Youko-chan-Well, I finally got to posting this! I haven't finished it yet but I feel like updating something for my readers.

I'm slightly sad to say that this is not a yaoi. I wrote this on a whim and decided to finish it with pride. I've really worked on this story and I hope it's good!

This is a slight crossover with Harry Potter, but not much.

CAUTION! This is rated M for lots of gore, language, and violence! Please CAUTION!

Disclaimer: All but Dante Couvent and the idea of how half vampires work doesn't belong to me!

Please enjoy!


Blinking, Dante Couvent looked around her in confusion. Sitting up she saw that she was in an ally, a very dirty one at that and her green silks were stained in a ruby red liquid. It took a minute for her to realize that it was her own blood that was flowing from her wrists and legs and another for a shrill shriek to emit from her lips.

"Whot was tha'?" Hurried footsteps headed towards her. Soon a woman in a black dress with messy hair came into Dante's view. "My good Lord!" She nearly shrieked and rushed over to her. "Whot happen'd to ya dearie?" She asked, touching Dante's face lightly.

Dante shook her head, her eyes still trained on her bleeding wrists. "Oh my, well come on, I'll get ya cleaned up." The woman grunted as she picked up Dante's limp form and struggled to walk. "Mah house is right around 'ere dearie." She said before turning onto a street and towards a shop.

"I've go' a pie shop 'ere, worst pies in London though." The woman chattered as she moved down into the house part of the building and set Dante onto the small sofa. "'Ere's a spot a gin, that should help yah clear yah head." She said before slipping some liquid down Dante's throat, an easy thing to do with her not struggling and her mouth slack in shock.

Dante then spluttered as the liquid burned her throat, but it cleared her head and she was able to think better. "Stupid woman," she bit out. "You nearly drowned me!" She coughed.

The woman huffed and put her hands on her hips. "I was just tryin' to help yah!" She said with a motherly tone but it just grated on Dante's nerves.

"Well thank you, but really, you didn't have to shove stuff down my throat!"

The woman grinned "But it worked didn't it?"

Dante grumbled, her pride not letting her agree but it satisfied the woman enough. "I'm Mrs. Nellie Lovett,' she said before walking off before returning with medicine. "It's not much, but it'll do." Nellie then began to clean Dante's wrists. "I'm rather confused as tah why yah haven't died yet though." She said as she wrapped them tightly.

Dante shrugged, she herself had wondered that as well. Nellie then moved onto her legs. Lifting her bloodied skirts, Dante saw that the cuts were lining her inner thighs creating many deep X's. Nellie cleaned them as well and wrapped them.

"Alright, let's move you to the bed and get you changed out of these," the pie maker gestured to Dante's bloody gown. Dante shrugged and allowed Nellie to help her into the bedroom. The older woman gasped as they pulled the remains of the dress off; more slashes littered Dante's front. Mrs. Lovett let out another startled breath.

"What?" Dante asked but nearly shrieked as Nellie's hand touched her bare back and white hot pain shot up her spine.

"You have terrible slashes down your back," she whispered and then rushed back to get the medicine. She came back and began to clean the wounds that Dante could not see but could certainly feel them. Finally Nellie finished dressing and wrapping her back.

"Let me get a loose slip," Nellie searched through her closet and pulled out a thin gown and helped Dante pull it over. "Now, do you have anywhere to go home to?"

Dante shook her head, allowing Nellie to tie the sash loosely. "Well I've got a room upstairs, I can fix you a bed for tonight and tomorrow we'll see about getting you a proper bed." Mrs. Lovett led Dante up a small stair case and into a bare and dusty room. It felt cold and it had a small draft. Nellie headed downstairs and came back with a large pile of sheets. "This should keep you warm," she said before working on making a thick pallet and left again, returning with a small lamp and matches.

"Get some sleep, and try not move or you'll open your wounds." And with that Mrs. Lovett left the room to go downstairs. She stopped half way "Oh, and tomorrow you can take a bath, it's too late tonight." She said before finishing down the stairs.

Dante shrugged and carefully kneeled down onto the makeshift pallet, pushing random sheets around and finally curled up, ignoring the bighting pain in her back. She pulled the covers over her shoulders and stared at the bright flame in the lamp that rested next to her.

She shifted her weight and stretched out her legs before drawing them back in after hearing a satisfying pop come from her knees. Dante then began to try and remember what happened, her memory of the past week was hazy and it was annoying her to great lengths.

Closing her eyes tightly, Dante gritted her teeth and nearly scraped through her mind to try and remember. Then all of a sudden, her head began to pound as memories flooded past her closed lids.


Youko-chan-Ok, I know it's a bit short but it's just to give a taste of what is to come and what I have written. Please review your opinions though I will not bother to reply to those who correct me on my grammar…no offence but I'm most likely going to just say 'thanks but I'm too lazy to fix that' normally once I post something, I don't go back unless it's a huge mistake with the content not spelling or grammar.

As you can see I'm a pretty lazy person, not only that but I've been working on this story for a good few months correcting all that I find.

Sorry I have recently read a good story and the author was insulted by someone and it kind of irritates me when people judge others by their writing skills when obviously it's called 'trial and error' and 'learning from mistakes'. One cannot be perfect immediately, it takes time.

Just look at my stories, 'I've Got a Little Hope' for example I think was pretty good for when I wrote it. I'm improving and I work to do so but I still have a long way to go.

Ack I'm rambling so I shall end this!
