"The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls."
― Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Birds fly as one, why do humans?~ Lethie
Hermione jerked up her wand pointed at… no one. Blinking she looked from the empty spot in front of her desk to the now opened window.
The door to her bedroom, slammed opened, a frazzled female Draco stood in the door way. Her wand pointed at the ready, for the unseen threat.
Her eyes not seeing anything she turned towards Hermione blinking. "What is it, why did you scream?"
Hermione shook her head, "I didn't someone else was here…but…"
Confused, she raised herself from the bed; Draco followed her over to the table. Seeing the Necklace on the table, Draco reached forward seeing the stone in the center red, picking it up he showed it to Hermione.
" Isn't this necklace Charley gave you when you went to visit him in Egypt?"
Hermione took the object out of Draco's hand, "He told me it only reacts to vampires…special types that were very different from the ones in Britain. He said if I'm touched by one, and I'm wearing this the stone will turn red."
Draco shook his head, his long blonde locks flying, and "No, no, I won't do it, vampires that stalk people seriously. We've enough issues without a bloody vampire invading our privacy. That's it I'm putting up wards, so what if a human post man might slam into it and blow up…"
He muttered more as he stomped out of the room, leaving Hermione staring thoughtfully at the necklace.
The doorbell rang, and Hermione could here Draco's turning around to walk towards the door.
Hermione, something finally coming to mind yelled out, "Draco you're not disguised…"
Draco chewed on sugar-free gum while watching the birds flit from tree to tree. Glancing over to the other table he whispered over to Hermione who'd been looking through books for her art class project.
"He's looking over here."
Hermione shrugged, "So what?"
"He won't stop."
Draco blew a bubble before letting it pop, sucking it back in he spoke again, "Do you like that a teenager like's you?"
Hermione gave him an incredulous look, "Are you serious, I'm not Blaise's mom. Give me some credit, really and he's not even that cute."
Draco glanced over when he heard a chair scrape back, "Oh look at that, I think he heard you…and now he is headed over here, quick hide."
Hermione glared at him, thinking him joking, only to have Jasper grab her hand.
Hermione, found herself being dragged out to the hallway.
Jasper walked her into an empty classroom. Turning around after locking the door he turned towards her.
Hermione, prepared herself for whatever he might say," Why did you bring me here?"
Jasper thought about what he would say, before he actually spoke.
"I want to know who you are, and why I can't stop thinking about you."
Hermione sighed, she was too old for these kid like romance's," Trust me after a few day's you'll get over it, you just not my type. I'm no one special; soon we both will graduate and forget about each other."
Jasper observed, as Hermione twisted her hand in her shirt. Her smile though still, held a tinge of fear.
"What if I told you I won't ever forget you, and I know you're not normal because you are the only person I can't figure out? The only thing I've come to understand is that the emotions you show are all false."
Hermione didn't think he noticed her eye's darkening. She kept her smile in place, "I'm sorry that you feel that way but, all my emotions are real."
Jasper stepped forward; Hermione shifted her footing slightly, "You are a very good liar. For me to not be able to tell that you are lying is a conundrum, you're not Bella, so explain."
Hermione didn't know what the girl Bella had to do with her lying. Her mind fluttered through possibilities, causing her mind to wander. Because of this, she reacted on instinct when Jasper reached forward to touch her hair.
Seeing his hand, she slapped it out of the way, before stepping forward and throwing him over her shoulder. Twisting his arm she put her foot on his neck, she stared at him with dead eyes. Coming back to herself, she gasped a loud at what she'd done.
Jasper blinked in shock, as she knelt beside him apologizing, "I'm so sorry, you shouldn't have made such a sudden movement. Are you okay, you're back doesn't hurt,does it?"
She helped him stand while, muttering about how sorry she was to him. He grabbed her hand, forcing her eyes to meet his, "I want to know everything, not because I want to hurt you but so that I can become part of it. I know you and you're brother are looking for someone. I've eased …"
Before he could finish the door opened, revealing a lazy looking Draco. Smiling his eyes only focused on Hermione he spoke, "Hey, we need to go you know dad's coming home tonight, so…"
Hermione grateful for an interruption, quickly walked past a stunned Jasper, and ran off with Draco.
Jasper looked at the door and muttered, " Didn't I lock the door?"
Hermione didn't speak as they left the building; Draco looked at her from the corner of his eyes.
Turning them forward her pulled out his keys, "Are you going to get rid of him?"
Hermione looked at him, her eyes widening, "huh…W-why would I?"
Draco shrugged un-locking the door, "He doesn't seem interested in staying out of our business; honestly erasing his memories would be best."
Hermione shook her head, joining him inside of the car, "I don't want to have another episode like we did in Santiago. We accidentally erased the girl's memories to the point that she couldn't even remember who her parents were."
Draco eyes darkened, His eyes didn't turn from the road. His voice's warmth dropped some degree's," If you recall we both were high on the 'shiran' plus I'm sure the girl didn't want those memories of torture."
Hermione didn't speak remembering the case herself, Female trafficking was bad enough, but if you threw in some magical creatures and witches and wizards. Things could get ugly and dark quickly.
The sickness of some people left little to be desired, Hermione couldn't stop her finger from tapping against the door handle.
The rapid tapping sound made Draco aware of how close Hermione's emotions were to the surface of exploding.
Deciding something last minute and seeing a place to drive off, he pulled over and stopped the car.
Looking over in confusion Hermione asked, "Why did you stop?"
Draco smiled, "I think it's time we let loose a little. You know I can't help feeling antsy, when we start our new dosages. So I think a little jog, will take the edge off."
Hermione shook her head, but she got out of the car with him. Draco pulled his coat off as they entered the woods; he felt his 'Shiran' activate he had no choice but to allow his disguise to drop. For the animal in him had already accepted the female counterpart.
Hermione felt her face itch her scars finally visible. To slashes on her cheek, and one running down the center of her eye lid only to stop an inch under it. She smiled, her teeth giving her an animalistic look.
Draco's heart beat slowed, he felt the air caressed his skin. Hissing in reaction he turned towards Hermione in nodded, his long blond hair blowing out from behind him. He took off. Hermione just as fast shot off after him.
The wolves were on patrol, while the Cullen's were having dinner with Bella.
The wolves raised their heads, when they sensed a great force had entered the woods. Rising they each took off, after the smell. Jacob shook he shaggy head, as he kept pace with Sam.
The woods, swayed at the pulses of magic Draco and Hermione were giving off. They pushed past trees, the night sky sparkling; Draco grabbed a branch and swung up landing on another branch. He pushed off trying to reach the top.
He reached up a delicate hand, and spread it letting the moonlight shine between his fingertips.
Hearing something shift down below, looked down only to cry out when a wolf seemed to be leaping at him.
Hermione, coming from the left, swiftly grabbed the neck of the wolf and twisted it around before releasing, watching as it's back slammed into the tree.
She turned toward Draco, "We need to…"
"WATCH OUT!" Draco pushed Hermione out of the way of the jaws of an on comming black wolf.
Narrowly missing it, they watched as it turned and faced them. Ready to attack again, only to be blocked by a Big Brown Wolf
