Chapter Three: Smile Empty Soul~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You just can't let me have her can you?!?!" Seth yelled when Spike and he were outside the club.

"Hey, she hates you it's obvious, come off it mate. You can't make her love you can you?" Spike said defending himself.

"You told me that when I found someone that I loved you would back off." Seth reminded him seething with anger.

"Yea I remember. But I didn't know that you love her, if you want her go get her she's in there right now." Spike reminded him nodding towards the club. Seth looked at him for a moment before reentering the club with Spike not far behind.

*************

Hermione was on the dance floor dancing wildly to the punk rock blasting from the DJ. She felt male body press against her back but she kept dancing anyway, their bodies moving to the music that had taken over her body.

"I need the darkness that you know you love and hold." The guy behind her whispered in her ear. She turned and saw Seth standing there. She stopped dancing and stared at him sadness etching her beautiful feature. She closed her eyes and swayed on the spot.

"Darkness isn't what I have but what you want." She answered as if it wasn't her speaking. She seemed oblivious of her surroundings only that Seth was there and that they were talking. He stepped closer to her and placed a hand over her heart.

"Here, darkness fell and you are it." He said (A/N: wow I feel very philosophical. Haha). She looked away and moved deeper into the crowd. Seth sighed, his shoulders sagging.

Hermione moved towards a corner where she saw a lonely guy standing there watching every one dancing. She heard his heart beating and blood rushing threw his veins. Her breathing became faint and her heart (if she had one) stopped beating or at least it seemed to stop.

"Hey, what are you doing here standing all alone when you could be dancing with me?" She said advancing on him watching him with cat like eyes. He looked at her eyes wide as if he were afraid.

"Umm..I don't know I've never dance with a girl before, well no girl has asked me to." He said shyly. She smiled at him.

"Then I guess I'll be your first." She said taking his hand and leading him to the dance floor. They danced for a while and the boy was taken into her spell. Her elongated fangs brushed along the boy's neck making her shiver with wanting. He was so deep in her spell that she was able to lead him into the ally next to the club with out him asking once why they were going outside. She pushed him against the wall as gently as she could so as not to wake him from the spell or to damage him in any way. She pressed against him and bent her head down to the crook of his neck licking it tenderly causing him to shiver. She let out a hungry moan before biting down into him. He seemed to snap out his trance then and cried out in pain. Hermione gripped him tighter by the shoulders drinking deeply.

"Take it easy love; he's not going to be your last." A voice said from behind her. She pulled back from the boy his blood dripping from the corners of her mouth. She turned her head to look at who was behind her. It was Seth. She groaned and let go of her catch and he just fell limply to the ground but attempting to get away.

Seth walked closer to Hermione and wipped away the blood with his thumbs. He brushed his thumb on her lips looking her in the eye. Her lips parted and she licked the pad of his thumb getting the blood off. Seth cupped her face and looked into her eyes questioningly. Hermione just stared at him with expressionless eyes. He leaned in to kiss her but she pulled away.

"I was eating, can't you wait?" She said teasingly pulling out of his grasp, turning and looking at the ground where her victim, who she found out, was named Mark, was attempting to run away.

"Now, now you shouldn't try to leave when I was having you for dinner. I wasn't too long was I? I'll try to bet quicker then." She said grabbing him around the neck and pulling him up. Arms encircled Hermione's waist preventing her from bitting him. "What now?"

"You're just going to pull away? I thought you wanted it." Seth whispered seductively in her rear.

"You can wait till I'm done." Was her reply before she bent her head and bit Mark again bitting down hard not caring if it hurt him or not. Mark's lifeless body fell to the ground with a soft thud when Hermione let go. She licked her lips and turned to see Seth standing close behind her.

"So I remind you of Draco." He states wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Where did that come from? And since when do you have to right of touching me?" Hermione questioned stepping away from him but only to have him step closer until she was pressed against the wall.

"Seem familiar?" Seth asked with a sly smile.

"You didn't answer my questions."

"Do I have to?"

"Yes, if you don't you will find your self a pile of ash."

"You're no fun." Seth said moving his head closer so that he could kiss her. Hermione turned her head so he only ended up kissing her hair.

"I was just attempting to pick up some of our conversation from the last time we talked."

"Wasn't much of a conversation."

"It was to me."

"Answer the second one."

"What second one?"

"My second question you idiot."

"Oh yes. Since when do I have the right to touch you? Is that correct?" Hermione nodded so he continued. "Well, there's no law saying I can't. And I know you want me to anyway. You body may want to but your mind does not am I correct?" she nodded again

"Since when do you know so much about women?" She asked raising an eyebrow at him.

"I had three older sisters and one younger one. I think I should know some things about women." He answered her. Hermione rolled her eyes pushing him away from her.

"Well, just because my body may want it doesn't mean that my mind won't over rule my body now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to school. Classes start tomorrow." She stated starting to walk away from him. Seth grabbed her again but this time to bring his lips to hers in a hungry passionate kiss. 'You're mine.' He thought pulling her tightly against his body. He moved down to her neck.

"Not here." She said breathing heavily. "We can continue this in my dorm." Seth smiled slyly at her. He knew he would get her eventually. She grabbed his hand and ran towards the bus stop.

****************

Draco was sitting in the common room staring at the fire attempting to fall asleep or at least get tired enough that he could walk up to his dorm and fall asleep when he got there. He turned to look at the common room door when it opened to see Hermione being backed in by Seth in a passionate lip lock. He watched them as they made their way to Hermione's room door, banging against it before opening it, entering, and then closing it.

"Thought she hated him." Draco spoke aloud to himself shaking his head. "She's a strange one she is."
