Pain

[Erin Row]

I stumble into a room that I was sure hadn't been here yesterday.
Although I was lucky it was.
I wasn't going to go to the hospital wing, but I needed somewhere to go, to rest.
I sit shakily on a sofa in the room, putting my head in my hands.
It hurt so much.
All over, I hurt so much.

[Saphire Amy Lynn]

Saphire was standing in the doorframe, leaning.
"Would you like me to fix that?" She asked as she pushed herself off the fram.
"I'm a healer" She said and knealed next to her.

[Erin Row]

I jump, trying to still my trembling hands.
"How can I trust you to heal? You might do more damage." I ask shakily, knowing I would trust her, as I did anyone, but having to ask anyway.

[Saphire Amy Lynn]

Saphire looked at her for a minute. "I feel like I know you from somewhere" Saphire looked at her, studied her then it dawned on her.

"Your Erin..." She said in a wisper and rested her hand on the girls knee.

[Erin Row]

I jump. "Yes, I'm Erin." I say shakily. "How do you know me?"

[Saphire Amy Lynn]

Saphire sighed. "Ian.." She muttered.

"Look, I'm not going to hurt you alright? Tell me whats wrong and I can try to fix it"

[Erin Row]

I jump up, stumbling backwards hurriedly. "I don't know anyone called Ian...I swear...don't-...don't hurt me...please...I don't know Ian..."

[Saphire Amy Lynn]

"Whoa" Saphire said standing up. "I'm not going to hurt you" She said softly.

Saphire didn't know what happend to either jof them, but she knew they knew eachother some how.

[Erin Row]

"That's what they said last time...they were looking for him...and-...they lied..." I say, stopping backing away but not going any closer. "How do you know Ian? You're not-...one of the-...one of the people after him, are you?"

[Saphire Amy Lynn]

Saphire laughed slightly. "No, I'm not" She said with a smile.

"I sensed hurt comming from the room, so I came to see who it was. I know of you because Ian talked about you, but he wouldn't say anything more. And he blocked me from being able to read him. I wasn't really trying though" She added more to herself then to Erin.

Saphire shook her head. "Anyways, I'm trying to protect Ian the best I can, but he is so stubburned" Saphire looked at the girl.

"I'm giong to be honest with you alright? I'm a deatheater, but I don't perfer to hurt people. I got draged into it by a certain someone that I'm not at liberty to discuss"

[Erin Row]

"I am too." I say completely honestly, "I got dragged into it-...and I didn't do what I was told...and they're so very mad...and you're sure you're not one of the people after him? Because if you are, you're wasting your time and I have no idea where you can find him."

[Saphire Amy Lynn]

Saphire tilted her head looking at Erin. "I'm not going to kill Ian" She said with a sigh. "Now, I can't say I have't been a bitch to Ian, because that would infact be a lie. But I already told himthat I was sorry for that"

[Erin Row]

"Okay...sorry...I just-...I didn't know...last time. They came for me, because they wanted-...they wanted him, to get at him...and they said no one would get hurt and that he was sick and they needed me to just do what they said and they'd find him and everything would be okay...and, well they weren't telling the truth and...oh fuck look at me. Complete mess." I force myself to laugh, knowing I'd feel better if I laughed, running a shaking hand through my hair.

[Saphire Amy Lynn]

"Would you sit so I can heal you?" She asked looking at the form of what was, at one time, a happy girl.

[Erin Row]

"Yeah," I nod, sitting gingerly down again, "Sorry, I don't even know your name. I'm standing here making a complete neurotic ass of myself and I have no idea who you are."

[Saphire Amy Lynn]

Saphire chuclked a bit as she walked over toher. "I'm Saphire" She said with a smile and put her hands over the girl. "This might feel a bit wierd" She said and closed her eyes.

[Erin Row]

"Pleasure to meet you Saphire." I smile weakly, bracing myself slightly.

[Saphire Amy Lynn]

Saphire searched the girls body with her mind, finding what was wrong. She smiled to herself when she found it, and she healed it

She was getting better at finding the troubled spots. Saphire looked up at the girl when she was finished. "The pleasures all mine" She said and sat next to Erin.

"Better?"

[Erin Row]

"Much." I say after a moment. "Thank you."

[Saphire Amy Lynn]

Saphrie nodded. "Can You tell me the story of you and Ian?"

[Erin Row]

I give a strangled little laugh, before recovering slightly, "What's to tell? There was a me and Ian, for about a year. And then I found out about-...everything he'd done. And the people that were after him-...and then they were after me-...and I didn't know what was going to happen, but I agreed to do what they said and-...I didn't know it was going to go that far...but they cornered us..." My hands start to shake at the thought so I close them quickly in my lap to try and either hide them or stop them, "...he thought I was dead. I thought I was dead. And...he ran. Like he does when they find him. And then they were angry...because it didn't work...and everyone thought I was dead...and I just got taken along with them and I got away...and wound up here...and he's here."
I left out the part of them killing the baby.
Wasn't any need to tell her everything.

[Saphire Amy Lynn]

Saphire looked at her. "Theres more" She said with sadness in her eyes. She understood how hard it was for Erin to tell her this, but in order to keep Ian safe she needed to know.

[Erin Row]

"And they killed our baby." I say very quietly, becoming very interested in my hands all of a sudden, "He didn't know-...Ian-...he didn't know I was pregnant...but I did. Those-...those people killed it."

[Saphire Amy Lynn]

Saphire put her hand on Erins to stop her from figeting (Sp?) "I lost a baby to" She said understanding.

[Erin Row]

I nod sadly, "I'm sorry."

[Saphire Amy Lynn]

"It's not your fault"

[Erin Row]

"No, it's just something you're supposed to say. Never understood why." I smile weakly.

[Saphire Amy Lynn]

Saphire forced a laugh to lighten up the mood. "Do you and Ian talk at all?"

[Erin Row]

"Er...shout is more accurate recently." I say sheepishly, "He's not the same-...anymore. And I'd be lying if I said I was. We don't really get on anymore. Just fight a lot."

[Saphire Amy Lynn]

"Is there a reason for that?" She asked trying to help.
