Prolog
Scabior had been tracking Arden Resor on and off for close to a month. Resor wasn't one of the more important people on his list of muggleborns to apprehend, so he wasn't too worried about catching him right away just so long as he didn't disappear or give off any sign that the was about to make a run for it. Scabior was more curious about the girl Resor spent so much time with. He assumed that she was a muggleborn as well, but her name, Kaila Wynter, wasn't on his list.
She was beautiful and much more intelligent than the bloke she hung around with. Scabior was almost jealous. Resor didn't deserve her. He was cheating on her…and even if he hadn't been cheating on her, she would still be too good for him. Scabior wouldn't be able to give her much, but if it were possible for them to be together, which it wasn't, what little he could offer her would be better than what she got from Resor.
She was muggleborn, though…and that alone prevented him from making a move. It was the first time he'd ever questioned the reasonableness of the prejudices based on ancestry. If anyone caught him questioning those beliefs, he would be killed…but if it wasn't for that, he wouldn't hesitate to take her away from Resor.
When Resor had decided it was time to start running and had opted to take Kaila with him, Scabior hadn't hesitated to turn his team's focus on the two of them. Scabior kept his team slow, staying on their tails rather than jumping straight in and capturing them. He'd told them that following Resor and his girlfriend might lead them to more muggleborns. What Scabior was really thinking about was Kaila.
He got up in the early hours of the day, before anyone else had even began to stir, and quietly moved into the area where Resor and Kaila had decided to sleep. Resor was curled up on his jacket while Kaila slept a few feet away, her head resting on her arm. He quietly approached her and lowered himself onto the balls of his feet. He brushes a strand of hair out of her face. His eyes filled with something similar to longing. He traces her jaw with the back of his fingers.
"Idiot boy," He mutters, glancing at Resor to make sure he was still asleep. "Don't you know what you have?"
Scabior lowers himself to his knees, leaning over and brushing his nose against her before pressing a kiss onto her lower lip.
"Arden…" She murmurs, stirring as Scabior gets back to his feet, his eyes darkening in jealousy.
Her eyes open half way and she catches sight of an outline standing above her. Still mostly asleep, she stretches and rubs her eyes before sitting up and looking for Arden. To her surprise, Arden was still sleeping comfortably on his jacket…but she could have sworn there had been someone here…leaning over her, caressing her face, and kissing her. She sighs and presses the heel of her hands into her eyes. It must have been just a dream…but she couldn't help but want it back…
