Serene watched Shawn slowly, her eyes intently seeking something. She wondered where the compassionate man that she had married had gone....Instead she saw only a hard exterior, intent on killing Eileen, "You've been threatening her family?" She felt her eyes narrow as she looked at him, "That's horrific..." She breathed, suddenly feeling like she was on Eileen's side even after all that had happened. "This wasn't the deal, Shawn." Serene said quietly and touched his wand arm, "Eileen brought me here as a trade. Fair and square." She looked at Eileen and nodded.

Shawn looked down at her in shock, his arm still raised with wand pointed square on Eileen's chest. "Sweetheart... Serene..." he said "That doesn't change the fact that she killed you! Just because you're alive now doesn't take anything back. It just means she got lucky!" he yelled looking at Eileen in anger.
Then he looked back at Serene with a kinder face, "I love you. And I thought you were dead... Don't you know how dead I was inside after I saw her standing over you, just letting you bleed out?"

"Shawn...Drop it." Serene said her voice staring to raise, "Its not like you did anything to help me, did you? Did you? I mean...The last thing that I remember I hit the floor and you disappeared. Disappeared. You left me there...bleeding and alone to DIE!" She was practically screaming now. She didn't remember anything except waking up alone in the middle of a muggle hospital with scars that extended down every part of her body. She was horrified by the way that she had been left...she still was. She took a few steps back, her head swimming with emotions and pulled out her wand and pointed it at Cameron, "Don't you touch Harlow, or I'll kill your little lackey here."

Shawn's mouth dropped. "Serene! I... I.... She dissapperated at the last second and I got a hold of her and.... we.... When I came back you were gone," he said. "I thought maybe she was working for the Dark Lord and they took you."
He took a step towards her. "Baby, I swear. If I thought you were alive.... But... You were gone when I got back. I thought you were dead."

"No, Shawn. I was not dead! Don't come any closer." Serene said and grabbed onto Cameron's hair, forcing him to his knees in front of her. She touched her wand to his ear and looked at Shawn. She hadn't realized how angry and upset she had been about the entire situation until she was standing face-to-face with him. She could feel her blood pumping throughout her body "You. Left. Me. To. Die." Her voice was strong, the old, salty Serene had surfaced once again.
She lifted up the corner of her shirt, showing a long scar that went from one side of her body to the other, "They weren't even able to fix it." She muttered and glared at Shawn, "Let Eileen go and we will talk about this."

Shawn couldn't believe what he was hearing. "She did that to you, not me! Serene... I-I don't understand why you're defending her," he stated in complete confusion. He threw his hands up stepping away from Eileen and walking to the back of the room. He kicked the drawer with his boots as he cursed under his breath. The woman he loved, thinking she was dead this entire time, was turning against him and blaming him and for what reason he had no idea. How was he supposed to know she wasn't dead?

Serene cast a look at Eileen, "Go." She muttered under her breath and gestured her head to the door, "Leave!" She said with more force, then pressing her lips together in anger. She wasn't sure who she was angry at anymore. Eileen? Shawn? The Dark Lord? Herself? She could hear her heard thumping in her chest and she felt her palms begin to sweat. She cursed herself for being so affected by the situation. She lifted her wand away from Cameron's face and used her foot to push him face down into the ground, "Do not get up." She commanded and then slowly walked around him.
She crossed to the open window and folded her arms across her chest, trying to breathe in and out very slowly.

Eileen took her chance to get out, hoping that Serene knew what she was doing and also that she could convince Shawn to stay away from her parents. She looked at Serene's figure one last time before taking a glance at Shawn and walking out the door. As soon as she was out of the common room, she breathed out not realizing she'd been holding her breath. She didn't know how her life had become such chaos, she was sure this was not what her parents would had wanted for her. First falling in love for a teacher, then becoming a death eater and a murderer. She had to stop it now before any more bad things happened.
Cameron lay on the floor and turned over on his back staring up at Serene. He took a look at Shawn and without even waiting for an order, his body turned green before transforming into a snake and slithering out of the room as fast as possible. A lover's quarrel was not something he wanted to stick around for. Now where was that sl.ut Eileen?
Shawn walked behind his wife, resting his hands on her shoulders.
"Serene," he whispered in her ear. "Please, forgive me," his voice so soft it could barely be heard.

Serene felt her body involuntarily relax into him as he touched her shoulders. Her breathing slowed down steadily and she could feel her pulse rate dropping as well. Shawn had always had that effect on her. She knew it would be no different now, "I looked for you for a while, Shawn. I did. All around London. But you were nowhere to be found. It was like you had disappeared." She breathed and turned around so that she was facing him. Her fingers reached out and traced some of his newly formed age lines curiously, "Forgiveness is a silly thing to ask for." She muttered, "You didn't know."

Shawn wrapped his arms around her waist, only now realizing that she was real. It had all seemed like an illusion. But having her in his arms proved she was no ghost or just part of his imagination. He took in her scent, reveling in her presence. "I wasn't in London. I was here," he said quietly. "I didn't know what else to do but.... seek revenge." His felt his heart thump against his chest. "I don't know if Eileen ment to kill you or if she was set up, but I don't care anymore now," he would stop worrying about Harlow, but if she was telling the truth, then someone else - someone unknown to him wanted Serene dead.

"Eileen didn't do it. I trust her." Serene muttered and pressed her face to his chest, listening to his heart beat. She felt her eyes half close as she realized that they were together again, "It's been a long time Langston." She managed to say with a strained voice. She was now fighting back tears. Tears of semi joy and semi confusion and worry, "A very long time."

A lump formed in his throat as he held her in his arms. He couldn't break down in front of her. Not in front of his wife. But the thought of her death just pained him so much, he honestly thought she was gone forever. "I know. But we're together again," he said, "and that's all that matters." He kissed the side of her cheek. "I won't let anyone hurt you ever again," he said, "I promise." His teeth clenched together as he started to plot and plan on his next moves to try to find out his wife's real killer.

Serene watched his jaw clench and she traced her fingers down his jaw line. She was still trying to get used to seeing him every time she blinked. The tears didn't stop as she looked at him. She could feel a couple trickling down her cheek. She couldn't help it though, she thought that he was just going to disappear again and she would be left alone to fend for herself like she had before. Serene took a few breaths in and then stared blankly at his chest. She had made promises too. Promises to get her back on her feet after the accident. Promises with people on the wrong side of the road. But that was a topic for another time, another place. She stood on her tip toes and tentatively kissed his lips, "Shawn Langston. Welcome back to my life." She breathed.

Shawn kissed her back, reveling in her scent enveloping him. He pulled her so tight against him that no air could pass in between them. After a few moments, he pulled away. There would be more time to appreciate each other once they could relax. But they couldn't relax just, yet. "We need to figure out who hexed Eileen to kill you," he said trying not to show any emotion.

Serene felt the muscles in her stomach contract as he brought up the incident again. Her breathing came in jagged gasps and she was sure he noticed, "Yes. Figuring out that is key...then we can....leave." She said quietly. She racked her brain trying to figure out who would want her dead. There were many names in the book, but none of them were gutsy enough to attempt something like this. This...complex plan was something bigger than all of them...But she knew she couldn't leave until she had finished everything, "I'm assuming that you're not actually going to school, then." She said and forced a smile on her lips.
