Chapter eight: Dreaming of You
I don't know why, but I guess I did fall asleep while watching one of the movies with them. Before I knew it I was in a deep sleep, my mind full of many things I could barely register. At first, I found myself dreaming about Ron being chased by a giant spider inside of his dorm. But after that... I was dreaming something different. Way different.
I wandered through a graveyard. Yes, a graveyard. I usually liked graveyards, but this one, just didn't seem right. I was also wearing a long white dress, with no shoes. I felt extremely uncomfortable walking on the hard ground.
I stopped in front of a drab, and decrepit tree. It had not one single leaf apon it. It looked like a very cool tree, just...I wasn't liking the feeling it was giving me. As if every part inside of me turned into a dead...thing. Or as if I'd never be happy again. The tree was reminding me strongly of a dementor. I moved away from it and stopped in front of a headstone. In which it read in a very un-impeccable way :
Raven Keitaro
December 9th, 1801- December 9th, 1823
Beloved son, grandson, and husband
I jumped a little and then bent down to look at it closer. Is this the Raven that has come to teach at Hogwarts? I think it was. But it can't be. This Raven is...dead, and he died a long time ago. I found it ironic he died on his birthday. Maybe it was just a coincidence? I wasn't sure, but I continued my journey through the graveyard.
As I felt my feet hit a hard rock I leaped up holding my foot in pain. But wait, dreams can't hurt you?Right...Ri-ight.
I stopped clutching my foot and looked down at the next headstone, which read in gold inscriptions:
Areana Hermione Deiance-Keitaro
September 19th, 1802- December 9th, 1823
Beloved daughter, granddaughter, and wife
I leaped backwards and felt my shoulder hit a headstone. That hurt, but I went into shock then. My name was the girls middle name. It was so weird. It can't be me. I knew that. For I was still alive, and I was not born in 1802. But the birthday was the same..., and the middle name. This was Raven Keitaro's wife? How odd...They died on the same night. Together, maybe? This was just getting too weird for me, so I stood up peering into the darkness, trying to find a way out. It was hard, for fog was blocking me from seeing barely anything now, along with the darkness. I looked up at the sky and saw the moon being covered with dark, and piteous clouds. I wasn't liking this. Not one bit.
I stepped over headstones and rocks, trying to find my way out of here, before something bad happened. But then I heard some sort of...lamentational sound coming from my right. I immediately thought someone was in trouble, or some sort of animal, and I ran in that direction, in an urge to come to their aid.
There was some sort of cave, when I stopped. I wandered over to it, curious to see what was held inside of it.Then I heard a scream full of rancor coming from inside. "You filthy little mudblood! Tell me, where is the one we seak!?" a voice shouted, and it sounded awfully familiar.
"Go find him yourself, bastard! I won't say a thing, I shall tell you nothing! " another voice kicked in with a saucy attitude. It sounded like a girl. Who also, seemed to sound familiar. Why is everyone so familiar in dreams, yet you cannot decipher who they are? Indeed.
It was silent at first, until a loud and painful slap was heard. I was guessing the mudblood-hater had slapped the girl. This was not your ordinary bicker. I had to interfer and get the girl out, before something very bad happened. Very bad indeed.
I ran into the cave, my feet kicking the dust in back of me. I ran around corners with many dark shadows, and could not find the ones I needed to. But, finally, after much running. I found a circle, big enough for a small person like me to fit through, and walked over to it peering around the edge. I then saw three figures. One on the ground cursing, the other two standing, hovering above her. One of them moved away, and I noticed the girl on the ground at once. It was me!
I wasn't getting what was going on, and was about to scream in frusteration, until the tallest figure above her, turned around. I recognized him as once. It was Voldemort. Oh great...I was in the hands of Voldemort.Well, sort of.
I assumed the other figure to be Wormtail, for their burly figure. I stepped backwards more into the shadows, for there were lights coming from the fire lighting my face with orange, red and yellow. I didn't want to be caught. I could make myself go mad. As if I were back in time...Or forward in time. Something like that.
I felt like slapping myself, when I remembered this was just a dream. But it felt so real. I hated it when dreams felt real. Because you can't tell if you're really dying or not. You can't tell if you're really kissing the guy you like or not. You just can't tell because it feels too real to be able to tell. But when you wake up, you come back to reality as well, and then you can tell.
Someone was standing behind me, and the hairs on the back of my neck stood-on-end. I jumped and looked behind me. I was staring at a chest, of a man. I looked up into the eyes of Raven, but he wasn't really staring at me. I looked behind my shoulder, and saw he was staring at the other me. Didn't he know I was standing right in front of him? I waved my hand in front of his face, and he didn't even blink. He walked right through me, though. I mean that literally. He just walked right through me as if I were a...ghost?
He then proceeded and found he couldn't fit through the hole, and walked around the corner to the other opening. I just watched intently from the hole, waiting to see what happened next. I hoped Raven kicked Voldemorts, and Wormtails asses. Go get 'em Rae!!! If you do I give you brownie points!
I saw Raven tap Voldemorts shoulder, and that caused Voldemort to sort of jump, but not too much. This angered him I could tell, as he turned around with his glum face being hit with the flames of the room. "Well, well, well...If it isn't little Raven. The one we seak. Looks like you have come to us, finally" Voldemort smirked with an evil glitn just coming from his eye. Raven fumed, " I did not come here for you, Laurence. I came for Areana".I blinked.So that was Areana? How come she looked like me? I didn't know. But I also wanted to know why this Laurence guy looked like Voldemort. Kind of creepy once you thought about it. I didn't shiver.
" Oh I see. Still in love with your wife? You choose her over power? What an ignorant fool. It makes me want to giggle" the guy named Laurence. I think I was going to start calling Voldemort giggles from now on. Made it more fun.
"I choose her over anything. Even life itself"Raven bent down and picked up Areana in his arms, "and I'd appreciate it if you apologized and left us alone. You do not need me for your reign in power"
Giggles smirked and I could've sworn I saw his eye twitch, "Oh come off it Keitaro, you are already dead. How can you choose her over life itself? No we will not leave you alone"
"Areana and I are both dead. We died for our own reasoning, yet we are still alive. Don't you see? See her wounds already healing? See her already becomming even more angry? We are immune to your little weapons and spells? We are immortal. You cannot hurt us. Just let us be"Raven narrowed his eyes at Mr. Giggles, who only smirked more. " Raven, Raven, there is one way to get rid of both of you. Since you will not join me, I shall be rid of her, and make you suffer for the rest of your immortal life " he laughed then, and Areana immediately floated into his arms, and her eyes closed. What was Laurence Giggles going to do to her? If she's immortal...Does that mean...
Laurence set her on the ground in which Raven made a break for her, but he was thrown back by some invisible force. "Let her go!Damn you, let her go!"Raven shouted continuing to try and break through the force."It is time you learned a lesson, Raven. You should never defy me."Wormtails look-alike waddled over with a wooden stake, and a hammar in his hands. Laurence took them and pressed the stake to Areana's heart."Anything you wish to say Raven?Before she is gone...forever"Laurence's lips curled up into a form of a snake-like smile. "Areana!!!Areana!!!Je t'aime!Pleae don't, Laurence!" Raven shouted kicking at the force that held him from getting to Areana.
"Im afraid not, dear Raven. Say goodbye"Laurence held the hammar into the air and swung it down forcefully onto the stake, which drove into Areana's heart, not even splattering blood. I winced, and frowned looking over at Raven who was on the floor sobbing. It is very hard to watch a man sob. But I held my ground. I wanted to comfort him.
Raven then looked up with tear-stained eyes, and smiled at Laurence. Giggles looked confused. Hell, I think I looked confused too. "What are you smiling at?"Laurence questioned. "You forgot one thing, Laurence. You didn't get rid of her soul. She'll always come back"Raven then let out a little laugh and Laurence fumed and kicked Raven in the face, causing him to laugh more.
I shook my head and started to turn around to head back out to the graveyard, when I heard a light wooshing sound. I faced them yet again, and saw coming from Areana's half-parted lips...A shadowy figure, it came flying through the hole, towards me.
I let out a loud and peircing scream as it through in through my mouth.Then...I woke up.
I fumbled around in my bed sweating and leaping up. Then I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my stomach and pull me back down. I turned to look over and saw Raven holding me, I looked on the other side of me, and there was Malfoy clutching my leg."WHAT THE HELL!?" I screamed and turned to Raven and his eyes were wide open. Has he been awake the whole time? I looked on the other side, and Malfoy was too. Weird..."Go back to sleep...Go back to sleep" Raven whispered into my ear, and I felt myself fall back into a deep, and dreamless sleep.Unintentionally of course...
Wow, I love this chapter. Tell me what you think!Pretty long, eh? OK, read and review!!!!!!
