Sacrifice

She opened her eyes slowly.

Her muscles sang with the memories of recent beatings.

Her hands bled from her nails being used as weapons.

Her arms shook with the effort of lifting herself to a seated position.

Her neck cracked as she took in her surroundings. Four gray walls, a chain, a sing, and a dingy toilet.

As her eyes adjusted to the dark, blurred silhouettes moved in her direction.

"Are you okay?"

She hadn't the mental capacity to speak but nodded slightly.

"She's fine, get her something to drink."

A figure moved to the sink and returned, pushing a musty pewter mug in her hands. She sipped slowly. The shapes moved closer, and her eyes adjusted to see a petite blonde, two brunettes, and a mane of red hair.

"It's okay, Hermione. We're here with you."

A/N: This will be continued after a good amount of reviews. It's all planned out and several other chapters have been written, so review!
