Chapter 14:

A Battle

Zeta quickly took out her wand, and made a light. She sighed, as the light shown on Malfoy.

"In a hurry?" He asked, with a smile, holding his hand out. Zeta grabbed it, as he lifted her up. He put his hand around her waist, and held her to him. She smiled sheepishly, and pulled away. He put his hand back on her waist, and began to lead her in the oppisite direction.

"Where are we going?" She asked, wondering what was going to happen that night.

"It's a surprise..." He whispered, sending a chill up her spine. She followed him, but could not help but think this was a huge mistake, she was about to pronounce her alligence to the Dark Lord. This would forever be with her, and there was no way out.

"Well the last time you had a surprise..." Zeta let her sentence trail off.

"Are you saying that wasn't a good thing?" He asked playfully.

"Oh, I don't know..." She told him, coldness in her voice, "The only problem was I woke up covered in wounds I can't identify." Draco tighted his grip, as Zeta yelled out in pain, he had pushed his hand right into one of her wounds.

"Draco..." She told him, beginning to get nervous; he didn't let go, "Draco, that's right on a wound..." She told him, struggling to get free, and becoming short of breath.

"I know..." He whispered, as her stomach went to her throat. This was a mistake. Zeta finally elbowed him off.

"Draco, that hurt." She told him, as if she was a mother yelling at a child.

"I didn't notice." He told her, a sick hungry look in his eyes.

"I think I should just go..." She told him, turning the other way, and beginning to walk. Draco caught her wrist.

She turned, and stared at him, an angry look in his eyes. His pale gray eyes, staring at her, as if she was fresh meat.

"Draco let go..." She told him nervously.

"No." He hissed shortly, pulling her, as she struggled to get away.

"LET GO!" She shouted, as he shot her an icy look. Draco tightened his grip on her wrist, and pulled her quickly to his chest. She looked up at him, an saw the cold look in his eyes. The hatred, the desire, the wanting. To him she was just a thing, that he wanted.

"Let go, Draco." She whispered, as he put his hand around her waist. She could feel his steady breathing, as she felt trapped by his strong hold.

"No.." He told her shortly, and he let go of her wrist, placing his other hand on her back. She had to hold back from yelling out in pain, as Draco pushed his hand hard into her rib. She raised up on her toes, to try and dull the pain, but Draco only tightened, pushing her closer to him.

"Ahh.." She sucked in air through her clenched teeth, "Draco let go..." She told him once again, as he finally did. He took his hand off her back, and off her waist, as she began to walk the other way. Shaking slightly, she tried to walk as far away from him as possible. Without warning Draco yelled out a curse.

"Stupefy," He shouted, as a bright red light shot from the tip of his wand. Zeta quickly ducked, and turned around, to see him preparing to shoot again. She nervously took out her own wand, and held it steady, lining it up with Draco.

"Petrificus Totalus," Zeta shouted at him, as he moved out of the way of the blue light, the thunder rumbled above.

"Nice try Arwin." Draco yelled to her, as the rain began to pour, "But that will never work."

"Shut it Malfoy, and let me go!" Zeta screamed at him, the rain imparing her vision. She saw him prepare another shot.

"Incendio," She heard him shout, and a red light flew past her. A fire errupted 10 feet behind her, and was rapidly forming a circle, surrounding her, and choking her off from the rest of the grounds.

"Expelliarmus!" She screamed at him, as he ducked. She saw his figure walk up to her, and begin to circle the fire that was forming around her.

"Well, well, well Arwin..." He told her above the crackling fire, "Seems to me, I have won. Check...mate..." Zeta shot him a cold look, as the rain continued to fall, and the circle finished forming. She was trapped.

"Stupefy," She heard Draco say, and before she could duck, she felt the spell hit her in the chest. She fell to the ground, and lost conciousness.

Zeta was once again running through the forest, but was not alone, Harry was at her side, holding her hand, leading her somewhere. They were both smiling, and the sun was shining. The bright light from above lit up the entire forest, as they continued to run, Harry holding her hand, leading her someplace. She knew not where, but her mind was telling her it was good.

They both entered a small clearing in the forest, and Harry smiled, letting go of her hand. He leaned in a kissed her, as she kissed back, he pulled away, and she noticed he had turned into Malfoy. Zeta screamed but could not make a sound as Draco stood and laughed. She ran up to him, as he grabbed her around the neck. She felt his cold hands slowly cut off the air around her, as she was lifted off the ground. Zeta struggled to breath, as Malfoy tightened his grip.

"Arwin..." She heard him say angrily, as she was shook violently, "Arwin!" Zeta sat up rigid, suddenly awake.
