Red Light

Chapter 5: The truth

I stared out at the lake. How could he? That bastard… He hurt her… All those night he was missing… All those days he wasn't at the house… I'll kill him…

I started breathing heavily and pacing around my room. I needed to relax and think sensibly. I couldn't though. I wanted to kill him. He never told me! Ugh… I started to take deep breaths.

I'm going to take a bath and try to calm down…

"So… Hermione… ready for some fun," a man in a dark cloak whispered.

Hermione whimpered and pleaded, "Not again… Please… don't…"

The man chuckled and slipped off his cloak and shirt, "Don't worry… I'll take good care of you… I need you… I'll give you plenty of pleasure tonight…"

He kissed her cheek gently.

She jerked her head away and tugged on her ties binding her arms. She squirmed causing the ties around her legs to tighten. Tears slowly started falling down her cheek.

The man slowly started undressing and climbing onto her waist. She could feel his erection against her. He ran his hands down her body. She couldn't help but feel violated. She wanted to cry out for help even though no one would hear her.

She tried to ignore what was happening to her again and slip into another world. That was until the pain came…

I heard a scream come from Granger's room. I jumped out of the lavish tub and grabbed a towel and wrapped it around myself hurriedly as I ran to the door leading from the bathroom into her room.

I threw open the door and looked around her room. The only person I saw was Granger sitting up in her bed panting.

"Granger," I said softly.

She looked at me. I noticed sweat was dripping down her face. I walked to her carefully and sat gently on her bed.

She looked at me like I was an angel. She must have been taken aback by my hot body dripping wet. She probably wants me to drop- Ok that was a little insensitive.

"A-are you ok," I asked quietly.

She nodded agape.

"What happened?"

"I-I had a bad… dream…," she said stuttering a bit.

"Must have been really bad… for you to have screamed," I inspected her facial features.

She had grown more beautifully. Her face was heart shaped and accented by her golden hair cascading in luscious loose curls; she had beautiful full lips, the kind you want to nibble and kiss tenderly. She had a cute, tiny button nose and her eyes where a dark chocolate brown color… She was absolutely, undeniably the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

"Malfoy," Granger said softly jarring me from my thoughts.

I looked up at her

"Why are you staring at me?"

"O uh… no reason… just thinking."

"O ok."

We sat there in silence for a bit, but the question that had been bugging me since I fist saw her came back up.

"Granger, what happened to you over summer?"

I heard her sigh softly as her eyes met mine. I waited for her reply, not wanting to force her into telling me.

"There was this guy…"

Ok, I knew it was a guy… I just wanted to know who she thought it was. I waited for her to continue. I could tell this was hard for her to tell me.

"We live down the street from each other. I didn't think… that passing glances and flirting with him would… drive him to…," she took a deep breath.

I reached out and rubbed her back. I noticed tears well up in her eyes.
"He would always tell me… 'S-Say my name… you know u like it... Say my name'."

He felt anger within him. How could he do that to her…
"I would always do as he says because I was scared…"

"I know… I understand…"

She met his eyes and sighed. We sat there looking at each other for a bit before I noticed her eyes turn fiery again.

"Why do you care what happened to me any way?"

"Granger, I was just worried about you. I understand how you feel."
"No you don't!"
She pushed me away from her and got off the bed.
"Yes I do! I know what it feels like to have someone hurt you. I know what it feels like to have someone torture you… I get it…"

She stared at me.

"Your father…"

I nodded.

"I hate him…"

I looked at her slowly.

"He helped your friend in raping me."

My eyes widened.
"He and Jaden would torture me endlessly… I felt violated… disgusting."

I saw burning anger in her eyes. I was actually scared. Hard to believe…
"I want them dead… I want them to pay for what they did to me."

I stared at her. Jaden was my friend. I never thought he would do something like this. It was hard for me to decide what to do. But, this did explain a lot. All the times I wanted to go out with Jaden and he said he had to "do" something. The things that were in his room the hand cuffs covered with blood that he claimed was fake, the other nasty things. They times he deserted me then called and was panting.

I sighed then realized she said "them."

"Them," I asked her, "Lucius is dead..."

"No he's not…"
