Chap 9
- Hermione POV -
It had been two weeks since Sam and I had started dating when Blaise received a letter from Ron stating that he was needed back in England to help with a case.
"B? What's the matter?" I asked from Sam's lap. We were down at the Black's again for dinner and Blaise had been extremely quiet for the whole night. He pulled something out of his pocket and held it out to me. I stood up and grabbed the piece of paper in confusion.
Zabini,
You are needed at home. We need our full quartet for a new case. Kings asked me to write and ask you to return home. The case is top priority and highly confidential. Kings has asked for his four best and you are one of them.
I know wherever you are, Herms is with you. Please tell her to respond to my letters. Everytime I send Pig he returns home with no reply. I want her to know that I still love her and I miss her.
Thanks
Ron
"Oh B," I said. I tried to ignore the last part of the letter as I wrapped him in a hug.
"Che farò Mione? Non posso lasciare Leah quando l'ho presa appena," Blaise said desperately as he hugged me tightly. (What am I going to do Mione? I can't leave Leah when I just got her,)
"So Blaise. In qualche modo non penso che lei la perderà. Sarà duro per un mentre ma posso insegnarla come usare la chiacchierata video sul computer dunque lei può vederla. Il vincolo di imprenta l'aiuterà due soggiorno insieme," I said to him. (I know Blaise. Somehow I don't think you are going to lose her. It will be hard for a while but I can teach you how to use video chat on the computer so you can see her. The imprint bond will help you two stay together.)
"Go talk to her in private. Explain everything," I said. He nodded and kissed my cheek before he and Leah walked outside to talk. Once they were gone, I ripped the bottom part of the note off and tore it into lots of little pieces.
"You ok gorgeous?" Sam asked as I sat back down.
"Yep. I'm fine," I replied. I may have been a bit short but I just felt angry. Sam noticed the tension in my shoulders and nuzzled his nose against my neck.
"Is Blaise ok?" Bella asked.
"Yea, he just has to go home to England for a while," I said.
"Why is that?" Uncle Charlie asked me.
"He is needed on a big case apparently," I replied. I turned when I saw a flash of something in the corner of my eye.
"What's up Mione?" Jared asked when he saw my head snap to the side for the third time.
"Nothing, I just swore I saw something outside. I'm ok," I said. I took one more look outside before I focused my attention onto the TV screen.
Blaise and Leah soon returned. Leah had been crying but obviously not heavily.
"Mione, I'm gunna head home the day after tomorrow. I want to find out what the hell is going on so I can get back as soon as possible. Leah and I are gunna head off," He said. I nodded and hugged him and Leah tightly. They waved goodbye to everyone and walked out.
Slowly, the boys began to leave until it was just Bella, Billy, Uncle Charlie, Sam, Jake and I left.
"Well, I'm gunna head home. Bella you're staying here with Jake so I'm assuming Mione you are going with Sam," Uncle Charlie said.
"If that's ok," I said.
Charlie waved his hand at me and said "of course. I was just gunna head home and go to bed. Have a good night."
He kissed Bella and I on the cheek and walked outside. Sam and I stood up a few minutes after he had left.
"See ya tomorrow Bells, Jake. Goodnight Billy," I said. I kissed them all on the cheek before I grabbed Sam's hand and we walked out to the truck. He helped me in and I smiled as he kissed my hand.
We drove to his place silently, just holding hands. When we got there, I was stunned at how gorgeous it was. It was a two storey house with a porch out the front. The house itself was redbrick and had a real homey feel to it.
"Sam, your house is gorgeous," I said as he lifted me out of the truck. I kissed him softly as he held me in the air. I smiled into the kiss as he put me down and pushed me gently against the truck.
"I have been waiting to do that all night," Sam said when we pulled apart. "I didn't think it would be appropriate in front of your uncle."
I laughed and rested my head against Sam's chest. We were about to walk inside when it started bucketing down rain. Sam and I looked up before taking off running. We made it to the porch but by the time we got there, we were soaked.
"Well," Sam said and I couldn't help but laugh. He grabbed his keys and opened the door. As I looked around, Sam went and grabbed us some towels. I dried my hair and body and laughed at the steam rising off Sam.
"Why don't you take a shower? I'll grab you some clothes and then make some hot chocolate," Sam said.
"Sounds great," I pressed a kiss to his lips and smiled when Sam purred.
"Bathroom is this way," he said. He grabbed my hand and led me upstairs and down the hall.
"There are towels in there just hang on and I'll get you some clothes," Sam said. He walked into the room just down from the bathroom and came out a few minutes later with a shirt and some basketball shorts.
"Just pull the string tight and they should fit," Sam said as he handed me the clothes. I kissed him again and slipped into the bathroom.
- Sam POV -
I watched as the bathroom door shut and sighed. I took a deep breath before turning and walking back to my room.
I grabbed a pair of sweatpants and got changed considering I was practically dry. I left my shirt off and just walked downstairs to the kitchen. I grabbed the stuff I would need for hot chocolate and turned the stove on. As the milk heated I grabbed out the mugs and some marshmallows.
About 15 minutes later just as I was pouring the hot chocolate into the mugs, I smelt the most intoxicating scent - Hermione mixed in with my body wash. I turned and gasped softly.
Hermione was only wearing my button down shirt with the first two buttons undone which came to her knees. She was braiding her hair as she walked and she had never looked more beautiful.
"I'm just giving you a bunch of my clothes. You look amazing," I said. She walked over to me and I lifted her up and placed her on the counter. I handed her a full mug of hot chocolate and smiled when she moved her knees slightly so I could stand in between her legs.
"Peppermint?" She asked after she took a sip.
"Yea. Mum taught me how to make it," I said. I moved a strand of loose hair to behind her ear and smiled.
We drank the hot chocolate in silence just staring at each other. Hermione rested her empty cup down beside mine and her arms went around my neck. I slipped mine around her waist and moved a little closer.
"That was yummy," she whispered.
"I can think of something yummier," I said before I pressed my lips to hers. Her mouth opened instantly and our tongues danced together. I moaned at the taste of hot chocolate with peppermint and Hermione. Her hands moved from my neck to my scalp, her nails scraping my head as she went.
I deepened the kiss even more as I felt her nails scrape down my neck and bare chest. I grabbed her ankles slightly and wrapped them around my waist. I felt them lock together before I lifted her up into my arms. Her arms returned to their position around my neck and one of mine rested across her back and the other under her thighs to hold her up.
I walked carefully out to my living room, our lips still attached. I sat down on the couch with Mione straddling my lap. I pulled away from the kiss and pressed kisses across her jaw and down her neck, moving my shirt slightly as I went. I reached the junction between her neck and shoulder and bit lightly. She moaned above me and her nails scraped down me again. I moved away from that spot when I felt the alpha wolf in me crying out to mark her.
I pulled away and took in some deep breaths. The sight of Mione above me panting was incredibly beautiful.
"You were right, that was much tastier," Mione said. I smiled and kissed her lightly again before she rested her head on my shoulder.
I knew that now it was going to be harder to be away from her. The alpha in me had tasted her flesh slightly and he wanted more. He was crying out to mark her as the alpha female.
"Want me to put a movie on?" I asked her. She nodded slightly and slipped off my lap. I grabbed a movie and slipped it into the DVD player before returning to my seat. Mione lay down slightly with her head against my chest. I rubbed her arm and smiled.
We watched two movies before Mione yawned. I turned the TV off and lifted her bridal style into my arms.
"Bedtime Princess," I said. She yawned and rested her head against my neck. I turned off the lights and walked up to my bedroom. I kicked the covers back and placed her on the bed. I then walked over to the thermostat and turned it down.
"Why did you do that? We are gunna freeze," Mione said.
"Mione, I run a temp of 108, this gives me an excuse to cuddle you if you have to look for warmth," I said with a sly smile. "It also means you won't over heat tonight."
"Aren't you smart," Mione said with a cheeky grin. I flicked her nose and lay down beside her. I pulled her closer to me and she rested her head on my chest.
She pressed a light kiss to my pec before her eyes closed. I watched her for a while as the moonlight danced through the window. She was bathed in an erethral glow and I started thanking every god above for giving me this beautiful girl. I soon fell asleep cuddled into the arms of my imprint.
Around 4am, I woke up knowing it was my turn to patrol for a few hours. I carefully slipped out from under Mione and wrote her a quick note. I kissed her forehead before I walked outside and phased.
Anything to report? I asked Jared.
Nope. Everything has been quiet. Ran up to Forks to check on Charlie but the leech hasn't been back, Jared replied.
Good. Paul is taking over at 8 right? I asked.
Jared nodded in his head before phasing and going home. I was left alone with my thoughts then. I ran the perimeter but couldn't stop thinking about Mione.
I smelt around but nothing seemed out of place so I guess I would have to be bored for the next four hours.
- Hermione POV -
I woke up at 730 and felt a weird sensation of loneliness. I reached for Sam but all I felt was a piece of paper.
Hey Princess,
I had patrol and I should be home around 8. We may have the boys over for breakfast but hopefully not :)
See you when I get home,
Love Sam xx
I folded the note and put it into the breast pocket of Sam's shirt. I went to the bathroom before I walked downstairs to the kitchen.
I grabbed out some bacon from the fridge along with eggs and sausages. I found some pancake mix in the cupboard and made it up quickly before getting started on everything.
I was serving the food up when a pair of tanned arms wrapped around my waist and Sam was kissing my neck.
"Looks amazing. The food does as well," He said as he moved my hair to the other side of my neck to continue kissing.
"Sam, let me serve the food up then you can attack my neck," I said. Sam didn't move his arms as I moved between the table and the stove. When all the food was served I spun in Sam's arms and wrapped my arms around his neck.
He didn't speak instead he just lifted me up and placed me on the counter again. I grinned as he pressed his lips to mine. He slowly deepened the kiss and I moaned as his tongue explored my mouth. Ron had never kissed me like this. Now that I think about it, his kisses were extremely sloppy and gross.
"Morning Princess," Sam said with a smile as he pulled away.
"Morning. Come on wolf boy, breakfast time," I said as I slipped off the counter.
Sam and I walked over to the table and sat down. He pulled my feet into his lap as I served us both some food. We ate in silence with Sam rubbing his hand up and down my legs.
I surprised both myself and Sam when I grabbed seconds of the food.
"Wow, I've never seen you eat so much voluntarily Princess," Sam said.
"I'm feeling quite hungry this morning," I said honestly as I chowed into my plate of seconds.
After breakfast, Sam and I decided to just bum around his place. About an hour after breakfast, I got a phone call from Blaise.
"Hey B," I said as Sam kissed my neck.
"Hey Mione. Do you have a problem if I spend the day with Leah? You and I can spend tonight together," Blaise asked.
"That's fine B. Have a good day and I'll see you at home tonight. Love you," I said before Sam hung the phone up.
"Sam," I protested but I couldn't continue as Sam's lips were placed on mine.
We kissed for a while before a knock was heard at the door.
"Ignore it," Sam whispered as he brought his lips back to mine. The knocking became more insistent and with a growl, Sam walked over to the front door. I heard him talking to the person on the other side of the door softly but I could sense he was getting angry.
I walked out of the living room and looked at the door. Sam was taking up the full doorframe so I couldn't see who was on the other side but from the smell of cologne it was a man.
"Sam?" I asked. He turned to me with a grateful smile and held his hand out. I walked over to him and he pulled me into his side.
"Who is this?" The man asked as he leered at me.
"This is Hermione, get your filthy eyes off her," Sam said dangerously before he pushed me slightly behind me.
"Hermione, it is a pleasure. My name is Joshua," He said. His tone reminded me of Lucius and I shivered.
"Do not speak to her," Sam hissed out. I was practically standing behind him by now.
"Oh Sam, I just wanted to say hello the little lady who stole my son's heart," Joshua said and I was stunned.
"Son?" I questioned as I looked up at Sam.
"Unfortunately. This is Joshua Uley, my deadbeat father who left when I was a kid," Sam said. "You need to leave."
"I don't think so. I want to get to know the girl who is deemed good enough for my son," Joshua said with another leer.
Sam began to shake in anger and his voice went incredibly scary "you have no say in my life. You haven't since you left when I was three. Now, LEAVE!"
Joshua held up his hands, winked at me and left. Sam slammed the door and rested against it. I grabbed Sam's arm and led him back to the lounge chair. He sat down heavily on the edge of the seat with his head in his hands. I sat behind him and started massaging his tense shoulders. He moaned in pleasure after a few minutes before leaning back so he was half against my chest and half against the lounge.
"Did I frighten you?" Sam asked softly as he looked up at me. My gaze locked with his and I was amazed at the fear in them.
"No baby. You didn't frighten me," I whispered.
"I felt you shaking," Sam said.
"It was because of him and his leering. I could never be afraid of you," I said honestly as I bent my head and kissed his lips softly.
"You know that I will always keep you safe right?" Sam said to me as we pulled away. I ran my hand through his short hair and gently rubbed my nails back and forth.
"I know that," I said. I didn't add on that I knew he would try because right now he just needed my support.
I kissed Sam's head and we settled back again to watch a movie, this time Sam's head was resting in my lap.
- Sam POV -
I can't believe after 19 years that man decides to show up here. I could have strangled him there and then but when he started ogling MY Mione, I was prepared to rip him limb from limb. As we watched a movie in the living room, I let the steady beating of my imprint's heart lull me to sleep.
- Dream -
"I'm home!" I called as I walked into my house.
"Daddy!" A small voice cried. I picked up the running ball of energy and threw him into the air.
"Hey kiddo. Were you good for mummy today?" I asked.
"I sure was. Ashton and I helped make the cookies," my son cried proudly. He had black curly hair, my eyes, a tiny ski jump nose and some freckles.
"Jason Samuel Uley, I told you to go and wash up. Do you not want cookies?" A beautiful voice said from the doorway. I looked up and smiled at what I saw.
Hermione was standing in the doorway with one hand resting on her medium sized belly and the other on her hip.
"Go on kid. Go get washed up then we can eat cookies," I said as I put him down. He raced past me and upstairs to the bathroom.
"Hello beautiful," I said as I walked over to my wife.
I kissed her firmly and rested my hands on her belly.
"Hey. How was work?" Mione asked.
"The usual. Did some paperwork, chased some stupid kids who vandalised the store. That's really it. How was your day?" I asked.
"Great. Ash, Jase and I baked cookies, muffins, cupcakes and a whole lot of other stuff for the bonfire, Leah and Kim came over for coffee and Sue, the kids and I all went out for lunch," Mione said. I kissed her again before kneeling down so I was close to Mione's stomach.
"How were you my beautiful angel? Were you good for mummy?" I asked. I pressed a hand to Mione's belly and smiled at the feeling of my baby kicking.
"She'll be here in a couple of months," Mione commented softly. I stood back up and kissed her softly.
"Love you," I whispered.
"Love you more," she replied with a smile.
- End Dream -
I opened my eyes and found myself lying on the couch alone. I heard movement in the kitchen and walked in there. Hermione looked at home in my kitchen as she made sandwiches and muffins.
"This is a sight I could get very used to," I said. Mione turned slowly, not startled by my sudden presence. She smiled at me softly and turned back to her mixture.
"What'cha cooking?" I asked. I walked over and stood beside her at the bench.
"Sandwiches, savoury muffins and quiche for lunch. I figured that since the boys didn't crash breakfast they'd be crashing lunch," Mione said. I realised in that moment she would make the ideal alpha female with a heart that would accept each and every one of the boys, flaws and all.
"Thank you babe," I whispered before I kissed her. Sure enough, just as Mione had pulled the quiche and muffins out of the oven, the boys walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Mione," Brady and Colin said in unison.
"Hey boys," she replied as she hugged them both. She ushered them to the table before putting all the food down. I watched as she walked around the kitchen joking with the boys as they ate. She caught me watching and blew a kiss at me. I took my seat at the head of the table and smiled when Mione kissed my cheek as she walked past.
"Boys, just so you know, be on the lookout for my dead shit of a father," I said. Mione walked back over to me and placed her arms around my neck and her head rested on my shoulder beside my own.
"He was here? He hasn't been in La Push for 19 years," Paul said with a frown.
"Unfortunately. He's back in town and he seems to have taken an unhealthy interest in Mione. I want you to watch like hawks. This freak is not getting anywhere near my Mione," I said as I looked at the girl in question.
"I can take care of myself but I appreciate the concern," Mione said. She kissed my cheek and walked back over to the oven. She put in a pie and pulled out some more of the savoury muffins and put them on the table.
Mione sat on my lap and smiled at me softly. I kissed her forehead and held her tightly to my chest.
Leah and Blaise walked in a half hour later and Mione got off my lap to hug him.
"What time does your flight leave tomorrow?" Mione asked. We all noticed how her eyebrows rose as if telling him to play along.
"6:15pm," Blaise replied.
"Why don't you and Leah go out to dinner tonight and you and I can go out tomorrow. I can drive you up to the airport," Mione said.
"You sure? I don't wanna be blowing you off," Blaise said.
"Of course. You can bring back some lollies from home as payment," Mione said. Blaise kissed her forehead and smiled.
Mione walked back over to me and sat back down on my lap. I kissed her neck lightly and smiled into her neck when her fingers joined with mine.
The boys left at various times, some going to patrol, others to work and Embry and Quil were heading down to the beach with Jake.
"So, I was thinking," I said as I played with Mione's hair. We were lying down on the couch watching a movie.
"Thought I smelt something burning," Mione said with a smirk.
"Ha-ha. Anyway, I was thinking about applying for the police force. I mean, I already "protect" La Push, why not do it with a badge and a uniform?" I said.
"That's great Sam. You should do what you want. I think you would make an amazing cop," Mione said as she bought her lips up to mine.
I smiled at her and rubbed my nose against hers. She giggled and rested her head against my chest. I kissed the top of her head and rested my chin on it. I felt her breathing even out and soon we were both asleep.
- Hermione POV -
"Tell Ron to stop sending me letters," I said as Blaise and I pulled over to the side of the road sometime that night. Blaise would be apparating home instead of flying so he could be back quicker.
"I will. I don't think Sam would appreciate it if he knew what the letters were saying," B said with a grin. I punched his shoulder before wrapping him in a hug.
"Love you B. Come back soon," I whispered.
"Will do Mione. Take care of Leah for me," He replied.
"Always," I said. He kissed my head, shrunk his stuff and smiled before apparating home.
I was about to walk to my car when I heard a tree branch snap. I turned sharply but didn't see anything.
I half ran back to my car but before I could get in, I was thrown by the scruff of the neck into a tree.
"Hello mudblood. Miss me?" A sinister voice from above me said. I looked up and gasped.
"No, you're dead," I whispered.
Anton Dolohov stood above me and laughed manically.
"To our world, I am. However, I am not dead, simply better," He hissed. It was then I noticed his eyes. They were bright red, his skin was extremely pale and his teeth glistened.
"You're a vampire," I stated.
"Yes. The one who bit you happens to be my sire. He is very annoyed that you weren't allowed to change. He would have loved having you as a pet," Dolohov said. I tried to stand but he kicked me in the ribs.
He wailed into me with fists and kicks mostly. He threw me around like a rag doll and I smashed into trees and rocks alike. Eventually, he pulled out his wand and aimed.
"Crucio!" He hissed. I began to writhe but I refused to scream. He kept putting more power into the spell but I would not give him the satisfaction of hearing me scream and beg.
"You know, as tempting as your blood is, I'm not the one who is going to have the pleasure of killing you. Until next time my dear," He whispered into my ear before wiping his finger over the bleeding cut on my forehead.
"You taste pretty good for a mudblood," Dolohov whispered before apparating away.
I crawled slowly out of the forest and to my car. I noticed another car coming down the road but I couldn't do much to signal them. I hit my horn but slid to the ground before I could see if someone stopped.
- Charlie POV -
Bella and I were over at the Black's when I got a phone call from work.
"Chief Swan," the voice said. It was James Davis, by second.
"What is it Jim?" I asked.
"You need to get here ASAP. We've got a girl who has been mugged and left on the side of the road," Davis said. I stood up and wrote down the place.
"I gotta go Bells. I'll be back soon," I said. I kissed my daughter on the head and looked at Sam worriedly when he clutched at his head.
I drove to the sight and froze when I saw the parked car - a black Chevy Impala. I jumped out of my car and raced over to Davis.
"Hey Boss," he said.
"What happened?" I asked. I felt a lump make its way to my throat as I took in the scene.
"From what we can tell, the driver pulled over on the side of the road and someone has mugged her," Davis said vaguely.
"Where is the victim?" I asked.
"You aren't gunna get anything out of her chief, she is unconscious," I glared and Davis pointed out the gurney the paramedics were pushing.
I raced over and looked down. I let out a strangled sob as I looked at the bruised and beaten face of my niece.
"Not a pretty sight. She will be going straight to surgery," Carl said.
"I'm riding with her," I said. I held her limp hand in mine and kissed it.
"You know her chief?" Larry asked.
"She's my niece," I replied. Larry and Carl looked at each other and pushed a little faster. We were sitting in the ambulance and they hooked Mione up to an oxygen machine to help her breath.
Whilst they did this, I dialled Billy's number.
"Black residence. Sue speaking," Sue said.
"Sue," I said. I chocked back a sob as I looked down at Hermione.
"Charlie? Are you ok? What's happened?" Sue asked. It was quiet so I assumed she had walked outside with the phone.
"You all need to get up here to Forks Hospital now," I said. The ambulance started moving and we were moving quickly.
"Charlie, what has happened?" Sue asked again.
"It's Mione. She is unconscious. It appears she was mugged on her way home tonight," I said before I let out a painful sob.
"We'll be there soon," Sue said.
I hung up the phone and turned back to Mione.
"Come on sweetheart. Wake up," I whispered. She didn't move as I pressed my lips to her hand. I felt the ambulance slowing and the doors opened once it was stopped.
"Get her prepped for surgery. She is going straight in," The doctor said before he started listing off her injuries. I tried to follow past the waiting room.
"I'm sorry Charlie. You'll need to sit out here," Denise, the head nurse, said. I sat down heavily with my head in my hands and felt tears silently slip down my cheeks. I looked over at the OR doors and began to pray.
