Cedric to the rescue! Again, i need comments! Do you like it or not?
Running around the corner, Cedric pounded on the door to open it but it was locked. "Charlie! Charlie! I'm coming!" he screamed, still hearing Charlie's painful screams. Determined to get inside, he opened the door with his wand, busting the door out of his way. Running inside with his wand at ready, he saw that Charlie was not bleeding, nor was she in pain. She was sitting still with eyes closed, peacefully sleeping.
Cedric was shocked that Charlie wasn't in pain, nor was she bleeding, there was no cuts on her neck, and there was no Vincent. Vincent had suddenly vanished. Keeping his guard up he looked for him, "Where are you?" he yelled out. "Come out Vincent! I don't care if you're stronger then me, I will fight you!" he yelled as he circled the room.
"Why?" Cedric heard Vincent's echo in the room. Making Cedric more nervous, he didn't know where he was but he could hear him. "You did something to Charlie and I don't know what-" Cedric didn't know how to put it out. Confused by the scene, he knew he just saw him biting Charlie and now she was fine. Something didn't make sense. "Why are you defending her?" he heard Vincent's voice again, "Why do you care with what happens to this girl?"
Cedric remained silent as he continued to look around like a mad man, "You didn't defend Charlie in the beginning at the bar?" Vincent's voice was now in his head.
"I did! I told Ann-" Cedric was defending himself now.
"After Charlie left! And you call yourself a gentlemen?" Vincent yell echoed through the room with anger.
"Where are you?" Cedric yelled out.
"Why? So I can tare out your lungs from your chest? So I can rip your head off quicker then you can breath? Would you actually fight a vampire?"
"Yes!" Cedric yelled out with great confidence.
"You would fight a vampire? This is exciting! You're more of an idiot then I thought!" Vincent was now taunting his courage.
"Yes, I'd fight you." Cedric said with great pride.
"Why?"
"Because-"
"Because why?"
"Because . . ."
"Say it!"
"Because . . . you have no right to-"
"Yes?"
Cedric was having a hard time just letting the words out because he was afraid, not of Vincent but of something else that he couldn't understand.
"Cedric Diggory, say it."
"You have no right to touch her." he blurted out.
Vincent appeared from behind with a calm look on his face, as Cedric quickly turned around but not fast enough. In a blink of an eye Vincent snatched his wand from his Cedric's hand. Cedric jumped back with surprise, he was sure Vincent would attack him now but he remained where he was.
"Let her go!" Cedric growled at her.
"From what?"
"You've hypnotized her, didn't you? If you did then snap her out of it, if not then I will."
"She's not hypnotized, she's sleeping."
"Then what the hell happened? I saw you bite her, she was screaming and- you made her look like she was . . . something else." Cedric wasn't sure how to explain what had happened.
Vincent remained calm while Cedric looked furious. Playing with his wand, waving it around, he walked passed Cedric towards Charlie. Cedric quickly walked in front of him to stop him, "Step away from her." he boldly said forgetting that he was a vampire.
With his cold purple eyes Vincent sneered at him, "Watch yourself, I have your wand and you can't defend yourself." Still Cedric didn't move, "I may not, but as long as you are here, I'm not letting you touch her." Cedric said with a little crack in his voice. Cedric was scared, he could feel his heart beating quicker then before. Blood was rushing through his head. Sweating like a pig.
Vincent could feel all this. Smiling at him he said, "Your scared, aren't you?" Cedric shook his head, but Vincent knew all to well he was lying.
'I just need to distract him somehow, so I can get her out of here.' Cedric thought to himself but Vincent read what he had in his mind.
'You don't need to.' Vincent told him in his mind.
Cedric look stumped as he took another step back, "You can-" he was about to say something but he heard Vincent say in his mind, 'Read your mind? Of course! That's how I knew you were here the whole time!'
"You were outside just by the alley, hearing everything Charlie and I were talking about with the extendable ears. You were spying on us." Vincent said as he walked around Cedric, trying to intimidate him.
"Because I didn't know what Charlie was doing! I wanted to talk to her-"
"After what you did to her at the Bar? You did nothing to defend her!"
"I did! I defended her-"
"After she left! Why would she want to see your face after what you did? You ought to be ashamed of yourself-"
"I was. I was ashamed for not having to say anything at the time-"
"And now you look to redeem yourself by protecting her?"
"This is different! Not after you seduced her and tried to bite her- or not- I don't even know what the hell you did to her?"
"Are you jealous of me?"
"No-"
"You're lying!"
"I'm not!"
"If there's one thing I know Cedric is I can detect lies in an instant, so don't lie to me or else I rip your lungs out right now. Are you jealous?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because, she's not-" Cedric was stumped, he didn't know how to say anything. 'I can't think! I don't want to say it-' he was fighting himself, "You can't even face yourself to say it. Coward!" Vincent quickly hissed at him, "I can!" Cedric yelled back, "Then don't be afraid! Just say it!"
Again Cedric was stumbling on his words, Vincent shook his head and chuckled, "I can beat you to the prey because I know how to face myself. You can't!" telling him.
Then Cedric had an epiphany, looking at him then at Charlie he asked, "Why do you even care about Charlie? What is she to you?"
Vincent then gave a small smirk, Cedric then realize it might have been the wrong question to ask him, since he saw Vincent's eyes turn into a deep red. It was too fast for Cedric, Vincent lunged towards Cedric, swiftly moving back ready to fight. Then in an instant he vanished! Cedric didn't know what had happened, he fell to the ground.
