Chapter Four
Vision
Hermione curled up in the toilet stall, tears running down her cheeks and a haunted look in her eyes. She sniffed and thought back to her first year. She had done the same thing when Ron had been teasing, and he and Harry had saved her. She let out a sad laugh, before burying her head in her arms and crying.
Alice and Bella ran to the toilets and saw that one of the doors was locked and someone was sat on the floor. The sound of sobbing filled the air and Bella got a pained look on her face. The sob turned into a sad laugh before turning into full blown cries. It was heartbreaking. Bella hated seeing Hermione like that.
Bella walked over to the stall and sat down outside it. "Mione, it's Bella. You okay?" She asked softly. "Yes. I'm fine." Hermione's quiet voice came. Alice sat down beside Bella. "I don't think you are. What happened?" She asked kindly.
Hermione took a deep breath and let it out shakily. "I saw my parents. My dad called for me, then dropped down dead." She told them. Outside the stall, she could hear Bella and Alice gasp softly. Bella's hand snaked under the door and grasped her own. "Mione, I'm sorry. We're here though. I promise we always will be." Bella told her.
Alice smiled as she watched Bella comfort her cousin. But she suddenly felt the nagging feeling of a vision coming on. She gasped and grabbed Bella's hand. Bella looked at her in confusion, before her eyes widened in shock and realisation.
Victoria sat in the forest, planning how to get Edward back. "I'll get him, through the girl. James died because of that girl, so she can pay." She snarled. A twig snapped and Victoria growled. Quicker than a human could blink, Victoria had the intruder at the neck against a tree, her blood red eyes glittering menacingly.
A human woman with wild black hair and equally black, sunken eyes looked up at her, a smirk on her full lips. "You're a vampire." She breathed. Victoria snarled. "And you're a human, nothing but food." The woman smiled. "Ah, but I can help you. I hear you want revenge." She stated. Victoria laughed. "How can you help me?" She asked coldly. "With an army. You create your own army and together, with both our armies, we can both get what we want. And you can even have a few weaklings of our people." The woman replied. Victoria smirked. She liked this human.
"So an army of humans and vampires. I don't see how this will work well." Victoria pointed out. The woman smirked. "But I'm not just a human. I'm a witch, and the army are Wizards and Witches. We're very powerful." She sneered. Victoria scoffed and the woman removed a stick from her dress. She waved it and muttered something and a branch went up in smoke. Victoria's eyes glittered in delight. "Brilliant. I accept. What is your name and what do you wish for?" She asked. The woman grinned manically. "I am Bellatrix Lestrange and I want to finish something I started." She drawled, her own eyes glittering in malice.
Alice gasped again as she came out of her vision and her worried eyes met Bella's own. "What is it?" Bella asked, urgently. "What did you see?"
The door behind them opened and Hermione walked out. "What did she see? What happened?" She asked. Bella bit her lip and decided to tell her a small fact, nothing about Vampires. "Alice can see the future." She told her cousin.
Hermione scoffed. 'Great, another Trelawney.' She thought. Alice sighed. "It's true. I just had a vision." She claimed. She turned to Bella with a panicked look in her eyes.
"Victoria has joined up with a Witch who has an army." Alice told her. Bella frowned. "Witches and Wizards exist?" She asked. Alice shrugged. "Apparently." She replied. "Who was this woman?" Bella asked. "She said her name was Bellatrix Lestrange." Alice told her. Behind them, Hermione went white.
"She said her name was Bellatrix Lestrange." Alice said. Hermione felt the blood drain from her face and she almost collapsed. 'Bellatrix, here? The army must be the Deatheaters.' She thought, her eyes wide with horror. She was suddenly aware that Bella and Alice had begun talking again.
"What does she want with Victoria?" Bella asked. Alice frowned. "She said she wants to help. She'll help Victoria kill you and then Victoria will help her finish something she started. But I don't think we need to worry just yet." Alice replied.
Hermione listened, mainly to the bit about Bellatrix Lestrange. She caught the end bit. "But I don't think we need to worry just yet." Alice finished. Hermione sighed and ran a hand through her hair. 'If they show any sign of coming to Forks, I'll contact Harry and the Order. I'll need their help if Bellatrix and the Deatheaters are after me. But we'll have to wait and see.'
