I feel my body impact hard with floor, a loud 'thud' echoing through the room and I'm pulling at the snake around my neck, digging in my nails to try and rip it off of me but all in vain as black, clouds my vision, I can no longer squirm and there's just a ringing sound in my ears, no noise of voices or the clatter of furniture...

The ringing goes on and on for what seems like forever but eventually it seems to silence and instead I hear a comotion, shouting and her cackle, I can hear Bellatrix's cackle so she's fine for now, chairs scraping at the floor and Voldemort's voice booming over everything, so it's almost silent but I can't tell what he says.

Darkness still envelopes my vision, but I can feel the cold in my limbs wearing off, so I might be able to move them, that is if I'm not dead.

My eyes flicker open after a few failed attempts but my body's still as heavy as stone and if I move it, I alert everyone I'm still alive. I can see just barely, I look up and a handsome, young man is standing beside me and I'm sure his eyes are glowing crimson and he has extended fangs showing, as a growl permeates the air.

I look again, taking his appearance in with more detail, his hair is rather ragged, it's fairly long and seems to be black but also red at parts, which contracts well with his deathly pale white skin. His nose is quite pointed making him look oh so arrogant, his mouth is stretched into a cruel smile, fangs pointing out and slightly crimson coloured which worries me.

His eyes glow a crimson colour, his attention on Bellatrix from what I can tell and it doesn't seem to be of the friendly nature, so this must be the snake, the one I thought was my friend. How wrong I was. I have no friends right here, right now.

From what I can tell in his human form, he's pretty tall probably about 6 foot if not more because he's taller than Bellatrix and she's a tall woman. I blink and he's climbing over the table to get to her, to try and kill her. I can't let him touch her, like that filthy pig Rodolphus has in other ways.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" I roared, pushing my body to get up and stand up on my still numb legs. My hands gripping onto the nearest chair to keep steady, a chilling laugh drifted through the room.

"Ahh so you are still alive.. good, now go hold her down. I want to drag this out as long as I can!" He ordered, my eyes fell on him and if looks could kill he would be dead 10 times over by now.

"Like hell I'll do what you tell me to ever again!" I growl back at him and that same laugh echos around the room. "Oh please child, you will because you belong to me, not Bellatrix or Narcissa but me, Leo Bludd!"

"I remember you now.." Bellatrix started before he screamed at her. "How dare you! Don't speak of them and taint them with you evil!"

"Alrighty then, and someone said I was going crazy." I mutter and Leo's attention is back to me, an grin plastered on his face. "You will obey me Hermione, or else you're in for a lot of pain."

"Because I can't take pain. Look where I am, pain is at every turn!" I say, sarcasm dripping from my voice as I glare at him, he motions his hand and I'm walking towards him without control. As soon as I step in front of him, he motions again, this time pain a thousand times worse then the cruciatus curse is burning at my nerve endings and setting fire to my skin, slicing through my body with ease, it's so bad that screams rip from my throat and I'm reduced to wriggling on the floor.

"Now you'll obey me." He chuckles as whatever it was on me subsides, my eyes meet his though mine are still covered by the glasses. "Fuck you!" I shout at him, lying limply on the ground, a little blood covers my lips and have the urge to lick it off, so I run my tongue along my lips to clean it off and my stomach grumbles slightly.

"Fine, if you're going to be like that." He yells, my body starts to move towards the table, I try to stop it, but my legs keep moving until I hit the table top, my hands grip at it like I'm trying to climb over it, but I gain some control back, clamping my hands on table so I don't move.

"What the hell was that?" I question, looking into his glowing eyes, he folds his arms and growls out the answer. "You're connected to me, you idiot." I glare at him with a growl and he continues with a sigh. "Fine, you are like me now, you're infused with my DNA, meaning I can control you now."

"And you also made me into a monster!" I hiss at him as a satisfied smirk crosses his face. "Hmm I suppose so, but at least now you're not as dirty as your friends think, you have pureblood in your DNA now, your also, well a..."

"Don't even tell me that I'm also part male because just nope. I'm not part pureblooded male, that's just wrong." I groan as he nods at the statement, his wand pointed at me now. "Other things too, but I'll fill you in on those later, for now.. Imperio!" I go to move, but I'm not fast enough and the curse hits me in the chest.

I get pushed back, like I'm pushed out of my body and that's what it's like, I have no control of my body as I see it move back over to Leo and he brags on, I can see Bellatrix, Narcissa and Draco glaring at him, I suppose that even they don't like him controlling me.

"Go get her." He whispers into my ear, my body tenses some and then begins to walk again, faster this time and there's no hesitation when it gets to the table, it climbs up swiftly and crawls to where Bellatrix is sitting, her black eyes try to look at mine, but the sunglasses block them. Her hands move up to take them off, but mine slap her's away. Wait he didn't order that, so I still have some control.

"Do it now!" He bellows, my hands raise to go for her neck, but hesitate, they tense like they're about to choke her, but hault, I have the control back. "No!" I hiss, black eyes look up suprised that I'm in control.

"Well that cancels out trying to use the imperius curse on her, Rodolphus!" Bellatrix cackles, clearly amused that her husband's suggestion was useless.

Leo coughs, attention drawn back to him as he walks over to the table, his expensive-looking robes trailing behind him, he doesn't look happy, a glare trains on me and my legs spasm, so I collapse flat on the table.

Pain shoots through my whole body and it's almost unbearable, I almost give into it and attack Bellatrix, in fact my body tries as my arms reach for her again and the pain is increased, it like my throat is being crushed with a pair of hands that are ice cold, but also searingly hot.

The pain stops, my body finally able to still. "What the hell? Why did the pain increase? That sucked." I groan out, my body feels kind of weak now and I don't really feel the crooked wand poke into my side. "You were going to try and kill me, that's why... The collar reacted to it." The dark-haired female informed.

"What about before? I nearly tried to kill you then, so why did it only do it now? I wasn't able to even muster the energy to kick you never mind kill you and if I really wanted to I would have already, I've had plenty of chances." I question, earning a cold laugh from Leo who is now grinning deviously.

"Ahh it seems you have developed a connection to her rather then me.. found a mate rather quickly there Hermione. In fact it seems like there's more than one and quite the pair you have there." He grins, but it morphs to that of disgust at the fact, I don't have a connection with him.

"Mate? I don't think.. That's not happening, if it was mates then one would have to be that opposite sex to the other to, you know. And even if that was the case, I'm not an animal with mates, I'm a human who gets to choose who I like and don't like." I blurt out, trying to keep a serious face.

"Such a nieve young one. Don't you understand.." He starts, but I interupt him before he can finish. "Of course I fucking understand. I know what you made me into and I don't want that. I would rather be a Mudblood and tormented for it, than what you are, what you're trying to turn me into."

I clutch my hands into fists, glaring at him as I manage to sit up on the table, seconds later he's in my face, a hand closing around my throat. "Well it's good that you know what you are, but if my own daughter can't obey me then I will kill you myself!" He snarls as the hand closes tighter around my throat.

"I'm not your daughter, you crazy bastard." I yell as I struggle to get out of his ever tightening grip, he chuckles in response, it's a dark chuckle and he looks me in the eyes. "Of course you are, as soon as the venom started it's work, you became my daughter because your genetics changed." He smiles cruedly before ripping off the sunglasses to see glowing eyes.

"See it worked, you're not completely human anymore sweetie!" He laughed, still tightening his grip until I throw my fist into his stomach making him let go and clutch at his stomach in pain.

"Of course I'm human still!" I growl as I throw another punch at him, this time hitting his nose. Blood runs down his face, landing on his clothes, colouring them crimson and creating a sweet scent in the air... Wait blood smells irony not sweet, unless you're a vampire and now I'm one apparently, I suppose there's no denying it now.

I feel a sharp prick against my lip, moving my hand to my mouth and covering it before using a finger to poke at my teeth, the teeth that now felt sharper especially my canines as one pierced the skin, drawing a little blood which quickly disappeared.

A cold cackle sounded from Leo again, drawing my attention to him. "See the instincts are already showing, you're craving blood.. And you can have it if you just help me kill her now!"

"Because the fact that I'm a vampire now "totally" makes me crave blood, no it doesn't. I don't crave anything... Well maybe chocolate, but who doesn't crave that." I reply sarcastically, grinning as he frowned at my small joke, I was serious about the chocolate cravings though.

He growled again, his fist colliding with the palm I caught it in. "Like you said instincts, only a few are showing through though." I smirk as fists collide with outstretched palms again and again.

Rage is controlling him now, controlling him too easily and making him vulnerable, with his sloppy attempts at attack. "Fine, I'll kill your mates first." He announced before advancing on Bellatrix, my fist slamming into his face only inches away from where she sat.

He wipes the blood from his mouth, pouncing at me and succeeding in his attacks after, as my head hits the table, vision turning blurry as flesh coloured dots advanced and retreated to the rhythm of his hits to my face and body.

"Coward." I muttered as blood fills my mouth again, a now welcome taste where as it would normally disgust me.

Numerous hits collide with my body and take there toll, perhaps some bruised ribs, a broken nose, busted lip and a black eye or two, but nothing worse, hopefully.

My muscles ache and try to relax as my vision turns black, his hits stop, he's breathing heavily, but his weight lifts off of me and steps along the table echoing through the room until he's in front of someone, crouching in front of them and then a slam and I think he intends to the do the same as he did with me, another slam soon joins the other and then silence.

I concentrate, forcing my body to obey and open my eyes to see what's happening, I open my eyes to see the wood of the table in front of me instead of the ceiling, a chilling voice cackles and rage fills every cell in my body, my breathing becomes even more ragged and I move my eyes to see Leo kneeling over the two Black sisters, a manic smile etched onto his face.

"Come and try to save your mates now, Hermione... You can't, so prepare to hear them die... painfully, very painfully like I was forced to with my family." He growls out, before two sickening 'slaps' echo through the room, rage becoming stronger as I dig my nails into the table and claw my way towards him.

He's too distracted by the pain he's inflicting on the two women, on the so called revenge he's getting for his family, it's not what his family wants, he's just too distraught about their deaths.

It takes what seems like forever for me to get to them, all I hear is their screams and no one is doing anything to help them as I dig my nails into his ankle, he takes no notice as I struggle to get up, maybe he broke a few ribs rather then bruised them then.

I'm only able to get to my knees, any further and I collapse back to my knees. I can still reach up slightly with one arm, the other clutches my ribs, my nails seem to sharpen as I reach out to punch him, to at least get his attention.

In that split second, he turns before my hand can make a full fist and those extended nails cut into his abdomen before I pull back. An inhuman sound escapes his mouth which twists into rage, a fist and knee send me back and another bout of that painful spell as he growls out a load of lies.

Rage is dilluted by a sudden hunger, I realise why, when a heavy series of drips draws my attention, the cut I made is apparently a lot deeper then I thought as blood runs out of the incision, covering his clothes and the table.

"MINE!" I find myself declaring to him before he starts moving towards me, while a spell is cast on the sisters and lifted straight afterwards.

"Wait. What's her's?" I hear Bellatrix ask, I can see her help her sister into a sitting position like her, eyes focused on us.

"Well, I was threating you and she just saved you.. Well, unintentionally completing the bond I talked about before, so you're both her's, like her mates." Leo chuckled before I swiped at him with my hand, the cut becoming deeper and more fatal.

"I belong to no one and neither does Cissy!" Bellatrix shrieked, moving to get up, but collasping back on the table.

"You might as well, you practically obey Voldy's every command like a marionette." Leo sneered, throwing a punch in my direction. My legs buckle as I clutch at my abdomen, in an attempt to protect the now fragile place.

He looks down at me with what I think is pity, but surely it's not and then it's confirmed when he speaks again. "I feel sorry for you almost, you will never fit in anywhere, you never did and you definitely won't now. It's a shame really, I was starting to like you as well, I really don't wish to kill you, so why don't you just obey me and stay down while I deal with these two."

I look up at him, a warm sensation runs down my cheek and I know it's blood from a cut on my head, but he looks battered as well and dark circles surround his eyes, much like my own lately with the war looming over everyone and all.

He crouches down so we're face to face, his hand goes to rest on my cheek and his thumb rubs calming circles there, the pent up rage disapates before he speaks again in sickly sweet tone. "All you have to do is nothing. You understand, Hermione? You're smart, think about it."

The rage floods back into my veins and my vision goes red for a few seconds. When I can see again, Leo is flailing on the table with blood seeping from his neck.

My vision goes red again and now I'm hovering over him, terror reflects in his eyes, as I find myself leaning down towards his neck. I'm so close all I can smell is the irony blood and it makes me feel kind of sick, so I pull away and find myself panting hard.

"Go on, you need to do it. You need to drink blood, or you'll die painfully." He states, pain contorting his features horribly. "I don't want to! I don't want to be seen like that!" I yell at him, my grip on his shoulders becoming vice like.

He grins manically, pulling me closer to his neck, it's still leaking crimson at a pretty fast rate. "Too bad, you can't deny your new nature, ever! And I'm dying anyway, so you're not killing me technically, I mean you already kinda did, but you won't be by drinking my blood. DO IT!" He bellows, pushing my face right to his neck.

"NO!" I scream back, but my body's already acting on instinct, moving to get at the crimson liquid, I can't stop it, so I make sure they can't see me and I close my eyes, so I can't see myself drain his life force away.

The second the crimson substance touches my lips, my eyes rip open and I stare him in the eyes, as he dies, not just to blood lost, but to the injuries I've caused and now I don't feel guilty, because this taste is so fulfilling, that I don't care what I have to do to taste it again.

To savour the devine flavours that attack my taste buds, it's like all of my favourite things, but improved. It tastes hundreds of times better then before and no longer smells like iron, but of old books and parchment, freshly mown grass, cinnamon and spearmint toothpaste, just like ammotentia, only more intoxicating.

Though all of it still disgusts me, the smell of blood is still there, but lacks the irony kick and I'm actually drinking this guy's blood, enjoying it and craving more, but the sounds of myself drinking from him make me sick. It's like I have no manners, I just slurp at the blood, licking at it until there's nothing left and Leo Bludd is but a paranormal white corpse.

Something snaps inside me, I'm back in control and it hits me what I've done, it shocks me, scares... no, actually it terrifies me. I had no control in those few minutes and who knows when else, I could hurt someone.

"Take me back down to the cellar, before I hurt any of you." I mutter, kneeling limply over the lifeless body of Leo, my brief... friend?

The hood is removed and boney hands cup my cheeks, forcing me to look up into a pair of black eyes and a pair of blue eyes, both show slight fear. I don't want to see them fear me, so I try to look back down, but Bellatrix has a vice grip as always, so I'm forced to look them both in the eye.

I'm forced to look at two beautiful women and all they can look at is a monster. I am a monster, he turned me into a freakish monster and now I have to live like this.

Glowing crimson eyes, surrounded by dark circles, paranormal white skin that makes me look dead, but I suppose I am, being a vampire and all. The green veins still runs along parts of my skin and bite marks litter most of it as well. Not to mention the giant fangs that extend out of my mouth, currently dripping with blood and don't forget the claw like black finger nails.

"Just take me down there... And lock me up in handcuffs again!" I growl threateningly, hoping to scare them into taking me down quicker, so they're all safe, even if they are on the opposite side to me and hate me.

Still nothing, the hands don't move from my face although I can look down at the table again. "Please!" I let out a strangled whisper, a single tear drops from my eye and that's all I allow to fall, before pulling away from the contact and climbing off the table, to walk back to the dungeons on my own.

A/N I'm soooooo sorry it took this long for me to update, but seriously this year has been really busy, with sorting out work for college and getting prepared for uni which is honestly quite daunting now... And the extra distraction of my friend from highschool joining college, which I love, I mean I'm not alone this year which is great, but realising you have feelings for someone after soooo many years and everyone pressuring me about it, doesn't help the already high stress level... Sorry I ehhhh have talk about it and I don't want to talk to my other friend anymore cause I swear it's annoying them even if they say it doesn't... but hey as soon as I get my final major project done, I'll get back to write, maybe it will distract me.
