"Take her. She means nothing to me," Ginny heard Draco say without emotion in his voice as she woke up before she felt someone or something bite her neck and suck her blood out. Ginny opened her eyes and closed them again. She had seen Draco watch her being bitten with a blank expression. He wasn't going to save her at all, she knew, from his expression.

Ginny knew that she had no power against a vampire so she didn't fight it for she would just get hurt. What she did, however, was the only thing she could manage in such a weak state. She whispered to him. "Draco. Draco, please help me." She opened her eyes again and silently pleaded with her eyes for him to save her.

He seemed to have heard her plead because he attacked the vampire only a second later. He nailed it to the ground with force. Ginny watched in amazement at Draco's strength. The vampire seemed overpowered by Draco.

Draco punched the vampire and it fell unconscious to the ground. "Draco," Ginny whispered and reached out her hand but drew it back again.

"Come on, we're leaving," Draco said and walked briskly towards the horse.

"Draco, if I mean nothing to you, then why'd you save me?" she asked him, slightly touching her neck where the vampire had bitten her and found red blood on her fingers. Her blood, she corrected herself.

"I couldn't have a vampire hanging with me, could I?" Draco stated carelessly, turning to get on the horse.

Ginny was mentally injured deeply at that statement. He really did loathe her. A tear slid down her face in sorrow at the thought. "Draco, why do you have to be such a bastard?! I miss your friendship!" she shouted at his back and stood up with her back straight in attempt to not show that she was weak from the blood loss..

Draco walked over to her quickly and much to Ginny's surprise, his hands slithered around her waist and he pulled her close to him. He lowered his head to kiss her. They brushed their lips together before Draco deepened the kiss.

Ginny's hands automatically circled his neck as she responded with equal lust and desire. He had obviously done a lot of kissing. He was like a professional kisser. His technique was incredible and he played with her lips and her tongue easily and confidently.

She was thwarted when he pulled away from her. Ginny felt his cold breath against her ear as he whispered: "You can't miss what you never had," in her ear.

Ginny's heart shattered into a thousand pieces with those words. Words could kill and that was what Draco had just done, emotionally. She felt as if she had been betrayed. After all, he was a Malfoy. Malfoys never care for anything but themselves and their money. The pride, the selfishness was far beyond belief. But then again, why did he save her in countless times?

They rode in comfortable silence through the forest and out to the open land where they received a gush of fresh air. It was still dark and Ginny was hoping with all her heart that the horrible vampire would still be unconscious when the sun came up, so it would burn to ashes.

Ginny's teeth hurt vastly. Her canines were growing, she could feel it. Her skin was getting very cold. It was colder than expected, colder than snow and colder than ice. She brought her fingers up to her canines which had grown to sharp fangs. As soon as she touched them, they cut her finger and it bled. She was tempted to suck the blood but knew she shouldn't.

"Draco, I'm cold," she told Draco in a trembling voice.

"You're WHAT?!" Draco exclaimed.

"Did I stutter? I said I'm cold!" she repeated harshly.

"Well, stop complaining and help me think of a way to get back to our time!" he ordered. He was so heartless. What happened to him? Did his heart freeze over night?, Ginny thought for the umpteenth time.

But a way to get back was impossible for Ginny to think of. "Any ideas?" Ginny asked hopefully.

"We could contact other witches and wizards and see if they can help us," Draco replied.

"I doubt it. How about making our own?" Ginny suggested.

Draco snorted in reply. "Yeah, I'm sure that we can make an hourglass and probably your fairy godmother shows up and with a wave of her wand, the hourglass turns to a Time Turner," Draco commented sarcastically.

Don't let him get to you, Virginia, Ginny thought bitterly to herself. "Draco, would you stop being a bastard and use your imagination!" she ordered.

"Weasel, stop whining and be useful!" Draco shot back. Ginny had almost had enough. She was so fed up that she was surprised that there wasn't smoke shooting through her ears.

"Draco, you can either shut up or treat me as your equal!" Ginny shouted at him. It surprised her as much as it surprised Draco. Ginny felt foolish afterwards when Draco stopped the horse, spun around to face her and looked her straight in the eye with a hard expression on his pale face.

"Weasley, I will not shut up because it is up to me to get us out of here and I will not treat you as an equal because that would be like inviting a Dragon to tea. We will keep our situation just as it is and we might consider making it even better by you closing your gap and only opening it when you have something sensible to say," Draco told her harshly and turned around again.

"I could say the same about you," Ginny told Draco, who chose to ignore it. This was going to be a long trip.

*****

Draco was annoyed with the Weasley. He didn't know why he even saved her. He should've just left her to become a vampire and die in the sun. He shouldn't have agreed to save her. What was he thinking? Only two days before he thought he was in love with her.

Pfft, love. Love is a weakness that no Malfoy should possess, he thought to himself.

They rode silently until they spotted quite a big English village. Draco turned to go over to it but was stopped by Ginny.

"No, Draco that's Plymouth. It's the village I was thrown out of before," she told him desperately.

Draco groaned in annoyance. "I'll just go over there and ask if there's a village near by," Draco suggested.

"In those clothes? Draco, I might be wrong but they will throw you in that prison again if you march in wearing Indian clothes. And you've gotta hide that clan mark or they'll throw you in. And no, if you can get clothes and can hide the clan mark, we can't stay there because I'm already known in there-" Ginny couldn't finish because a moment later a dark-haired boy came running up the hill to greet them.

Draco felt Ginny quiver behind him as the boy came near. His skin was quite dark and he was but a little older than Draco but the same height. His hair was a very dark brown and his eyes were brandy like Ginny's. "Hello. I am Alexander and I-" he trailed off as he saw Ginny. "Ginny, what are you doing here? I thought you were in that prison-"

"You know each other?" Draco asked, looking at 'Alexander' with narrowed eyes.

"You could say that," Alexander replied. "Ginny, I want to apologise. We overreacted. If you need a house to stay in you're welcome at our house," he offered.

"No we're-" Ginny started but Draco cut her off.

"OK then, we'll stay," he said. He felt Ginny punch him on the shoulder because of what he did, but Draco only followed Alexander.

"Draco," she said in a tone that you'd use on babies when you're disappointed in them.

"Virginia," Draco said in the same tone, but mocking her.

"Wow. That's the first time you've called me by my first name in ages. Why the sudden change of mind?" Ginny asked him, grinning on his shoulder.

"It's called mocking, Weasel," Draco explained bitterly.

"Okie dokie, Ferret," Ginny said, in Draco's opinion, childishly.

"Okie dokie?" Draco mimicked in a confused voice.

"Yeah. Okie dokie. It means OK," Ginny clarified for him.

"I know what it means-"

"We're here," Draco heard Alexander say when they reached a big house. Well, it was small in Draco's opinion but compared to the other houses, this house was enormous.

He got off the horse and offered Ginny his hand, but once again, she refused and got off herself. They followed Alexander into the house where Jennifer and Orlando were sitting on a sofa, cuddled up by the fire.
