Help

[Ian Hunt]

I apparate into St Mungo's, still holding onto Erin's body, for dear life.
Hers or mine, I didn't know.
I rush over to the nearest healer and say immediately, "Madeline Speare. I need to see Madeline Speare. She's got to help me. She's got to help Erin...please..."

[Erin Row]

"Ian..." I say softly, taking a tight grip on his shirt. "Ian, where am I? What's happening? Ian?"

[Ian Hunt]

"It's okay," I say softly. "It's going to be okay...I'm getting help for you..."

[Erin Row]

"Zip..." I say quietly, "I'm sorry Zip...I'm so sorry..." Another stab of pain rips through me and I arch my back slightly, clinging to him tighter, "Make it go away, please...Make it go away, Zip..."

[Ian Hunt]

"I can't..." I say quietly, "Just shush, okay...lie still...try not to move...I'm going to get help..." I say, looking around for anyone who could help.

[Madeline Speare]

I walking in when Ben calls my name"Oi! Maddie, you got a customer," "Ben what are you-," I stop in my tracks spotting Ian and some girl, I turn back around,"Find some one else, I'm going on break," I say angerily.

[Ian Hunt]

"Madeline..." I run after her, "Please...please help...I need your help...she needs your help...you're the only one I'd trust to help her...Madeline, please..."

[Madeline Speare]

I sigh and turn around,"Fine, bring her over," I say pulling back the curtain on one of the beds.

[Ian Hunt]

"Thank you," I say relieved, putting Erin gently down on the bed.

[Madeline Speare]

I pull back my hair,"Who is she?" I ask never seeing her beofore.

[Ian Hunt]

"P-..." I start to say but stop myself. "Erin. Erin Row."

[Madeline Speare]

I started to heal the cuts on her arm when I look up at him,"What? Your Erin-I thought-There's no-" I sigh brushing my hair from my eyes.

[Ian Hunt]

"I-...I thought so too. But-..." I gesture to where she was lying, "She's right there."

[Madeline Speare]

I have a sinking feeling in my stomach,"So I see,"

[Ian Hunt]

I look at her, then back at Erin, then pinch the bridge of my nose in exasperation. "Shit..."

[Madeline Speare]

I bite my bottom lip grabbing a bottle from the cabinet,"Let's fix her up kay?" I tell him walking over to Erin,"What happened to her?"

[Ian Hunt]

"I don't know..." I say softly, "I saw her, and she was crying and saying she was sorry, thne she just grabbed onto me and-...fell..." I finish lamely.

[Madeline Speare]

I place a needle into her arm and push down the syringe,"So you have no clue?" I ask washing the dried blood off her face.

[Ian Hunt]

"She's supposed to be dead-...I saw it-...That was six months ago-...she was gone for six months...I have no idea where she was..."

[Madeline Speare]

"Your sure you saw it?" I ask him,"I mean we all thought Gideon and Fabian were dead but they're walking around the school like they used to, are you sure Ian? A 100% sure?"

[Ian Hunt]

"I know I saw her stop breathing and I know there was nothing when I tried to bring her back round." I say in an even tone.

[Madeline Speare]

"Well it just doesnt make any sense," I tell him controling my temper.

[Ian Hunt]

"I know that. I don't understand what's happening anymore than you do. Only she knows and she's in no state to tell us anything right now."

[Madeline Speare]

"Well then," I say closing my eyes choosing carefully what I was going to say,"We'll just wait and see what she says, she should wake up in a couple of hours and when she does,"I tell him grabbing my coat off the hanger nearby,"Come find me, I"m going on my break."

[Ian Hunt]

"Fine," I say shortly, pulling up a chair beside Erin's bed.

[Erin Row]

"Zip," I say softly, when the healer's gone. Not knowing her, I wasn't really willing to talk about much with her, "Zip...I'm sorry..." I tell him quietly.

[Ian Hunt]

"Erin...rest." I say quietly. "Just rest for the moment. Don't get all worked up again."

[Erin Row]

"I'm not going to." I say, taking his hand loosely for comfort, "I'm sorry about what happened."

[Ian Hunt]

"Me too," I say, suddenly having realised just how much I'd missed her, "I never meant-...I didn't mean what I said. I would never mean that-...I'm sorry."

[Erin Row]

"I know. It's okay." I say softly.
