Gabby ran from the Death Eater as fast as she could. She had enter the chamber in total darkness and stumbled as she ran. The Death Eater was teasing her. He knew he could have her at any time. It was all a game to him.
Gabby was scared. Never had a man looked at her like he did. It was like he was hungry for her. Hungry for her flesh. Hungry for her freshness. She didn't like it.
She cried as she ran but she knew he was nearing her.
"Where are you little girl," he said lewdly. "There you are. Stufey!" a white blast passed her shoulder. She turned another corner and ran.
Random blasts rained to her path. She knew he was toying with her.
She turned another corner but to her dismay, it was a dead end. It was another tomb but the sarcophagus was almost as long as her. A stunning blast grazed her shoulder and struck the top of the sarcophagus, opening it in the process. She quickly ran and without thinking, entered the sarcophagus. She was more afraid of the Death Eater than being with a mummy.
She tried to be quiet but her tears still flowed. She rested her head on the mummy's shoulder and cried. Her tears dripped on the dead mummy, her fear amplified as she heard the Death Eater's footsteps.
"Come on little girl," the man said. "I have something for you. It's long and hard and will probably fit in you," he laughed.
Gabby covered her ears in disgust.
"Someone help me," she whispered.
"There you are!" the man sneered as she took Gabby out of the sarcophagus. He was already groping her as he pulled her away. Gabby kicked out and luckily struck his balls. He dropped her not before he struck her face hard. Gabby slid to the sarcophagus but a trail of blood covered her lips. She looked at him, afraid.
The Death Eater sneered as he neared her.
"That's what I like," he said. "A feisty little girl."
Gabby closed her eyes shut and cringed on what would happen next. She was expecting his hands all over her but instead, she hear a blood-curdling scream. Daring to open her eyes, Gabby saw the Death Eater on the floor lying motionless. A figure in dark shrouds loomed over him.
Gabby stood trembling with the fear she just had. She noticed that the person had long black hair. He was about a foot taller than her but where did he come from?
Gabby glanced at the sarcophagus and found that it was... empty. As she looked back she found him in front of her.
He had ruby eyes that pierced her soul. She stood there shocked, her body not willing to move. He leaned over, his face almost touching hers, his lips almost on her lips. Then he gently licked the blood from her chin to her lips.
Gabby was stunned. It didn't even feel disgusting. It felt almost... nice. The being took her had and placed it on his head. Instinctively, she scratched and caressed it like she had a pet and the being sighed in pleasure.
"Did you save me?" she asked, her fear almost gone. "Thank you." she couldn't see his face for the shadow was cast into his figure. "Shall we?" she asked as she walked towards the door. The being nodded and followed her out.
Gabby walked rather weary from her chase. The being noticed this and offered her a piggyback ride. At first she refused but fatigue made her change her mind. She felt comfortable when she leaned on his back. Aside from the smell of mildew, she had relaxed.
"Do you know the way to the main chamber?" Gabby asked. The being nodded and headed for that direction.
"I wonder what happened to Fleur and messier Bill?" she asked to herself.
*** ***
As the creature lunged, Bill tried to shield Fleur with his body but he knew it was futile. He was charging in, closer and closer. Then he stopped. He was face to face with Bill and they didn't blink. The staring contest ended when the creature's hand went into Bill's knapsack and took out his canteen.
Sniffing it he opened the cover and quickly drank its contents. Since it was an enchanted canteen, it held water more than it should. The creature walked away as he gurgled the water and drank it again. It was kind of disgusting but Bill and Fleur were too astonished to say anything.
The creature placed the cover back and tossed the canteen back to Bill. He then began to stretch and they could hear the cracking of his joints like they were unused for years. He then began reading the glyphs and just stood there, ignoring them.
A scream from the inner chamber took them back into reality.
"Gabby," Fleur suddenly went to the inner chamber forgetting the creature. Bill followed her to see what was wrong. It was not a girl's scream but a man's scream. It seemed like the Death Eater died a gruesome death.
After a few turns, they found a figure carrying another approaching them. When the light touched them, they saw that one of them was Gabby. Fleur resisted her urge to go to her for she saw that Gabby was sleeping. She knew this when she saw the smile on her lips.
"Gabby?" Fleur called out and the girl stirred. She opened her eyes and smiled.
"Fleur!" she smiled and the being carrying her gently placed her down. Gabby then ran to her sister and gave her a hug. "I was so scared!"
"Me too," Fleur smiled as she caressed Gabby's hair. The older girl looked at the figure in mild question. With the shroud and long wild hair, he looked bedraggled.
"Hello?" Fleur smiled at him. She wasn't sure but she noticed that he nodded shyly. Gabby smiled as she saw her sister's confusion and took the figure's hand.
"He saved me from the wicked man," she smiled as she brought him closer. The figure hid shyly behind Gabby. "Don't worry," she encouraged. "They are friends." It finally came out and stood by Gabby's side.
"I don't want to be a spoilsport but we need to get out of here," Bill said as he looked at the dark corners of the halls. Agreeing, all of them went back to the main chamber but Bill was reluctant to bring them all in at once. He peered into the chamber and entered, the rest followed a moment later and Gabby found the carnage that was left. The figure covered Gabby's eyes as they made there way towards the exit.
Bill was surprised that the creature that killed the Death Eaters was not there. It must have escaped through the exit and was now at large.
"We need to owl Dumbledore," Bill said as he took Fleur's hand and led them back to his quarters.

Along muggle London, a stranger in a red shroud walked in its streets. He came to a pub and immediately went to the back and tapped a few bricks. The portal opened and he entered.
It was close to night and he was hidden in shadow. He had browsed at many shops until he came to a shop of the Burning Lion as its logo.
Without hesitation, he entered the shop.
All was still and all was quiet.
*** ***
"I owled Dumbledore," Bill said as he gave the girls lemonade. "He said he'll be coming here tomorrow to discuss about the situation."
"I was frightened with the creature," Fleur said as she sipped her drink. "Do you think it will kill again?"
"Most probably," Bill sighed. "But what puzzles me is that he didn't kill us, not that I'm not grateful."
"He may not have reason to kill us," she said.
"But what about Malfoy and the rest?"
"Maybe they were disturbing his sleep?" Gabby offered. Both adults looked at her curiously, making her blush. Clearing her throat, she stood and went towards Bill' room.
"I'll check on our guest," she said and entered the room.
"So... what do you think of our guest?" Fleur asked.
"I don't know," Bill said as she looked at the door. "He seemed... taken for your sister."
"And why not?" Fleur said proudly. "We Delacours have a reputation to uphold." Bill laughed as he saw her smile.
"Speaking of which," Bill smiled softly as he looked into her eyes. "Why did you kiss me earlier?" Fleur blushed as she turned to avoid his gaze.
"I seemed like a good idea at the time," she said shyly expecting him to be outraged. Instead, he smiled and shook his head.
"I'm not complaining," he said as he went towards his room. "I'm just curious as to why the cheeks?" Fleur blushed even more but before she had embarrassed her self more Gabby exited the room and smiled at them.
"May I present to you my savior," she smiled as she opened the door wider. Fleur and Bill's jaw came unhinged as they saw the figure.
He was a boy about Gabby's age. And was slightly taller. He had pale skin and his long mangy was now smooth and shiny. He had worn it in a long ponytail. His eyes, though shy, were begging for acceptance. It was like he never had anyone in his life before.
And they were red.
He was wearing one of Bill's excavation clothes, as he fondly called it. It was charmed so that it would fit him. Fleur couldn't miss the looks her sister gave him. It was like the looks that men gave THEM all the time. She laughed softly at her sister.
"What's your name, young man?" Bill asked also noticing the blush on Gabby. The boy blinked and looked at him curiously.
"I don't think he can speak," Gabby said. Bill took the cue and took a parchment and quill and gave it to the boy.
"Can you write your name?" he asked. Nodding shyly, he scribbled in the parchment and gave it to him.
"This is in runes," Bill said as he looked at the parchment.
"Runes?" Fleur asked. "What's his name? Can you read it?" Bill nodded and looked at him curiously.
"Alucard Rimidalv," he said. "Are you from Russia?" Alucard gave him a questioning look.
"I don't think it was called Russia then," Fleur smiled at him. "He knows English well. But how?"
"We'll save all questions when Dumbledore arrives," Bill said as he smiled at Alucard. "Please to meet you. I'm Bill, she's Fleur and..." before Bill could introduce her, Gabby jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck, making the boy blush.
"I'm Gabby," she said and kissed each of his cheeks, making him blush even more. The adults laughed and were amused by the girl's antics.
"It's time for bed," Bill said. Fleur stood up and suddenly realized something.
"Where would Alucard sleep?" she asked. Bill smiled as he unfolded the couch and it turned into a bed.
"It helps when you have a folding bed with so many family members visiting in a given time," he explained the unspoken question. "You'll be sleeping here," he turned to Alucard and smiled. "I'll get some pillows and blanket."
Alucard looked at the bed intriguingly and tested it. He sat on the bed and bounced on it a few times. He smiled shyly and looked at his hosts.
"Rest," Bill smiled. "We'll have a big day tomorrow."
"How come?" Fleur asked.
"We need to explain a lot of things," Bill smirked. "It's not easy explaining the death of Lucius Malfoy by the hands of a creature that came back from the dead."
"Goodnight, little one," Fleur said as she kissed Alucard on the forehead.
"Yes," Gabby came up and kissed him on the cheek again. "Goodnight." Blushing, she ran towards their room like a girl of eight. Alucard's gaze followed the retreating Gabby until she was out of sight. Fleur followed her sister into their bedroom and closed the door.
Bill looked quizzically at Alucard and smiled.
"You're one lucky man," he laughed and went to get the pillows.
Alucard blinked in confusion and blushed.
*** ***
Albus Dumbledore was quite alarmed at the news Bill Weasley gave him. He couldn't believe that Lucius Malfoy was dead for that matter. He must hear the story directly from their mouths for him to believe it.
But the creature that Bill found made him curious. A creature of the dark that, by Bill's accounts, was most likely to be stronger than Voldemort.
And more deadly.
"If Bill is not exaggerating I'd say he's merciless," Dumbledore said as he looked at his phoenix, Fawkes. "And bloodthirsty would not be a metaphor to him."
"I hope we stop him in time," the headmaster sighed as he retired to his quarters.
*** ***
It was close to midnight in Egypt when Alucard heard the creaking of a door. He didn't feel sleepy for he just woke for a long slumber. He didn't know what year it was.
There was a pressure at his bed and he knew someone sat beside him. The sweet fragrance of wild flowers reached his nose and he knew who it was.
Turning to his guest, Alucard saw Gabriella sitting beside him looking rather troubled.
"Ally?" Gabby said in a soft voice. Alucard sat up and gazed at her curiously and worriedly. "I can't sleep," she said. "I kept dreaming of that... that ... hideous man. I kept... seeing..." she didn't continue as she burst into tears.
Alucard was confused. He didn't know what to do. By instinct, he opened his blanket and patted the place beside him. Still in tears, Gabby entered the blanked and sat beside him. Alucard had wrapped his arms around her and caressed her smooth platinum hair. Gabby rested her head on the nook of his shoulder and he let her cry.
The smell of flowers was stronger now that she was beside him. He gently lay on the bed bringing her with him. He fixed the blanket so that it covered Gabby as well.
There, in the silence of the night, Gabby cried herself to sleep.
And Alucard continued to soothe her, wishing that he could protect her from the bad dreams.
