Sawyer
“Excuse me!”
He knew better than to answer, but it didn’t seem to matter. The guy raised his hand and held his fist in front of his face. “Tell him I said hello.”
“Hey! How’d—”
Another student rolled him to the side, but it felt like more flames erupted in him at the touch.
He cried out again, even as he lost control of his body.
Blackness threatened to swallow him but he tried to hold on.
He lost track of everything around him and wasn’t sure how much time had passed before he heard Draco’s bellow of rage.
Students moved quickly out of his way and then Draco was kneeling in front of him. “You’ll be okay. I’m here.”
He touched Sawyer’s head and even though it hurt, Sawyer turned into it. He whimpered even as his body seized again. Draco held him as his body trembled. He wasn’t expecting to hear Eduard’s voice, but he did a moment later.
“Out of my way. Excuse me.”
“Sawyer!”
Henry. Henry was here, too. But it wasn’t safe for him. He had to warn…
“Hen—” Sawyer’s breath caught and he began to choke. Draco pulled him closer and the pain ratcheted up another notch. His throat felt like it was closing and he gasped desperately for a breath.
Then he felt a wash of coolness, like he’d stepped into a cool shower after a hot day. The pain began to fade and it became easier to breathe. He pulled in a breath, then another. His vision came back into focus and he saw Henry and Eduard kneeling beside him.
“Henry. Danger. Go,” Sawyer gasped out the words but it was all he could manage. Blackness consumed him, and this time, he couldn’t fight it.
