Aliah Snape (BOOK 4) - Fight or Flight

Chapter 65 - Surprise From the Past

Aliah woke up in the same position that she fell asleep in, on top of Draco. She carefully slid off his body and walked over to the window. The sun was warm through the glass. Aliah sat on the ledge and pulled her knees up to her chest. The street below was still quiet besides a few kids playing cricket on the road. 

The events from the previous night replayed in her mind and guilt swept over her body. Aurora was dead because of the curse, Draco's parents were probably wondering where he was and they have would have told her Father that she was missing so he would be worried out of his mind.

Aliah turned to the bed where Draco remained asleep on his back with his light snoring filled the room. His right arm covered his eyes and his left arm dangled on the side of the bed. The dark mark was clear and though she has seen it many times, Aliah couldn't stop staring at it. The man who put that mark there killed Draco's four week old sister out of spite.

"Will you stop staring at me? I know I'm sexy but come on," Draco spoke. Aliah rolled her eyes. Draco shifted on the bed and face her, propping on one elbow.

"You know you're so full of yourself?"

"You know I'm hot and we both know you were mentally undressing me, well picturing me without these," Draco pulled the waistband of his jocks and the elastic hit his skin with a slap sound.

"you wish,"

"Well I thought since I'm mentally undressing you, you would do the same,"

"You are dirty minded," Aliah threw the pillow at her feet at him. She rose from her seat and kissed him deeply on the mouth. "But I love you all the same,"

Aliah picked up his pants from the floor and pushed it in his chest. She gave one last kiss and walked over to the entrance on the floor. She pulled it opened and pushed the ladder down. She turned around and placed one foot down the hole, followed by the other until she landed safely on the ground.

She walked down the stairs, down the hall and through the lounge room to the kitchen. Aliah was shocked again that the kitchen remained exactly the same and fresh fruit was in the fruit bowl. Something shiny caught her attention. She turned her head slightly and there were a pair of car keys on the counter. Then hit Aliah, someone lived here. Aliah took a few steps back "Dra-" Aliah turned and there stood a boy with black hair holding a knife to her throat.

"Who are you?" the boy, who had to be at least fifteen, asked

"My name is Aliah, Aliah Holt" Aliah gulped. She saw something flicker in the boy's eyes but then he frowned at her.

"Aliah Holt died. Who are you?"

"Who are you is the better question," Draco stood shirtless behind the boy and pointed his wand at him. The boy didn't reply but puffed out his chest. The boy needed a shave and did not have a muscular build. He had a scar on his neck that Aliah recognised.

"Lukah?" Aliah gasped. The boy whipped his head around

"How do you know my name?"

"Because it's me, Aliah. I'm alive, I didn't die with your parents,"

"Prove it,"

"I taught you how to fight. Every Thursday we would go to the gym and I would teach you how to fight with a sword since you wanted to be like the warriors in the video games you play, then we would go down the street and I would buy you triple choc ice cream with sprinkles and I would have a chocolate milkshake with caramel sauce,"

The boy dropped the knife and hugged Aliah, "I thought you died! What happened to you? Where have you been the last few years?"

Aliah looked up at Draco whose face was blank. Aliah rubbed Lukah's back and pulled him off her. He was taller than her now but still shorter than Draco.
