So I realized while typing this that I am absolutely horrible at fight scenes haha. and after pouring through spells used in the Harry Potter world, I could only find a few I decided to use. And they aren't even the best of them. So excuse this chapter if you don't like it to much, and I really hate that my brain doesn't work well and I cant seem to portray Hermione as amazing as everyone knows she is. And if you do then YAY! haha. Characters may be OOC. But I think that's a given through most of the story. So enjoy, and please review. Its always lovely to get reviews from you!
Chapter Ten
"If I was a murderer, where would I hide?" George mumbled to himself and he and Hermione walked around Seattle.
"Anywhere abandoned I'm sure, if this is a non muggle case then they possibly wouldn't be around muggles. I doubt its the friendly neighbor Bob who someone says hello to everyday."
"Bob?" George asked with a smile.
Hermione shrugged, "First name that came to mind."
"So if we're dealing with something from our world, what do you think they're after?"
Hermione looked down an alley and then they continued on, "Who knows, the shifters have been picking up a vampire scent around La Push but the Cullens haven't said the same. Possibly a newborn vampire causing all this mess."
"Who would leave newborn vampire behind in a city this big? They should have expected something to happen."
"I could be wrong, this could be something else entirely. But with the vampire scent with the wolves and now deaths and disappearances here, it would be too much of a coincidence for it to have to connection.
"A vampire who just happens to continue scoping out where you live."
"They could not have anything to do with me. If they were turned and then abandoned then maybe they are curious. They wolves have a unique smell to the vampires and if they also smelled the Cullens when possibly passing by then perhaps they got curious."
"Then why just stay in La Push? Why not come into Forks where they Cullens live?"
"Like I said, they wolves smell horrid to vampires, possibly they keep checking out the scent, trying to determine whether the wolves are an enemy or not."
"So what is the plan?"
Hermione looked around, noticing it was getting late, "We find whoever is doing this and try to talk to them."
"And if they won't listen?"
Hermione looked at the face that did not belong to George, "If they refuse to stop killing then we'll have no choice."
George paused and then nodded, "If you're sure."
"Of course I'm not, but if it is a vampire and we just ignore it then they will continue to kill."
"And we won't." George looked around at the darkening sky, "Should you send a patronus to Esme? We'll be here a little longer than expected."
Hermione walked into an alley and pulled out her wand after making sure no one was around. She used a notice me not charm and then cast her patronus, she stared wide eyed as a mountain lion, not her otter, pranced from the tip of her wand. George raised an eyebrow and Hermione just shook her head and looked to her new patronus and said the message for him to deliver it to Esme, "We're running a bit behind but should be back soon, I hope everything is going well, give Teddy a hug for me." And with a nod from Hermione, the mountain lion took off towards Forks.
"So which way should we go?" George asked once the mountain lion was out of sight.
Hermione looked around, "Let's just walk around for now and if we hear anything strange then we will check it out."
He nodded and they continued on walking through the city.
It was dark and past ten when they were finally about to give up for the day, they had drank the polyguice more times than they wished and they were getting tired.
"Perhaps we should just go home," George suggested once they stopped near an alley.
Hermione sighed, "You're right. We've been here for hours and haven't found anything."
George reached for Hermione's hand when they both heard a noise in the alley. They exchanged a glance and then grabbed their wands, but kept them hidden from sight.
"Hello?" George said into the darkness.
Hermione looked around the empty road and saw no muggles around them but set up a muggle repelling charm just in case and then looked back to the alley, "Lumos."
"Be careful," George said as he also pulled out his wand and followed Hermione slowly into the alley.
"Is someone there? Are you alright?" Hermione asked as she moved her wand to see.
There was no answer but Hermione and George both ventured further into the alley, both of them tense.
A scuttling behind her made Hermione turn to a dumpster a few feet away from her.
"Hello?"
She walked around the dumpster and gagged at what she saw, "George."
George ran over and covered his mouth, his eyes widening, "What did this?"
In front of them was a pile of bodies, and though there was not a drop of blood, the bodies worn torn apart and limb hung in odd angels as the lifeless eyes seemed to be frozen in horror looking up at the sky.
Hermione leaned down with sad eyes, "Oh you poor people."
George took a large breath, "What did this?"
Hermione took a closer look at the bodies and grimaced, "Some one got sloppy." She pointed to some of the marks on the bodies, "Those are vampire bites, no doubt about it. Though whoever did this must have fed in a frenzy, they were braking and pulling at the limbs as they fed."
"George grimaced and move to look around the alley some more, "So it is definitely a vampire?"
Hermione frowned as she looked at the teeth marks, "These people were attacked by at least three different vampires, there are three different bites."
"So three vampires?"
Hermione stood up and sighed, "Yeah, hopefully just three. I just don't understand why the Volturi haven't taken care of it yet."
George shrugs as he lifts up some trash," Maybe they're busy."
"It's a possibility, but I doubt it."
Footsteps sounded throughout the dark alley and George and Hermione both lifted their wands, "Who's there?"
Hermione moved closer to George and looked all around her for the person that was with them, "We won't hurt you, just come out of hiding."
The footsteps sounded closer and out of the darkness came a red eyed vampire, his entire body seemed to be drenched in blood as he stalked towards them.
Hermione smiled at his but still held her wand up and quickly cast a spell to get rid of their scents to the vampire, "Hello there. We want to help you, we know what you are and can help you with your appetite."
"Hermione," George grumbled.
"Where are your friends?" She asked the vampire who was just eyeing them. She could tell this vampire was young by the way his body was still tensed and how he was covered in blood, but if he was newly turned then he would have attacked them by now.
George kept his eyes open for any other vampires that may come at them while Hermione was talking with the bloodied vampire.
"Hungry," The vampire grunted out.
"I know, it's hard at first, but my friend and I can help you. What's your name?"
The vampire just grinned and squatted as he looked between the two magical beings in front of him.
The attack came faster than Hermione had expected, Hermione and George both knew that the other two vampires were near, but neither of them even considered that they attack would come from above.
It felt as if a ton of bricks had landed on Hermione's back as she was forced to the ground, her head colliding with the concrete and pain radiating through her arm as it bent awkwardly and she heard George's cry as he was attacked.
"George!" She yelled.
Hermione heard a spell being shouted and then light as the vampire that was on top of him was blasted away, then the same to her attacker.
She jumped up quickly and ran to George's side, ignoring the pounding in her head and arm.
All the vampires jumped up and stalked towards George and Hermione, who had their wands raised.
"We are giving you one last chance," Hermione yelled, slightly breathless. "Stop attacking and we will help you. If you don't then I am sorry to tell you only two people will be walking away from here and it won't be you."
The vampires crouched down which caused George and Hermione to tense.
Everything seemed to pause for a moment as they waited for the vampires to make the first move. Seconds ticked past as Hermione and George held their wands at the ready, expecting the attack soon.
Then within one quick breath, the vampires attacked.
One ran to George as the other two ran to Hermione.
"Everte Statum," She yelled while pointing her wand at one vampire, sending him flying.
The other sped towards her and hit her arm that was already injured from the fall.
"Petrificus Totalus," The second vampire immediately froze and fell to the ground as the vampire that when flying sped back over to her. "Deprimo!" A hole was blasted through the oncoming vampires stomach.
She raised her wand once more towards his head, "Diffindo." Then she spun and ran over to George, who was just setting his vampire on fire.
"Hermione!" He pulled her into a hug.
"Are you okay?" She asked him as she pulled away to look at him.
He nods and points to the cuts lining his face an the bit of blood on his arms, "Just a few cuts, nothing I can't handle. You?"
Hermione points to her arm and shrugs, "Arm is a bit banged up but I've had worse."
"And your vamps?" He looked behind her to see the last vampire glaring at the two from his spot on the ground.
"One needs to be burned but this one isn't going anywhere just yet. Thought we could asked him a few questions."
George nodded and they walked to the last vampire and quickly undid the body bind. Hermione quickly raised her wand as he went to run, "Levicorpus."
The vampire is lifted into the air and suspended from his ankle. He growls at them and tries to reach them but can't.
"Are there any more of you?" Hermione asked him, wincing as she moved her arm.
The vampire just continued to growl at them.
George pointed his wand at the vampires face, "Was it just the three of you? Who is your creator?"
Still there was no answer as his growls got louder.
Hermione sighed and George nodded and waved his wand, "Diffindo."
The vampires head rolled to the side as his body was still suspended midair.
Hermione winced and let the body carefully fall to the ground before piling both bodies together and lighting them on fire.
Once they bodies had turned into ashes they quickly put out the fire and walked out of the alley, Hermione taking down the muggle repelling charm as they did.
"I'll mail Kingsley once we get back to the house. He can get someone from the American Ministry out here to take care of the muggle bodies."
"And what of the creator?"
"If they are causing as much trouble as their newborns then we'll deal with it when the time comes. For now, you and I are going back to Forks and you are going to get your arm fixed up."
Hermione groaned, "Oh great, can't wait."
They walked into another alley a few blocks away from where the attack happened and George grabbed a hold of Hermione's uninjured arm, "Ready?"
"Let's get this over with."
And with a loud pop, they were gone.
