Anna's P.O.V
I was running.
Looking behind me, I saw nothing but thick haze. My eyes were stinging with tears and my legs burned from the never ending movement.
My clothes were muddy and my face was covered in dirty streaks, I continued through the forest like my life depended on it.
I had no idea what I was running from but I knew it wasnt good.
Jumping over a thick tree trunk, I twisted my ankle when my feet hit the ground. The bone snapped and I screamed out in pain.
Crawling, I gripped the ground with my fingers trying with all my might to pull myself forward.
"Gotcha" A female voice snickered, pulling my feet back.
I screamed for help but no one could hear it.
Rolling me on my back, the witch smacked me. I spit in her face and punched her.
Straddling me down onto the ground, she pulled a knife out of her pocket and stroked it against my cheek.
"What a shame. Pretty little one like you. All you had to do was join the Dark Lord, stupid little girl." she scolded me.
Hearing leaves behind her, I saw two figures stroll up.
Draco and my dad.
The women then dug the tip of the knife and slid it down my cheek I didnt scream. I didnt cry. I didnt feel the pain.
Moving to my arm, she carved "Blood Traitor" on the sensitive inside skin.
"Dad" I whimmpered, looking him in the eye
Bending down he gave me a cold hard look and chuckled.
"You're no daughter of mine"
Sitting straight up in my bed, I tried to catch my breath.
Warm tears slid down my cheek and my heart was beating a mile a minute.
Thanking god it was only a dream, I looked around the room and was surprised to find myself in the hospital wing.
The sun was streaming through the windows, I wonder how long ive been out?
Turning to my right, I saw Jack leaning back in an old wooden chair with his eyes closed.
Leaning over, I shook his knee to wake him up.
Fluttering his eyes open, he rubbed them and smiled at me.
"Hey Beautiful" He whispered in a sleepy voice.
Stretching his arms to their full length, he got up and sat down on my bed.
Pulling me toward him, he embraced me in a loving hug.
Wrapping my arms around him, I missed the feeling of being wanted.
"What happened" I asked into his chest.
"You dont remember?" He looked at me concerned. "They caught you in the room of requirement. Draco stupified you and sent you at the wall. You had a gash in the back of your head that lost too much blood. You blacked out."
Nodding my head, everything was starting to come back to me slowly.
"Draco carried me here" I whispered.
"It's the least he could have done. " Jack scoffed and squeezed me tighter.
Pulling away, I looked into his disgusted eyes.
"Has anyone been to visit?" I was curious to see if Draco would have checked up on me, not like i cared though.
"Um yes. Ginny and Granger are here everyday after classes. The Weasley twins and Ron come in the morning. Harry after DADA and Malfoy stopped by a couple times but I told him he should stay away. Hope that's ok?"
"and you?" I asked, giving him a curious look.
"I have been here this whole week" He answered, smiling down at his hands.
"A Week?! I have been in here a week! And you stayed the whole time?" I exclaimed.
Looking up, he grabbed my face in his hands "I was so worried about you Anna. I wanted to be here when you woke up. I wanted to make sure you knew, you werent alone."
Pulling my face towards his, I watched him close his eyes.
Doing the same, I felt his soft lips brush mine. He pulled away and we both looked into each others eyes. Kissing his lips again, It was sweet and gental. Tender and heartfelt, a kiss they write books about.
"I wish I could have made it a little more romantic for you" He whispered, looking around the room.
I chuckled, "It's not the place, it's the person that matters"
He smiled big at me, Jack didn't make me feel as strong of emotions as Draco did but I concluded that im not fully over him yet. Maybe, Jack could help that along.
Helping stand me up, I was released to the common room to get ready for the mornings classes.
Taking a shower and changing, I picked out one of my favorite outfits.
Although it was simple, I always got complimented on my V-neck Tshirt and tight skinny jeans. The top I wore underneithe helped me in the *cough* Chest area alot and the tight denim hugged my butt just right. My waist looked tinier then ever and my tanned skin made me look like Barbie.
Skipping down the steps, my outfit gave me the confidence I needed to show everyone that I can get back up after being kicked down.
Looking over his shoulder, Jack watched me walk over to the portal.
"You know, you can keep a picture forever?" I chuckled.
Coming over and pulling my waist into him, he played with a stray curl. "Why can't I just keep you forever?"
"You wont be able to if I dont eat soon and die from starvation" I whispered, Smiling up at him.
Walking hand in hand, we entered the Great Hall doors and walked toward the Gryffindor table.
I was met with hugs and yelling (mostly from Hermione). Seeing black, someone clasped their hands over my eyes. I hate this game.
"Um Fred?................Or George. Either one" I asked, grabbing their arms.
They were a good couple inches taller then me and I feared it might have been Draco. I still fancied him and I know if he wanted to walk back in my life, I would let him.
Spinning around into their arms, I was happy to see it was Harry.
Holding him tight, I layed my head against his chest.
"I should have never left that room" He whispered.
Looking up at his face, his eyes were filled with guilt. "Harry, it's not your fault. If anything it's my own. I used the Stupify spell, Malfoy is a good enough wizard to block it. I should have thought..."
"Malfoy should have never blocked it! He knew you would get hurt. He's not stupid." Harry exclaimed.
"Apprently he's stupid enough to let her stand there and bleed to death" Ron remarked.
Harry was fumming mad.
"I'll kill him" He muttered, before walking away.
Chasing after him, he was heading toward the courtyard.
"Harry, stop! You don't have to do that." I said, following close behind him.
Spotting Malfoy with his group of "Friends" Harry stormed up to him.
"Malfoy! You prat, you're lucky I dont sink you in the bottom of the black lake" Harry screamed, holding his wand up to Malfoy's throat.
I grinned seeing Malfoy's face in shock.
"Harry come on. It's not worth it." I stated, pulling his arm down.
Turning around, Malfoy started to laugh.
"That's right Potter, listen to your girlfriend"
Pushing me aside a little, Harry spun around and punched Malfoy in the nose.
Hearing bone crunch, I gasped in shock.
Malfoy's face was priceless.
"You're going to regret this Potter." He exclaimed, holding his gushing nose.
Jack was behind me smiling like crazy.
"What are you staring at Rallong?" He sneered at Jack.
"A bloody mess" Jack snickered.
Seeing Jacks arms around me, Draco glared at us. "A mess, just like your girlfriend?"
Jack, lunged toward Malfoy but he ran away before Jack could grab ahold of him.
"Come on. Lets get you to class"
Grabbing my hand, I couldn't think of anywhere else I would want to be.
