However, one could argue that I am her… just someone who has grown up somewhat… jeez, do I have to spell it out? I am her.

Mwahahahaahhaahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…. –cough-

This one I going to be a bit different, however, mainly because I thought of a better way to put things…

…………………………..

The wicker basket lay discarded in the middle of the meadow as she gave into temptation and twirled. Arms outstretched, face lifted to the sun, she smiled. The wind blew gently, tossing her chocolate curls around her face in a whirling halo.

" 'Mione, come on! We have to go!" A shrill voice cut into her thoughts.

She laughed and caught the flailing arms, kissed the cheek of the frightened face, " Its ok, Luna." She said, soothingly, " The sun is still up."

"But…"

"Shh. I'm here. You're perfectly safe." She smiled into her younger sisters face, her brown eyes sparkling with mischief.

Suddenly, she gripped her sisters' waist and flung her up, letting go so she could fly. She caught her again and gently placed her on the ground, tickling the little body until it was shrieking with laughter.

Luna smiled at her elder sister, her golden curls catching the sunlight and glowing, " Thanks, 'Mione."

Together, they picked flowers to put into the basket.

"Mother will love them." Luna said excitedly, holding a scarlet flower up to her nose and inhaling.

They both collapsed onto the ground and twisted various stems to produce circlets, which they painstakingly placed upon each other's heads. Hermione had a crimson crown and Luna had a blue and purple halo.

Suddenly, Hermione stiffened and froze her smile upon her face. Someone was watching them.

" Come on, Luna. Lets go." She said hastily, and caught the small hand in hers.

Luna's smile faded, "What's the matter, sis?"

"Nothing, sweetie." But there was something. She glanced to the sky and her heart almost stopped. Dusk was approaching.

Abandoning the basket and flowers, she picked up the small body and ran, oblivious to the shrill shrieking in her ears.

She could hear them behind her, hear the excited panting. She could almost feel the teeth sliding into her neck, draining her life. She yelped as she fell, shielding her sisters whimpering form with her own body.

" Well," The slow voice drawled, " what do we have here?"

She caught her breath and whispered frantically into Luna's ear, "Don't move. Whatever happens, don't scream." Looking into the tear-streaked face, she cursed herself for putting them into this danger. They should never have ventured this far from the palace.

" I do believe this is the answer to our, predicament." Answered another, harsher voice.

" Hello, girlie." The voice breathed into her ear, "How are you doing this fine evening?"

Unwillingly, she found her eyes opening to meet with the scarlet eyes of a vampyre.
