Chapter 23: Praying and Wishing

Aleera was secluded from her master and her siblings. She had changed from who she used to be. Hermione was in critical conditon, but never woke from the incident. it was if she was going through the same thing with her sister, except Hermione was hurt by death eaters, not werewolves. She glanced down at her lovely nails. She wanted to pierce a whole in something.

Marishka approached Aleera. "You've been like this all week."she was concerned. "What's wrong?"

"Everything!"Aleera hissed. "This happened because of ME!"

"It's not your fault. Hermione took the stake for you.."

"I am thankful she did, but yet, I.."

"You what?" Marishka was all ears.

"I need to avenge her. Retrieve that friend for her. She came to us in her time of need, and i am the one who had to be so stubborn."

Marishka's eyes flickered, ad she ow had a grin on her face.

"Please, do go on with this plan.."

"Well...we'd make sure we devour the blood of all those Death Eaters..for Hermione, of course.." Aleera had an evil smirk on her face. "We can go tonight..."

Marishka liked the sound of the plan. Aleera and her sister rushed to find Verona and Dracula, who were currently visiting Hermione. Aleera decided to start the conversation.

"We have a plan..."Aleera spoke smoothly. "To avenge Hermione.."

Dracula and the eldest bride found this to be very shocking. The Aleera they knew would never say such things.

"A sudden change in thought?" Verona was curious. "Before you wanted to tear her to shreds"

"She saved me from being destroyed. It brought back certain..memories that are too much to mention. I will avenge her! No matter what you think!"

"Relax, my darling." Dracula cooed. "We will make sure those mortals pay for what they did."

"Let's rescue that friend of Hermione." Marishka said sweetly. "It would be the least she would want us to do..."

Verona and Dracula whispered to each other, and then Verona spoke up.

"Alright sisters...time to fly!" Verona's eyes glowed a light green. Dracula grinned as they took off into the night sky. He sat down in a chair beside Hermione's bed. He prayed to the devil she would wake soon, and would be waiting until she rose from her week long slumber. Dracula held onto her hand, and realized that he had more than just a lust for Hermione.

(Transition to the Brides)

The night sky was dark, and clear. The three passed occasional clouds.

"I see they relocated, my sisters.." Verona stated. Marishka and Aleera nodded. Once the Death Eater residence came into their view, they swooped down, and landed. Aleera quickly fixed her hair from th flying. Marishka smiled, and her vampire fans were exposed and glistening white. They strolled gracefully into the building, knowing they were superior to the humans. Aleera was sensing the blood of her relative. Ginny Weasley. Aleera darted ahead, and Marishka and Verona quickly followed.

"Kind of reminds me of home..." Marishka observed her surroundings. The dungeons were dark and dreary, with cold stone walls. Aleera's eyes were glowing violet. She knew she was getting close to Ginny Weasley. They heard a human coming down the hallway.

"Find her, Aleera" Verona took order. "Marishka! Finish the mortal!"

Marishka and Aleera took Verona's demands into affect. After a minute or two, Aleera found a red haired girl who fit the description that Hermione gave to her. Ginny began to breath heavily, and backed away. Aleera came to the cell bars.

"It's ok.."Aleera was testing out this thing called sincerity. "I am here to help you on behalf of My Master and Hermione Dragomir."

Ginny shivered out of shock and fear. "She's...alive?"

Aleera nodded. She used her strength to tear the door off its hinges. Ginny was still stiff, sitting on the floor. Aleera entered, and offered her hand. Ginny didn't move.

"But...they'll try to.."

"We can tear them to shreds." Aleera snickered. Ginny accepted Aleera's offer, and was now standing on two feet. Ginny noticed that Aleera's facial complexion was sort of similar to hers, but thought it was only a coincidence. Other footsteps were coming. Aleera and Ginny ran through the hallways to find Verona and Marishka.

"Where are we going to take her?" Marishka asked.

"To the Order of the Phoenix.." Aleera answered.

"Bbbut can't I see Hermione."

"I'm sorry, but our master strictly told us that you must be returned to the Order's Headquarters.." Verona spoke to Ginny.

"She's my best friend! I've been looking for her for months, and have gone practically insane!! Please!"

Just as Verona was going to give her an answer, the Death Eaters arrived. Some with silver stakes, and some with wands. Wand sparks were shooting towards them. Aleera took Ginny, and soared into the sky. Ginny was praying that she would survive the night. Verona and Marishka went to fight the Death Eaters. Aleera looked back at her sisters one last, and then headed to the destination.

Bellatrix Lestrange was in range of one of the sisters. Marishka and Verona were currently sinking their teeth into Crabbe and Goyle Senior. Verona finished drinking the blood before her younger sister. She saw a stake flying near her. Verona's eyes widened in terror. She screamed as she flew into the pudgy human. Her blow knocked him down. Just after, Bellatrix grinned with evil, and stabbed a stake into Verona. Marishka howled, and flew into the sky.

Verona turned to dust, and was no more.
