Ok, Zach Frost here for the third chapter of One Lie. Like Xena has stated neither of us own anything other than Wynter. {Means dreams. } Now to get back to the story with Harry, Luna, Cho, and Draco.

Chapter 3 Nightmares

Life was miserable for Cho Chang after her dramatic public breakup with Harry Potter. She barely talked or ate anymore. Hell, she never left her room for that . She wasn't doing her homework and didn't even show up for classes. Her friends tried getting her to go out with to have fun and hopefully help her move on, but she would only ignore them and stare into space with a look of both deep thought and despair. Cho had trouble sleeping because whenever she tried to she would have horrible nightmares. It just so happens that she was about to have one…

{ Cho was with Harry in the café they broke up in, but the building looked gloomy and dilapidated. Harry was yelling, "You were Cedric's little whore weren't! Don't try to deny it either!" "But Harry, I…" Cho stated pleadingly, but stopped her with a backhand to the face, knocking her to the floor. Harry was now stand over still yelling, "What did I just fucking say, bitch? Don't fucking lie to me! I know you were and you probably enjoyed it, thinking that he loved!" Cho was cried and struggled to talk, "But H-h-harry, Cedric did l-l-l-love me. He told me he did all the t-t-time." Harry just stared down at her with a mixture of hatred and pity. "You're pathetic Cho! Just looking at you is making me sick! Go to hell like Cedric probably did! Go see you abusive bastard of an ex!" With that he kicks her in the side which causes her to roll across the floor and then fall into a hellish portal that opened up.

Cho starts to scream as she falls for what feels like forever. Demons and other demented creatures taunted and laughed at her the whole time she was plummeting through this distorted vortex. She finally sees the ground approaching rapidly and closes her eyes while bracing for what will most likely be a fatal impact. She slams into the hard earth violently, causing a small crater to form.

She groans in pain while struggling to open her eyes and get her vision in focus. Her body finally gets adjusted after her rough landing and looks up to see Cedric smiling down at her with his hand held out to help her off the ground. She tears up and grab his hand while saying his name. Once she's on her feet, she looks into his eyes and asks the question she desperately want to know, "Cedric, is it really you?" "Yes, m'dear. It's me, your beloved Cedric," he answers lovingly. That was all Cho needed to hear as she jumps into arms while wrapping her arms around his neck and plants a deep, desperately passionate kiss on his lips.

Immediately Cho notices that something is wrong though. First was that he wasn't kissing her back, but then she realizes something even more disturbing: his lips were cold. She opens her eyes to see the most horrific thing she could have imagined; Cedric's face and body was slowly decaying before her. She jumps back while screaming in sheer terror. "What's the matter, my blindly love struck little slut? Don't like what you see? You're the one who wanted to see me again, aren't you? Well, here I am bitch, and guess what?" "N-n-no…" Cho stutter out, dreading his answer. "That's right, whore, I'm horny. It's been soooo long since I've felt the warmth of your holes."

"Aaaahhhhhhh!" Cho shrieks as she turns around and starts to run away. Looking around franticly for anyone that can help, she realizes that they're in the graveyard that Cedric must have died in. "Don't you try to escape from your master, bitch!", Cho hears Cedric shouting at her in fury. Her legs start burning, but she keeps running despite the pain. Cho finally reaches the gate and pushes it open. Cho sighs in relief, thinking that she got away from Cedric. Just as she takes a step, Cho feels something grab on to her ankle, tripping her.

She looks back as she hits the ground for the third time that day and yelps in fear; a hand come out of the soil and had a firm grip on her leg. Suddenly the rest of the body rises out of the earth and throws her over it's shoulder. The corpse takes her back to the center of the graveyard, where Cedric stands grinning evilly. "It's not nice for a slave to run away from her master. Unfortunately, for you that is, now I'm going to have to punish you." The undead Cedric then punches her in the jaw, knocking her onto the ground yet again. Cho looks up while sobbing to see that she is surrounded by zombies that look all like Cedric. They all then crowd in on her, ripping and pulling at her clothes until she completely naked. Cho lets out an ear-shattering scream as they start taking turns having their way with her… }

Cho jerks awake while flailing around and screaming bloody murder. After a few minutes she realizes that she is in her own bed instead of that horrible, horrible graveyard. "Shit, that was only a nightmare, but fuck though, that was much more vivid and detailed than they normally are," Cho tells herself shakily. "Merlin damnit! I am sick of these nightmares and this miserable life of mine! The man I love was just an emotionally and sexually abusive playboy who didn't love me at all and saw me a slave only fit to fulfill his sick sexual needs! I drove away the only man that actually cared about me and wanted me to be happy. Harry probably hates my guts now because I couldn't let go of the painful past I was oblivious to until he pointed it out for me. Maybe I should just put an end to this hell I call a life and save everyone the suffering of having to put up with me."

She get off of her bed and walks over to own of her friends bed who happened to be a cutter, grabbing the knife that she had hidden under her bed. Cho then goes into the bathroom moaning myrtle is, strips down, and sits in the bathtub. "Well, goodbye cruel world", she mumbles and readies herself. She pokes her left wrist with the knife and starts to bleed a little, for she just barely missed her blood vessel. Myrtle, hearing the commotion, comes out and starts cheering her on. She was quite lonely and was hoping to get a roommate if Cho succeeded.

Cho hisses in pain and is about continue the cut, when she suddenly she remember what Harry told her to do:

"Look Cho, since you obviously still don't believe me, why don't you go ask Malfoy what happened in the graveyard. His father was there after all, and so were Crabbe and Goyles' dad. Get them to tell you happened. Just be warned, Cho, they won't be as honest with you as I just was."

"Harry has a point. Instead of feeling sorry for myself and trying to commit suicide, I should be trying to find out what really happened that night! I have no other options now, because suicide is no longer one of them now! I have to find out if Harry has been lying to me all this time or if he really has been telling the truth like he said he has been. But first I need to get out of this bloody bathtub and have my wrist cleaned up. I'll ask Draco this weekend what happened, which will give me time to build up the courage to ask." Cho wrapped a towel around her wrist and then got dressed. She grabbed her stuff and went back to her dorm.

Once Cho was gone, Myrtle yells, "Damnit Harry! I almost had a roommate to cure all of these long years of loneliness, but noooooo, she had remember something inspiring you told her! Something that gave her a sense of hope, instead of just giving into her pain and joining me as a ghost! The next bitch that comes in here is going to die so I won't be so bloody lonely anymore!" Suddenly, Ginny Weasely sneaks into the bathroom with some random dude from Gryffindor. Myrtle gets a murderously evil grin on her face and starts giggling menacingly.

This ends chapter 3 of One Lie. I was going to end it with Cho asking Draco, but I got a little carried away with her nightmare. As for Ginny supporters, don't get made at me for Ginny's sudden fate. I don't have a problem with Ginny, Xena is the one that hates her, not me. Anyway, the next chapter will be on the much lighter side of things because Xena will be covering Wynter's performance in her Grease play. Please review, but no flames.
