Chapter eight
The Christmas days passed him slowly, which he spent reading and watching the winter wonderland around him. He missed her; he needed her yet he would do nothing for it. He could not let her fall against him. Christmas day came and went and he waited patiently for classes to start again so he could see her. The weather started changing, which was very uncommon for winter. By the twenty seventh of December it began to rain, cold and silver on the windows. The ground went slushy, to a bright green, something only that came from spring. Everyone seemed stunned and sad for missing their wintry scene. The rain kept on pouring by mid-day when he saw someone run through the woods.
They ran into the doors and soon where completely out of site. He wondered who they were but went back to sitting on the couch in the common room. Most people where in the Library or Great Hall chatting away since the common rooms seemed to have a dull appearance in this rain. He sat and just watched it hit against the windows when the door opened.
It was at first too dark for him to see whom it was. The figure was dripping from the rain; it was whoever had been running to the building. This veiled figure came closer and closer and he stood up. His mouth open, he knew who it was, Erika. He went to her and grabbed her before she fell onto the floor shaking. Her skin freezing he ran upstairs and got some blankets to wrap around her as she laid down on the couch.
Worry and Happiness mixed through his veins to see the one he loved, yet so terribly shaken. He sat with her and held her until she felt warmer and safer. Her hair hung straight in clumps and her clothing stuck tightly to her. He held on to her so tightly he wondered if she could still breathe. By an hour and a half she finally started warming up and smiled at him. In their comfort he finally asked her a question he hoped would not turn the moment sour.
"Why did you come back? What happened?"
"A lot happened. It turned so sweet at first. His parents loved me, I met a friend of the family, and he was so passionate and romantic with me. I thought I was in heaven; he made me feel that way at first. But he.......he went to far with me. It felt like he was using me. Then I listened into a conversation when I was going to get a book from the library, the guest had told Lucius and his family that I was in use for a certain reason, that's why he was all over me so much. He didn't do it out of love, more out of the lust and command. So I left." She said quietly, pulling herself closer to him.
"What did he do to you? Who was the guest?" He said, worrying. He knew Lucius's family was of a bad race that followed only things dark and evil. He prayed it was not for the one bringing forth terror into the world.
"Tom something........ im not too sure. He was nice I guess, but he wanted me to make an heir for him without my knowing. I can't do that. I could never do that. Not without my knowing especially." She said.
"Good. Erika, you can't go back their. You can't get into what they are into. I won't let them hurt you." He said hugging her, he was afraid of what could happen.
"What? What do you mean hurt me?"
"What they are in to. Its evil, I know they are into it, you could be killed. I won't let you die." He said and she looked up at him, shocked. She started to cry. She told him she was scared, scared of Lucius. She told him more and more of what happened there and it made him want to cry seeing her like this. And then, he did something he knew he shouldn't have. He kissed her.
It was something he had wanted to do for so long. So passionately, so deep and filled with all the raw bits of emotion he had. She responded back to him with much emotion. He was in bliss. His desire to have her rose higher and his hands went into her hair and on her waist, pulling her closer to him. He touched her smooth cold skin that sent tingles through his fingers. Time stood still as they kissed and held each other for hours through dinner.
As people began coming in they stopped and went down to the kitchen to get something to eat. They ate down there, full of love for each other. He could not believe this was happening to him, he was getting a dream come true. The weather after dinner was still surprisingly warm so they sat outside, in each other's arms, kissing, caressing, and whispering.
She fell asleep in his arms. He carried his bed, as forbidden as it was. He held her under the covers, caressing her hair, her cheek feeling his emotions go into an overflow. By the morning no one had really seemed to care they shared a bed. He woke up to her sleeping, curled up next to him. She slept so peacefully. Finally she stirred from slumber, aware of the surroundings around her. But then she did something Severus did not expect to see her do, run.
Gotta run, enjoy, and whatever I said with the whole "its not me thing" forget it, its not me, but its not having to do with any of that. Take care! ~e.l.l.a
