Ok first to start off don't worry Girlxwithxthexworldxofxchances I will finish this fic cause I agree with you to many veela fics are never finished. Also I promise you jaceni that I wont go increasing the amount of reviews I want for the next chapter that's just cruel. Plus I don't think this story is good enough to do that lol *tear*. Once again thank you to everyone for there constructive reviews, it keeps me righting along with the humorous ones. (helikesitheymikey). On with the show!

Hermione woke to sunlight shining through the balcony window. She began to move only to have someone tighten their arm around her waist. It came flooding back then. She was supposedly Draco Malfoys mate and was being held captive in Malfoy manor.

"Good morning love." she gasped as he began to kiss down the side of her neck. "I'm sorry we fought yesterday."

"Sorry we fought? How about you apologize for kidnapping me and holding me captive against my will!" By now she was standing by the bed glaring down at him.

"This is all for your own good. I can give you everything, love, protection, status. I only want your happiness." He stood reaching out to her wanting only to feel her against him again.

"If you want me to be happy then let me go!" she hated how desperate she sounded but at this point that's exactly what she was.

"I can't." He said pulling her to his chest wrapping his arms around her. "I need you, please, for both our sanity's just give into the feelings I know you have."

"The only thing I feel for you is hate." She practically hissed wrenching herself from his arms. "And as far as BOTH of our sanity's, I'll be fine. You can't mark me unless I'm willing, and after your next birthday I'm free and clear to go"

"So you would rather let me die then even consider giving me a chance?" she couldn't look into his eyes. He seemed so crestfallen and hopeless. Could she really let him die? The thought of it terrified her.

'I don't want you to die, but what did you expect? That you would Wisk me off and all the hatred and animosity of the last 6 years would be washed away by my sudden and unexplainable love for you?! Why had even chosen her. He had belittled and bereted her every year calling her a know it all mudblood.

"Look, I don't know what I expected ok. I cannot express how sorry I am for everything I every did to you. You are my world and I couldn't just stand there without you." His voice begin to rise as his temper flared. "Everyday I watched as potter and weasel got to talk to you, touch you, make you smile. It should be me! You are MINE and I'll be damned if I let any other male near you!" she was left speechless by his declaration. He then turned and stomped into the bathroom slamming the door shut behind him.

When she finally was able to function again she decided that she could do only one thing. Find a way out. Despite having tried it the day before she turned the handle on the door and surprisingly found it unlocked. Draco must have forgot to lock it again when he returned last night. She sprinted down the hall way finding the stairs quickly and rushing down them. The front door was no were in sight so she simply turned left. By the time she reached the other end of the house she had wasted ten minutes. The room ahead of her seemed to be a small aviary. If she could get herself out maybe she could at least get a message out. There was parchment and ink on a table and she grabbed it hurriedly righting a message to Harry and Ron.

Dear Harry and Ron,

I have been kidnapped by Draco Malfoy. I wont go into the specifics as I don't have time, but please hurry! I'm being held at Malfoy manor and fear I am running out of time.

-Hermione

Tying it to the nearest owls leg she watched it fly out a window about 50 feet off the ground. Not wanting to get caught sending a message she tuned and went in search of the front door again. About five minutes later she opened the door to what seemed to be a small dining area, backing out and closing the door she turned to find a very angry Draco staring down at her.

"What do you think your doing?" The sheer power he exuded made her want to bow her head and cower at being caught but she caught herself before showing such weakness.

"I was trying to find a wait out of this hell hole!"

"Well you'll never find it, I've put a charm on the entire manor so any exits will only be shown to me. You will just be ran in circles." He smirked knowing she had only been wasting my energy. Maybe that was why he had left the door unlocked.

"Why Malfoy, why?! Can't you see that I don't want to be here?"

"we've already been over this." He said calmly. "Now if you want breakfast we can either eat her in the dining room or back upstairs in our room."

"I'm not hungry." Once again her body betrayed her as her stomach growled loudly.

"I think your stomach would beg to differ." He said as he ushered her into the small dining room and snapping his fingers. Three small house elves immediately appeared with fresh fruit, orange juice, and toast. They did not speak as they ate and although she wanted to defy him she saw no sense in starving herself and ate heartily. It unnerved her that he seemed to watch her every move. Whenever she looked up he would be staring into her eyes, watching, almost… waiting. Once they were finished she fallowed him back up to the bedroom not knowing what else she could do.

"This is my private library." He said opening a secret panel in the wall reveling a large room with mountains upon mountains of books. Hermione gasped walking in to the library forgetting exactly were she was, but it soon came back to her as Draco wrapped his arms around her waist whispering in her ear. "Do you like it?" He watched her hoping only to please her.

She said nothing though and only stiffened in his arms. She would have walked away from him but after earlier she was loath to upset him again. He turned her in his arms and tilted her head up for a kiss. His lips met stone ones but after a few minutes he had coaxed her into responding. He was in heaven. Her lips were soft and molded to his perfectly. He pulled her closer and licked the bottom of her lip begging for entry.

"No." She pulled away tuning from him. She couldn't believe she had let him kiss her again. She couldn't she the hurt on his face when she rejected him and his voice was stony belaying no emotion as he told her she had free rain of the library for as long as she wished. She quickly entered going over to the shelves and quickly choosing a book before sitting down in one of the large black leather chairs.

Draco spent the rest of the day in his study dealing with finances from his fathers leftover businesses only stopping to tell the hose elves to take Hermione some lunch and later dinner. It killed him to be apart from her but he wanted only her happiness and if she truly did not wish to be with him by the end of the next month then he would gladly die freeing her of his obsession. What truly upset him though was that he could tell she felt for him the way her body responded to him and the look in her eyes when he mentioned his death. Why would she not simply accept their bond? At midnight he finally returned to his room to find that Hermione had fallen asleep in the chair in the library. He smiled at this and simply lifted her bridal style and laid her in the bed. After changing he got into the bed and put out the candle. His heart soared though as Hermione turned in her sleep cuddling up to his side and laying her head and one hand on his chest. For tonight he would sleep peacefully with his love in his arms believing that perhaps tomorrow would be better. Little did he know that as his eyes drifted close Harry was opening Hermione's letter.

AN: ok so I know there was no lemon but I'm a little iffy on my skills at righting those anyway I plan on having one in either the next chapter or the one after. The next chapter will also begin with Harry and Ron's point of views as they read the letter. Once again any ideas or suggestions are welcome I will do my best to accommodate and will update again once I have gotten 7 more reviews. Lots of love! Thank you all.
