the only hope for me is you.

Lyssa gave him a dry smirk as she walked by him.

Cassie watched him warily as she walked inside, giving an involuntary shudder once she looked around. While it had been her idea to come her in the first place, she didn't like it. She wrapped her arms around her stomach, biting down on her lip. "The sooner we get out of here the better," She said in a quiet tone, her eyes flickering in the direction of the living room.

"I agree," Lyssa muttered, biting her lip in thought.

"Well, seeing as I have no idea how to get around your house, care to find Draco, and then your mother?"

"Draco's probably in his room, and mum would be....in the library or her study."

Cassie nodded. "Makes sense," She said. "Lead the way there then."

"Mum or Draco first?"

"Do you want to tell them both at the same time? Or separately?"

"...same time. Faster, so I suppose we'll get Draco and then all go find my mom."

Cassie nodded. "Sounds like a plan."

Lyssa then bolted up the stairs to the second landing of the Manor and started down a hallway that looked like it led to a generally uninhabited area.

Cassie followed Lyssa, feeling somewhat sick at being near the manor. But it would be worth it if Lyssa finally understood.

Without knocking, Lyssa opened a door in the dead center of the hall. "Draco," she said walking in. "Where's mum?"

Cassie leaned against the wall outside of Draco's room.

Draco looked quite startled at his sister's appearance. "She's in her study. Why?"

Lyssa waved his question away. "Come with us and you'll find out. Please?"

Draco got up, and followed Lyssa. Frowning at her.

They went and found Narcissa.

Who was in her study, office thing.

She looked up as they entered. "Yes?"

Lyssa looked at her feet. "Um..." she muttered.

Cassie glanced at Lyssa, giving her a look that asked if Lyssa wanted to tell her or if she wanted Cassie to. Because it would be a hard thing to have to tell someone, but it would also be a thing that you'd want to tell them yourself. Draco was looking between the girls curiously.

Lyssa shot Cassie a look that told her to say it.

"Okay," Cassie said turning so that she was somewhat looking at both Narcissa and Draco. "I brought Lyssa here because she needs to know that other people care for her, and love her. Because, earlier this evening," Cassie bit on her lip stopping for a moment before she continued. "She was going to purposely overdose on sleeping pills."

Draco was the first the digest that. "She what?" He looked at her. "You what?!"

Lyssa was quiet.

Cassie bit down gently on her lip and took a step back so she wasn't in the middle anymore. She'd done her part by getting Lyssa there, and telling her brother and mother. Narcissa's eyes widened, and she got up walking over to her daughter and wordlessly pulled her into a tight hug.

Draco joined the hugging and it was made into a group hug. Lyssa didn't move any.
