Chapter Nine
It took him a few moments to understand all that happened and he soon went after her. Down the stairs through the halls he finally caught up with her and grabbed her wrist.
"I can't........I can't Severus. This is cheating, he'd kill me if I cheated on him." she said trying to escape his grasp on her.
"He'll kill you anyway! Why can't you see that?" He said tightening the grasp.
"Because........because if I leave now I'll be killed anyway. Im already apart of their plan. I may already be pregnant with his child." She said quietly. He let go of his grip on her. She started walking out to the doors and he followed her. Every part of his being wanted to kill Lucius whenever he saw him, for dragging her into something she didn't know about, for the possibility of pregnancy.
They stood out in the rain. Soaking through their clothing as Erika stared out into the forest and he stared at her, wondering what she was planning on saying next. She stood very still and very quiet until she finally seemed to snap out of her trance.
"There is nothing I can do over this, Severus. What happened last night was just out of fear and out of desperation. At least I need to believe it was." She said sighing as she looked in a different direction. Her last sentence was said in somewhat of a whisper, but still, it caught Severus's attention. Did she really have feelings for him?
"What?" He said, hoping for one moment maybe there was something between them. She looked at him and sighed.
"I really did like you Severus, so honest and trusting and caring. Not many see you for who you are, and if this was a different situation, I would never have run away from you........" She said quietly. His heart thumped against his chest. He wanted to take her in his arms and hold her. It hurt him to think that he couldn't have her.
She looked so sad as she stood there, staring out into the horizon of dark green trees. The rain was falling again in endless patterns as he took her in his arms. He would hold her through all of eternity if he could. She put her head against his chest and began crying. He kissed the top of her forehead, caressing the smooth ivory skin.
"Im going to go back in, are you coming?" He said as she removed herself from his hold.
"No......im going to stay out here for a little bit. I'll see you back inside." She said, flashing a small smile at him. He walked back inside and went to his room to dry off. As he got to the top stair of the common room to the boys door, he heard a scream.
