YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT, EVEN IF I TOLD YOU
Chapter 12
Fights
When Hermione woke up, she was in what seemed like pillow land. Everything was soft and cushy and she was incredibly comfortable. Hermione took a deep breath and sat up. She smiled when she saw Harry sitting at the end of the bed, staring at her, looking quite concerned.
"Morning sunshine," Hermione cooed happily, still feeling as if her pillow land was there.
Harry smiled slightly. "How are you feeling? Are you still sore at all?"
Hermione shook her head and gushed, "Nope. No pains at all. Whatever you did, I'm quite cured. I'm really sorry you had to come after me. I swear I had everything under control until those skanks showed up. I really don't know what their problem was; I never did anything to them."
"Soreeyana, Dominique, and Cheyenne work for Master Collins. If he wants someone dead then he sends out the girls. I really honestly don't know what you did, but I know that you're not safe at all," Harry tried to explain.
Hermione felt the pillows starting to fall away. "What do you mean? Do I have to go into hiding or something?"
Harry nodded slowly. "That was my original plan. But I have a different idea that would keep you safer."
"What is it?"
"I thought that maybe I could sneak you back to your village. Then they definitely wouldn't know where you were. And you would be safe."
There was a silence and then Hermione spoke. "You want to send me away?"
"No-"
"THEN WHY ARE YOU?"
"Hermione, it will be safer this way. You won't have to worry about Master Collins trying to kill you. You'll be safe. That's all I want," Harry tried desperately to come up with the right words.
Hermione had tears in her eyes. "I can't understand this! Why would you want me to go away?"
"Hermione! I just explained to you the reason why! And do not even get me started on the things that I don't understand," Harry retaliated.
Crossing her arms across her chest, Hermione looked confused. "What are you talking about?"
"Don't act like you don't know," Harry scoffed.
"I don't!" Hermione nearly screamed.
Harry lunged forward and for a moment Hermione thought he was going to strike her. But all Harry did was whip her hair away from her neck, exposing Seev's bite marks. "You don't know? Well then what the hell is this?" Harry gestured to the grotesque holes and then looked away in disgust.
For once, Hermione didn't know what to say. She just sat there with her mouth open.
"That's what I thought," Harry accused. The hurt was evident in his voice, but it was also clear that he was angry.
Hermione wanted to snip some witty comeback at him, but when she looked at him, she couldn't. She was heartbroken. If she left, Hermione would never see Harry again. But if she stayed, she would most likely be killed.
Hermione stood up swiftly. There was no point in being here. Harry didn't want her, so there was no point at all.
As Hermione walked towards the door, Harry called after her, "Hermione! What are you doing? You can't go out there alone! It's not safe!"
When he started to get up, Hermione turned slowly around and looked him straight into the eyes. "Harry, stop! Just leave me alone, okay?"
Feeling the tears starting up, Hermione whirled around and ran outside, not wanting Harry to see her. Running a few steps, Hermione stopped and looked around. There was a low, rumbling sound of thunder in the distance and lightning cut across the sky in a jagged line. Hermione wrapped her arms around her body and started to cry.
"I love you, Harry," she whispered sadly.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Hermione stiffened. Before she could turn around, someone clonked her on the back of the head with something heavy and everything faded to black.

Well, that's the chapter. I'm sorry that Hermione and Harry have all these fights/disagreements. It's really all part of the story, and if they didn't have fights, it would be really boring. :) So...I hope you enjoyed this installment and the next one will be up in a little while.
Love,
