A/N: hey, I'm sorry about the time between this chapter and my last update but I have SEVERE writers block and nothing has been coming to mind. I hope that the length of this chapter will appease my very loyal readers for a few reviews, even if for suggestions for later chapters.
Chapter 11: Enter a New Chess Piece.
Almost two months have passed since Rin was turned and Carlisle and Jasper were impressed with her control, they were also curious to the fact that she didn't drink either human or animal blood. She would fight tooth and nail, saying that she wasn't hungry, but all of them saw it; her eyes became as black as her step-fathers hair and when Edward had her in his lap during the night as they all talked, she would bury her nose in the crook of his neck and groan.
Jasper confronted Edward about it and told him of his worries and Edward just smiled at his brother, truly thankful that he was worried about his mate. He chuckled a bit but promised to get Rin to drink something, both went to Carlisle and that lead to the only reason that Lilly had all of the younger children out of the manor that day. Carlisle, Severus, Lucius, Draco, Jasper and Emmett all chased Rin through the manor and eventually trapped her in a corner of the library; Edward had a goblet of animal blood in his hand and he stepped forward, stopping short because of the look that flashed in his mates eyes, fear.
'Rin, you need to drink. If you don't, you could attack one of the children.' Jasper pleaded, sending calming waves toward the hybrid girl, but her fear was greater.
Edward looked over his shoulder to Carlisle and after the elder Vampire nodded, took a step forward again; his little mate whimpered, she knew things that the others didn't and the things she knew, they would likely not understand. Her eyes pleaded with her mate to stop but all of the male Vampires were more worried about her attacking one of the children.
'Edward, please; don't make me.' She whimpered softly, one bloody tear falling down her face.
Edward continued to advance but his steps began to falter as Rin pressed herself against the wall behind her, her eyes flashed with fear and a knowledge that she kept to herself; he stopped as he turned his head toward the door.
Alice burst in not a second later, running toward the group and placing herself firmly between the men and Rin.
'Alice, now's-'Carlisle began but Alice cut her off.
'Don't do this; she'll die if you make her drink that.' Alice stated firmly.
Rin looked relieved that someone understood, even if said person understood because they saw her death if she would have drunk the animal blood. Edward's face contorted into a look of pain as he saw the vision that Alice had had, dropping the goblet on the carpet; he fell to his knees and began to whisper, mostly to himself but to Rin as well.
'I'm sorry my love; I-I, what was I about to do?' Jasper flinched as he felt the self hatred coming from his brother and Rin flew to him.
'Edward, this was something that I should have told you; long before this happened. I will die if I drink the blood of a human or an animal; the only blood I can survive on is that of my mate.' Edward looked at her, shock covering his face.
She smiled at him and let her occlumency shields fall, allowing him to see all of the mental pictures that she could create; his eyes smouldered as he looked at her, wrapping his arms around her waist, he picked her up and left to their room. Draco stared after them in awe and envy.
'Goddamnit! That guy is so lucky that he can read her mind on a whim!' he snarled, the other Vampires only laughed and shook their heads.
Rain thudded against the window panes of Snape Manor and all of the residents relaxed for the time being, though that they were laid back didn't mean that some weren't scheming and plotting.
Rin was holed up in the library with her stepfather (Well not technically yet), her brother and his mate.
'Alright, we need a plan of attack. I wanna get these guys hard but slowly so that they don't know what's happened until we have control.' Rin said, looking at the males across the table.
'Going for them one at a time seems to be the best option; but how to go about it?' Severus supplied.
'I know enough about Ron, Ginny and Hermione to get them where we want them. But Dumbledore is the tough one to get.' Harry hissed, his blood boiling at the thought of the people that betrayed him.
'I can handle that.' Severus said, smirking evilly.
'Right so what to do? And who's first on the agenda?' Draco asked as he tightened his hold on his mate.
'We need to find out-'Rin stopped short when she heard a knock at the door of the library.
'Yes.' Rin said, granting whoever it was entrance.
'Mistress Rin, Tipsy is sorrys for interrupting yous but theres peoples here for yous.' The small house-elf squeaked.
She looked up and saw the four figures behind the house-elf and smiled, she gestured them to sit down and make themselves comfortable. 'Edward, bring everyone into the library please.' She thought, knowing her beloved heard her.
'So, young Fairy; what has happened since last?' Azriel asked as the other three sat down.
'A lot Azriel; I have my daughter back, the vampires that were after me are no more and through an unfortunate event, I am a hybrid.' She replied, smiling as her mate and the rest of the family walked in and sat down.
'So, this is your mate then?' Anya asked, looking Edward up and down as he stood beside Rin.
'Yes, he is.' Rin smiled, gripping his hand and giving it a light squeeze.
Rin felt a sharp tug on her sleeve and turned her head to see Dorian and Evee standing to her left, obviously wanting to hug their mummy; she smiled and lifted them both into her lap and hugged them close to her chest.
'Now, what have you got planned for this war?' Draven said, smiling at the two children in the hybrids lap.
'Either you wage complete war on your enemies and die or you attack slowly, taking out one critical member of their side at a time.' Rin replied, smirking.
'Ingenious, when do we start?' Lucas asked, his amber eyes sparkling with mischief.
'First to go is Ronald Weasley.'
Ron Weasley walked the halls of Hogwarts with a smile on his face, Hermione had agreed to marry him and she had asked him to go to her private rooms and wait for a special engagement gift.
He had practically run toward her private rooms in anticipation but his somewhat logical mind had told him to drag out the trip and then the prize would be greater.
He neared the portrait that guarded the brunette's rooms and he prepared himself for what was to come, checking his breath, straitening his clothes and fixing his hair before speaking the password and entering the dark chambers.
''Mione? Are you here?' he called out to the darkness, when he got no answer; he shrugged his shoulders and cast a lumos charm on the room.
When his eyes adjusted to the light of the room, he had only seconds to think before he was crash tackled to the ground; he struggled to get the large body off of him but it was in vane.
'Stop struggling or I'll have to hurt you.' A smooth and deadly voice rang over his ears.
Ron looked at the person on top of him and all but screamed in fear, the amber eyes that looked back at him sparkled in malicious glee; the rough features of the man above him screamed not human but his mind was in so much panic that he couldn't focus on what the guy was. Suddenly the man was off of him and they were no longer in Hermione's rooms, shadows had surrounded them and as soon as they had dissipated Ron found himself chained to a wall in a cell.
'What in the name of Merlin is going on?' he shouted, tugging on the restraints on his wrists.
'I wouldn't do that Ronnikins, unless you want a werewolf on your case.' Ron's head snapped in the direction of the voice and watched in anger as Potter walked out of the shadows.
'Potter, what is the meaning of this? Why am I here?' he demanded, pulling on his restraints as if to get to Harry.
'Well, the reason you are here is quite simple really; revenge for what you have done to me and my family.' Harry's eyes darkened as he stepped closer to the red head and drew his wand.
'Now, it's time for pay back.' He hissed as he waved his wand and sent a cutting hex toward his prisoner.
Rin and Edward were sitting in one of the many parlours of the manor when they heard the screams, a smile graced Rin's face as she snuggled into her mate's side; Edward looked down at her and smiled contentedly, everything was perfect in his life now. He lent over Rin and kissed her temple before pulling back and relaxing further into the couch, both creatures began to slip into a comfortable sleep when a loud knocking was heard at the doors of the mansion.
Rin jumped to her feet and looked confusedly at her mate then dashed out of the parlour. As she ran down the halls, Edward caught up to her and they both reached the entrance hall just as Lilly was opening the door.
'Is this the residence of the Snape Family?' a feminine voice asked.
Lilly nodded in reply and opened the door further to allow the person entrance, Azriel walked into the entrance hall and stood beside Rin and Edward to greet the visitor but as the person took a step, they fell to the ground.
Lilly and Rin were at the persons' side in seconds and they both began to treat the wounds that they each found. They tried to talk to the person that lay in front of them but they were out cold.
'She's a nymph, woodland nymph to be precise and the residue of the magical signature screams Dumblefuck did this to her.' Lilly hissed; her eyes flicked toward her mate as he entered the hall.
'Azriel, give us a hand and lift her up; follow me once you've got her.' Rin's voice was like ice and the temperature around her dropped by at least ten degrees.
Azriel walked over to the limp nymph lying on the floor and lifted her into his arms, the second his skin came into contact with hers a jolt of fire ran through his veins, igniting his blood; he knew then that he had found his soul-mate. He followed Rin up the stairs and through various corridors before they stopped in front of French double-doors and Rin opened them to reveal a vast bedroom.
Azriel walked over to the bed and placed the nymph on it, allowing her body to sink slightly into the mattress before Rin pulled him away from her side and pushed him out of the room; her magic slammed the door shut before the Veela could re-enter the room.
He paced back and forth in front of the door for hours, waiting anxiously for the young hybrid to walk through the doors and allow him to see the creature that would become his mate; he acknowledged one of the Vampires as he came and stood on the opposite side of the corridor and leaned casually on the wall.
'She's gonna be alright.' The Vampire said after a few minutes of silence, Azriel stopped pacing and looked at him.
'And how would you know this?' he all but spat, the tension ate at his nerves with every second that passed.
'When Vampires are turned, some of us develop special abilities; mine is the ability to read minds. And since my Mate is in that room with yours, I'd trust me on this.' Edward sneered defensively, he knew what the Veela was feeling but defensive behaviour was second nature to him.
Azriel took a step toward the Vampire with several curses on the tip of his tongue when the door opened and Rin walked out, a hardened glare plastered on her features.
'Azriel, do not even contemplate cursing my mate. Only warning, next time, it will be your head.' She hissed; the Veela male immediately stood down as he felt the magic surge and crack against his skin.
Severus and Lilly walked along the corridor and stopped near the three, Lilly felt the tension and walked into the room to check on the newcomer, Azriel followed closely behind and soon all five of them were standing around the bed.
'Alright, I'll tell you what we're going to do from now on. After Granger and Weaselette are dealt with, we move in on Dumbledore.' Rin said, walking into the room then exiting again.
Edward followed her and walked along side his mate until they reached their son's room.
'What's wrong love?' he asked
'Nothing, it's just that I want for all of this to be finished so that we can all go on with our lives and not have to worry about anything attacking us or the kids.' She said as they stopped outside the door.
Edward pulled his mate into his arms and held her tightly, she breathed in his scent and shivered in delight, suddenly, one of the best ideas she ever had formulated in her head. She stepped back and kissed Edward before running into the study. Edward followed her and stood still as Rin started to brew a potion on her desk and add quickening charms to the brewing process, then she walked back down to the dungeons and walked toward the cell that Harry and the Weasle were in.
'Harry, may I take some hair from your little prisoner?' she asked, a dark gleeful smile covering her lips.
'What for?' he asked cocking his head to the side and quirking an eyebrow.
'Pollyjuice.' She simply stated and the gears clicked in her brother's head and he shared her dark smile before moving to the side.
Rin walked over to the red head and lifted his chin so that he was looking into her eyes, she smiled sweetly as she ran her fingers through his hair and tugged sharply, ripping strands from his head. Ron screamed at the pain and attempted to hit the girl but she stepped back and turned to walk out the door.
'now, Hermione and Ginny; then Dumbledore.'
