Chapter 14
Captured
Hermione woke up. She looked around. This place looks so familiar. She thought. Hermione sat up in bed and looked around, This is Frosty Inn! Hermione ran out of bed and tried to open the door. She couldn't, it was locked from the outside! She ran to the windows and tried to open them, they too, were locked from the outside. Hermione ran back to the door and started banging on it and yelling.
"Help! Someone get me out of here! Help!" She cried.
No one came. After much banging she gave up and sat on the bed. Thirty minutes passed. Hermione then heard a rattling at the door. Someone was unlocking the door. Hermione jumped up from the bed. The door swung open. It was Natalie.
"Shh," Natalie said, "I'm here to get you out."
"Why?"
"Because Krum is crazy. He's insecure and refuses to face the fact when someone doesn't want to be with him."
"Huh? He didn't seem crazy until he came to see me yesterday."
"He hides it well doesn't he? Okay, put some clothes on and I'll take you home."
"How can I trust you?"
Natalie lifted her shirt up and showed her side. There was a big bruise near her ribs.
"Oh my god," Hermione said in shock, "did-did he do that to you?"
"Yes. When I told him that I didn't feel that spark he got upset and threw a tantrum. He threw me to the ground and kicked at my side. He then walked off to get you. I followed him because I knew he was going to hurt someone. I was peaking through your window. I saw you tell him you didn't love him, and then he saw me and tried to kill me, but the curse was so powerful that you got part of the blast. I pretended I was dead, but I followed him back, I saw what room he put you in and were he went. I then waited for you to wake up. I heard you yelling and I ran to my home to get the key I stole from the inn. Now we are here and we must go!"
Hermione threw on some clothing and Natalie and Hermione ran off. The two young ladies saw a little shop called, Rent an Owl. The two ran inside and scribbled a note to Ron. They sent the owl off, paid for it and snuck onto a plane.
Later…
Hermione and Natalie where running to Ron's house. Natalie stopped midway.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"He's followed us. He knows where we are going."
Natalie slowly turned around and saw him, standing there with his wand out ready to strike.
Natalie reached for her wand but before she did he yelled out, "Avada Kedevra!" Natalie slowly fell to the ground, she didn't get up. Hermione ran over to her side. She checked her pulse, she wasn't breathing.
"What did you do to her?" Hermione asked, yelling at the same.
"You came to me and then you left me. You left crying because you loved me, but then I come to find you and you reject me! No one rejects me without paying a price for it. Natalie here paid her price, and now it's your turn!"
Krum's wand was pointed at her, he shouted "Avada Kedevra!" but at that time, something, or someone jumped and knocked him over. Hermione dived out of the way. She ran over to help the man that saved her. He wasn't moving.
"Please don't be dead, please, don't be dead." She said as her tears fell onto his face.
