? What did you do?" I cried tearfully. "He didn't do anything." Snapped Scorpius. I stepped forward cautiously and he eyed me curiously. "Scorpius, I need you to remember me. You love me." I said desperately. "No, I don't." He said with a glazed look. Lucius did nothing to stop me as I took a few steps closer to Scorpius.

"Yes, you do. Do you remember the first time you told me so? We were sitting on the couches in the common room and you said you'd never felt this way about anyone." I said as I stepped even closer. "You're lying." He said through gritted teeth. I ignored him. "We went through so much. We broke up twice, but always found each other again. And then, you proposed said you'd never love anyone else." 

We were now so close that I could feel his breath lingering on my skin. "Then, we got married and it was the best day of my life. I'd never felt happier because in that moment I loved you more than I ever had. Everyday after that I fell more and more in love with you. I need you to remember that. That I love you. And you love me. I know that you do." I said as a tear leaked from the corner of my eye.  "Why are you lying to me." He shouted forcefully. "I'm not. I know that the real Scorpius is still in there. You need to fight whatever Lucius is doing to you." I said desperately. 

He shook his head and an evil look came over him. He raised his wand but I raised mine quicker. "Expelliarmus!" I shouted. His wand flew out of his hand and he was left defenseless. "I won't hurt you. I just need you to try and remember." I said as I put my wand in my back pocket. "There's nothing to remember. You're lying." He practically screamed. Before I could say another word he dropped to the ground and began. 

Lucius let out a cry of frustration and I flew  to Scorpius's side. His eyes were rolling into the back of his head and his body was thrashing and kicking almost as if something else inside of him had been controlling him. His body went limp and I held my breath. Slowly, his silver eyes flickered open.

As if a switch had ben flipped on his eyes light up and he pulled me into the tightest hug I'd ever been in. "I remember. I'm so sorry, Rose. I love you so bloody much." He said over and over again. I relaxed into him because I'd done it. I'd made him remember. But before I got too overjoyed and I stepped back and held up my wand. "When's my birthday?" I asked. "What?" He said confused. "My birthday." I lead. "I have to know if you're really back." I said. "September 20." He said without even thinking. "What's our anniversary?" I asked. "Which one?" He asked. "When we were married." I said. "October 12, 2024." He said without thinking again. "Last one, who was the boy who broke my heart in fifth year." I said. "That's easy, Keatyn Smith. I went and punched him and broke his nose." He said with a laugh. "That was you?" I asked shocked. "I told you, even then I'd do anything for you." He said. I threw my arms around his neck and let out a cry of relief. 

Realizing that we had an audience I pulled backwards to address Lucius, and a nervous looking Al and Alice. Scorpius's arms were still locked around me in a tight grip. I was about to speak but Scorpius beat me to it. "This ends tonight. Either you die, or I die." He said staring at Lucius. I gasped and tears filled my eyes. A life without Scorpius wouldn't even be worth living. "If that's how you want to go, then so be it." He said with a grin. "I guess it'll be you dying then because there's no way we're letting you get your hands on the Kylela." I said waiting for his reaction.

Confusion flickered across his face and suddenly the realization set in. "What are you talking about?" He lied smoothly. "Don't play dumb. We know everything." Scorpius said. I could tell Lucius was starting to panic. "You think I care? You think I actually care that some silly children know my plan?" He said with a cackle. "Silly children? Would a couple of "silly children" been able to figure out everything and fight as long and hard as we have? I don't think so." I said as I reached my wand.

"You know Weasley," He lead. "It's Malfoy now." I snapped. He ignored me and went on. "It really is a shame to have someone like you in the family. Someone as disgusting and worthless as you are. You really thing you deserve the Malfoy name? You really think that there's any way my Scorpius could love you? How can someone so filthy and ruthless be so deserving?" He said as he stared into my eyes.

Every word he spoke hit me hard in the chest and suddenly I felt like a small child. Tears brewed in my eyes and as I wiped them away I saw Scorpius rip out his wand and take long strides until it was touching Lucius's chest. "Don't you ever talk to her like that again." He snarled. I'd never seen him so angry. Lucius tried to raise his wand but in a split second Albus's was out and he had disarmed him. "Face it, you're outnumbered." Scorpius said as he pushed his wand farther and farther into Lucuis's chest. "You actually have to audacity to think that I would come unprepared?" He said with a laugh.

In that moment at least 6 other people emerged from no where. I recognized every single one of them. They were all ex-death eaters and Azkaban escapees. Without even looking at Scorpius I grabbed my wand and immediately stunned two of them. They flew into each other and hit the ground with a 'thud.' Al and Alice caught on to what I was doing because they too started to pull out there wands and fight. Scorpius was dueling Lucius, Al with one man who's name I couldn't quite remember, Alice dueling Antonin Dolohov and and Yaxley, both of which I recognized from History of Hogwarts and things my dad had shown me. I was battling Rodolphus Lestrange who had tortured both of Alice's grandparents. Before I even knew what I was doing the words 'crucio' had rolled off of my tongue and Rodolphus was on the ground thrashing uncontrollably. 

Processing what I had just done my hand flew to my mouth. Before I could properly react I heard a crunch and looked around to see Al on the ground and his attacker standing over him. Without thinking a stunned him and rushed to Al's side. He was unconscious. Knowing he'd be ok I looked over to see that Alice was down to just dueling Yaxley and it looked like she was winning. Running to Scorpius's side I heard him and Lucius yelling at each other.

"You killed my father, my best mate's sisters, almost my wife, what else can you take from me?" He shouted. "I can take you. I can take you away and never return you. I'll make you live the worst life you can imagine." Lucius snarled. "Before I kill you, answer this, why did you need the Kylela. Is it really worth going so far back, risking your life, and trying to kill your own flesh and blood, just to get an illegal ingredient?" Scorpius asked incredulously.

Lucius stopped in his tracks and so did Scorpius. "I thought you said you knew everything, you stupid boy." He said with a sharp laugh. "What are you talking about?" I asked as I stood next to Scorpius. The room was silent. Alice had apparently beaten Yaxley and she was standing in the shadows tending to Albus. "Don't you get it? I didn't kill your father. He's dying. And so am I." He said as he pulled up the sleeve of his robes revealing a blackened arm. The blackness extended and I realized I could see it traveling down his neck. 

"What is that?" Scorpius asked. "Every living death eater's dark mark turned black and started burning two years ago. The blackness started to travel and I knew that this would be the end. But, I knew that Kylela could fix me. I needed to get some because I will not die." He said through gritted teeth. "Why couldn't you get it without involving us?" I said with as much venom as I could muster. "In order to create the mixture I need to heal me, I need three ingredients. The kylela, an eye of silver, and an eye of emerald coming from the dead. But they can't just be any eyes. They must be from one male and one female, one of which needed to be of descent to me. It all seemed to easy. I had two perfect pawns right in front of me. But you just wouldn't listen." He shouted.

"What did you do to make Scorpius forget?" I blurted. Lucius started to laugh again. "You really are stupid. I had stowed away a small bit of Pheronixon from all of those years ago. When taken in small does periodically, one starts to forget things. I just had to find ways to slip it to Scorpius, whether it be through what he drank, inhaled, ate or the water he showered in. I just needed to get it to him." He finished. All of my anger bubbled up. "For the last year and a half you have made our lives a living hell. Lily shouldn't be dead. And Draco shouldn't be dying, where ever the hell he may be. Both of them changed. You didn't. You deserve to die over and over and over again to experience all of the pain you inflicted on others." I yelled

"So, I guess this is it. Either I kill you and get what I need, or you kill me and I die." He said as he raised his wand. "Let's finish this the way we started." I said as I slipped my hand into Scorpius's. "Together." He said as we raised our wands. Fear flashed across Lucius's face and before he could do anything to defend himself, the spell had been cast.

"Avada kedavra."
