Chapter 4

~*~

Hermione sat up in bed the whole night. She was to frightened to go to sleep. 'What if I fall asleep and I get bit?!' she kept asking herself. So, now it was finally morning and Hermione looked stoned as hell. "Hermione, you don't look so good…" Both Lavender and Ginny stated as they gave Hermione a concerned glance. "I was up last night. Just couldn't sleep…" Hermione replied with a big yawn. She rubbed her eyes and trailed off the bathroom. She was going to need some major cover-up. "Ok, well, we'll see you later, Hermione. Try to get some rest later," Ginny said while leaving. Hermione was lucky they didn't have any classes today. She took a shower, got dressed, and put some make-up on. As she looked for her eye-liner, she remembered she had lent it to Faith a few days ago. "Faith?!" she called, "Do you have my eye--Where the hell are you, Faith?!" She looked right and left , but Faith was no where to be found. Hermione sighed, it was getting harder and harder to keep up with Faith. "Oh fuck it," Hermione said forgetting about the eye-liner and then started down to the Great Hall for a good breakfast.

"Hey Hermione," called Harry and Ron from the Gryffendor table. She sat next to them and put her head down on the table. "Hermione, no offense or anything, but you look like shit." Harry laughed. "You don't have to tell me that," Hermione said in a muffled voice. "I think I'm going to skip breakfast and just go read outside. I'll see ya guys later." Hermione walked out into the court yard in the back of the school. She seemed totally oblivious to the fact Draco was right behind her. She was to tired to noticed anything; even the bench that she was about to trip over. THUD, Hermione fell right on the cement. "Silly mud blood. You better watch where your going or you'll kill yourself," Draco laughed while helping Hermione up. She didn't say anything, she just continued wondering aimlessly around the beautiful court yard. Draco saw she wasn't in the mood to joke around today, so he left the tired Hermione alone. She walked around and then, without noticing, walked into a wall. Well, not a wall, but the Astronomy Tower. It was a tall, old building that had green vines twisted around it. It had a rustic beauty. Hermione had never seen it before, and being the curious girl she was, she descended the stair case to the top. It took her a good 10 minutes to reach the top. When she finally saw a small, wooden door she was panting. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and opened the door. "Wow…" she said as she entered a huge room filled with candles, incense, and other things that Hermione didn't know what they were. But they were beautiful. She gazed around a bit and then sat down on the edge of the only window of the Tower. She gave a sigh as she over looked the court yard from the Tower. It was amazing. "H-H-Hermione?" said a voice that came from a far corner. Hermione turned her head and got up to find the voice. "Oh my god! Faith?!" Hermione screeched as she hugged Faith. "Faith, Are you okay? What the hell happened to you?" Faith didn't answer. She just latched on to Hermione and started crying. "It was all so horrifying, Hermione! I-I-I've been raped!!!!" she cried.

"Its okay, Faith. Everything is going to be okay. We need to get out of here…now," Hermione said while helping Faith up. She was severely beaten. With scars on her legs, arms and on her face. At least, those were the only visible scars. "W-w-where are we going?" Faith questioned.

"I'm going to take to Madam Smith (OC. She's the new nurse), is that okay?"

"NO! It's not okay! I'll be fine. I promise! No…no I wont. But I can't go! Please don't make me go, Hermione," she begged on her hands and knees.

"Why?! You need to go! What if your pregnant?!" Hermione screamed.

"I-I just can't, okay?" Faith said.

"Alright, fine. We wont go. But at least tell me what happened."

"Ok…I guess. You deserve to know…even though you really shouldn't… It all started when I first had that dream: That night I had the dream, I was bitten…I was bitten by a Vampire. But I'm not exactly sure who. I don't remember everything all that well. All I remember was walking the halls late at night, trying to find a book I had dropped. And then POOF! Out of no where I was tackled and bitten. Then I was brought to the here, the Astronomy Tower. I was surrounded by people. I didn't recognize anyone because they were all wearing black and were really pale. And it was really dark out. So then a female Vampire comes up to me and checks my neck. She nodded to some other guy, I think the leader, and then she picked me up and took me outside. There, she taught me how to hunt and taught me everything there was to know about being a Vampire. Trust me, there's a lot. So I was out all night; hunting and learning. And then lived out the next day as normal. Then, last night, I went out to hunt. I really needed it, I had been craving fresh blood all day long. Now, I was a new Vampire, and wasn't exactly knowledgeable on all the rules. So, there I was, walking about, looking for food and I was tackled. Tackled by a fellow Vampire. He covered my mouth with tape, so I wouldn't scream and bite. He threw me over his shoulder and brought me to the Tower. There, he threw me down and stripped me of my clothing, and his. Then he beat me a few times because I keep moving and fighting. He gave me a blow to the head and I finally gave up. He inserted himself in me. I struggled and struggled a little more but it was no use. I WAS RAPED! I was helpless…There was nothing I could do. When he was done, I asked, 'why?' and he said, 'The dream…' that was it…and then left. Just like that. I was left there…alone and beaten very badly. So here I am," she finished and began to cry again. Hermione cradled her in her arms. "That's why I cant go to the nurse. I'm a Vampire! Promise, promise not to tell anyone!"

"I promise, Faith. But I have a question…what did that dream have to do with anything? Was it Draco who raped you?"

"No, I know for a fact it wasn't him. It didn't sound like him. And if it was him, I would have been able to tell because of his eyes. They would have shone brightly against the moon light. And these eyes were blue. Bright blue…and he sounded funny. Not all cool like Draco. I'm not even sure if Draco is a Vampire. It doesn't matter anymore…I'm fucking doomed… all because that damned dream…."She said while shaking her head.

"What the hell is this dream all about?!" Hermione yelled in frustration.

"Well, the Vampire that taught me how to hunt and everything talked about a dream. A vivid dream that meant the means to the end. She said that the dream would contain the dreamer, in this case me, screwing some guy. The guy in the dream doesn't really mean anything. Although I thought it was funny it was Draco. But anyways, she said the dream meant that something bad would happen to you…a series of bad things that lead up to the ultimate death…"she trailed off. She was obviously scared.

"I thought Vampires couldn't die?" Hermione questioned.

"Well, they can…not by a human, but by a fellow Vampire. And not just any Vampire, The King Vampire…"

"Well, why did you get the dream?"

"I'm not exactly sure…I think I did something wrong. I don't know. All I know is by this time tomorrow…I-I probably w-won't be alive…" she started crying again. So hard she began to suffocate. "Its ok, its…not okay. What are we going to do? What can we do?"

"There's nothing we can do. Only something I can do. I would rather die a peaceful death, then to be murdered by the King Vampire…So, tonight, I'm going to jump from the Tower. And I want you to come and stay with me for my final hours. Please, Hermione, I need you…" Faith pleaded. Hermione argued with herself in her head, 'She's like my best friend. I cant let her do that! I cant! But…'

"Isn't there a way to stop the 'King Vampire'"?

"There's absolutely no fucking way! I'd rather die my way, a much more peaceful way, then to be ripped apart! Listen, I'm going to miss you, but this is the only way…You have to understand. You have to be there for me," Faith said while taking Hermione's hand into her own, "Please…" Faith added. Tears welled up in Hermione's eyes. Her best friend was about to commit suicide tonight…and there was nothing she could do to stop it…She knew should couldn't take on the King Vampire. It would cause more trouble. And either way Faith would die. At least this way, she would be happier. "Please," Faith said again and squeezed Hermione's hand. Hermione nodded and hugged Faith tightly. This would be their last day together and Hermione wanted to make it a memorable one.

*YAY! I'm done *parties* Well, I bet you all thought it was Draco who raped her. Well sucks for you because it wasn't! You all think you know what's going on, but there's many twists and turns. Just wait and you'll all see. Sorry if this Chapter wasn't as long but its good enough. It's like 11 and I have plans tomorrow. So I'll update when I can. REVIEW*
