*Violet's POV*
A rag was placed over my eyes almost immediately, only giving me a glimpse of Draco's amused expression. I stood straight up, shivering in fear of what he'd do to me. He held both of my hands behind my back with one hand, and with the other, he slowly ran his index finger down my back. "Why are you out so late?" He murmured in my ear, his close presence causing me to get goosebumps.
"I was just-heading back to my Common Room, and I heard you."
"What did you hear?" He hissed, twirling a strand of my hair in between his fingers.
"I heard you talk about Danni…and me." I muttered, deciding on being honest, despite the circumstances.
"Hmm, very tragic. I was afraid of some drastic measures." Draco continued, now playing with the bottom of my shirt.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I certainly can't have you spoiling anything, and I can't have Danni lose her trust in me. That would be dreadful for both of us. I don't think I can allow you to leave quite yet."
"Who else is here?"
"What?"
"I heard another voice. Someone was here, where are they?"
"Long gone, Violet. You won't be seeing them for a while." There was a pause and then he picked up where he left off, "As I was saying, you'll be staying with me for a while. Until I have the…supplies I need." I started to tremble, terrified with the excited tone in his voice.
"Draco, I won't tell anyone. I probably misunderstood, that's all. I know you wouldn't do anything to hurt Danni,"
"You're right, I wouldn't. But I can sense that you don't believe that, which is why I can't have you in the way right now. Not until I have what I need. Understand?"
"Are you going to hurt me then?" I uttered, gulping back more fear. I could feel his sneer, and his fingers moved slowly up my back again, this time under my shirt. I attempted to yank away, not understanding why he was torturing me like this. If he didn't want to hurt Danni, why was he doing this to me? Somewhere in his sick, twisted mind, it made sense.
"No, Violet. I won't hurt you, but I won't leave you alone either." Draco chuckled, pulling his hand out.
"Why are you doing this to me?"
"Touching you? You'll have to find out for yourself." With that, he shoved me forward, still holding onto my hands. I heard him mumble something, and I heard a door swing open. Stumbling down a flight of stairs, we both halted, and I heard a metallic gate open. "Serpensortia!" I heard Draco growl, and I felt a tight bond on my hands. Draco ripped the rag away and I glanced at my hands to see a thick, green snake wrapped around my hands. "You'll be here for a few days, so I'd become acquaintances with it. I'll see you in the morning." Draco smiled, shoving me into the hidden cell. Falling on my chest, the breath completely leaked out of me. I heard the door slam and lock, and then his footsteps up the stairs. Another door slam, and it became completely dark. Scared out of my wits, I managed to sit up, and push myself against a wall to slump over on, and cry.
"Wakey, wakey, sunshine." I heard a voice call from outside the cell. My swollen eyes struggled to open, but they did, and I managed to make out the shape of Draco. The keys rattled against the bars, and then the door swung open. He walked in, and closed the cell door behind him. Now that there was light, I could see how dirty the cell was. Dust covered the stone floor, and cobwebs dangled from the ceiling. Draco's silver hair practically glowed under the torchlight he provided on the wall. "How did you sleep?" He said, almost sarcastically. I kept my mouth shut, too angered to say a word. "Aw, don't be like that." He whispered, sitting in front of me. He tapped the snake with his wand, and it was suck back inside. As quickly as I was unrestrained, I slapped Draco across the face, leaving a red handprint on his right cheek.
Rage flooding his eyes, he grabbed the hand I slapped him with and smashed it into the wall behind me. I let out a wail, and he grabbed the top of my head and shoved it against the wall, the pressure burning. "You test my patience. I don't understand why I'm even doing this."
"Good question, why are you doing this?" I gritted through my teeth, trying to fight back the intense pain in my head and my hand.
"That's none of your concern." He snarled, and released me. Finally composed, he took a deep breath and said, "Now that that's over, I believe it's time to leave you. I will be back tonight."
I nodded, and then called out, "Draco, if someone is making you do this, you know you don't have to." He paused for a second, his stare piercing into me. Then he stood up and locked the cell door after he exited, not looking at me once. Once I was alone, I began to wonder why I was really here. Draco had mentioned him questioning doing this, so this obviously wasn't his plan. But if it wasn't his…then who's was it?
Ooooo who is it? What is Draco up to? Who was he talking to? Will Danni find out? What about Harry and Cedric? All questions that will eventually be answered. Keyword: eventually, lol. Hope you guys liked it, I'll have another chapter out tomorrow. Review, share, follow the story, all is appreciated. Until next time, stay awesome, Gotham. -April
