The Insider: the second book to Captivated

Ink

I had to more notes than I could keep track of, and half of the information I already knew. I started writing phrases on my arm like:

Bloodroot-poison

Volubilis-alters voice

Murtlap Essence-heals cuts

My left forearm became filled with notes like this.

I was almost finished writing my excess notes when the ink pot was suddenly empty, thank goodness I put a charm on it to magically refil itsself. But before I knew it, there was a test infront of me with the bold letters O.W.L.S on it. I heard Mcgonnagall telling us all to begin. Shit. I began the trying to disguise the fact I was looking at my arm for answers. Eventually the answers ran out and I was only half way done. Shit. Again. But, I guess I did alright...

Vik's POV......................

I was walking down the corridors going to no particular destination. maybe I did it just to pass time. Suddenly, I felt a strong force on my lower back slamming me against the wall. I hit it hard quickly spinning around to see a boy I've might have seen around a few times but, ya know, I didn't give a shit to get to know him.

He strode towards me closing the distance between us trapping me between his body and the wall. He was so close I felt his hot breath fan over my skin his mouth close to my ear.
"Hey baby, where do you think you're going?" He growled in my ear. I shoved him. "Get the fuck away from me." I snapped, he smirked once again, closing the distance between us.

He laughed, "you're not getting away that easy." there was hunger in voice. I punched his stomach and he stumbled back but didn't hesitated to approach me again.

"Sorry, but I'm not interested in fucking idiots like yourself." I said snidely. He raised his hand and struck me across the face, I winced in pain only to take another blow with his fist punching my stomach. out of the corner of my eye I saw a figure rushing towards me but far down the corridor.

I was doubled over, he continued to strike me. My lip was now bleeding and there was excruciating pain shooting through my body. I was on the ground when the beating stopped. I heard someone beating the living shit out the boy who had beaten me.

Strong hands gently wrapped around my waist carefully lifting me up. I glanced at their source and it instantly registered...Draco.

His arms snaked around my waist supporting my limp, beaten body. hot tears sipped down my cheeks. he gingerly wiped them away with his fingers.

"Hey, don't cry I got you okay? It's okay. you're too pretty to cry." pain took over me as I collapsed into his larger figure. he immediately encased me holding me softly against him. I felt him place a gentle kiss on the crown of my head.

"Thank you." I managed to say my voice smaller, weaker them I hoped.
"I love you." was all I heard him say after that.
