Chapter Seven
Danger
Another month had passed since the truth was told and Edward and Hermione had finally started dating. They always were together and Edward often sat with her while she slept, comforting her during the nightmares. Everyone had gotten used to Hermione; she was one of the family. Even Rosalie had warmed up to her and had even told Hermione the truth. Hermione had comforted her and told her that she was too was raped, that was one of the reasons her past was painful.
Everyone knew that there was more to Hermione's story than she ever let on. She kept all her secrets to herself and never told anyone anything about her past. They just tried to keep her mind of the memories that made her sad all the time.
Right then, Bella, Jacob and the Cullens were relaxing at the Cullen house. Bella was sat on the sofa, Jacob between her legs, Rosalie was on the chair with Emmett perched on the arm rest, Jasper was sat in another chair with Alice on his lap and Hermione was sat between Edwards legs, her back against his chest, on the other sofa.
Alice's tinkling laugh echoed around the room as she retold a story about Edward. Edward's head was buried in Hermione's hair and he was sure he'd be blushing if he could. Suddenly, she went rigid and stared into space. "She's having a vision!" Jasper hissed, rubbing his petit wife's back.
A dark haired woman, all in black, stood next to a vibrant red head who was wearing red. An army of red eyed people stood before them, bashing against an invisible barrier trying to get to the dark woman. "You're army of newborns is fine, Victoria." The woman said, a vicious smile on her full lips. "Thank you, Bellatrix. Summon your people, my newborns wish to see their fellow fighters." Victoria replied. The dark woman raised her wand to a tattoo on her arm and said a spell. There was crack and the group were surrounded by people in black cloaks.
The newborns tried banging harder on the barrier, thirsting for blood. One of the cloaked figures stepped up to Bellatrix. "My love, it's amazing. The power these creatures possess." He whispered. Bellatrix grinned and held his hand. "Yes, Rodolphus. We attack soon. In two days, my deed will be done and task will have finished." She replied.
Victoria walked through her army and came to stop by a handsome male with thick black hair. She ran a hand down his cheek and the male's eyes snapped to hers. "Mistress?" He asked. "Be ready, my boy. Soon we will attack. You are my favourite, you shall lead your fellows into battle. We leave in two days, to avenge my love that was violently ripped from me." Victoria said, hissing the last part, her teeth barred in anger. The male nuzzled her hand.
"My Mistress, you suffer so." He muttered, a soft husky voice flowing like water. Victoria leaned down and brushed her lips across his own. The male groaned and Victoria let go. "If you survive, I may make you my mate when we win." She smiled, turning and stalking off to look at the Deatheaters.
Bellatrix walked through her ranks. "Bella, when do we finish the Mudblood? She killed Draco causing Narcissa to go mad with grief and kill herself, I want revenge." A tall man growled. Bellatrix stared into the stormy grey eyes behind the mask. "Cissa will be avenged. The Mudblood will pay for killing my beloved sister and nephew. You will get your chance to hurt her, Lucius. We move out in two days. Be patient." Bellatrix replied, a smug smile on her lips.
Alice shuddered and came back to reality. "Victoria and Bellatrix are coming. In two days they will be here and with an army of witches, wizards and newborn vampires." She announced. No-one noticed how pale Hermione went.
Hermione laughed with the rest of the family at the tale about her boyfriend. Said boyfriend hid his face in her hair in shame. All of a sudden, Alice went rigid and stared into space. "She's having a vision!" Jasper hissed. Hermione stared, intrigued.
She had only seen Trelawney's fake visions, so this was something really interesting. She watched in rapt fascination as Alice had her vision. Suddenly the vampire jerked and gasped. "Victoria and Bellatrix are coming. In two days they will be here and with an army of witches, wizards and newborn vampires." She announced.
Hermione felt the blood drain from her face. "They're coming for revenge. Victoria is coming for Bella. But the rest are coming for a girl called Mudblood. Or is it a girl they call a Mudblood?" Alice said again. The others shrugged.
"Do we know who she is?" Edward asked, stroking Hermione's soft curls. Alice shook her head sadly. "Yes, we do." Hermione said softly. Everyone looked at her. "They're coming to kill me."
