My Blood's True Color
Chapter 5 ~ 'It Is True Then.
~ "Yes, you've found out." The figure hissed menacingly. "You know who you are now, and it disgusts me that you had to be told by such scum as that boy." Pale, spidery hands melted out of the shadows that concealed the figure, an ancient, leather-bound book balanced between them. "This is to help you find what you really are, my dear." He breathed, and inched toward the light. "You will find where your loyalties truly lie." The figure then came into the full view of it's spectator, his red eyes glaring. The girl before him screamed, and collapsed. ~
The echoes of her scream still lingering, Hermione Granger woke up, covered in sweat and panting. She sat up, and felt a heavy object slide off the bed and land on the floor with a muffled bang. Looking to see what the object was, Hermione almost screamed again. It was the leather-bound book from her dream. "NO. It can't be, I can't be." She whispered. "Harry and Ron. they were wrong, they WERE!" She cried. Forgetting about being heard, Hermione broke down into tears. "I'm not that. I can't be that. It's not true!" Crying this to herself over and over, Hermione didn't notice the company she'd gained until she felt a hand around her waist. "Shhh, Hermione, it's okay." Mrs. Granger whispered. "Everything's going to be fine in the morning." Comforted just by her mothers presence, Hermione quieted, and turned around to hug her mother. "Thank you, Mum." She sniffed. "Shhh, just be still, you'll be fine in the morning." Her mother replied, and left, after kissing Hermione on the forehead and smoothing back her hair. "Goodnight honey." She whispered as she left the room. "Goodnight Mum." Hermione breathed, and lay back against her pillow. ' "Everything will be okay in the morning." Yeah right!' Scoffed a voice at the back of her head as she dropped back to sleep. Hermione's conscious barely noticed it, but it still did. 'It is true then. I am becoming that.' Was her last thought before she slipped back into the darkness.
