Chapter 6

Remembering

Hermione started shaking so hard that she could barley stand. Harry had to hold her steady so that she wouldn't fall over.

Hermione felt all the pains build up inside her. She had almost been raped. A vampire had attacked her. She had broken her leg and it still hurt like hell, even though it was almost healed. She was in vampire city. She was dusty and dirty and she was just about to face a creature in a maze. She really wanted to go home.

"How am I to fight the Bayatt?" Hermione questioned.

Harry said nothing but pressed something in her hand. Hermione looked down at it. It was a knife. It was really that big but it was better than nothing.

Hermione turned to look at Harry. He wasn't in his vampire form right now so he looked quite appealing to her. He had black hair that was on the longish side. He looked like he had been working out his whole life. But Hermione thought that his most astonishing feature were his eyes. They were a bright green color that seemed to light up the dark. Hermione smiled at him.

"Thank you for everything," she said then leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

Hermione mentally slapped herself. How could she fall for him? He was a vampire, she was a human.

Harry smiled slightly then turn and gently pulled her down the tunnel. They got to the end of the tunnel and it opened into a humongous cavern. Hermione looked ahead and saw an opening in the far wall. The she looked up and turned around. Everywhere she looked there were vampires sitting in stands. This was like some kind of stadium so they could watch me in the maze, Hermione thought.

Some of the vampires were hooting and hollering at her. Others were just watching her expectantly as if the expected her to curl up in a ball and cry, which she desperately wanted to do. The noise was deafening.

She heard the loud horn again and then Harry nudged her forward gently. She started towards the opening. Once inside the maze, Hermione heard the crowd become quiet. They probably just want to watch me get eaten alive by the monster in silence so they can her every one of my screams clearly. Hermione thought.

It was dark inside the maze since there were no torches and it was night (vampires only come out at night) it seemed quite a bit darker then usual. Hermione clutched the knife tightly in her hand then put the other hand to her throat, where her necklace sat. It was a simple yellow round stone. She shut her eyes and remembers how she had gotten it…

fLaShBaCk

A younger Hermione rushed down the stairs of her home.

"Mother! Father!" she yelled, "the vampires are attacking the village!"

Her mother rushed over to her.

"Shhhh…its okay baby, come with me!"

Hermione took her mothers hand and watched as her father locked the door and started piling their furniture in front of it.

"I'm scared mommy!" Hermione cried.

Screams were heard outside and smashing sounds were heard frequently.

"Just listen to me Hermione and you'll be alright," mother said gently.

Her mother kneeled down on the ground and pulled back a rug. Underneath it was a trap door. Her mother opened it.

"Get in Hermione, and don't come out until it all over!" mother ordered.

"Yes mommy," Hermione said and started crying, "I love you mommy! I love you daddy!"

"I love you to honey!" mother said then hugged Hermione and kissed her on the cheek.

Her father swept over and hugged her, "We love you Hermione, always remember that!"

Just then there was a pounding on the door.

"Get in the hideout Hermione," mother shrilled.

Hermione sat on the edge and just as she was about to hop in her mother cried, "WAIT!"

Hermione turned to her mother expectantly.

"Take this," her mother said taking off her necklace and giving it to Hermione. It was a simple yellow round stone. Hermione took it in her hand and squeezed it tightly.

"May it be a light in the dark for you!" mother whispered, "Now get in the hideout! I love you!'

Hermione hopped into the dark hole and watched as her mother the trap door and heard the rug being rolled back over top of it.

eNd oF fLaShBaCk

Hermione leaned against one of the walls in the maze and wiped some tears off her face. Her parents had died in that vampire attack. She had come out of the hideout when it was over and had found her parents dead.

It was so horrible and was one of her most painful memories. She hadn't talked about it to anyone and it was eating her up inside.

Hermione thought about what her mother had said to her when she had given her the necklace…

"May it be a light in the dark for you"

…Maybe she meant it literally. Maybe it was an actual light! Hermione held the stone in the palm of her hand and looked at it.

She thought for a moment then said, "Lumina sus!"

Suddenly the necklace glowed faintly and then lit up! Hermione sighed confidently. The light made her feel as if her mother was there with her.

Hermione heard a roar somewhere ahead of her and stepped forward. She was going to get this over with as soon as possible!
