A Mother's Vengeance
Chp.5 Meeting Jolina Chang
I hurried down the hall trying to keep up with Abby who was close to running. She turned a corner and I barely turned it without running straight into the wall, she swung open the transfiguration as I got completely around the corner. She didn't bother waiting for me she just bolted into the room. I slowed down and just gradually walked in, I caught the end of a conversation between her and a female teacher; I assumed she was Professor Malfoy.
"You really like him don't you; I mean not very many people come speeding into my classroom and a break neck speed just for directions to the room of requirement." Ginny said to the girl in front of her that she'd become very close to in the past few weeks.
"I love him and I haven't seen him since the end of last summer. I am VERY anxious to be able to sit down and talk to him, you know, see what he's been up to." Abby said innocently.
"Yeah right, I was your age not to long ago. I used that room to Abby, believe me, it's the only place Draco and I could escape people. I just want you to be careful, I know you know about everything and all that but I'm still going to tell you. I mean who knows, you could end up like me." Ginny said smiling at the young girl.
"Like you how?"
"Can you keep a secret?"
"Yeah..."
"Well when I was sixteen I was pregnant and I had been careful. It was a curse that ran in the Malfoy and Weasley part of the family. Let's just say that no matter what I did, if my true love and I "had fun" I ended up pregnant."
"Where's your child now?"
"I don't know." Ginny said sadly, wondering why she had just told her deepest secret to this young girl.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. It must be horrible."
"It's okay, don't worry about it. You better go and meet up with, Keygan I believe his name is, or else some other girls might try to steal him." Ginny said smiling at the girl.
"Thanks Professor Malfoy." Abby said gripping the directions in her hand.
"One more thing..." Ginny said standing up and walking over to the girl, she whispered something into Abby's ear that I couldn't hear and all I saw was Abby grin and tell the Professor thanks.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Once we were in the room of requirement we picked one of the comfy couches I had pictured and flopped down in it. Keygan pulled me back into his lap, wrapping his arms around my waist and I leaned back into his chest, listening to his heart beat.
"So what have you been up to?" He asked me in a hushed voice.
"Nothing at all, what about you? I heard from Mattie that a lot of girls have their eye on you now that I'm gone and that a few of them are here. Am I going to have to prove that you're mine to them this year like I did last year?" Abby said grinning evilly at the thought of the girls last year.
"Just because they have their eye on me doesn't mean my eye is on them. I only see one person."
"And who's that?"
"You. You mean the world to me Abby, I was going crazy without you near me, but now you are here and I'm fine. I can't live without you Abby and you know it."
"Well you have to learn how...just as I do." She said in a quiet and sad voice.
"But not now, right now, you are mine. I'm here and will be for the rest of the year, I'm not leaving you. Your father can't make me leave here, not even my father is allowed to make me leave, and I wouldn't even if I was ordered to."
"Don't you realize what's going to happen this summer, Keygan? Don't you realize my father wants me in this year? Don't you realize that he wants you too? Don't you see what he's doing to me?" she sobbed the last part out and tried hard not to cry. She didn't let Keygan see her crying, she never had before, and she didn't want him to her weak.
"You can cry Abby; I can tell you want to." I whispered in her ear.
"No, I'll be fine. I don't want to start another storm like I did last time because I'm angry now and that means that everything with start."
"Are you angry with me?"
"No, at my father. Look what he's done to me, look at the pain he's caused the people around me, look what he did to my mother, and...and look what he's done to you." She said running her hand over shoulder where the one scar lay.
"That has long healed and I've become stronger since then. He could do that for eternity but it wouldn't change my feelings towards you. I promise he won't do this to you for very much longer, he'll be gone. I'll destroy him, I can promise you that. For what he did to your mother, my mother, my sister and most of all, for what he's done to you." I said kissing her lightly on her forehead. She turned sideways in my lap and rested her head on my chest as we talked for the rest of the night. I knew I'd get in trouble once school was over. I knew that I had been told to stay away from her, that it would teach me strength, and make sure I had no weakness. My father said any strong man was not held back by a mere woman, well, in my eyes Abby wasn't mere. She was special, she's what kept me alive this summer, and she's what made me want to live.
I wouldn't let her father get along with it all this time. I knew where he was hiding and I knew people had finally given up hope, thinking he was dead, and that his reign had come to an end. They were all fools, I knew he would soon come back, and the only way I could stop him from hurting her again was to kill him before he had the chance. I just have to wait until no one expects it, I could just turn him in, but I don't know who to trust and I don't know if there is anyone to trust.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I stretched my arm in the air and turned onto my stomach, looking up I saw that I had fallen asleep on Keygan the night before and he must have fallen asleep to. I stood up and looked down at what I was wearing; this wasn't what I had fallen asleep in and I knew Keygan had done it.
"KEYGAN!" I yelled directly in his ear. He shot straight up and looked around. I stood there with my hands on my hips looking him directly in the eye. Once he spotted me he smirked and stood up walking over to me and trying to put his hands around my waist. I stepped back and looked at his fallen face, he looked so sad, and he looked confused.
"What's this? This is not what I fell asleep in last night. If I recall I had on a skirt and a red halter top. This," She pointed to the men's shirt she was wearing that didn't quite reach her upper thigh. "is not a black skirt and red halter top."
"Well no, but you were so tired and you looked so cute sleeping so I thought you might be more comfortable in that then in a skirt and halter top."
"How did you manage to put this on me without waking me up?"
"I levitated your body, took your shirt and skirt off and then put my shirt on you. Sorry about the fact that it's so short, I tried a shrinking spell so it would fit your body and well it shrunk a little to much up."
"Yeah right, you probably shrunk it this high so you could see more."
"Not like I haven't seen you before."
"But that was on accident and that was last year, a lot has changed since then."
"I noticed." He said smirking off to the side hoping she wouldn't see.
"That's it." I said, he turned around just in time to see me coming towards him. I pinned him under me on the floor and use my wand to make sure he couldn't move.
"Come on Abby, this isn't fair. Aren't you supposed to be the one under me anyway?"
"Not today and not tomorrow, or the day after that. You know how I feel about that Keygan."
"I know love; I'm just messing with you. I've waited since last year and I'll wait eternity for you, trust me. For some reason I love you that much but I can't figure out why." He said the last part jokingly, gaining a smack from me on the arm. I stood up and put my clothes back on and magically threw my hair up into a pony tail. I looked at my shirt and muttered a colour charm on that and my flip-flops. I now wore a black skirt, blue halter top and cute blue flip-flops. Then I turned and walked over to Keygan, kneeling down on the floor beside him I reached behind me and grabbed his shirt. I undid the spell I had on him and handed him his shirt, telling him to get ready. Once he was dressed I went to leave the room, remembering to grab the directions, and I turned to him. I quickly changed his outfit into different colours so that he at least looked good and didn't worry about his hair because he'd already fixed it with some special charm my mother had made for him when he'd asked her to. We walked out of the room and straight to the Great Hall. I wasn't sure if we had classes today or not so I just left my bag in my room since I'd be close to the dungeons if I needed it today.
Once we were in the Great Hall I sat down with Keygan and his friends. I knew most of them because he'd had them come over to the house all the time and I was excited to be able to talk with Mattie again. She was my best-friend from last year and I loved her like she was my sister. I noticed three other girls walk into the Great Hall and once they spotted Keygan they made a beeline for our table. They all sat together right in front of Keygan and me and started chatting with Keygan right away. I saw him move his hand over close to me and then he moved it over top of mine and smiled and me. The one girl who had long black hair and dark brown eyes looked over at me and glared at me. I had had it, now I knew this was the girl Mattie had told me about, she followed Keygan around, flirted with him and tried to hang on him all the time.
"So umm, oh I'm sorry I didn't catch your name." I said talking towards the black haired girl.
"It's Jolina Chang." She said to me snottily.
"Oh well mines Abby Reads."
"I know who you are; I've heard all about you."
"Oh, so you've heard of me? Well, I'm glad, at least that saves me the trouble of having to tell you what happens to the girls who don't know how to keep their hands to themselves. Or do you need me to tell you?"
"No, I don't need you to tell me anything. However, maybe I should tell you something."
"Oh, please do. Enlighten me, maybe I'll learn something, although I highly doubt you could teach me anything."
"I, always get what I want. I could have any guy I wanted in this room and you, couldn't do anything about it. I don't feel threatened by you, believe me. So, you can take down your little sign that says "stay away" because if you're in the way of something I want, I'll plow right through you."
"I'll let you keep thinking that you can do that, even though you're mistaken. But, don't say I didn't warn you. People who piss me off and get in my way or try to take what belongs to me, tend to get...oh, how do you say, struck by lightning." With that, I stood up and walked out; leaving behind a very shocked Keygan. Then I felt him grab my hand and we walked out of the Great Hall with our hands locked together.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Once I saw Abby leave the Great Hall with Keygan I turned towards Jolina.
"She warned you Jolina and if I were you, I'd listen. She'll do damage when it comes to someone or something that belongs to her. I've seen it done before and she's not afraid to do it. Oh, not to mention, if you come near her or Keygan, you'll have me to deal with as well."
"Whatever Mattie, your threats don't mean thing to me. Neither do your little friends ands like I said, I always get what I want. I'll go through whatever stands in my way to capture my prey."
"Yeah, well you better watch out cause right now, Abby's spotted you and she's on the hunt. She doesn't go after prey; she tends to head towards the predators. And she always, swallows them whole." I walked away leaving a pissed of Jolina Chang behind me. Now I needed to go find Abby before she got out of hand and I knew Keygan wouldn't be able to stop her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Once I was outside by the lake I screamed as loud as I could. People like Jolina Change got on my nerves and I hated them, just because they were pretty they thought they could take my boyfriend away from me. They were wrong, all of them, Keygan loved me and I knew he wasn't going to leave me. I quickly slid my top and skirt off and went head first into the water. I swam until I reached the very bottom of the lake and then I sat down on the bottom and thought. I sat there for about five minutes, I did a lap around the lake, stopped and met the giant squid and then headed towards the surface. I jumped out of the water and quickly put my clothes back on.
"Abby, you HAVE to stop doing that. I think I would rather you start a thunder storm then go diving into water like that and staying under for so long. It always worries me, I always wonder if you're okay and I always wonder if you're going to come back up." Keygan said in a worried voice as he wrapped his arms around me, pulling my body close to his.
"I just needed a quick cool off, Keygan. I promise, I won't do it again unless I really need it."
"Do you promise me for real, Abby?"
"Yeah, I promise."
"Hey, Abby!" I heard Mattie call as she was walking towards the lake.
"HI Mattie! Oh, I'm so glad you told me about her so I had a heads up. I see now what you mean by saying she's a bitch. She acts so, so snotty and I'm not even sure why. I mean she's clearly not a Slytherin, and she can't be a Gryffindor, not ditzy enough to be a hufflepuff but she clearly fits the ravenclaw category. To bad to waste such a good mind on such a snotty bitch."
"Abby, you're too much. I swear every time I see you you've got more and more of an attitude. At least you control yours, Jolina doesn't even do that."
"Yeah well Chang better watch herself because she's being watched."
"Umm, not to interrupt but can we go somewhere else and talk because I don't want Abby catching a cold or anything and she's soaked." Keygan said heading us all off towards the room of requirement to have a talk and catch up.
Author's note: Guess I got chapter 5 up sooner than I thought I would. Well I hope everyone has liked the last few chapters. Next chapter will show you more into Abby's life and what she's dealing with. There will be lots of flashback and it will probably be a longer chapter than the rest. Hope everyone liked it and please review so I know if you guys like where I'm going!!!
I hurried down the hall trying to keep up with Abby who was close to running.
