And.Then.There.Was.One((Brendon))

[Lily Potter]

The weeks had passed and the news of Albus dying had become less painful, but still not apinfree. It had taken a good four days for the youngest Potter to get back to going to class. Most of her days were spent curled up under her comforter, crying softly all day, with no one to hold her. The only person that would have would be Rosie, but the two girls weren't really on speaking terms. But as the days rolled on, and the heartache began to fade away, she had gone back to her classes, having to catch up on all the homework that had been given out while she was absent.

Shaking her head at the thought, Lily pushed throgh the great, wodden doors that closed the school. She smiled as the sunlight hit her face, warming her up instantly. What a nice day to relax outside, afterall it was a Sunday, and who ever did anything on Sunday? It took a few moments for her eyes to adjust to the bright light, but once they did, she was walking to the Black Lake, intent on laying out by the shoreline. With not a care in the world, Lily forgot about her brother's warning. He had said not to go anywhere alone. But, here she was, alone as could be with danger lurking around every corner.

Reaching the lake, Lily twirled around, finding a rather nice looking section of grass that was dead yet. Laughing to herself, she plopped down, leaning back and putting her arms behind her head. She sighed, nothing bothering her now. Weel, that is until she saw the lone boy sitting not 100 yards off. She gasped, knowing who is was. She jumped up, not knowing if she should run or stay there. Too late, he's seen her. She pulled up her hair quickly, darting back up the hill, but it slowed her alot. "NO!" she whispered to herself, pumping her arms to get away.

[Brendon Mitchell Keaton]

Bredon was standing staring into the murkey depths of the lake. Memories of the last time he was here with Tess flashed into his mind. How they had hugged, had pinned each other down playfully, how they had laid in the water and he took his shirt off. How he kissed her and she kissed him back. How he had promised not to turn into her brother's killer. The last memory made him grown feeling empty. He really missed her so much. They had never fought before.

He looked round hearing footsteps and saw the Potter girl. His scowl turned into a smirk as he drew his wand slowly. "perfect. That way I can kill her and then bide my time for James to seek me out" he thought looking towards her. He saw her look round at him and quickly panic and start running away and he ran after her catching up easily. "Impedimenta!" he said aiming at her back.

[Lily Potter]

No, Lily hadn't thought of casting a shield around herself. All she could do was run, run like there was no tomorrow. She kept her arms moving, wishing she could stop and hold her burning side. Her breath was coming in heavy gulps when she glanced over her shoulder. She didn't see the Slytherin anymore. She looked iin front of her, still running as fast as she could. Only, not for long. The spell nailed her in the back, sending her to the ground. 'Shit!' she thought, forgetting how to throw the spell off. So, there she lay, unable to do anything but be there, wishing she ould move.

[Brendon Mitchell Keaton]

Brendon watched her run and saw his jinx hit her. He smiled seeing her trip and ran to her aiming his wand at her face. "This is way too easy to kill two out of the three Potters. I hope James poses more of a challenge." He said. He sent the cruciatus curse at her mercilessly. He really craved a good challenging duel against someone against someone in the same year and same ability as him.

[Zane Lestrange]

Zane walked slowly down the path from the Owlery, whistling a little tune to himself. He was looking for Lily, and still looking, seeing as though she hadn't been in the Owlery. Zane had been wandering around the school trying to find her for nearly an hour now. He had just assumed that she was with some friends when he first noticed she was missing, but when the clock showed it had been two hours since her disappearance, he had decided to try and find her, just to check that she was ok and that she hadn't run into any sort of trouble. He walked down to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, before turning and heading back up towards the school. "Lily? Where are you?" he said quietly. Oh well, she's probably back in the common room. I'll just go and check the greenhouses first though. And off he went, up towards the greenhouses, yet again passing the place where Lily was hidden.

[Lily Potter]

Lily saw the boy running up to her. She had thrown off the curse by then, so she looked up at him, her eyes looking far away. She knew what was coming before she heard his words. "No... Please.... I didn't do anyt-" she started, but the words were cut off by her screams. Her mind was filled with blackness and pain. She couldn't think clearly. She fought to throw the curse off, but it was too strong. She withered around at the boys feet, screams ripping from her parted lips.

[Brendon Mitchell Keaton]

Brendon watched as Lily threw off the jinx and tried to speak and laughed "You didn't but your father is going to pay for what he did. He killed my father mercilessly and so that is what I am doing with his children." He watched as she screamed trying to fight the curse off but it seemed to be prooving too strong. He sent another cruciatus curse at her absent mindedly. He quickly summoned her wand so that she was defenceless and aimed at her chest. "Goodbye Lily Luna Potter." he said evily

[Lily Potter]

There was only one thing that kept her going, one single thing. Well, more like one person. Fight! Fight for him! DOn't give up now! she screamed in her head. Though she still couldn't think clearly, the word formed in her mouth, erupting in a scream "ZANE!" she screeched, still not throwing the curse off. She heard Brendon, saying he would kill all the Potter childern to avenge his father. Not her and James. One Potter was enough, too much even. This wasn't right. She felt the wand fly from her pocket, he eyes flying open. Her face paled even further. I can't die! NO! "ZANE!" she screamed, the boy was all she could think of.

[Zane Lestrange]

Hmm not here. He walked slowly back up to the castle doors, pausing on the steps to stare out at the grounds, for a few seconds. That was when he heard her. His Lily. He turned towards the sound and spotted Brendon Keaton and a figure writhing on the floor, that's Lily. And he was running, faster and faster, towards the Slytherin who had his back to him. Closer and closer, no time for a spell, he could deflect it. So instead, Zane opted for the physical attack and rugby-tackled the Slytherin to the ground.

[Brendon Mitchell Keaton]

Brendon watched as she screamed for her boyfriend foolishly "He isn't coming. You're dying now alone." he said feeling the spell brewing inside him. He raised his wand. Suddenly he felt someone tackle him and fell to the ground. Unfortunatly that meant that he had broken the curse's spell on Lily. He looked round seeing Zane there and scowled. He rolled over and pinned Zane down hard glaring at the golden boy with loathing. "You're gonna pay for that Lestrange!" he hissed at him raising his arm and punching Zane's face.

[Zane Lestrange]

"Well you were wrong there weren't you," Zane laughed as they hit the ground. And then it was Zane who was on his back, but still he couldn't stop laughing. The look on Keaton's face had been priceless, a real picture. Finally he stopped laughing when he received a punch in the face, "Am I now? I hope you feel like a man now Keaton, because threatening to kill my girlfriend wasn't exactly your best move." Zane grabbed Keaton's arm with his free hand and twisted his wrist slightly, causing the Slytherin's hold on him to weaken. He rolled away and got to his feet, facing up to the Slytherin, who he now noticed, was quite a bit taller than him.

[Brendon Mitchell Keaton]

Brendon jumped up staring straight at Zane angrily. "God he was so much like his sister." he thought looking towards him "All words and no action." He glared at Zane knowing that he wouldn't do any lasting damage. He also noted that he was taller and stronger than Zane physically, but Zane was stronger than him magically. "Oh yeah is that right. What do you intend to do about it. Stun me like every other coward in the NO." he taunted raising his wand and muttered "crucio." and pointed his wand at Lily hoping to anger Zane so that the fight might be more entertaining.

[Zane Lestrange]

Zane returned Brendon's glare before saying, "You'll just have to wait won't you." He paused and then quickly cast a strong shield charm over Lily, that managed to deflect the unforgivable before breaking. He stared at the Slytherin in silence, just waiting for the right moment. "Don't you dare do that again," he said quietly, staring at Brendon once more.

[Brendon Mitchell Keaton]

Brendon watched as his strong unforgivable was blocked by an even stronger shield charm "But shield charms aren't supposed to block unforgivables." he thought angrily "shit Lestrange is good." He shifted his glare from Lily's frail form wondering whether to just kill her in front of her boyfriend. "I could wait, but the trouble is I am a very impatient person. Maybe I could just kill her now in front of you?" he taunted aiming his wand again at Lily's chest. Muttering another cruciatus curse watching Zane for his reactions.

[Lily Potter]

Lily shook her head as the curse dropped, hearing Zane's angry voice. She looked up frantically, her vision still blurry. "Zane?" she questioned, rubbing her eyes to remove the tears she didn't remember shedding. She tried to stand up, but her legs refused to support her weight. "Zane? she whispered again. Before she knew what was going on, she was hit with another, stronger curse. She screamed, the sound not weakining one bit. Tears trickled down her cheeks as she tried her hardest to throw the curse off. Faling yest again, she let herself flip and flop on the ground, giving up.
