There's No Light and Dark in War, Only Grey Chapter 4: I Can't Die Not Yet, a harry potter fanfic

Chapter Four

I Can't Die… Not Yet

Give me a reason to believe that you're gone
I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong
Moonlight on the soft brown earth
It leads me to where you lay
They took you away from me but now I'm taking you home

I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on

Evanescence – Even in Death

Previously:

Draven jumped to his feet and pointed his wand at the man. "Who are you?" He hissed, his eyes narrowing. The man smirked and in a blink of an eye he disappeared. Draven, startled, took a step backwards, lowering his wand. When he stepped back, he hit something, and it wasn't the fence.

Slowly he turned around and let out an ear splitting scream.

"Draven!" Screamed somebody, then all was silent.

"Draven! No! DRAVEN!" Cried Jessie, fighting as hard as she could against the zombies blocking her way. She was scared pretty bad and she had tears rolling down her cheeks.

Draven, however, didn't hear his friend calling to him. His hands grabbed the handle of a sword. A sword that was jabbed in his abdomen. Blood was staining his fingers and the red liquid seeped from his wound, her eyes were filled with pain but he didn't dare show any of it.

His eyes were looking into silver ones. Draven needed to know… who was this man? Even in his agony he opened his mouth and spoke what had been bugging him since he first set eyes on the strange man.

"W-who are y…you?" He spoke quietly. The man laughed. Draven frowned. The strange man grabbed Draven by the front of his robes and brought him close to him. He then leaned down and whispered something into his ear.

"I will be your demise… all the pain you suffer; everything will be by my hands… You are mine… Death wants you, Draven Riddle. Run like hell it's self is after you, Riddle, and just maybe, you'll survive. I am hell itself, little boy, and as for my name... Hades Azaril… Do try to remember it." Draven was beginning to feel weak, Hades laughed. Just then, all was silent. Draven crashed to his knees and then fell forward, his hand of the sword still piercing his stomach.

"DRAVEN! DRAVEN!" All seemed to be a blur. "Drave-"The screams were cut off; Draven looked up and saw Jessie struggling with the man… Hades.

He was laughing, amusement etched across his face. He flicked his hand and Jessie crashed to the ground. Draven's and Jessie's eyes met, her eyes were watering and she gave him a short smile before she was dragged to her feet by her hair. She gave a grimace of pain and looked into blue eyes.

Hades smirked and looked at Draven. He winked and laughed. He was INSANE! What the hell?! Thought Draven, he glared at the man.

"Say goodbye to your little girlfriend, Riddle!" Hades laughed harder now and he and Jessie disappeared.

Draven's vision faded and he slipped into unconsciousness.

"Let me go!"

"Shush!"

"Let-Me-GO!" Jessie slammed her foot into Hades shoe. He just looked at her and smiled. The red haired woman shivered. It was PRETTY scary.

"Nice try, Girl. But I am NOT as weak as to give into pain. It's a mortal weakness" Jessie's violet eyes narrowed and her lips formed a frown.

"You're a coward! Attacking Draven, kidnapping me. How LOW can you get?!" SLAP! Jessie was flung into the wall. Her cheek hurt. Had… he just SLAPPED her?

Someone grabbed the top of her head and she was forced to look into emotionless eyes. She wanted to shut her eyes, but couldn't. Hades just smiled at her. God, He WAS COMPLETELY crazy! Like… Wow…

"Don't…" He whispered and with that said, Hades started walking, he grabbed Jessie's arm and dragged her down the hall.

"M-mast-master…"

"What is it?" Red eyes met dark brown.

"It seems… that the mission you sent Draven on… It was a trap."

Silence.

"A trap?" The death eater nodded his head.

"Who caught him?"

"We're not sure…"

"Crucio!"

"Find out whom!" Hissed Voldemort, glared at his servant. The man got up shaking to his feet and bowed.

"Ye-yes master"

Draven sat up quickly, giving a gasp of pain. A hand clutched his stomach while he looked around. WHERE was HE?!

He could barely see, his vision was horrible. What had happened? Where was Jessie?

He was in a room with bash colored walls and beds with white sheets all around him. There was NOTHING or NOBODY in the room except for him and a couple or tables. There were no windows of ANY kind.

Draven hadn't noticed now, but he couldn't move his legs. He looked down. He LOOKED alright but SOMETHING was wrong. When he went to touch his legs, a shock ran through his body, making him jerk violently.

He stayed still for a few minutes, his eyes wide. What the-? He gulped air down greedily, his eyes were squinted shut. He noticed now that he was STILL wearing his mask. He smirked to himself, ignoring his pain. Glad he had put on the sticking charm before he left, or other wise… He shuddered. Who'd KNOW what would happen? It gave him goose bumps just thinking about it.

He was torn out of his thoughts as a door appeared; it was wood and was stained light green. He frowned. Then the door opened, revealing…

"Oh CRAP!"

Eden stormed into Voldemort's throne room, raging. WHERE the HECK was Jessie?! She thundered her way up to Voldemort; he hadn't even noticed her yet… Oh, god. She wished she could hurt him… The ignorant bas-

"EDEN! What do you want?" Exclaimed Voldemort. She rolled her eyes. "Where-is-Jessie?" She said through clenched teeth.

Voldemort frowned. "I don't know what you're talk-"

"Don't…" She held up a hand, she saw the face Voldemort and nearly laughed, she didn't want to endure his wrath, but she NEEDED to know.

"Where is Jessie?" Silence… An agonizing cry then all was still.

Draven met piercing blue eyes and hazel brown ones. Crap… was all Draven could think. This was WORSE then that man… Hades.

James Potter glared at him while Dumbledore looked at him over his half-moon glasses. Draven frowned and turned away. He was in NO mood to deal with them.

There was silence… Suddenly, it was cut off as the doors burst open and a woman came storming in.

She had short, curly blonde hair and dark blue eyes. She looked kind, but Draven didn't know… He felt like she was familiar.

The woman ran over to him and pushed him back into his pillows, he growled angrily but she ignored him and began running her wand up and down his body.

Draven sat in silence while she checked him over, silently fuming. What did they want? Why wouldn't they just leave him ALONE?!

When she was finished, Draven glared at her. "Are we finished?" She nodded. "You seem to be-"

"GOOD!" He rudely interrupted and started to get to his feet. "Now if you don't mind I'll just be go-"He paused in mid-sentence as he stood up. His mouth opened and he let out a piercing scream, his hand clutching his stomach, his clothes were soon drenched in blood.

The last thing he remember were soft, but firm arms catching him before he blacked out.

Draco sat reading contently in a green plush chair, his book propped in his lap, and his eyes hid by reading glasses that were on the end of his nose. He seemed to be engrossed in the book and didn't even notice the door to the study opening.

He jumped in shock and surprise when a cold hand grabbed his shoulder. Draco stiffened, every muscle was tensed. He didn't DARE move, incase…

"DRACO!" Oh god… He sounded like his… like his… oh, CRAP!

He turned around slowly and looked into the grey eyes of his father. He smiled nervously and shifted his eyes.

"Uh… uh… Y-yes father?"

"I've got something to tell you…" Draco's eyes widened. "What is it?!"

Eden lay on her bed, her eyes staring up at the ceiling. No… it CAN'T have happened. NO! She WOULDN'T believe it! NO WAY! NEVER!

Eden rolled over and now lay on her stomach and buried her face into her pillows. She felt the tears coming but she couldn't cry… no… no… but as she thought that, she burst out in tears.

She felt like a baby. Why was she crying? Was it for Jessie or for herself? She couldn't be left alone now. No, not again, no! She was left alone for years! She couldn't handle that anymore, she would crack.

She was just getting hold of herself when she heard her door opened. She stiffened and stayed as stiff as a board as she heard someone approach her. A hand was reaching for her.

"Eden?" Violet eyes widened and Eden jumped to her feet, jumping at the stranger. "Draco! Draco! Did you hear?" Big, fat tears fell from her eyes and she began bawling. "Jessie! Draven! I need them! I WANT THEM BACK HERE!" More crying, more tears. Draco was running a hand soothingly down her back. "It's alright… Its al-"

"No! No it's not! How can you say that!" She broke off from Draven. Grey eyes studied her sadly.

"Eden…"

"NO! I can't loose them Draco! I can't! She's my older sister and he's like my brother! I can't loose them! Not now! Not after… everything…" She broke out in tears again and Draco walked forwards and eloped her in a hug, planting a soft kiss on her head. "I promise you… everything will be okay."

But he couldn't make any such promise, he had no right. How could he promise if he wasn't sure of it himself? These are the thoughts that ran through Draco Malfoy's head as he held Eden to his chest. But no matter what, he would protect Eden. He knew Draven and Jessie would want that. She was like his family, he would protect her. Even if it meant that he got killed in the end. He would protect her and that was the vow he would keep.

Jessie got shivering to her feet. Her face was swelled like a purple grape. Her hair was uneven on one side and was covered in blood, it looked as it someone had tried to slice off her ear or something but it was done unsuccessfully. Her eyes were red and bloodshot. Her face was covered is soot and ash and when you looked at her robes they had burn marks, scorches, and holes all over. It was almost as if someone had lit her on fire. Her face and arms and legs had the same kind of burns as her robes. She was just down-right horrifying.

She limped towards the only light source in her prison. It was a small, barred window that was in the shape of the arch. Jessie had learned that her prison had MANY spells protecting it. Like, let's say… When she touched the bars on the window, she would jump away, cradling her hand to her chest. If was like something had burned her and if you attempted a second time (which Jessie, as bold or as foolish as she was DID try) you would be thrown across the room, having been knocked down by a bolt of lightning. It was amazing it didn't kill her but she was still pretty bruised from that encounter.

Jessie fell forwards as she tripped over her feet, she watched the world slip from under her and she fell face first onto the cold cement. She gave a pained scream, having smashed her shoulder into the wall and slamming her knee at the floor.

She lay on her front, curled into a ball, tears streaming down her face. She moved her head a small inch and looked at the light coming from the window and before she blacked out from the pain, she whispered one name. "Draven…"

A boy with curly dark red hair and dark green eyes, sat in a wooden chair; he was sitting straight and looked serious. The boy looked to be about 11. He looked quite wise and old, like he had seen a lot. But his eyes told differently. They shone with a childish gleam.

He was no child, yet he was. He seemed to act like an adult, but there was always that younger side but he tried not to show it. If fact, he despised it.

This child's name is and will always be Summers Jen Potter. His mother and father were Lily and James Potter. He has about 4 siblings. He was 11 and HATED the fact he was so young.

Let's say… He wasn't mature for his age. He thought he was an adult, funny eh? Not really… He never acted like a child, he acted boring, always studying, and he was beginning Hogwarts this year! He had been studying for 3 years before, he had been 8 then… Still innocent.

Summers smiled… He would show everyone he was grown up and that he was smart! Everyone thought he was just a player, they thought his ideas were idiotic, he couldn't stand it. He would show them! He would show them all.

A giggle, it was small and faint, but you could still hear it. This giggle came from the mouth of a girl, a girl who looked about 5 or younger. She had short, raven black hair and hazel eyes and freckles.

She was lying on a bed, which was too big for her, and was just lying there. Not moving or making a sound. She was smiling, and holding a photograph in her hands. She moved her hand and it moved into the light of the only window in the room.

The picture was the girl and what was presumingly here family. There was 6 of them, all were smiling and waving. It was her most prized possession. She kept on smiling, she remembered the day. Everyone was so happy then. The smile disappeared off of her face.

But not now… No one was happy anymore.

"MILEY! SUPPER!" Miley jumped off her bed and rolled her eyes, she was tall for a five year old but she didn't mind. She put the picture in her drawer, and left the room.

Draven felt weak and tired, his eyes were glued shut and his body refused to move. What happened? He couldn't remember… All he remembered were twinkling blue eyes. Blue eyes… DUMBLEDORE! He bolted up in his bed and gave a gasp of pain, but didn't stop. He got out of the bed and looked around.

He was alone, there was nobody in sight... nobody... Just as he went to sit down again, he heard hissing. What-?

"Young master..."

"NAGINI!" Draven turned around and came face to face with Nagini. He smiled broadly. "Nagini! It's good to see..." His smile disappeared and he looked around, checking again if anyone was around, then he turned back to Nagini."Uhmmm... What are you doing here?" He said nervously.

Nagini hissed angrily. "To rescue you, my dear child." (To tell ya, italics are parselmouth.) Draven bit his leg and cast another glance around the room. "But what if someone sees you?" The serpent didn't say anything. Nagini slithered further to Draven. When she was right in front of him, she bent down. As soon as her head touched his arm, he felt a jerk behind his navel and everything disappeared in a whirlwind of color.

Draven's feet slammed into the ground and he went crashing forward. He bit his lip as his wound started pulsing, sending pulses of pain through his body, but he ignored it. He got shakingly to his feet and looked around. But before he could move, he heard someone scream his name and he was knocked back to the ground. "DRAVEN!" He looked to see who had tackled him. He frowned. "Eden... give off of Draven. You're going to suffocate him." Draven looked up to see who had talked. Eden got off of him and took a few steps back, she held out a hand, her cheeks were turning red from embarrassment. "Sorry..." She muttered under her breathe. Draven smiled and took her outstretched hand.

She lifted him to his feet, with much difficulty for she was smaller then him. Draven looked at Draco and a smiled spread across his feet. He rushed forward and wrapped his arms around Draco, pulling him into a hug.

When they let go, Draven looked around, expecting to see Jamie. He thought the death eaters would have somehow rescued her now. He looked at Draco questioningly. but Draco wasn't meeting his eyes. "Where's Jessie?" Just then, Eden burst into tears and ran from the room.

(A/N) Yyyyya… lol, SHORT chap. But oh well. : )
