Chapter 13- Raven Warner p
Bailee forced herself to calm down before Alec entered the dorm. She was sure that he had a logical explination. She sat on the sofa and waited patiently for three hours, but he never showed. p
She unhappily got up and left the dorm for dinner. When she approached the great hall Alec appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her wrist. p
"We have to talk." He said panting. p
Bailee stared at him curiously, wondering why he was so out of breath. His cheeks were flushed and he looked like he was going to pass out. p
"Let's go to the astronomy tower." He began to tug Bailee before she could argue. p
"Alec what is wrong with you?" Bailee demanded as he hauled her up the stairs quickly. They reached the tower in what could be considered a new school record. p
Alec, was looking worse than ever collapsed on the ground. "She is here…" He moaned. p
Bailee sat down beside him and started at him with puzzlement, "Who is here?"
"Raven Warner…oh..man…" P
"Alec, I don't understand, can you please explain it to me?" Bailee pleaded. p
Alec drew in a deep breath and then began his story. "Alright…when I was a boy my grandfather, Lucius Malfoy made a pact with a man from Romania called Roland Warner. They were the last remaining followers of Lord Voldermort. Once your father defeated him my grandfather tried desperately hard to resurrect Voldermort. Fortunately he was unsuccessful. Both my grandfather and Mr. Warner decided that if they could not find enough followers, they would have to produce their own." Alec hung his head and stared contently at his boots. "That's where I come in." He continued. "Raven is Roland's granddaughter and we have an…arranged marriage. At least we're suppose to, but I am NOT going to marry here. I refuse to, I don't even love her. I love you." p
Bailee felt her heart sink as she stared up at the starry sky. She had no idea what to say to Alec, "why didn't you tell me?" p
"I don't know Bailes." Alec replied, tears began to form in his eyes, "because I didn't think that we would ever actually get married." p
He reached for Bailee's hand and began to cry. It was the first time that Bailee had seen him cry. She leaned forward and hugged him tightly. p
"I guess Lucius has been watching me." p
He placed his face in Bailee's neck, letting the hot tears roll down her back. p
"Alec you don't have to marry her. It's your decision not theirs." Bailee whispered. p
Alec closed his eyes and began to cry harder, he didn't know how to explain to her that you don't say no to Lucius Malfoy. He'd "avada kedavra" you in the blink of an eye. p
"Come on let's go back to our dorm." Bailee spoke quietly. p
Alec breathed in heavily and rose to his feet. They slowly left the astronomy tower and Alec felt as if his whole world had collapsed around him. He had no idea to break to news to Bailee that they…couldn't get married. p
When they approached the portrait of Sir Ivan, a girl no taller than Bailee was standing there. She had black hair to her shoulders and dark brown eyes. She was very tan and wore a bright blue robe over a slinky black dress. She also had a huge smile plastered on her oval shaped face. p
"Alec!" She squealed running up to him and planting her lips on his. p
Alec pushed her off of him, "Raven…" he muttered. P
Raven turned and noticed Bailee standing there furiously, "who is she?" Raven wanted to know through her thick accent.p
"She is Alec's girlfriend, Bailee." Bailee spat out hotly. P
"Well not for very long." Raven replied maliciously. P
Bailee clinched her fists and her face turned red with anger. Alec grabbed her arm, "go inside, I'll be with you shortly." p
Bailee agreed angrily and went inside the dorm. She walked up to her room and sat down on her bed punching her pillows. p
"Raven I won't marry you." Alec decided firmly. p
Raven rolled her chocolate drop eyes, "I don't like it any more than you do." p
"Good then lets forget about this arrangement and get on with our lives." P
"Love to babe, however my grandfather with punish me for the rest of my life and your grandfather…well." Raven smirked, "he will hurt you…but he will kill the girl." p
Alec folded his arms and felt a whole knew flood or tears coming on. He had known Raven his entire life and he despised her, but she was always right. p
"Lets just do ourselves a favour and go along with it. The second one of our grandfathers crokes we can call it off. Get a divorce and go about our lives." p
"Fine…" p
Alec hung his head; he wasn't suppose to give in so easily. But deep down he knew he didn't have much of a choice. p
"Well I guess you better break the news to her and get my ring." p
Alec glance up at Raven, his eyes flashed with so much hatred. "Arrghh!" He roared punching his fist so hard into the wall it began to bleed. p
Raven was so startled she jumped back in surprise. He growled at her and then stormed into the dorm. He grabbed his bleeding fist and entered Bailee's room. p
"I can't marry you!" He cried. p
"Alec…what?" p
"I can't marry you." Alec fell on Bailee's bed and buried his face in his hands. p
"What do you mean?" p
"Lucius will hurt me…he will hurt me but he will kill you. 'Avada Kedavra' just like that." Alec snapped his fingers.p
"Alec…" p
He looked up at her through a mad stream of tears. "Bailee, I love you which is why I can't marry you. I can't really explain it, but I just want you to be safe from Lucius." p
Bailee through all her confusion tried desperately hard to understand. She knew that Lucius was a very deadly and lethal man, almost like Voldermort himself. p
"I am so sorry." Alec cried in a shaky voice. p
Bailee was now crying as well. She knew Alec meant well, and she appreciated that he was looking out her well being. But she had no idea how she was going to live without him. Slowly she pulled the ring off her finger while Alec tried to stop his hand from bleeding. She grabbed Alec's hand gently and placed the ring in his palm. Alec let out a loud gasping cry, like a wounded dog. p
"Please, don't…it's yours…keep it…" p
"I'd rather not if it's all the same." Bailee replied quietly. p
Alec cried harder, harder than he had cried in his entire life as he stared at the ring in his bloody hand. p
"Leave…" p
He closed his fist and slowly stood up. He walked to door feeling as there was a lot of weight on his chest. He turned and looked at Bailee but she turned her head. Alec nodded and walked out closing the door behind him. p
Bailee collapsed on her bed, drowning her pillow with her tears. P
*A/N* Finished! This chapter was hard…and in my opinion sucks, but it's a great transition into the final chapter…which is coming soon to a computer screen near you! *glamrockstar*
