Ok, I'm posting chapter 15, as u can tell. I promise to finish chapter 16 ASAP. I'm starting to wrap up this story so, shortly, I will be reaching the point of this story; lol.

Chapter 15

Kia woke up a bit disoriented. Ever since she had been…kidnapped she had been having these weird dreams. In these dreams she was always trapped somewhere and surrounded by shadows. She figured it had something to do with her subconscious fear of what happened…. But that was almost four months ago, she'd hoped that these dreams would have passed by now.

"Morning love," Damon said as he walked into the dorm.

"Morning," she said smiling. "What time is it?"

"About ten thirty. I would've woken you earlier, but you tossed and turned all night; I figured you might need the extra sleep."

"Thanks, I should probably get dressed," she said, her voice becoming distant.

"Kia are you ok? You've seemed detached these last few weeks."

"Yeah, I'm ok. I just don't feel too well." She went over to him and gave him a quick hug and kiss. "I'll be ok, I promise," she added reassuringly. He gave her a weak smile, not fully believing her.

"Professor, can I speak to you?" Damon asked. Harry looked up to see the Malfoy boy standing in his office doorway. "It's about Kia."

"Er…yeah, sure. Sit down," Harry said. "Is she ok?"

"I don't know," Damon said, worry showing in his features. "She hasn't been herself lately. She's distracted and detached. I can't seem to get through to her."

"I have noticed a change in her since the school year began," Harry said thoughtfully.

"I'm worried about her. She's never been like this before. I just thought you would like to know," Damon said, standing to go.

"Thanks," Harry said quietly.

Kia walked down the dark halls of Hogwarts. It was well past midnight, the only thing that could be heard was the sound of her bare feet on the stone floor. As quietly as she could she opened up the main door of Hogwarts and slipped out into the chilly night air. She had no idea why, but she had to get to the forest. She fell when she had got as far as the lake. She felt like she should turn around and go back, but she made herself continue down the forest's edge. She walked through the damp grass down to the forest, when she reached it she collapsed on the cold dirt ground. The last thing she remembered was someone picking her up and carrying her into the dark forest.

What do you think??? Tell me by REVIEWING, please! Sorry for how short it is; I promise chapter 16 will make up for it.
