Chapter 1: Bitten

She looked up into his eyes, noticing a mysterious gleam in them. He stepped closer to her, making her give him a curious look. As he wraped his arm around her waist, her curiosity turned into bewilderment. But she did not pull away to his surprise, but instead gazed at him in wonderment.

"Wha—" she started.

"Shh," he interrupted, putting his index finger to his mouth, then continued by brushing her chocolate curls off of her neck.

"Please," she said, finally realizing what he was doing as he leaned in closer.

"It's okay," he cooed soothingly, leaning in and kissing her sweetly on the top of her neck, then following it with a trail of light kisses.

When he planted another kiss down toward her collarbone, a wave of fear swept over her, telling her to step away from him. Pulling her neck away from his lips, she gazed into his eyes once more. She saw a hungry look in his eyes, as if she were his prey, but then as she looked deeper, shewas a great sadness, that looked as if it was eating away at his very soul.

"What? Why ar—" she asked confused.

"Don't worry. It's okay," he interrupted once more.

She wanted to believe him, but she had a nagging feeling that something was going to go horribly wrong. 'Why was he doing this? What was he doing? How could his opinion of her change so quickly? Where had the boy that she had known for so long, gone? What was happening?' But as he again kissed her on her neck, all her questions and fears had vanished, along with herbetter judgment.

Planting another trail of light kisses on her neck, as he inconspicuously stepped on the tips of her toes.

"Wha—" she began, noticing the slight weight on her toes, and his tighter grip around her waist. He stared at her few a few moments until he once again continued, placing an unseen wand back into his robe pocket.

"It's okay," he lied, knowing full well that it wasn't, but feeling truly bad about it, and again leaned in toward her neck.

Letting him kiss her again, she felt the sweet touch of his lips vanish, as they were replacedby a strong piercing pain, where his lips had been, moments before. She tried to scream in agony, but her voice wouldn't allow it, choked back by an unknown force; she tried to pull away, but his sturdy gripencircling her waist was unsurpassible in her present state; she tried to kick him, but his feet were uncharacteristically on hers. She was helpless. The only one that could have saved her was the boy in front her, inflicting this great pain upon her.

She could feel herself becoming weaker, her blood being drawn from her body into another's. For with every gulp of blood, she became weaker, and he became stronger, until darkness enveloped her.

Taking his lasttaste of her blood, he finally removed his bloodstained lips from her veins, and looked upon the girl in his arms, pity in his eyes, at what he had done.

Finally tearing his eyes from her, he picked her up and laid her gently on the black leather couch next to them.

"I'm sorry, my sweet Hermione," he whispered barely audible, planting a kiss on her forehead. "Sleep well. For you are not dead; you have merely been bitten."


A/N: did you like it? Please review hope I kept you in the shadows enough for you to want more. Sorry if the setting was a bit confusing but it will be explained in greater detail in a future chapter (in a flashback to be precise). I've written up to chapter 5, so i'm going to submit one at a time at about 5 day intervals probably : D
