CHAPTER 22
Today was the final Quiditch match of the year. Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. It was the end of June as I sat at the end of the Gryffindor table and ate in silence as a bunch of people wished all the other players good luck. Even others were avoiding me too! I sighed. Once I was done my porridge, I got up and left the castle, passing Jake on the way, who was on his way for breakfast, as I made my way down to the Quiditch pitch.
I changed into my Quiditch robes and walked out of the tent to look at the conditions and saw Blaise Zabini stare at me from across the pitch. Then began to jog to me and I frowned.
"Madison" He said.
"Yeah?" I asked. He looked down and took a deep.
"Just spit it out, I don't have all day" I snapped and he looked up
"Look, Draco's sorry-" Without even hearing the rest of what he had to say, I turned around and muttered
"Yeah, im sure he is"
I walked back in the changing rooms and sat close to Jake as he whispered comforting words into my ear.

I dived fast to avoid a bludger and then went straight upwards towards the goal posts.
"Closer, come on, closer" I muttered. Once I was close enough, I shot and-
"SCORE! 260-150 Gryffindor" I looked around and saw Ginny and Jake passing the Quaffle back and forth. Jake shot and scored again. I flew to catch the Quaffle and after many swerves and a pass to Jacob and back to me, I shot and scored yet another goal, leaving Gryffindor with 280 points and 130 points ahead of Slytherin.
I ducked just in time to avoid another bludger and sped up to the other team's chaser and snatched the Quaffle from him. Then, I turned around and pushed my Firebolt to the limit and scored yet another goal.
"POTTER'S SPOTTED THE SNITCH!" I spun around and gasped. If he caught it, we would officially win the Cup!
"MALFOY IS AFTER THE SNITCH TOO!" I rounded and stole the Quaffle from the other chaser as she was passing me and I sped towards the goal post. Then, I passed to Ginny, who passed to Jacob, who passed back to Ginny and then back to me. After ducking out of the way of Fred, I shot and
"AW MISSED" I turned around and-
"MALFOY'S GOT THE SNITCH!"
"No!" I whispered. But he DID have the snitch.
"SLYTHERIN WINS THE CUP!"
The Slytherins cheered as their team did a round of glory with their hero in the lead.
I shook my head and steered my broom towards the ground though just before I touched down, a bludger came out of no where on my right and hit me in the rids, knocking me off my broom. I screamed out in pain as I landed on my broken ribs. I looked around and saw the Slytherin beater snicker. Jacob immediately turned his broom towards me and knelt down. I winced as my body repaired its self. I could take away the vampire but the healing was something I had no control over.
I got up and walked towards my team who hadn't moved to help me. Once I was about 15 feet away, Ron began to yell at me.
"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" I stopped in my tracks, shocked.
"MY FAULT?" I shrieked, walking forward again.
"YEAH! IF YOU HADNT MISSED THAT LAST SHOT, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE A REMATCH" I hissed.
"Of course" I said sarcastically.
"It seems as though the Gryffindor chaser and keeper have some issues"
I looked up in the stands at the commenter and glared.
"Aren't you going to go and snog your boyfriend?" He said as his head gestured towards Malfoy. Beside me, Jacob snarled. My eyes widened in shock… again.
"What's that suppose to mean?" I asked when I was right in front of him. By now, the whole audience had quieted down to hear and my team mates were standing 10 feet or so behind me.
"You know exactly what I mean. We all know you and Malfoy are snogging buddies-"
"HOW DARE YOU!?" I screeched at the same time that Jake yelled at Ron to back off in a rather rude way.
The wind around us blew my hair wild. My lip curled over my teeth as I unwillingly switched in full vampire mode. This was the part I was dreading. The part where I loose complete control.
I growled and Ron began to retreat backwards. I sank into a crouch but gasped when a hot hand wrapped around my arms and tried to pull me back.
"Maddie, no!" I felt a sudden rush of heat ripple through me and I easily tossed Jacob aside and pounced. Some of the people in the crowd screamed while a ripping sound filled my ears but didn't turn to see where it had come from.
I was only a few feet away from him when I was thrown to the side. I gasped. It was like being hit by a truck speeding down the highway. I jumped up and looked at what had hit me and I stood there, shocked again. There stood a giant russet wolf, sunken down into a crouch, teeth bearing. Was Jacob really risking his secret just to save Ron?
I blinked and one second, Jacob was in front of me and the next, I was under him, my face inches from his muzzle. I bent my knees and pushed hard on his stomach and he flew to the side.
I growled and pounced at Ron again, not thinking clearly. I screamed in pain as sharp teeth sank into my right arm and pulled me back. I snapped at Ron who turned and ran towards the side along with the rest of the students.
Jacob jerked hard and tightened his grip on my arm. I swung around and clawed at his fur. He yelped and jumped back. Now, I circled around him, the humans long forgotten. I snarled and dived towards him.
A sudden burst of heat ran though me and I landed on all fours while my clothes lay in shreds behind me. I looked down and saw pure white paws. I yelped in shock and looked at Jacob. He stood there with a shocked doggy expression on his face.
Jacob's POV
Fucking stupid vampire, I thought as I growled at her. Stealing my powers, I thought as I growled again. I didn't realize it yet but it was the werewolf in me taking over and unless I stopped, this was a fight that wouldn't end until one of us died.
And then he snapped at me viciously. I jumped over him and snapped at his flanks. He spun around and bit my neck. I howled in pain and snapped at him again, getting him good in the leg. He yelped again and growled, his muzzle twitching.
I looked down at my aching paw and saw red blood staining the white fur. I looked up at Jacob to make sure he wasn't attacking me and then back down at my paw. I yelped softly when I saw the blood was still there. Why wasn't I healing?
I roared as Jacob had rammed into my shoulder when I was looking down. I howled as his teeth sank into my left shoulder and I smelt the blood. With his teeth jammed into my shoulder and his paws clawing at my sides, I collapsed onto my back and whimpered.
He immediately let go of my shoulder and sank his teeth into my throat instead. I gasped and tried to kick him away but I couldn't reach him. I tried to roll over but I was stuck. I tried to breath but I couldn't.
Im sorry Jacob. Im sorry it had to be like this. I love you… I closed my eyes so I wouldn't have to see the world fade away.
Jacob's POV
I locked my jaw around her neck as she kicked at me. I growled when she tried to move. Just a few more seconds and it would all be over.
She began to squirm less and closed her eyes as a big, fat tear rolled from her eye. And then I realized what I was doing. I was killing the girl I loved.
I immediately let go of her and she rolled over to her side and didn't move. I whimpered and nudged her back with my nose.
No! Please no, I begged. I thought she could heal! So why the hell wasn't she healing?!
I looked around at all the students and teachers in the stands. They all wore the same fearful expression with the occasional tears. I turned back to Madison and whimpered again. I pressed my head to her ribs and listened.
At first, I heard nothing but as I listened harder, I heard her heart give a feint 'gallump'.
Then, across the field, a large coven of vampires emerged.
