Chapter 4: Fear

Harry and Hermione were just about to interact at a much higher level when a chuckle interrupted their bonding. Both turn to where the chuckle came from; it was Harry's keeper, Riddle. There he stood without a bit of shame. He had the darkest hair color, it seemed darker than the night sky, his eyes as red as blood. Hermione took in his features and knew he was bad news.

"By all means X, you may continue," Riddle said with a bitter smile on his face.

"Riddle…" Harry said with a yielding tone.

"Yes, I have come for you my lovely horcrux," he said in a calmly manner.

"Horcrux?" Hermione said silently. Riddle looked over her way and eyed her up and down. "You are not much worthless human, I shall destroy you quite quickly I assure you of that", he stated but before he could do anything Harry had gotten in the way

"Don't harm her, I shall go with you and return without a struggle", Riddle raised his eye brows and sighed.

"You have put so much anger in me, I cannot believe you have touched this filthy human, after all the love I have giving you,"

"You don't love me I am just your special horcrux, a simple use for you nothing else,"

"That is a lie," Riddle defended himself.

"You're a lie," Harry said quickly.

Hermione watched as both aliens communicated. Riddle's words were smooth and confident. She had never met such an individual like Riddle, so dark, relaxed and hypnotizing. Not like Harry, Riddle was hypnotizing in a very dangerous way, as in deadly. She felt so small with Riddle near her, as if to be insignificant and pathetic.

Riddle suddenly grabbed Harry by the throat and threw him out of his way to get rid of the pitiful human. He had hit the wall were the mirror was and landed on the sink was and broken half the restroom. Riddle aimed for Hermione but she dodged his hand and ran out the bathroom. She ran down stairs and grabbed a knife from the kitchen. She held it with trembling hands for she was scared and cold. She hid herself behind the fridge trying to stay as quiet as possible. Footsteps were coming her way; the adrenaline in her blood flowed through her body quickly. She was getting prepared to stab this horrid man. When the figure got closer she zoomed out from behind the fridge and almost stabbed the man, she noticed it was Ron and made a stop to her attack.

"What the hell are you doing?" Ron asked panicking. "Why are you naked?" He then asked slowly. "Oh Ron there…is a man…well an alien…he was going to kill me," Her sentence was full of stammers, and she had to take quick breaths in order to finish it. Ron gazed up stairs and gulped. Riddle was right behind them and Hermione felt his presence.

"Ah, you are the male that has been traveling with my horcrux, I shall terminate you as well," He then placed a sinister smile on his face and made his move. Harry arrived just in time to stop him. Hermione and Ron stared at the colors that were being thrown at each other. Riddle was aiming with a green and Harry with a Red.

"You can't hold me off that much longer X," Riddle explained. He was right; Harry had no power to match up to his keepers. He was much too strong. As Harry struggled, Ron grabbed Hermione and ran up the stairs. He made it in Ginny's room and threw her some clothes. Hermione quickly put the clothes on and followed Ron as he opened the window. He let her out first then he followed her. They both stood on the roof and heard someone shout out in pain.

"Ron we have to help Harry!" She demanded, but Ron wasn't going to risk his life for Harry. He took hold of her hand and he jumped off the roof. They had landed on the bushes which was a very uncomfortable and painful fall. Slowly he got off the bushes and rubbed his neck. "Hermione we cannot do anything for him, we have to get out of here!" Again they heard a shout. "We can't leave Harry!" She said heading for the door. Before she could get to it the door blew open with Riddle making his leave with Harry in his hands. "Harry!" She shouted and ran towards them. Riddle, without making a move he held her in place. She couldn't move at all. "I can't move Ron!" Ron picking up his courage he ran to her position. Riddle rolled his eyes and with a wave of his hand blasted Ron. He hit one of the windows of the house and landed with a hard thud. Hermione still not able to move started to scream in pain as Riddle twisted her body without touching her. As her death came near Harry had awaken just in time to kick Riddle. As he dropped Harry to the ground he ran to Hermione and placed his hand on her shoulder, she was then able to move. Harry wasted no time and took off with her where Ron had landed. He took hold of both their hands and vanished. Riddle sighed with frustration. He had to track X down again which was a pain in the needed all his horcruxes together, to make sure they were always safe. X was making this very difficult. He was thinking of all the possible ways to severely punish X. He took a look at the house. It was destroyed. Whenever he used his strength towards a certain object other things would get demolished as well. Not only was Hermione getting hurt by his powers but the house was crumbling down as he focused on Hermione. That's how strong he was. That's how horrifying his strength was. He took one more look at the house and it collapsed.

…..

Harry had transported inside a zoo. Hermione took a look around and leaned down near Ron and shook him until he awoke. "Where are we?" He asked while rubbing his back. "Apparently we are at the zoo," Hermione answered. "The zoo?" Ron questioned looking around. They were near the elephants. Harry had made his way to the large animals. Hermione followed with Ron right behind her. "They are called elephants," She explained. Her voice was different than when she explained things to him, it was tired and frantic. "Oh…they are amazingly huge," He stated with wide eyes. Ron stared with wide eyes. "We were almost killed by an alien who is currently after you and you are picking up a conversation on elephants!"

Harry just stared with shame. He knew he was wrong for putting them in danger but he just didn't want to be alone at the moment. He couldn't go through this alone. He needed help and comfort. Hermione was just the right person. Not to mention he was starting to grow special feelings for her. He took his eyes off from the ground and focused on Hermione. She looked different. She wasn't smiling and her eyes weren't warm like they were normally. She was a lot paler and her eyes were gloomy. He didn't ever wanted to see her this way and he didn't k now how to fix this. Well there was a way and that was to leave her but he didn't want to.

"Harry I think it is best if we part here," Ron said firmly.

Harry almost cried from the fear of being left alone. "You almost cost us our lives, is this what you for us, our death," Ron said whispering angrily. Harry shook his head. Hermione try to place her hand on Harry and give console but he had vanished.

"Ronald why did you do that?" She shouted. "I did it for our safety," He explained.

"He needs help Ron, he is scared,"

"Yeah I was scared too; we cannot fight an alien,"

"We shouldn't be cruel like others,"

"Cruel! You know what's cruel? That my house is destroyed!" Ron shouted too loudly.

"Ronald Weasley you are…"

"I am what Hermione?"

"Malicious,"

"I cannot believe you are putting an alien you just met before me,"

"I am not putting anyone before you, I just think if I were in need of help I wouldn't want to be left alone,"

"This guy has supernatural powers I am pretty sure he can take care of himself,"

"Not when you have so much fear over someone,"

Ron didn't respond he didn't know what to say. He never had a huge argument with Hermione. He was deeply hurt over this. He wanted Harry gone and he got what he wanted but he didn't want Hermione mad at him. They walked silently through the zoo, Ron right behind her. She didn't want to go home so she had decided to walk around and hopefully bump into Harry. After looking at all the mammals she decided to take a break. Her thoughts were damaging her head. It was hurting because of all the frustration. She kept thinking if Harry was safe and how Riddle could easily hurt him. Most of all, the memory of her and Harry in the bathroom kept coming back. The image of the way he trailed his strong hands on her hard nipples. She thought about their lips touching each other and their tongues twisting around with one another. She kept thinking about how badly she wanted him in her. It wasn't only that but she wanted a relationship with Harry. Maybe just maybe she was falling in love with the alien. Hermione hoped that he would come back for her. She hoped he was safe most of all.

She started to cry. Ron had made his way to her and put his arm around her. She didn't want Ron near her at the moment and removed his arm from her. She knew she was being rude in a way but it was his fault Harry had left. Ron glared at her and grew angry. All he could think of was how she felt so much for the alien and nothing for him. All he needed was time, yes time for her to heal and he would soon have her. As Hermione hoped for Harry's safety he hoped for his death. He stared as Hermione cried. His blood boiled as she cried over an insignificant creature. Something then occurred to him.

"Hermione why were you naked?" He asked.

She turned to where he was standing and placed a disbelieving look on her face.

"Why are you asking?"

"You little whore, you let him fuck you didn't you!" People that were near them heard every little word he had said and placed their eyes on Hermione and him.

"Ron…no I didn't," She answered silently.

"Snake!" Someone in the crowd had shouted. Ron and Hermione turned around quickly to see a huge snake slithering towards them. Ron took hold of Hermione's hand and both ran. The serpent only followed them ignoring everyone else and its fangs grew larger as it got closer to them. It was trying to kill them.
