"Remus, no!" Tonks' eyes fell on her husband, battling with some of the Death Eaters. She felt her heart contract as she watched the scene before her. Abandoning the fray she was engaged in and ran towards Remus, intent on battling beside him. She was cut off, though, by none other than her aunt, Bellatrix.
"Going somewhere, dearie?" Bellatrix asked, tilting her head to the side and grinning. Tonks had to admit, Azkaban had not been kind to her aunt; neither had spending so much time hiding out. The woman was pale, and nearly as thin as a skeleton. In fact, Tonks was beginning to wonder if there was any meat on the woman's bones at all.
Tonks raised her wand, staring her aunt in the eyes. "Get out of my way, you old hag." She threw a stunning spell at Bellatrix and missed. Bella retaliated, hitting Tonks with a powerful Cruciatius curse. Tonks fell to her knees, crying out as she tried to fight the pain, to no avail. She felt as though her entire body was breaking. The pain was unbearable. She could hear Bellatrix laughing as the world around her spun and went dark.
Her eyes fluttered open, squinting against the sun. The sun? Had she been knocked out for that long? She sat up, cautiously so her head wouldn't spin. She looked around and became a bit worried. She was at Hogwarts, but there was no one else there.; or so it seemed. They'd just had a battle there, so one would expect to see bodies of the casualties and the injured laying about but there was nothing. She got up and looked around some more, her worry increasing. Where was everyone?
