Chap 13

- Last Time -

An hour later just as Sam and I had started digging into the pizza we had ordered, the doorbell rang. I jumped up and walked to the front door. As I opened it, I gasped.

"As if my day couldn't get any worse!"

- Now -

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked as I looked at the person on the other side of the door.

"I wanted to see you Herms. We were at your uncle's place and I found your address," Ron said. "Please Herms, I want you back."

"Piss off Ron. I don't want you around. You cheated on me and got another girl pregnant. I'm not coming back to you," I said sharply.

"Please, who is gunna like you other than me? Just come back to me and after Lav has the baby we can get together," Ron said.

"Do we have a problem here?" A deep, husky voice asked as his arms slipped around my waist. Sam nuzzled my neck with his nose in comfort before looking at Ron.

"Who the hell are you?" Ron demanded.

"Someone other than you who loves this girl," Sam said before kissing my neck and glaring at Ron.

"Mione what the hell is going on? Who is this guy?" Ron demanded.

"You idiot! You don't control me! Not that it's any of you business but this is Sam. Sam is my boyfriend. He treats me so much better than you ever did. Now, please leave," I said firmly. Sam must have been able to tell I was getting shitty because he started gently rubbing my stomach. I started to shut the door when Ron stuck his foot out to stop it.

"Just putting it out there mate, bitch here doesn't put out. You'll get sick of her in no time so I'd start looking for a fuck buddy," Ron said crudely as he glared at me. I felt Sam slip his arms from around me and I was a bit worried he was taking what Ron said into consideration until his arms shot out, grabbed Ron and slammed him against the outside of the house.

"You listen to me you little shit. I, unlike you, respect Mya. I will never get sick of her and I don't care if she doesn't 'put out' as you put it. I care for her and love her deeply and I will protect her from deadshits like you until my dying breath. I believe she asked you to leave so leave," Sam said in a manner that had me shivering. He pushed Ron to the ground before resting a hand on my back and walking inside.

- Sam POV -

I walked inside before pulling Mya into my arms. I pushed my nose into her hair and took in her scent to calm me down. Mya must have noticed what I was doing because she just rubbed her hands up and down my back and kissed my chest.

"I'm sorry I scared you baby," I whispered. I had felt her fear through the bond and I regretted scaring her.

"It's ok Sammy. I promise," Mya whispered but I knew there was something wrong.

"Mya, what's the matter baby?" I asked as we walked over to the lounge.

"Sammy, there is a reason Ron and I never had sex. I've never told anyone this before," Mya whispered.

"Tell me baby," I said.

Mya burst into tears and I gathered her into my chest.

"Sam, I was taken hostage two years ago. During that time, a lot happened to me. I was beaten and, and," Mya said before more tears fell.

"I was raped Sam. I was raped then saved a day later. I couldn't find it in me to let a man touch me like that which is why Ron and I never had sex. It was my fault he cheated on me and no one else's," Mya said before sobbing violently.

She jumped out of my lap and raced the stairs to our bedroom. I heard the door lock but I couldn't find it in me to stand up. I was seething someone had defiled my girl and taken her innocence from her.

I let out a loud growl before I felt myself shaking. I couldn't make it outside and I phased in the living room. I walked out the back door and heard Mya sobbing from our bedroom. I howled mournfully and raced into the woods. I ran for a while before heading up to Forks. I really needed to hit something and Ron's face seemed the best thing.

I phased at the edge of the forest and got dressed before walking up to Charlie's front door.

"Sam, oh thank god! We were so worried," Sue said before she hugged me. I looked confused as she walked me inside.

Leah jumped out of her seat and hugged me tightly and I looked over at Blaise confused. I caught Ron's gaze and felt a feral growl building in my chest.

"What's wrong with you Lee?" I asked as I looked at the girl still hugging my chest.

"Sam, we have been calling your house for the past six hours and no one answered," Sue explained.

"Shit! I was running for six hours," I said. "Wait, Mya's home. She would have answered unless she fell asleep."

I focused on Mya but the bond felt faint. Then I felt my heart get heavy and my chest began to hurt.

"Charlie... Get me home... Mya," I wheezed out. We all raced out to the cars and Charlie turned the police siren on and we sped towards La Push. I busted through the door and started smelling around. Mya's scent was there but faint. I listened but I couldn't hear her breathing or her heartbeat.

I raced up the stairs and knocked on the bedroom door.

"Mya baby? Come on baby. Open the door," I cried desperately. I threw my shoulder into the door and it fell down. The room was empty.

I looked around desperately but all I saw was a note on the bed.

Dear Sam

If you've found this, it means I left before you got back.

Ever since you marked me (I'm so grateful believe me), I have been able to feel your emotions which is why I was able to feel the disgust and anger you felt after I told you about what happened to me. I don't know whether it was directed at me or not and I didn't want to risk it.

I just needed to get away for a while. There are some people in London I need to see and things to do. If I'm not home by Monday, good luck with your fitness test for the police force. I know you will do great.

I love you even if you hate me at the moment and I'm sorry.

Love, your Mya xxx

P.S. - to ensure total privacy, I have left my phone behind. Love you my hero

I slid down beside the bed clutching the note and started openly sobbing. I heard the footsteps of everyone running up the stairs and I heard the girls gasp.

"Sam man, what's happened?" Jared asked as he walked towards me. Of all the boys, Jared and I were the closest considering he had phased first. I looked at him and I felt his arm go around my shoulder in a brotherly hug.

I felt someone take the letter from my hands but I didn't care.

"Sam, what did she mean? What happened to her?" Kim asked as she sat on the other side of me.

"It's her secret and until she gets back and decides to tell you, it will stay that way," I whispered.

"Sam, do you want me to take Brady and Colin tonight?" Sue asked. I shook my head.

"They can stay here," I whispered. Sue nodded and one by one, everyone left the room.

"Call me if you need us man," Jared said. I nodded as he and Kim walked out.

"Sam, do you want us to get you anything?" Brady asked.

"No thanks boys. Have you eaten?" I asked as I composed myself. Mya would string me up if I didn't feed the boys.

"Yea. Sue fed us. Are you sure you don't want anything?" Colin asked.

"I'm sure. I'm just gunna head off to bed. Night," I said. The boys said goodnight and headed to their own rooms before I slipped into bed. I grabbed Mya's pillow and inhaled her scent as I drifted into a restless sleep.

- Mione POV -

I listened as Sam let out a feral growl. I heard something smash then a howl before I heard no more. I lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

When I woke up I looked up at the clock and noticed it was 11:30 at night. I couldn't hear Sam and all the lights were off so I assumed he was still gone.

I quickly packed a bag and left Sam a note before apparating away. I apparated to London before catching a taxi into Surrey. I paid the driver when he stopped at my destination and jumped out. I tightened the jacket I was wearing as the cool morning breeze brushed past me.

"Hey mum, hey dad," I whispered as I knelt down at their graves.

"Sorry I haven't visited in a while. I've been staying with Uncle Charlie in Forks. It's so gorgeous there. I've even met a guy. You'd love him. He is brave, loving and loyal. Oh god mum, I've messed it up," I said before crying. I proceeded to tell the whole story to my parents and afterwards I felt slightly better. I looked at the time and realised it was 8:30 in the morning.

"I'd better go. I promise to bring Sam soon so you guys can meet him," I whispered before kissing the headstones and walking out of the graveyard and apparated straight to the ministry.

"Hello Kingsley," I said as I barged into his office.

"Mione, oh Merlin, you aren't fleeing from the law are you? Damn girl, I told you to stop pissing of government officials," Kings said as he walked around to hug me.

"I'm not fleeing anyone. I just came for a visit. What are you working on?" I asked.

"The Bulgarian ministry is taking one of your anti-discrimination acts quite seriously. They want to meet to discuss it," Kings said with large grin.

"Wow! That is so good," I said.

"Catch, they want to discuss it at a formal dinner on Tuesday night. How long will you be here for?" Kings asked.

"I can come. I am so excited," I said.

Kings and I talked for a while longer until I decided I should pop in and visit Molly. I apparated just inside the front foyer and smiled when I heard pots and pans being moved around.

"Arthur dear, if that's you, I could use some help," Molly called.

I walked into the kitchen and said "I'm not Arthur but I'll help."

Molly turned, squealed and raced towards me. She pulled me into a tight hug and I laughed.

"Missed me I see," I said.

"How have you been dear? Look at you, you look positively radiant," Molly said.

We sat down and talked for a few hours just catching up. I told her what Ron had said and she was furious.

"I raised him so much better than that," Molly hissed before we heard some crashing.

"Sorry Molly," Tonks called. We heard running footsteps and Teddy appeared in the doorway.

"Grandma Molly!" He cried before racing towards her. She hugged him tightly and I smiled.

"Look who's here baby," Molly said before Teddy spun around and squealed before vaulting into my lap.

"Mione!" He cried as he hugged me.

"Hey baby boy," I said as I hugged my godson.

"Teddy, where did you - Mione hey," Tonks said before she walked over to me.

"Hey mum," I said with a grin.

We sat down again and talked for a while longer. At around four I decided to pop up to Italy and visit mama and Nonna.

"Can I stay here for a few days?" I asked Molly. "I will probably head home on Wednesday. I have a ministry function on Tuesday night."

"Of course sweetheart. You are always welcome," Molly said before I kissed her, Tonks and Teddy and apparated away.

I knocked on the door of Zabini Manor in Italy and waited.

"Miss Mione," Tickles, the house elf that worked here said before she hugged me.

"Hey Tickles. Are mama and Nonna around?" I asked as I walked into the room.

"They are in the drawing room with Miss. Cissa," Tickles said.

"Great. Thanks Tickles," I said before walking deeper into the house. I headed towards the drawing room. I knocked on the door and entered when allowed.

"Hey," I said. Mama, Nonna and Cissa looked up before they all raced over and hugged me.

"Hello my darling. How are you?" Nonna asked as we all sat down.

"I'm doing great. I love seeing your boys all the time," I said as Cissa poured me some tea.

"How are they? Blaise seemed quite different on his last visit," Mama said.

"That's because he has a new girlfriend. Her name is Leah," I explained. Mama and Nonna squealed and laughed.

"Do you approve of her cara?" Nonna asked.

"I do, greatly. You should definitely come and visit soon," I said.

"And what about you sweetheart? Have you found anyone?" Cissa asked.

"I have. His name is Sam and he is wonderful. You will love him," I said.

"He is nothing like Ron I hope," Nonna said.

"No Nonna. He is way better than Ron," I said.

We talked for a while longer before heading back to the Burrow where I found Molly and the rest of the Weasley's sitting at the table looking smug.

"What have you done?" I asked. Ginny jumped out of her seat and hugged me tightly followed by Luna.

"Nothing little sister," Bill said before he hugged me. The rest of the Weasley's hugged me and we all sat down for dinner.

- Sam POV -

We were all sitting at Sue's place where she was cooking everyone a huge breakfast when an owl started pecking on the window.

"Maybe that's from Mione," Blaise said as he opened the window much to our surprise. He took the red letter it was carrying before it flew away.

"Someone's in trouble," Fred said before turning to Ron. He went pale as he took the letter off Blaise and opened it. It jumped into the air, formed a mouth and took a breath.

"RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU? I RAISED YOU SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT! HOW DARE YOU SPEAK ABOUT HERMIONE IN SUCH A VULGAR WAY? I AM APPALLED AT YOU!" A woman's voice screeched. I watched as Blaise, Draco and Fred hid their laughing (badly) behind their hands.

"Ron, I speak for all of us when I say, you are so going to get it when you get home which will be soon considering Kings is pissed that you didn't tell him where you were going. When we tell him you were harassing Mione, you know he will be even angrier. We are even contemplating telling Blaise's grandmother. You know how much she despises you. Anyway little bro, can't wait to see you," a male voice said. His voice was only slightly raised but still quite menacing. Blaise, Draco and Fred were laughing so hard they had fallen off their chairs.

"IF YOU THOUGHT THE BLACK EYE I GAVE YOU WAS BAD, WELL SON OF MINE, YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING YET! Oh and Sam, Mione said she will probably be home on Wednesday," the woman's voice said as it looked at me before back at Ron and bursting into flames.

"Man, I would hate to be you," Fred wheezed out.

"Haha funny. I'm gunna go home and see Lav before mum murders me," Ron said before he apparated away.

"What the hell was that?" Billy voiced what we were all thinking.

"That my friends, was a howler. They are angry letters as you can tell. That is the second time Ron has gotten one from mum and trust me, mum is scary enough without the howler," Fred explained.

"Blaise, I have a question. Why did you call Mya mama before?" I asked.

"Oh, we didn't want Ron to know it was Mione on the phone. We didn't know he had already found her address," Blaise explained.

"Ok then. She was heaps confused about that when you called," I said.

I focused on what the voice had said and I smiled. Mione would be home on Wednesday.

- Mione POV -

Tuesday night rolled around and I was waiting for Kings to come and get me from the Weasley's.

"You look gorgeous," Molly said as she helped me pin back the last bit of my hair. I was wearing a knee length, strapless red gown. There was a layer of black mesh that flowed from the black sash around the waist and it had a floral print on it. I had a pair of five inch, black peep toe stilettos and my hair was up in a bun with some whispy bits.

"Come on sweetie. Let's get your law passed," Kings said when he arrived. We linked arms and Kings apparated us to the Bulgarian ministry.

I had been discussing my law with various ministers when I felt the Order bracelet I wore start to heat up.

"Excuse me please," I said to the men I was speaking to. I walked over to Kingsley and waited.

"Kings, we have a problem," I whispered. "Carlisle? What are you doing here?"

I hugged the vampire tightly and smiled when he hugged back. I had met Carlisle and his family during the war when I had been working on Vampire Rights Laws and when he had saved me from changing into a vampire.

"I was invited by Kingsley to help explain how good your laws were. My family is here somewhere," Carlisle said. As soon as he had finished speaking, 7 more vampires appeared beside him.

Alice, Rose, Esme and Sophie (Edward's mate) hugged me tightly followed by the boys.

"Hermione, what was the problem?" Kings asked.

"My bracelet is heating up," I said. Kings pulled his ring off and looked at the words that should be there if someone was in trouble.

"La Push, Washington," Kings said.

"We've gotta get their now. My boys must be in danger," I said. "Can you guys come help? More people the better."

"Of course sweetheart. Let's go," Carlisle said.

Kings went and excused us from the dinner with the promise we would meet again soon. He walked back over and we both grabbed onto four of the Cullen's each and apparated to the woods.

- Sam POV -

We were at the beach after the boys returned home from school and were just relaxing. I had passed my physical with flying colours and all I had to do was get fitted for my uniform and I would be a full cop.

"What was that?" Quil asked. We all focused in on the forest and we heard some footsteps. We all stood up and pushed the others behind us.

"Before you phase, wait," Fred said. He pulled out his wand and said a spell. "That will stop anyone who wanted to come to the beach."

We thanked him before turning back to the woods. We all caught the strong stench of bleach and phased. I watched as Blaise touched his ring and chanted something under his breath.

"Well look what we got here. A bunch of puppies, some muggles and a few blood traitors," a voice said before a vampire landed in front of us followed by six other vampires and five cloaked men holding wands.

"Well, you aren't exactly who we were looking for but I guess you will do," one of the cloaked men said. We all crouched down as they took up fighting position.

"Wait!" The lead vamp called out. He turned and sniffed the air quickly.

"What is it Andre?" One of the other vampires said.

"Nothing. Nothing at all," he said

"Well, it can't really be nothing," a voice said. "That would imply that we aren't here."

Suddenly 7 people appeared in front of us. We then realised they were the Cullens.

They shouldn't be here Jake said through the link.

"We know we are on your land but we were asked to help by someone you know well," Edward explained.

Forgot he could read minds, Jake said.

I wonder who asked them. Quil asked.

"You do know, vampire or not, you are outnumbered," one of the vamps said.

"Well, you have seven vampires and five wizards. We have seven vampires and five wizards and a pack of werewolves so I think we are set," a gorgeous voice said and I whimpered.

Mya, I whispered.

We all watched as Mya appeared in front of us along with Kingsley and she looked amazing. Her knee length red and black dress swished around her knees and her simple black heels, although sinking into the sand made her legs look amazing. Her hair was up and I loved seeing her long neck.

"Well, well, well. Little Miss. Granger. It's a pity you were not allowed to change. You would have made a stunning vampire," Andre, the lead vamp said and I let out a feral growl and stepped forward so I was beside Mya.

I smiled in my head as she rested her hand on my head.

We got your back Sam, Jared said. I turned slightly as all the boys and Leah stepped forward. Leah moved to the other side of Mya and butted her hand. They had become exceptionally close and I was happy.

"I think you are the outnumbered ones," the big, burly Cullen, Emmett, said with a smirk.

"We'll take our chances," the vamp said before he launched at Mya. I pounced at the same time and caught him mid air. He and I circled one another and I took a second to check on Mya. She was fighting one of the cloaked men with Leah shadowing her so whenever someone would try and interfere, she would stop them.

I stopped focusing on my imprint as the vamp lunged. We started fighting, a mix of teeth and claws. I just kept thinking about how he put Mya through hell by trying to turn her.

We fought for a while until he got me. I felt him bite into my shoulder and I howled in pain as I threw him off. I stumbled before collapsing to the ground in pain. I watched as the vamp made to come at me again before a brown wolf pounced over me and knocked him away.

I found myself looking into the beautiful yet scared eyes of my imprint.

"Sam? Can you hear me?" She asked. I whimpered softly but froze. The vamp was sneaking up behind Mya ready to pounce. I gathered all my strength and stood just as he pounced. I slid in front of Mya and struck him hard with my paw. I collapsed again and felt Mya lift my head.

"Burn him Em," Mya demanded before she looked down at me.

"Come on Sammy. Stay with me baby," she whispered. I felt a tear drop onto my muzzle and I whimpered. I lifted my head with a groan and licked her cheek gently.

"Stay with me. I can't lose you. I need you love," she whispered as she rubbed my head gently.

I'm not going anywhere. That bloodsucker won't take me away from you, I said in my mind but I wished she could hear me.

"He says he isn't going anywhere. He says that the bloodsucker won't take him away from you," Edward said.

Thank you, I said. He nodded at me and got to work helping the others burn the vamps.

"Thanks Ed. Keep up that attitude babe. I've missed you the last couple of days. I'm sorry I left. Next time I go to England you can come with me. I promise. Please stay with me. I love you baby," Mya said to me before kissing my muzzle.

"Mione, we've gotta get him home. The venom is going to try and spread soon. It will be painful so he needs to be comfortable," I heard Jared say.

I felt myself being lifted and I whimpered as Mya's touch disappeared. I felt the boys carefully place me on my uninjured side in the bed of my truck. I felt someone get into the bed of the truck and smiled as Mya's scent engulfed me.

"We'll be home soon baby then I can fix you up," she whispered. I felt my head get lifted and it rested in her lap before I closed my eyes and let the threatening blackness overtake me.

Thanks guys for reviewing. I am now officially done with school so I can update a lot more. Also I was asked by Desi-Pari Always how I type chapters on my phone (this one was typed fully on the phone as well). Well, I have a Blackberry and it has a Word Document program that I use before I email the chapters to my computer for final editing and posting. The reason I type on my phone is because my phone is always on me if inspiration hits. It is also much easier to transport my phone if I'm on a bus, train or someone else is driving me around. Also, thanks for pointing out my error with ages. I'll fix that ASAP.

I want to thank those of you who have reviewed every chapter. Thank you for your constant support.
