A/N: This chapter is amazing. It took me three days to write the first few paragraphs, then it just came to me. I couldn't stop writing. OMG! And this one's long too. I becoming a better author. Good for me. I really won't delete it now. Thanks Morgaine00000016 and Beth5572. I would have deleted the story if no one reviewed. I hope you like this chapter. Skiopped means skipped and hopped! By the way, book six and seven won't be like the books because I thought of this before they were written. In fact book five was brand new when I made this. Oh, and to those of you think this is a Mary Sue, it's not.
Love you all!
Jenny.
Gone
Over a two year time period Hermione and Abigale became the very best of friends. Hermione could just burst into Abigale's house, or vise versa, any day or anytime.
One day on Abigale's seventh birthday, Abigale came in happy head held high. Her eyes teasing with royalty. Her walk with authority. She didn't wait to see if her parents were up, she just ran around the conner, up the stairs, and into Hermione's room.
She beamed at Hermione when she reached the top. Hermione hopped up and looked her, eyes wondering, what is she doing? Abigale grabbed Hermione's hand and pulled her up.
"Come on, Hermione. My birthday remember. Last week." she seemed to reminisce, "You said exactly to the word, 'We'll go to the park and to the movie, oh heck! We'll do everything.' Remember."
"Yeah! Come on let's go." She ran down the hall to her parent's room and said loud enough to hear down the hall, "Mum! Abigale's birthday! Can I go?!"
"Can you speak in full sentences." she joked.
Hermione joked back, "I guess, mum."
"Get out of here, go have fun"
She ran down the hall, back to Abigale, giggling. They linked arms and skipped down the stairs. It felt like they were above the world and nothing could touch. They skiopped down the road, soon arriving at Abigale's house, they laughed and giggled.
Abigale's mum was on the couch. She smiled as we walked in. "Hey mum," Abigale interjected, "Can we go to the movies alone."
"Sure, I'll drop you off their, but we're going," she paused, "To the zoo together. Alright."
"Okay mum, but only if Hermione comes too."
"I don't see why not. As long as her parents approve."
"They do. They said I could spend the whole day here, even a sleep over." She beamed as wide as she could. It was like a toothy grin. Abigale couldn't help, but explode with laugher. She was enjoying herself.
They filed into the car, just as her brother burst outside and yelled, "You're not leaving without me, are you?!'
"It's your birthday, can he come too?"
"Sure he can, but not my twin. I think we're from different planets, even if we are twins. Alex is so annoying."
Her mum let off too high a pitch laughed, but Abigale and Hermione didn't notice. Her oldest brother climbed into the car. "So, Abby, you chose a movie yet."
"No. I just want to watch something a little scary, not too scary."
"I know the perfect movie."
"Now, think about it, Micheal. Your definition of scary and theirs are way different."
"I know mum." She pulled into a place and Hermione and Abigale jumped out. Micheal stood up slowly and scanned the parking lot, like he was looking for someone. He seemed to not find them because he followed them to the theater.
When they stepped inside he jump for joy. Someone ran toward him. "Oh Micheal! I thought you vood me up. You vaid veven vharp." She had an accent like she came from up north in Sweden.
"Well, my lil sis ran us behind, by getting her friend, but I don't blame her." Was he flirting, Abigale thought. She laughed under her breath. Her brother didn't hear it and continued, "So what movie do you want." Now she was steaming. It was her birthday.
"Vell, isn't your vister's birthday. Ve vould chose." she replied coyly.
"Of course. What do you want sis?"
"What was the name of that perfect movie?"
"The Realm."
"Michael!" She hit him with her purse. "You know that movie's to vary for them! You are unbelievable!" Quite a few heads had been turned to the scene. Michael was crying. "Of all the vings! Oh! Vis is the worst! Michael! I van't believe this!"
"No! Baby! I wanted us to see that! I wanted them to see," he didn't seem to know. He thought quick, "Through Her Eyes!"
"Oh, vorry Michael."
"It's okay babe." Most of the people stopped watching. The manager, who seemed ready to throw them out, relaxed. We walked up to the ticket booth and Michael bought two tickets for The Realm and two for Through Her Eyes.
Our movie started just a little while before theirs did. Abigale and Hermione got seats in the front row. This was only their fifth time in the theater, and their first time alone. They remembered they didn't have any drinks or popcorn. It hadn't started yet, so they ran back to Michael.
"Michael, we don't have any popcorn or money."
"I only have my money, so here."
"I'll pay you back." Hermione promised.
"You don't have to." Abigale knew he was just saying that because of his girlfriend being there.
"Oh Michael! You're vo veet!"
They walked to the concession stand and got their snacks. They rushed back to the movie and found their spots still open. They rushed down to them. About five minutes later the movie started.
Through Her Eyes was about a kitten. In the beginning, she is lost and confused. She falls asleep behind a waterfall. A little girl finds her and takes her home. She wants to keep the kitten.
The kitten is confused as to what all the human items are. She was running from something, but she didn't remember what it was.
Throughout the movie you hear the cat's thought. The cat doesn't seem to comprehend what the humans were saying, but like a child, slowly, she learns.
She becomes more and more remarkable. Soon she was mewing in syllables. She said things like, "Meow-meow, meow." meaning dinner please, or "Mew meow mew mew meow-meow." I want to go swimming.
One days, months after Ashley found the cat, it said, "I remember." The girl turned on her heels and stared disbelievingly. "What?!"
"I remember what I was running from." A knock came to the front door. Then they heard the wood splinter as someone broke it down. The cat let off a high pitched hiss.
Two men pounded into Ashley's room. One said, "You've stolen our cat and we'd like it back now. If you don't cooperate we can and will take her by force."
The cat's eyes gleamed with terror. Ashley stood defensively in front of her new best friend. The men took this as a challenge. They broke to the offense.
Soon they had the cat and Ashley wouldn't stand for it. The cat scratched and bit and clawed, but the man held her tight.
Ashley called to her, "No! Kitty!"
"Ashley!" They had her. They were just out of earshot, but Ashley continued to call Kitty's name. She ran after Kitty following the men.
In the end Kitty was shot because one of the men pointed a gun at Ashley, but Kitty wouldn't let her get shot.
She hissed and jumped at the man with a gun. She knocked him over, but it wasn't enough. He aimed at her and shot just as she hit him.
At that point both Hermione and Abigale were bawling.
Ashley ran to Kitty. Kitty asked, her dying words were, "Are you hurt?"
They had a funeral for Kitty. The last words were said by the pasture, "And may Kitty's spirit and bravery live on through the generations. God rest with Kitty."
The the end flashed on the screen. Not a person in the theater wasn't crying, and if anyone wasn't, it was because they had no heart.
They walked out of the theater, Michael and his girlfriend's movie wasn't over yet, so they decided to spend what they had left of Michael's money at the arcade.
When Michael finally came out they were broke. His girlfriend looked terrified. She noticed we had been crying and she sympathized, "Oh, vas it a vad movie. The Realm vas frightful."
"Mum said we could see two movies, so we'll watch this one together."
"Oh, van ve vee Through Her Eyes. It vounds vo good. I mean you vant."
"Okay. We'll watch Through Her Eyes again."
We cried twice as much the second time through. She was positively bawling on Michael's shoulder. Michael just patted her sympathetically. Abigale knew he was loving it.
They walked out of the theater and she saw even Michael had cried. Their mum noticed it and said, "What happened to a scary movie."
"Well, we chose a sad movie mum."
Abigale said voice wavering, "Poor Kitty." Michael leaned over hugged her tight.
"It's okay lil sis. At least she died at peace knowing Ashley was alright."
"Yeah, I guess"
They all filed back into the car. Michael's girlfriend was going to the zoo with us. In fact she would be spending the rest of the day with us, even the night.
The drive to the zoo took two hours. Alex wouldn't shut up the whole time. He started with, "So, what kind of fun are we three going to have tonight." Abigale toned him out eventually.
When they arrived at the zoo, they walked pass every animal without stopping. They came to a brick wall and stopped. Everyone walked through, but Hermione. She was nervous. She couldn't just walk through the wall, could she?
Abigale walked back through and grabbed her hand. On the other side were odd creatures. Trolls, dragons, unicorns, goblins, and Pegasuses. That's just a few of the beautiful animals that were there.
Once they reach the other side of the zoo, Heidi had already bragged, "I've vridden a Pegasus vany time vefore. They're native too my vomeland." Abigale realized why Hermione's brother loved her so much. Her voice floated like air. Her hair bounced a jumped in the wind, showing off her tender soft features. Her gray-blue eyes looked like snow. When she smiled her teeth showed and they were naturally white. Any boy would fall head over heels in love with her upon a glance.
On this side were some bathrooms and another brick wall in between the bathrooms. They all turned after Abigale's mum said, "Anyone have the use the lavatory." She pause, "no then let's go."
Hermione took one look back at the last animal, a baby dragon. Cute, but still dangerous. That's when it caught her eye.
She swiveled, so that she faced the wall. There was a crack in the wall, but what she saw through the crack was what caught her eye. A small creature sat slumped against a wall behind the other wall. She walked closer.
It jumped forth and put its eye against the wall. It was big and full of sadness. She announced, "I do have to go to the lavatory. Just go to the car and wait for me." She ran to the bathroom and waited a few moments.
She walked out and looked into its sad, sad eye. She lost her balance and fell against the wall. Somehow, she fell through the wall and it looked at her. He was beautiful.
It was, what appeared to be, a wingless dragon. His eyes filled with happiness.
With its big, now happy, eyes it begged me to get on him. He didn't seem dangerous, so she gingerly climbed up onto his back. He jumped to the air and broke through the ceiling of his little camber.
Though he flew right above all the muggles none noticed him.
We flew over the parking lot, and as if by a signal, Abigale's family drove off. He flew and lopped all the way to Abigale's house. When he landed in the back yard, Hermione felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Abigale ran outside crying. "Oh Hermione. You shouldn't have ridden him."
"Why not."
"Because, he tricks young girls into ridding him. Then when they try to escape he kills them." Abigale added on an even sadder note, "Hermione, we're moving."
"What!?"
"I'm sorry." she spluttered. She turned around and ran back inside crying. The wingless dragon walked up to her and looked at her. Hermione now had tears in her eyes. He noticed how sad she was and he sympathized with her. He knew something was wrong. She hugged him and he pulled her on his back. Then he took off at full speed.
When he stopped they were on a mountain top. Hermione smiled at the beauty she looked down upon. She turned to him. She could swear he wore a smile on his face. It was gentle and teasing.
She jumped when she realized how far away they had to be from her house. Then she looked into his eyes and realized just how beautiful they were. She smiled and whispered, "I love you. Will you take me home now, please."
He stood up and his black scales gleamed as he arched his neck and pulled her onto his back. She smiled once more as he lifted from the ground.
Soon they stood in Her back yard and, just like she would have ended the perfect date, she leaned over and pecked him on the cheek. He smiled once more and flew off.
She ran inside and declared the bad news to her parents. They sympathized, but it didn't make her feel as good as when he did it. She cried in her room all night, not sleeping once.
The next day a surprise came to her door. A young boy. They made friends and played all day.
At the end of the day he said, "Sorry your friend moved away." She turned on her heels. She hadn't mentioned that part. In fact, while playing with him, she had temporarily let it slip her mind.
He noticed his mistake and ran off. She gently tilted her head and walked back in her house.
She felt a weird sense of presence when she fell asleep that night. She couldn't sleep at first, but soon she grew tired and sleep overtook her.
