Had to have a song from this band because they were phenomenal live!
Chapter 10 Make me Wanna die
Take me - I'm alive,
Never was a girl with a wicked mind,
But everything looks better,
When the sun goes down.
I had everything: opportunities for eternity
And I could belong to the night.
Your eyes, your eyes,
I can see…in your eyes, your eyes.
X-The pretty Reckless
"You sure about this?" Ron asked nervously.
"Positive. The werewolf part of him would want to be as far away from the city especially if he wants to remain hidden." Hermione explained. They were in luck that they found Greyback's campsite. There were four figures that were huddled around the fire. They barely seemed to move but Hermione's instinct told her Greyback was standing there. There were Aurors that were making sure her parents were being watched but she didn't trust in anyone capturing Greyback but herself. It was for the sake of her parent's lives. When she had heard about his sighting she had already thought she was too late, knowing he would gladly kill them for sport.
"You sure they aren't just ordinary muggles?" Harry said ready for what was about to come.
"Harry, Ron what is with you boys? I can feel it," Hermione said annoyed. Both boys noticed that Hermione wasn't her usual self and were worried that she was rushing everything. It was a pretty risky plan.
They were miles away from any civilization meaning that if the Golden Trio's plan didn't go as smoothly as they planned they were on their own. They were hiding behind a large boulder not too far from the camp.
"Okay on my mark we will go and catch them by surprise. Got it?" Both boys nodded and had their wands out ready. The moon was shining brightly a dark reminder that Greyback was going to be even more aggressive and wild.
"Now."
"Stupefy!"
"Stupefy!"
The spells all made contact with the figures but surprisingly none of them even bothered to counterattack as if…
"Dummies," Ron said.
"It's a trap!" Harry exclaimed, "We have to leave now!"
The last thing the Golden Trio could see were dark shadows surrounding them following and a low growl.
"Do what you want with the boys," Greyback said his cold eyes piercing into Hermione. She looked frozen in fear and he savored the look. "The girl is mine."
"No! Hermione!," Ron shouted aimlessly into the dark. They had bound and blindfolded both boys and could only hear what was happening. "Leave her alone!"
The boys tried to fight but received the Cruiatus Curse making the pack all howl with laughter.
The werewolf licked his lips wondering what to do with his innocent sheep. Should he torture her until he hungered for her sweet flesh or take her innocence and maybe make her his mate? It had been so long since he had been with a woman that he seemed to favor the latter idea. He grabbed her by the hair and yanked it till her creamy white flesh was exposed to him. His hot wet tongue snaked out making him shudder at how sweet she tasted.
Hermione snapped out of her paralysis and tried to fight back but it seemed to excite him even more. His other hand shot up her blouse his sharp claws tracing up to her chest area. He could smell her fear and feel her heart pounding. Her eyes were bulging from fear and realization of what he had in mind.
"P-please don't," Hermione cried. She couldn't hide her fear of being violated. Tears welled up in her eyes as Greyback's smile became even more predatory. He lowered his face and for a second Hermione thought he was going to bite her when he inhaled her scent as much as he could. His mouth started to water till he seemed to have caught a familiar smell.
It smelled a lot like…No, it couldn't be.He reassured himself. He growled and started to touch her left breast making her jump. Again she started to struggle and cry even harder.
"Scream for me," he whispered his hot breath making Hermione's stomach tighten.
A loud yell interrupted his dirty thoughts. It sounded as if they have an unwanted guest. He grabbed a handful of Hermione's hair while his other hand gripped his wand tightly. The camp lit up from the spells that were being cast. It appeared like they were being ambushed by a group of the Order but Greyback could only sense one person. The intruder was fast and deadly accurate both deflecting spells and quickly casting their own. The werewolf gave a growl as the person would disapparate looking like a shadow of death. Ron and Harry couldn't see what was happening but could hear the chaos around them.
Greyback was deciding what to do if it was whom he thought it was then running was out of the question. His victim started to struggle but he only tightened his grip till she cried out in pain. Before he could form a proper plan the black shadow came between him and Hermione.
Damn! There goes my hostage. He thought angrily.
He swung hard hoping to inflict damage to the person. He felt his claw rip something hard off but it only slowed down the attacker but didn't stop them completely. Whatever Greyback had management to take off fell near the fireplace making a light thud noise. Hermione quickly hid the object in her bag once she realized what it was.
Before Greyback had a chance to move the shadow slammed into him. He howled in pain clutching his side that was now bleeding profusely. He growled loudly and searched trying to pinpoint his attacker.
Once he found them he apparated and then the real battle begun.
The two dark clouds slammed into each other sounding as if it was thunder. Bright lights lit up the night making it look and sound like a terrible thunderstorm. Again they slammed into each other causing a terrible boomsound.
The sky cracked and lit up in different colors. Had it been another situation it would be quite an entertaining sight but Hermione knew that this fight could very well be to the death. It reminded her of the stories she would read about the Greeks and how Titans and Gods would fight in the sky while the mere mortals just watched in fear and awe. Right now she was playing the role of the mortal, which left her feeling powerless and useless at the same time. The mystery wizard seemed to have the upper hand moving faster and gave another slam into Greyback. Another bright light lit up the whole camp making the young witch close her eyes for a second. She could see that Greyback had lost. He seemed to have been knocked unconscious as he was falling down to earth, literally. He hit the ground breaking bones on contact and kept sliding because of the acceleration the rocks and earth was scraping his flesh.
He stopped right at the feet of the young witch who was still shocked at what had happened. His breathing was very labored. She could see that Greyback's chest was filled with open gashes and he had bruises all over his body. He was missing a lot of hair that normally covered his body and the ones that were still intact were singed. His face was so swelled up she believed he couldn't see anything and he was missing some teeth. One of his legs was twisted in an unnatural angle and she suspected that his right shoulder was probably dislocated.
It all came to one conclusion: Greyback not only lost the fight but he got his ass handed to him.
"Hey Mione come and untie us yea?" Ron coughed. He seemed almost disappointed that he either wasn't part of the action or that he couldn't at least see what had happened.
"Yeah be right there," Hermione said absentmindedly. She looked around but knew that whoever rescued them was gone. She slowly touched the object once more and hid it before she set her friends free. They called in some help from Aurors who were surprised at the conditions of Greyback and his pack. They looked to the Golden Trio for some answers but were surprised that even the cleverest witch in ages couldn't quite explain all that had happened.
After that event the Trio all went to the Burrow to rest. The boys noticed Hermione's strange behavior but just dismissed it as her trying to investigate their mystery savior. Once alone in her room Hermione pulled out the object. She held it to the light in admiration and studied the details.
It was smooth yet hard, possibly made from dragon's horns. She traced the designs it had which were beautifully drawn on. Black swirls that resembled flower stems with thorns. Her fingers touched the deep gashes that Greyback's claws left on it knowing that the owner wasn't harmed because it had done its job.
It was a Death Eater's mask.
She opened her notes that the Order had created about Voldemort's army. There were hundreds of pictures of masks that connected them to their owners but Hermione didn't need to look for long. She saw that the mouth gave an eerie picture like it had been sewn shut as if being a Death Eater was just to follow orders and dare not speak out of terms.
The mask belonged to Bellatrix.
Hermione stared at the ceiling a million questions going through her mind. How did Bellatrix find her? Why did she leave? What did she want?
Her mind ached from trying to find the missing link when...
"I-I can't."
"We were always raised to repay the debt. So until I meet that there are some rules that are created."
"I want to be able to visit whenever I want."
Tears welled up in the witch's eyes but she refused to cry.
Bella only saved me to pay back the stupid debt.Hermione thought sadly. She doesn't want to see anymore.
That explained why the dark eyed witch had left as soon as Greyback lost. She saw the perfect opportunity, took it and left.
Come on Hermione. You know there was a chance Bella wouldn't return those feelings .She told you herself. You're just a silly bookworm that has no idea how to associate with people. You're a bloody fool.
It didn't make the pain lessen nor make it any easier. She hugged the mask tightly to her chest imagining that it was Bella herself. It smelled like her and Hermione inhaled it remembering when they were on the couch and how close they were. The night came and went but that did not mean sleep came easily for the heart broken witch.
You make me wanna die,
I'll never be good enough.
You make me wanna die
And everything you love
Will burn up in the light
Every time I look inside your eyes.
You make me wanna die.
