A/N: Sorry this I late, but better late than never.
Chapter four
A few hours after I had awoken in Evander's cell, a guard came and took Malfoy and me to separate cells.
We had been here for two and a half weeks or so now, following the time spent in a dirty small cell is heard when there are no windows to track the sun and constantly being knocked unconscious wasn't helping any, I hadn't seen Malfoy or Evander since I was locked in, the only way out was the door that was bolted shut from the outside, the door had a small cat flap sized door at the base, which was used to push the tray of stale bread and dirty warm water into his cell every now and then.
Every now and then people entered the cell, men came into the room, touching me and abusing be in the worst way imaginable, raping me, for the first few days I fought back as best I could, earning me beating after beating with the same skilled man form my first few days here, it was worse than when I was at the Dursley's, way worse. The abuse I suffered at the hands of these men made me feel ashamed and sick, I didn't know whether I should keep fighting or not. The beatings I could take but everything else, all the touching, all the name-calling, all the rapes.
It made me physically sick to think about it leaving my stomach empty and aching, each night I was plagued by nightmares; they were getting worse every night I was locked into his hell hole.
I couldn't even bring myself to think about what they were doing to Malfoy, he was so much more fragile; he might have suffered some form of abuse at home but nothing like what he was possibly going through now. Something had changed in Malfoy, I don't know what but he wasn't the same person I fought with at Hogwarts. Malfoy was just a scared child, who just wanted out; he wanted to get away from the life his father had set for him, only difference now was that he was finally doing what he could to get out of that life.
I wasn't sure what it was but I wanted to help Malfoy, keep him close, at least I'd have a familiar faces, even if it happened to be ferret faced Malfoy.
I had spent most of the morning chained to the bed being used, my body ached and I had been sick all over the cell floor, possibly caused by the drugs they started giving me, time passed so slowly here it was painful, having a deluded mind was making it worse, with no real concept of time. No one came after lunch time, something I was thankful for; I was still chained to the bed and it was uncomfortable, I tugged on the chains every now and then, causing my wrists to bruise and making the chains dig into my flesh drawing blood, no matter how much I pulled though I couldn't get free.
Late in the afternoon, out in the corridor I could hear a commotion, screaming lots of yelling, guns were being shot. I struggled with the chains once more knowing it was useless though, the noises were getting louder and louder, but the yelling was muffled and withering away whatever was going on outside was getting closer, but winding down.
A few minutes later the screaming stopped and the door to my cell was ripped off its hinges. I was more scared for my life than ever before. I was helpless against anything strong enough to rip a door off the wall. In the door way, holding the door in her grasp was a stunning, beautiful creature, she was unlike anything I had seen before.
The creature had straight black hair that reached down to her lower back; she was wearing expensive looking tight cloths that looked out dated, her eyes were a bright crimson. The woman slammed the door down against the wall. She walked towards me and I flinched away from her when she reached forward to run her hand down my cheek.
"Shh little one, your safe now." She said in a smooth angelic voice, the first thought that came to mind was that she wasn't here to hurt me.
"What are you?" I asked my voice cracking at the effort after screaming for so long.
"Don't worry, I'm here to help"s he said snapping the chains off my wrist like they were twigs.
"What are you" I repeated more firmly. The lady looked bored and not at all taken aback by my outburst.
The creature knelt closer so we were eye level.
"I'm here to help" she said, bringing her hand up to run it downs my check, I paused for a second contemplating weather she was a threat or not, could I trust her? Or was this a trick my mind was playing on me.
The creature helped me to sit up, something I hadn't done in a long time, my muscles ached even more at the new position I was taking.
"What are you" I asked more firmly this time looking the creature who was saving me in the eye, I wasn't interested in anything else except knowing what she was, there was no way she was human, she was to beautiful and too strong to be human, and her eyes endless she had contacts in, no one could have eyes as red as hers, well except for Voldermort.
The creature rolled her eyes at me,
"You're as persistent as the other one" she said more to herself then to me.
"I'm a Vampire ok, now you are safe, come, we have to go"
"Vampire! Go? " I yelled
"But ant you supposed to be a mindless killing machine, I'm bleeding, shouldn't you be feeding"
I yelled working myself into a panic.
"I don't feed on humans ok" she said looking at me with disappointment.
I looked at her more closely, with a suspicious look on my face.
"Well except for today but they were bad people." The vampire said in a childish manner.
She took my hand and helped me to my feet, handing me some of the shorts that were lying on the floor and helping me put them. The vampire guided me out the cell and into the poorly lit hallway, the creature had to help me stand, my legs were shaky and I felt dizzy, I leant heavily on the woman's side, letting her support my weight.
"Easy now, no rush" she said.
"My name is Adella by the way, what's yours?" she said as we slowly manoeuvred through the halls.
"Harry," I merely replied.
At the end of the long hall we entered another room, this one well lit, and crowded with people, at first I was very frightened thinking it was all a trick of my mind, but as I got a better look around I could see that most of the occupants were injured in some way or another, some people were dirty and sick looking some were covered in dried blood. This room was filled with all the other prisoners.
Malfoy was sitting to the back in a corner, Evander in his arms unconscious and bloody. I made my way over there not caring of the pain it caused or if Adella followed me or not. I knelt down in front of Malfoy and made sure Evander was still breathing.
I looked up to see Malfoy crying, he looked like a child, it was heart ranching. Malfoy was holding Evander close to his chest and rocking slightly.
"Malfoy?" I asked quietly
"Harry" Draco breathed out a new burst of tears rising to the surface, I was torn between being shocked at the use of my first name form the Slytherin prince but I knew I had more pressing matters to deal with.
I reached up and hugged Malfoy soothing him in any way I could.
I moved into a position that made it easier to hold Malfoy close, not releasing him the whole time I moved.
I surveyed the room onee more; there were about three vampires in total that I could see, there was Adella and two other women, one was completely covered in blood.
"Were safe now Draco" I whispered, slowly patting him on the head trying to calm him down.
"Adella?" I called getting the Woman's attention.
"Yes sweetie?" she said being by my side in seconds, surprisingly no one either seemed to notice or care.
"Evander needs a doctor."
"I'll get Everlyn, she has some healing powers"
In seconds one of the other Vampires was standing beside Adella kneeling down in front of us and placing her hands on the side of Evander's head.
A soft white glow formed around Evander and slowly covered his body. When Everlyn pulled away Evander was almost healed, only he was still covered in blood.
Even Draco's scratched up hands and cuts to his chest were healed. I was impressed with the vampire's abilities.
"Thankyou" I whispered to both women,
"Do any of you have families you can go to?" Everlyn asked whipping some of the blood of a still uncurious Evander.
"No we don't" Draco said in a trembling voice.
"Can we take you anywhere then?" Adella asked.
"Far away maybe… do you know where our stuff is?" I asked hoping my glasses were saved.
"There are a few boxes some of the other boys have taken thing from; I'll get what's left for you" Adella said before disappearing from view.
I went back to helping the brunette vampire clean the blood of Evander.
Two minutes later Adella was back with three boxes full of all sorts of things. I left Evander to Draco while I search for our stuff.
Our wand were separated but luckily they were there, my glasses were broken but use able, mysmall carry bag and what could only be one of Draco's bags were also there everything still intact. There were three other bags I went through till I found one that had a photo of Evander in it; they could only be his belonging.
"Whats the sticks for" Everlyn asked with a small smile on her face,
"There… there just sticks" I told her placing the wands in Draco's bag.
"You're not acting like there just sticks" She said.
"There just sticks that mean a lot… Ok" I said.
"There wizards Ever, now I need your help over here," The third vampire said causing Draco and I to snap our heads up in shock that the woman knew that we are wizards.
"What… were not, that's… how did you know?" I asked in total shock.
"Sticks, silly and I was a witch when I was human then I got bit, so that's how I know." The vampire explained.
"Right… ok and you are?" Draco asked her.
"I'm sorry; my name is Stella Conley lovely to meet you, however under these circumstances it's a bit terrible." She said before skipping off to tend to some of the other people in the room, Everlyn following her.
"What are we going to do now?" Draco asked me and I didn't have an answer for him, instead of trying to come up with one I merely wrapped my arms around the trembling boy and holding him close.
"We'll work something out." I said
People had begun to leave the building, the Three Vampires escorting people out.
Draco and I sat and tried to come up with a plan, neither of us was in any condition to be on our own, and neither was Evander.
"Does Evander have somewhere to go?" I asked Draco,
"No he said something about being kicked out when I was talking to him last two weeks ago" Draco replied.
Draco pulled Evander closer, I didn't know what it was but Draco was attached to the unconscious boy, he didn't look like he wanted to let go of the boy.
"We'll go back to England, to my hotel room, my things should be there still, I paid for a month, I didn't know where I was going." I told Draco taking charge of the situation.
"Ok," he merely said, "How are we getting back to England?" he asked.
"Maybe the girls can take us" I told him hoping they would keep the offer open about taking us somewhere.
We sat for a few hours, until Evander finally came to, after explaining what was going on to him and Everlyn healing all three of us up as much as she could, Draco managed to get Eva' to come with us, he was in no condition to be off on his own. Adella, Everlyn and Stella were more than happy to take us back to the hotel I was staying in, on the trip to England the three girls, Draco, Evander and I bonded in a weird way, spending time with the girls was so different from anything I had ever experienced. Once we arrived the girls had to head off to Ireland, we exchanged numbers so we could keep in touch, the girls had been worried about us after what we had been through and they wanted to make sure we stayed safe.
After a week in England, Draco and I wanted to leave, when out at the shops getting food, Draco and I had been paranoid that we were being followed, resulting in Draco having a panic attack, Evander wouldn't sleep in a bed, instead choosing to stay on the floor. All three of us had nightmares each night, Evander's worse than Draco's and mine. On one occasion the hotel manager came to the room, the occupants of the rooms surrounding ours had complained about the screaming, Draco and I couldn't wake Eva' that night. The nightmares were just getting worse and Evander tried to stay awake for as long as possible, till he collapsed from exhaustion.
At the end of the second week back in England Draco and I had chosen to go to America, no one knew us there, and the war hadn't spread that far, it was an ideal location. We had made plans to head off in the next two days.
It was the start of a new life, something I had only ever dreamed about, a place where no one knew my name, didn't know about The-Boy-Who-Lived, and with Draco Malfoy of all people, I'd miss my old life, I'd miss my friends the most, those that were still loyal to me anyway.
I was looking for would to a quiet life.
A/N: Quite a long chapter, I struggled to write this one, that's why it's late. Please read and review, I hope to hear from you all.
