C-F: ^.^ Okay, chappy four!
Marik: She has lost it.
C-F: I never had it to begin with! Though if you REALLY want to meet someone who's lost it, go read junana107's fic (Zelda: A Second Chance)! ^.~ She likes fluff too much!
Ari: More than you?
C-F: *nods* Yes.
Marik: O.O;;; Scary...
C-F: Also, in case you wonder, one of the following characters, his name is pronounced Ra-bair. But its spelled Rabere. It means madness, to rage. I found it under Rabies and Rabid in my dictionary.
Ari: Also, you know how some dreams, you're watching yourself AND being inside yourself? That's how the following dream or dreams are. (We're not sure if she's going to have more than one in this chapter.)
Death is only the Beginning.

Death Was Only the Beginning
***********************12 Grimauld Place, nighttime...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ari
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~Dream
I was sitting on the stairs in my home in America when I heard the doorbell ring.
'Hello?' I heard my mother say as she opened the door.
'My name is Rabere.' said a deep male voice.
'Oh! I was expecting you.' said my mother I watched from the shadows as my mother ushered a stranger, with bright turquoise hair and orange eyes, in.
The stranger look up the stairs and his eyes seemed to pierce me.
'How old is your daughter?' asked Rabere.
'How did you know I had a daughter?' my mother asked, making me roll my eyes.
Rabere motioned up into the shadows at me.
'Oh. Eleven.' said Mother, 'Will you please come with me, Rabere?'
What is mother up to know?
They only walked a few yards into the living room than sat.
I scoffed at how short of a distance they'd gone.
'Now, you said you had a good way of shutting up people?' asked Mother.
Uh-ohh...
'Yes, I am a vampire, after all.' replied Rabere.
My jaw dropped so low I was surprised it didn't hit the floor.
'A vampire?' asked Mother.
'Yes. I pay people to let me turn them or someone they know into a vampire.'
Huh. Intriguing.
'How much do you pay?' asked Mother.
O.O She isn't!
'Six thousand Galleons.' replied Rabere.
My jaw dropped again.
'My daughter is a handful.' said Mother.
'How so?' asked Rabere.
'Well, one she has a big mouth. Two, she is sarcastic. Three, she is a trickster, a troublemaker and a thief. Four, she knows the Unforgivable Curses and can successively use them. Five, she can run as fast as heck if you're chasing her. Six, she's an over-all nuisance.' replied Mother, making me livid.
'Just the perfect type.' said Rabere.
This is an insane business deal.
'You'll do it, then?' asked Mother.
'Of course, for something in return.' said Rabere.
'What is that?' asked Mother.
I watched disgustedly as Rabere leaned forward and kissed my mother. Ick, how disgusting. I think I'll go barf now.
'Is that all?' asked my MOTHER, breathing a little harder now. Bleach.
I couldn't help make a disgusted noise as they kissed again, Rabere's hands going places they shouldn't.
'That's all.' said Rabere, standing up.
'I'll warn you, it may take you a while.' called my mother as he turned and headed for the bottom of the staircase.
'You know what I'll charge if it does.' he called to her, putting a foot on the bottom step.
I stood up and hightailed down the hall towards my room.
FWOOSH.
I looked over my shoulder to see Rabere flying towards me on large black wings and I ran down the hallway even harder.
'HEY!' I yelled as he grabbed me from behind slamming me into a wall and landing in front of me, 'LET ME GO!'
He had grabbed me around the throat and I was finding it rather hard to breathe. I clawed at the hand he had around my throat. The other hand was stoking my hair. .* Hands off the hair, bub.
'You are fast, for a human.' said Rabere.
I was struggling to breathe.
'You must be quite a pain at times if your mother asked for this.' he remarked.
I felt his lips brush the skin on my neck.
'But, your thoughts say she is a pain to you too.'
My knees were going weak from lack of air.
'You are wondering why I'm half killing you?' he said, 'its just a bit more pleasure for me.'
I managed to make a disgusted noise.
'You will understand once you are a vampire.' said Rabere.
He moved his hand a bit so that his thumb was across my windpipe and the rest of his fingers wrapping around to the back of my neck.
'Let... me... go!' I demanded.
He sank his fangs into my neck making me gasp. I felt the blood slowly being drained out of me, not a pleasant experience. Is this what death feels like? This, feeling of everything going dark, the depression the surrounding takes in?
He seemed to be enjoying my futile struggles and the taste of my flesh and blood.
My head began to loll back and I fainted.
He let go of me and I collapsed onto the floor. He'd drank every last drop.
'Tasty.' he said wiping a few spare drops of blood off his chin, 'I think your mother will be happy, for a while. Your thoughts however, are intriguing.'
He turned around and walked down the stairs.
'Took a while.' remarked Mother who was lying on the couch.
When had she gotten THAT outfit? Or changed into for that matter?
'Yes, it did.' said Rabere, looking my mother up and down.
'She wasn't too much trouble I hope?'
'Oh, she's got a fighting spirit.' said Rabere, 'It has been doused for a while, I think.'
'Thank you.' said Mother, "Is there anything ELSE you would like?'
"As a matter of fact,' said Rabere, walking towards my mother.
Rabere got on top of my mother and began kissing her,
The scene switched over to me, crumpled on the floor, unconscious, and oblivious to what was going on downstairs. Thank GOD the scene had changed.
'Ohhh.' I groaned shaking my head to clear it, a day later.
I touched the two puncture marks on my neck and winced. Sore.
I swayed to my feet.
'How could this happen?' I asked myself, running to my room and slamming the door.
I threw myself down on my bed.
'Ari?' called a voice, Erin, twelve at the time.
'LEAVE ME ALONE!!' I cried.
'Ari, what happened?' asked Jenny, ten at the time.
'JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!'
The door opened and Erin and Jenny walked in to see my on my bed, crying into my pillow.
'Padfoot, what happened?' asked Erin.
'IT WAS A STUPID VAMPIRE!' I yelled, muffled by the pillow that was over my head.
'A vampire?' asked Jenny, 'What happened?'
'MOTHER PAID HIM TO BITE ME!' I yelled.
'You were dreaming.' said Jenny.
Erin pulled the pillow away from my head and moved my hair away from my neck.
They both gasped as they saw the two puncture marks.
'Remember when I got bitten by a werewolf, Ari?' asked Erin.
'Yes. BUT THIS I DIFFERENT!' I wailed, 'WEREWOLVES DON'T FEED ON /BLOOD/!!'
The dream scene shifted again and I was alone in my dark room, stomach growling. Not for regular food though, for blood.
I sat up and walked to my window, staring at the full moon.
Erin and Jenny had asked me earlier if I was going to go with them when Erin turned into a werewolf tonight, but I'd said no.
I cast a look around my room and grabbed a cloak, put it on and took the screen out of my window.
I cast a look down at the ground, then jumped from the window and landed on my feet with a soft THUD.
'We knew you'd end up coming out sometime tonight.' said a voice behind me, I turned to see Jenny.
I looked away, disgusted that I was so hungry for blood.
'You're hungry, aren't you?' asked Jenny.
'Yes.' I said, 'A vampire's hunger.'
'Me and Erin will watch your back, if you're going to go hunt.' said Jenny.
'Thanks.' I said, 'Nut... but what if I...?'
'You won't.' said Jenny, 'Now come on.'
Silently I followed her towards the hideout we had.
I saw Erin the Werewolf sitting by a tree.
'Moony, she's agreed to let us watch her back.' said Jenny.
Moony gave us an understanding look then got to her paws and stretched with a yawn.
Jenny shape shifted into a pronghorn deer.
I remained silent as we walked towards the heart of town, thinking all the way.
Moony nudged me with her snout.
I looked at her and followed her gaze.
There was a Death Eater, standing in the shadows of a pub.
I could tell what Moony was suggesting.
It MIGHT be interesting, seeing what would happen if I DID attack a Death Eater.
'Good night, lady.' said the Death Eater.
I remained silent strolling towards him as he moved into the alley.
'Whatcha say about-' he started then I flew at him and sank my fangs into his neck, drinking his delicious blood. DELICIOUS? Ohh boy.
The man collapsed and I released him feeling a bit woozy.
'Well,' said Prongs, walking over and nudging the unconscious man, 'You made quick work of THAT.'
I felt my face go red.
'Are you still hungry?' asked Prongs.
I shook my head.
'Well then.' she turned around and I followed her back to Moony who was sitting on top of an unconscious man.
I lifted an eyebrow.
'He was going to Stupify you.' said Prongs.
'Ah.' I said.
I followed Prongs and Moony back to our hideout.
'You have blood on your chin, Padfoot.' said Prongs.
I went red again and hurriedly wiped my chin with a napkin Prongs had tossed me.
'I have to go home.' I said, remembering some things I had to do.
'See you later then.' said Prongs.
Moony gave a small bark and I ruffled her fur.
I walked back to my house and began wondering how I was going to get back up to my room.
'It helps,' said a voice.
I whirled around to see a tall teenaged boy with black hair behind me.
'It helps if you FLY.' he said.
I didn't reply.
'I'm a vampire too, had the same fate as you I'm afraid.'
'How do I fly?' I asked.
'I'll tell you if you let me kiss you.' said the teen.
I snorted.
'I'd sooner rot.' I replied and walked over to a drainpipe that ran near my window.
The teen grabbed my ankle and pulled me down from the pipe.
'Let me go.' I growled.
Then I sort of, well, TRIPPED.
'You drank wizards blood, didn't you?' asked the teen.
I nodded, I was feeling rather..... tipsy.
'It's like drinking alcohol.' said the tee, steadying me as I tripped again, 'It's better to drink Muggle blood, wizards blood makes us drunk until we get used to it. It's like our version of whisky.'
I pulled out of his grip as he tried to kiss me. And suddenly my wings unfurled.
I bent my wings so they were in front of me and I stared at them.
'Interesting.' said the boy, pushing one of my wings aside, 'I had to be told how to do that.'
He was getting too close.
'You're pretty stable for a drunk.'
He leaned towards me.
I kicked him in the crotch and with one beat of my wings I was in the air and soaring to me window.
'Crucio!' he shouted.
I felt the spell whiz over my head as I hurtled through my window and began putting my screen back.
'Ari.' said a voice behind me.
Today's not my lucky day.
'What are YOU doing here?' I asked my uncle, Lucius Malfoy.
'Your mother has just informed of what has been happening for the past couple of weeks.' said Lucius, 'And she informed me that you can cast the Unforgivable Curses.'
I rolled my eyes. Of course, he WOULD be interested in THAT now, wouldn't he?
'But I came here to drop off a few packages for you.' he motioned over at my desk.
'Thank you.' I said, I knew what were in the packages, books on the Dark Arts, one of my favorite things to read about.
'Now,' he said, I didn't like the tone in his voice, 'CRUCIO!'
I screamed and fell to the floor, writhing.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~Dream End
I woke up with a scream and found that I was breathing hard and I was sweating all over.
Won't this a-cursed nightmare/memory ever go away?
"Ari?" asked a voice.
I looked over to see my door was open and my father, Sirius Black was standing in the doorway.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
"It was a memory of how I became a vampire." I said, staring at the ceiling.
"Tell me." he said, conjuring a chair next to my bed and sitting in it.
I told him the entire story, truthfully, leaving nothing out.
I finished and he shook his head.
"All this a eleven?" he asked.
I nodded.
He sighed and ruffled his hair.
"I'm glad you told me." he said after a while.
"I'm glad I finally told someone." I replied.
"Do you think you can get back to sleep?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Good night." he said standing up and exiting the room.
I threw off my cover and went to the window. I couldn't sleep.
I grabbed a cloak and vaulted out of my window.
"Where should I go?" I asked myself as I soared over the rooftops of Grimauld Place.
I decided I'd go to downtown London.
It took me a few minute to get there. I landed in an empty street and looked around.
"'Night, Greg." I heard a voice call.
I looked over in the direction and saw a young man walking out of a pawnshop.
Perfect.
I trailed him into a alleyway with a dead-end.
I launched at him and pinned him to the wall, my back to the entrance of the alley, and had sunk my fangs into his neck before he could cry-out.
I let him go and he collapsed onto the cobblestones. I had perfected my "skills" to a point where I didn't seem to have a hole in my lip.
"So you ARE a true vampire." said a voice behind me.
I whirled around to see Marik leaning against a wall at the entrance of the alley.
"Marik?" I asked, "What are you-?"
"I followed you." he replied.
"Oh." I said, "Why?"
"I overheard what you told Sirius." said Marik.
I remained silent, I was trying to figure a way out of the alley, I knew he wouldn't let me out the way I'd come, but flying up was out of the question too, he'd just follow me.
"You know how I became a vampire." I said, "How about you? How did YOU become one?"
"Pretty much the same way you did." he replied, "But I was younger and I was abused more. The Cruciatus Curse and fists and feet."
"I'm sorry." I said.
He waved a hand.
"Why did you follow me?" I asked.
"I wanted to make sure you didn't drink any wizard blood." he replied.
I felt my face go scarlet.
"Yes, I heard that part too." he said.
"Was it an accident?" I asked.
"Actually," he said, "I'd heard you scream and I was on my way to see if you were alright but your father got to you first and I heard you say something that caught my attention."
"Oh." I said.
I had decided I'd fly up to get out of the alley, I really hate alleys.
I launched myself up into the air. Curse these buildings for being ten stories tall.
I was almost out of the alley but suddenly Marik grabbed me from behind and pushed me into the side of one of the buildings, holding me by the neck of my shirt.
I winced as my wings were squished against the brick.
"What are you doing?" I asked Marik, with a gasp of pain as my wings disappeared.
Crap.
He readjusted his grip on me, so that I wouldn't fall.
"I was just wondering," started Marik, "Did either of those vampires do anything to you?"
His question took me aback. He had come here to ask me if they'd hurt me in any way (besides one of them biting me)?
"No." I replied.
He was staring me in the eyes, obviously trying to determine if I was lying.
"Good." he said, " Neither of them kissed you, did they?"
I made a face.
"NO." I said, "They wouldn't be alive right now if they had."
He grinned.
"Good." he said.
He grabbed me around the waist and flew to the roof.
"So." he said, letting go of me, "What are you planning to go do know?"
"I plan on going home and going back to bed." I replied, watching as Marik leaned against a chimney and stared at me. .* I hate being stared at.
"Even though you slept for three whole days?" he asked.
I gaped at him.
"WHAT?"
"You've been sleeping for the past three days and two nights." he replied, "Was it only a little while ago that you first woke up?"
I nodded.
"Well," he said, "I'll fly back with you."
"What's with the sudden guard duty?" I asked.
"Voldemort's been rather active the past few days." he replied as we leapt into the air, "We saved the articles for you to read."
A few minutes later we arrived in my room at number twelve.
Marik pressed his lips to mine.
"Good night, Ari." said Marik, breaking our kiss.
"Good night." I said, as he left my room and closed the door.

I looked over to see my door was open and my father, Sirius Black was standing in the doorway.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
"It was a memory of how I became a vampire." I said, staring at the ceiling.
"Tell me." he said, conjuring a chair next to my bed and sitting in it.
I told him the entire story, truthfully, leaving nothing out.
I finished and he shook his head.
"All this a eleven?" he asked.
I nodded.
He sighed and ruffled his hair.
"I'm glad you told me." he said after a while.
"I'm glad I finally told someone." I replied.
"Do you think you can get back to sleep?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Good night." he said standing up and exiting the room.
I threw off my cover and went to the window. I couldn't sleep.
I grabbed a cloak and vaulted out of my window.
"Where should I go?" I asked myself as I soared over the rooftops of Grimauld Place.
I decided I'd go to downtown London.
It took me a few minute to get there. I landed in an empty street and looked around.
"'Night, Greg." I heard a voice call.
I looked over in the direction and saw a young man walking out of a pawnshop.
Perfect.
I trailed him into a alleyway with a dead-end.
I launched at him and pinned him to the wall, my back to the entrance of the alley, and had sunk my fangs into his neck before he could cry-out.
I let him go and he collapsed onto the cobblestones. I had perfected my "skills" to a point where I didn't seem to have a hole in my lip.
"So you ARE a true vampire." said a voice behind me.
I whirled around to see Marik leaning against a wall at the entrance of the alley.
"Marik?" I asked, "What are you-?"
"I followed you." he replied.
"Oh." I said, "Why?"
"I overheard what you told Sirius." said Marik.
I remained silent, I was trying to figure a way out of the alley, I knew he wouldn't let me out the way I'd come, but flying up was out of the question too, he'd just follow me.
"You know how I became a vampire." I said, "How about you? How did YOU become one?"
"Pretty much the same way you did." he replied, "But I was younger and I was abused more. The Cruciatus Curse and fists and feet."
"I'm sorry." I said.
He waved a hand.
"Why did you follow me?" I asked.
"I wanted to make sure you didn't drink any wizard blood." he replied.
I felt my face go scarlet.
"Yes, I heard that part too." he said.
"Was it an accident?" I asked.
"Actually," he said, "I'd heard you scream and I was on my way to see if you were alright but your father got to you first and I heard you say something that caught my attention."
"Oh." I said.
I had decided I'd fly up to get out of the alley, I really hate alleys.
I launched myself up into the air. Curse these buildings for being ten stories tall.
I was almost out of the alley but suddenly Marik grabbed me from behind and pushed me into the side of one of the buildings, holding me by the neck of my shirt.
I winced as my wings were squished against the brick.
"What are you doing?" I asked Marik, with a gasp of pain as my wings disappeared.
Crap.
He readjusted his grip on me, so that I wouldn't fall.
"I was just wondering," started Marik, "Did either of those vampires do anything to you?"
His question took me aback. He had come here to ask me if they'd hurt me in any way (besides one of them biting me)?
"No." I replied.
He was staring me in the eyes, obviously trying to determine if I was lying.
"Good." he said, " Neither of them kissed you, did they?"
I made a face.
"NO." I said, "They wouldn't be alive right now if they had."
He grinned.
"Good." he said.
He grabbed me around the waist and flew to the roof.
"So." he said, letting go of me, "What are you planning to go do know?"
"I plan on going home and going back to bed." I replied, watching as Marik leaned against a chimney and stared at me. .* I hate being stared at.
"Even though you slept for three whole days?" he asked.
I gaped at him.
"WHAT?"
"You've been sleeping for the past three days and two nights." he replied, "Was it only a little while ago that you first woke up?"
I nodded.
"Well," he said, "I'll fly back with you."
"What's with the sudden guard duty?" I asked.
"Voldemort's been rather active the past few days." he replied as we leapt into the air, "We saved the articles for you to read."
A few minutes later we arrived in my room at number twelve.
Marik pressed his lips to mine.
"Good night, Ari." said Marik, breaking our kiss.
"Good night." I said, as he left my room and closed the door.
