In the Dark
Chapter Third-teen
In the Dark
Hermione was tied and gagged to a tree in the forest. The bight full moon showed through a thick area of trees. Porthos walked up to the witch and lowered a black hood from his head and his blonde hair shined in the moon light.
The vampire traced Hermione's jaw line. "Ah Severus's blood bound. He tried so hard to protect you. But he failed. You did exactly as I hoped. You left the protective walls of the castle. Well done. I must say."
Hermione turned her face away from the vampire.
"So feisty. But let me tell something my dear. You've sent your lover to his death."
The witch's eyes widened and she screamed against the gag.
"I'm sorry but I couldn't understand you. Such a same."
"You bastard!" Hermione yelled against the gag. "I'll kill you first!"
Prothos raised his hand and struck her across the face. She screamed when it made contact.
"We had a deal. No harm was going to come to her." Ron said.
"Harm means like," he pulled a dagger from his robes, "cutting her," and carefully traced her jaw with the dagger not to pucker the smooth flesh.
Hermione narrowed her eyes at her once best friend. She struggled against the robes. She screamed at the burns the ropes caused on her body. They were magically charmed to burn when one fought against them. She didn't care. She wanted to tackle the red head.
"She will soon be yours Ron. We must wait for Severus." Porthos said and pulled out a wooden stake and handed it to the head. "Remember through the heart. But first you must mark her and make her drink your blood. And then kill him."
He nodded and took the stake from his creator.
"Porthos!" yelled Severus as he walked up to the vampire. "You will cause no harm to her!"
He smiled, "Oh I will not cause harm to your lover," he motioned to Ron. "But he will"
Hermione screamed against the gag and tears rolled down her face. She could do nothing only watch in horror as her lover was going to be sent to his death. By the wizard she once called a friend!
"Porthos I believe you have live long enough. It's time end your rein as a creator."
"You don't have the heart to fight me."
Severus narrowed his eyes at his creator. He had waited years for the vampire and he was ready to stop him.
Name your terms." Porthos told the wizard.
"Weasley causes no harm to Hermione and does not lay a hand on her. He doesn't interfere."
"As you wish."

Harry busted through the headmaster's office starling Professor McGonagall. Professor Dumbledore looked at the boy and noticed something was dreadfully wrong. He didn't ask any questions. The wizard knew what was happening. This was his school and he knew what was going on at all times.
"Albus what's wrong?"
"Come Tabby I feeling we will be needed in hospital wing some time tonight."
Harry could only nodded in agreement. The trio left the office.

Severus quickly ducked when Porthos swung his fist at the Potions Master. He rolled his eyes at his creator. For someone that's been around to centuries was very stupid hand to hand combat was pointless.
Severus smirked to his self. He had created a potion with Hermione's help that would slow down an vampire's reaction time. He just had to get close enough to Porthos to throw it into his face. Than drive a stake through his heart.
Porthos lunged at the wizard and he kicked his feet out from under him. Porthos hit the ground.
"Now!" Hermione yelled through her gag.
Severus pinned him down onto the ground and forced his mouth open. He poured the green liquid down his throat. The Potions Master pulled a sharp stake from his robes and drove it through his heart. Severus rose to his full elegant height with blood on his hands and black robes.
"Hey Snape! We're not done yet!" Ron yelled as he held Hermione to his chest with dagger to her throat. "Now what are going to do? If you come closer I transform her. Than I'll kill you. Or I can just kill you both."
Severus moved closer and the red head cut her neck just enough to brake the flesh. He lick the blood. Hermione screamed out in pain. He stopped and realized that the youngest male Weasley had finally snapped. He had to move quickly.
He saw the stake sticking out of his robe's pocket. Severus quickly moved Hermione out of Ron's grasp and stabbed the red head through the heart. He fell to the forest floor dead.
Severus turned and found Hermione screaming through the gag. He looked and saw the dagger embedded in her right side. He quickly kneeled down beside her. He removed the gag and brushed her hair from her face.
"I have to remove the dagger. I can't heel this type of wound it's a sliver dagger."
Hermione nodded through her flowing tears. She gripped his hand and he yanked the dagger out. The witch screamed out in pain.
"I have to transform you , love. Are you ready?"
"Yes," whispered Hermione.
Severus brushed her brown curly hair away from her neck. He showed his fangs and bit down into her flesh. She screamed in pain. The vampire stopped before her heart gave out. He bit his wrist and held it up to her lips.
"Drink my blood bound and be a creature of the dark."
Hermione weakly grabbed his wrist and drank his blood and she dropped his wrist. She pasted out. Severus looked at the amount of blood flowing onto the forest floor. He took the gag and tied it around waist. The wizard carefully picked her up and they made their way to the castle. Hoping it wasn't too late.
Hit it!!
