The Unknown Monster
Hermione blinked trying to see out of crusty eyes, but it was darkness all around. No sign of light anywhere. She was lying on her back on cold stone with the smell of urine everywhere. She looked down and saw she's pissed herself at some point. Where was she? And what could have happened to make her pee on herself? She slowly sat up and her hands scratched against the grimy floor. Her breath was the only thing she could see in the dark. Something tugged on her mind and her body tensed.
The center of the room suddenly blazed with light and Hermione could imagine now how she'd pissed herself. The light left and she heard someone shuffling around, panicking.
"Hey, calm down… you're okay." But was she?
"Hermione?"
"Gin?" Hermione exclaimed and scooted forward to go to her but was pushed back when she got too close.
"I cant come over there." Hermione said softly wishing she could see Ginny in the dark.
"Its okay. Any idea how we got here. I remember fighting off death eaters in the forbidden forest then I fell. Here… I guess. We looked for you yesterday and we couldn't find you. What's going on?" Ginny yelled the last part and Hermione wished she could give her an answer but was suddenly stuck on the fact that she'd been here for hours but had no memory of it.
The ground started to shake so violently that our body smashed into whatever was separating us so hard it had to leave bruises. The room was alit now but not like when Ginny had come. Now Hermione could see that it was some sort of cave they were in and it looked like dried blood all over the ground. Ginny was whimpering and the ground split open and blackness came roaring out, so loud and present.
Again Hermione could see how she'd pissed herself because that was the most terrifying thing she'd ever seen.
"Awake again Miss Granger you are very resilient, and you have a friend. Ginny is it?" I deep voice spoke out of the dark smoke and it sent sharp chills down Hermione back and she backed away from it but it was everywhere!
"You are especially hard to break, but they always do. No ones ever beaten me before. Now Ginny, lets get acquainted."
Hermione was backed against the wall and watch as Ginny convulsed and seized in a way Hermione couldn't imagine and Ginny was screaming so much clutching her head in despair and suddenly remembered what had occurred since she'd been here. Such agony. This thing tortured, broke you, and then erased it to do it all over again. Sickness is what this was. Ginny was let go and she rolled over an puked up everything in her stomach. Then, surprising Hermione, Ginny laughed and kept laughing hysterically.
"Mione, I just pissed my self. Can you believe it?" Then she slumped over and fell to sleep.
Hermione knew what the torture curse felt like and it was this. Whatever this was.
"She's tough as well. They all are at first."
The smoke wasn't there but Hermione could hear it as if it were.
"Now, this is number 17. Oh and no one knows this place it here so you'll never be found. Night night."
Then the pain started, skinning Hermione alive, burning her alive, freezing her to death all at the same time and all she could so was scream for it over and over unable to even make out words. Then she lie still and tried to still her tremors as she fell into sleep only to repeat it once she awoke again. Hermione had no doubt that no one would ever find them. They didn't even know where they were.
Ginny a few feet away but untouchable she fell into sleep.
A/N: Something I couldnt make sense of or get out of my head. Really messed up I know. Review anyway.
