To say that Zee was pissed would be an understatement.. how could he, son to Barty Crouch Jr, and follower and one of the few closest to the dark lord be out witted so easily. Needless to say, that Chloe would get what was coming to her.. but not until he found his father. Then, she would pay. He grumbled to himself as he filled the bag with the items necessary for the spell, and then he was on his way to the agreed upon meeting spot; the library. Upon his arrival, he saw the petite blonde already waiting.. the smug look on her face that he so desperately wanted to wipe clean. Zee scowled, approaching her as he placed the bag on the table. “You sure about this? Won’t be an easy spell, princess.” he mocked and put his finger under her chin. In a swift movement Chloe bent his arm back and held it behind his back. “I was a witch before I was a banshee, i’m damn sure. Now get to it, princess.” her voice harsh, she applied a bit of pressure causing him to mutter some words and she fell on her ass. “Made sure I had the wand at ready this time, blondie.” he smirked and waited for her to stand. Chloe narrowed her eyes as she stood, she smirked and dusted herself off. “Cute, nice parlor trick. But i’d get started now, unless you want your ear drums to bleed.” she lightly tapped her throat and he rolled his eyes. “Banshee’s” he muttered as Chloe lay out the spell book, watching his every movement carefully. Zee lit a small fire with his wand, placing over it a small culdron with the necessary ingredients. With her arms cross over her chest, she paced back and forth as she waited for what seemed like forever, hours had gone by even. He finally looked up for the first time. “Did you bring what I asked? Zee said, looking her over. Chloe took a deep breath and licked her lips, she nodded and stepped forward and pulled things from her bag as she spoke “Picture of the both of them, and an item of theirs.. A bracelet of Willow’s, and a watch of Jace’s.” She nodded and sighed as she passed them over, she didn’t want to waste such nice things but she knew they wouldn’t mind once they learned the outcome. “Great, now we do the finishing touches.” He clasped his hands together, dropping in the personal item of each into the pot, as well as the photo. Zee closed his eyes and held his wand out, he began chanting until the pot began to bubble over, a big ggust of smoke came in the color of green - confirming that the spell would work. Once it vanished, Zee coughed and wiped the smuges from his face. “Don’t.. doubt me again.” he glared, coughing once more. “Now, I just need one thing from you.. for the second part of what you ask of me.” he smirked, pulling a blade from his back pocket as he let the cool blade run along her skin until itwas placed in her hand. “Your blood. So I may link you to her.” With the blade in hand, Chloe closed it and made a fist around it until the crimson liquid began to come from her hand and fall into the pot. Zee stopped her, chanting once more with his wand pointed as a popping sound was made and the pot simmered down to nothing, it was completely empty. “As of now..” Zee spoke, taking a breath. “When your sister in law wakes in the morning, she will be 8 months pregnant - there will be no threat to her children, and you will be linked to her - so her life, or lack there of is in your hands.” He looked her over, sticking his hand out. “I hope you didn’t forget your vow? Of coming to take me to my father?” Chloe nodded placing her hand in his, eyes widening as black vines went around to tie them in together. “Now you have made an unbreakable vow, Chloe Giles. You will die if it breaks.” he smirked, and just like that he was off.. leaving her there, holding pressure down on her cut hand.

It didn’t take long for her to reach the Hospital wing, and once she did she noticed Chloe. “Hello.” Willow greeted the nurse, and her newly found out sister in law. Willow told her what she was doing there, and she obliged the request of refilling antibiotics for Jace’s wound, once she jotted it down for records. The two were talking, about small things, Willow invited Chloe to have an evening in with them, she was sure Jace wouldn’t mind - but in that moment, she felt it again.. the pain from the other night. Just like that Willow’s skin went pale, her knees buckled and she grabbed Chloe’s arm before she went down. “Whoa! Wilow, Willow.” the smaller blonde called out as her eyes bugged out, catching her sister in law before she could hit the ground. Chloe gripped her tight, carefully lifting her to the bed just behind them as she looked her over. Willow was evidently in pain, her hand on her stomach while her eyes were clenched shut and she lay in the exact spot she was placed. “Will, take this..” she pleaded, holding a cup of water. The blonde held her breath, doing as Chloe asked and let out a wince as she moved. “I-I can’t… I don’t know what’s happening.” Willow managed to get out between breaths. “Just lay back, okay?” she said softly, giving one of her hands to Willow. Right now, she wished more than anything they could use cell phones, Jace needed to be here. Instead she just went quickly to finding out what was wrong. Just as the first time they met, Chloe lifted Willow’s shirt and placed the gel on her stomach, followed by the monitor for the babies. For a few moments she moved it around, picking up the heartbeat of the baby until she moved it to the left, picking up a total of three. “Holy… wow, um Willow.” she said, causing the other blonde to prop herself, looking at the screen as the outline of two babies came on. Tears pooled in her eyes as she grinned, it wasn’t just one - but two babies, her babies. Their babies. “Congratulations, Willow. It’s incredible.” she smiled, giving a towel to clean the gel. “Nothing out of the ordinary there.. but I will need a blood sample - pains are common, but just to be sure.” she shrugged and Willow nodded, placing her arm up for the blood sample. Once the vials were full of Willow’s blood, Chloe went to take them to the witch in charge of getting lab results, in record time with magic. Nervously, Willow waited and counted the tiles on the ceiling, waiting, praying.. hoping it was just pains and nothing more. It seemed to be hours, but really it was nearly twenty minutes when her sister in law slowly approached the bed side. Her expression on her face said it all. Willow slowly sat up, her eyes never leaving Chloe’s face as a hand instinctively went to craddle her stomach. “What’s wrong..” she asked, swallowing after she had. For a few moments, the room was nothing but silent until Chloe looked away from Willow, she couldn’t look her in the eye and tell her. “Willow.. I.. I am so, so sorry.” she stepped closer and truly looked to the woman. “There is a few complications.. with the pregnancy.” she sighed, closing her eyes briefly before she continued. “You’re what we call ‘high risk’ you have a condition.. it’s called Placenta Previa.. you run the risk of hemorrhaging during your pregnancy or delivery..” Chloe stopped and took her hand in her own. “Or.. you.. and the babies could both..” she hated this, hated more than anything that this was happening to the new family she had just found, they didn’t deserve this. Willow sat, feeling cold.. like she had just been struck with a semi, she just sat as the words sliced her over and over again, ringing in her ears. Placenta Previa, hemorrhaging, death, babies risk.. A few tears ran down her cheeks as she pushed them back, sniffling and scrambled to get out of bed. “Will-” Chloe tried, but the blonde pushed past her and sped walked out of the room, sobs threatening to bust from the back of her throat. Willow didn’t stop, she just kept going and going and going until she reached a room she knew was empty, a room in the Hufflepuff corridor. She just lay on the empty bed and cry, letting it all pour out. She couldn’t believe what was happening, she couldn’t lose her babies.. her babies couldn’t lose her… Jace couldn’t lose them.. Jace, oh god jace.. her sobs erupted even more as she burried her face into the pillow in attempt to muffle them. As time went by, she knew she had to go - had to tell Jace.. it was as much his right to know as hers. Fixing her hair, and the dark line of mascara under her eye Willow took a breath and opened the door, she was going to go to her room and tell her husband everything.. everything they had been looking forward to was now everything they would fear the most.
