Make my heart a better place

Dream:
As the whomping willow's branches swing gracefully back and forth, Violet zigzags her way in between them to a comfortable spot at the trunk of the tree. She pulls her knees up against her chest for a moment, in fear that the tree's branches might take a swing at them, but scolds her lack of confidence and relaxes. Her head rests against the rogh bark of the tree, and she stares idly at the cloudy skies...

Suddenly Violet woke up in cold sweat and I shiver went down her spine. She sat up and looked around , her mouth hung open. Violet was in the forbidden forest, still in her Pj's which was only shorts and a tank. Who had brought me here? She thought or did I sleep walk again? Whatever got her here didn't matter it was getting back. Violet looked around and saw nothing but darkness, she could faintly make out some trees but nothing more. When her eyes adjusted she could see a little bit more but not much. Violet heard something crack behind her and she tried searching for her wand but it was no use she didn't have it on her. So she started to run fast away from the noise. Violet tripped and landed on her face , she cursed out loud and turned to sit on her butt to see who had been chasing her.

Beryx was once again in the Forest. It was more a regular routine these past few weeks since his turning. Whether or not he was hunting, coming to this place relaxed him. He knew at least here was a place he didn't have to worry about hiding what he was now. There were darker things than him lurking among its bushes.

For roughly an hour, the fifth year made his way deeper into the trees in a reluctant search for a kill. It had been two days since he drained anything and he could feel the hunger nag at his now feral instincts. He would have to find something to be sure he wouldn't attack any of his classmates the following day. It was then the familiar sound of a rabbit's rustling caught his now acute ears. Closing his eyes, he centered on his target and ran after it. In a few moments his hands grasped fur, but as he pulled it close to make a bite another racing heartbeat and the sound of rushing blood alerted his senses. Being newly bitten, the hunter in him couldn't resist bigger prey so dropping the rabbit he followed the other instead. Running over fallen branches and the frozen earth, he soon met up with his new target as she fell. She fell? This was not good..not at all. Pausing he watched her get up and that's when he realized who it was, "Hi Violet....What's up? Sorry if I scared you.."

Being in the forest dressed up only in shorts and a tank top made a girl shiver again. It was a cold night in the middle of winter. She didn’t know why she hadn’t woken up earlier stepping in the snow with her bare feet. She didn’t remember when the last time she was sleepwalking was. But it was probably last time she walked on Blaze Dolohov. The guy liked making her life hell since he tricked her into his bed. He was the reason she became a silent and shy figure. She did not know he cheated on his girlfriend with her. Violet was a very cheerful girl before, she could have long talk about everything and nothing with anyone. But after being a play toy, just a pretty little thing she had changed and trusted no-one.

Violet narrowed her eyes to see better. But the look caught her of guard. Beryx! Her heart started beating faster as she looked at him for a longer while. She had a crush on him and not being really interested in quidditch she’s been going on the matches just to see him flying. Though seeing him so late in the forbidden forest wasn’t the same. He did scare her. She knew what she was doing there but what the heck brought him there? She couldn’t guess. Being a prefect she should give a reprimand but it had no sense since she was there too only with her pajamas on. "Hi…" she said dimly. "I guess I was sleepwalking. And… what are you doing here?" she asked him instead of telling him that he scared her.

Beryx's gaze never left her when he realized she was wearing little to nothing on such a cold night. On a normal day she was beautiful, but now, with her rising heartbeat and skimpy attire, Violet was irresistible. He was afraid if he moved, his desire to feed or have 'fun' would take over what little rational thinking he had left. He was so caught up in his own thoughts that he didn't know his once blue eyes had become a fiery orange, a sign his vampirism was making itself known.

It wasn't until she spoke that he became more aware. She had been sleepwalking this whole time? Well that was interesting to be sure..The forest was a good two miles out at least.."Well if that is true, you are more talented than me about sneaking out...aren't you freezing?"" He asked, hoping to have distracted her from her real question, "If I had brought my cloak, I'd give it to you." Even as he spoke, he made no move toward her, as if frozen in place himself..."You probably should head back.."

As her eyes adjusted to the darkness Violet took a full glance of Beryx. He was everything she could only dream for. She lost her confidence and was unsure of anything. She always wanted to make a step forward, to give him a sign of affection, to let him know that she had butterflies in her stomach when he was around. Though, she was afraid of being turned down. Why should he find an interest in Violet when he could probably have any girl he wanted? She was just a meaningless Hufflepuff with a little to say. Yes, meaningless. It was what she thought about herself. No matter that she got a prefect's badge during the summer. She thought it was a mistake, she couldn't find any reason for getting it. Of course she followed a schedule, liked order and paid attention to details. But she still couldn't believe she became a prefect just like her cousin, Nina.

Then Vi blinked twice. Did his eyes change a color? Something was no right but she ignored it. It wasn't such a big deal at last. Violet smiled brightly at Ber's comment. Yes, it was almost beyond belief that she could sneak out not even realizing what she was doing. Happily nothing had happened to her all the way she made. "You know you shouldn't tell a prefect that you sneak out." Violet giggled then continued. "I like cold weather but you are right. I'm a bit cold." the truth was that his attendance made her warm and even with her skimpy attire she wasn't freezing just yet. "Thank you for a care, anyway." If she had a wand with herself she would probably summon her cloak and shoes maybe just to keep warmth while heading back to the castle. "You know I can’t let you stay here alone, so I suggest you to walk me back." Her smile still on her face seemed glued there. Violet couldn't believe she said so much. She displayed rather silent demeanor lately.

It was intoxicating..that's what it was, or what she was. What was his problem? Yes he was now a vampire and in need of blood, but what happened to his charisma? His ability to charm without effort? It must of flown out the door at Violet's mere presence. Somehow he had to get it back.

As she started to speak again, he straightened up and put one of his signature smiles, without revealing his fangs. The smile itself really wasn't forced, for it was odd to see her talk at all. She was a Prefect, though also a Hufflepuff, and unless required, she rarely spoke to him.

You know you shouldn't tell a prefect that you sneak out."

When he heard this, the fifth year had to smirk. Even now as hunger ate at him, Ber had to reply teasingly, "You are probably right, so I guess I'm at your mercy..." He gave a chuckle and then nodded when she commented about the weather and then finally about him following her back. It was her last 'suggestion' that tore his desires separate ways. The first wanted to follow wherever she would go and the other to refuse, for safety's sake. Her rising heart rate was not helping the situation by enticing him to attack.

But it was her own smile that commanded him to do as she said. He hadn't seen such a sweet one in forever..Do even as his smarter nature told him to say no, his mouth said, "Whatever you say, Lady Prefect.." He the gestured his hand to signal she could go first...

All Violet wanted was to spend more time with Beryx since she found courage to speak with him. She was more than happy that she met him as she woke with a start than anybody else from hundreds people in school. She was happy that she wasn't alone in the dark dangerous forest. Who exactly knows what creatures lived there? Violet didn't really like her life but it didn't mean she wanted to be a victim of some hungry creature. She still was unsure of why her legs led her there, though. It was a mysterious place, good to describe in the stories Violet has been writing since she was five. However, it wasn't very welcoming place and hanging around so far in the woods in the middle of the night was somehow or other scary for her.

Despite the cold weather Vi blushed hearing Beryx's words. He just did agree to go with her. It nearly made her heart flutter. She felt important again. No, she didn't want to use her position of a prefect against him. She just wouldn’t feel good if she left him like that alone. Awareness that something bad could happen to him after her leave, and that she did nothing to prevent that would kill her, no doubt. Pangs of conscience have a potent power, especially for her. Violet nodded slightly and moved from the spot she was standing on. She didn't exactly knew how to go out but she hoped she was heading to the right direction.

Beryx followed as they began to head back and he couldn't help but smirk when he noticed her blushing. He had no idea the Prefect liked him this much. Yes she was often more lenient on him than others, but he figured it was just her hufflepuff nature.

Ever since they had met, the young Silvasi had taken a liking to her which now in the past few months have seemed to increase into something more. Around other girls he might be a big flirt, but whenever he's with Vi, there's rarely anything flirtatious that could do her beauty justice, usually leaving him quieter than normal. Now was no different.

A long silence came upon them to where even the crickeys and birds had quit their songs. It was then by instinct he paused to listen. Whenever a forest went quiet, it was never good. Silence only meant danger or death in the wild. He moved around her, still listening until a solid rapid heartbeat sounded in his ears, followed by several more. It could only be one thing..Dire wolves.

These were the magical beasts created by a bad experiment of some crackpot a few decades before. These wolves were 3 times larger than the average Grey wolf, not to mention 3 times the appetite. This time the two students were on the menu.

As the pack came out of the shadows, 4 of these beasts surround them on every corner, giving no room to run. As the wolves circled and planned their attack, Ber did his best to keep himself between them and Vi. There was no way he would let her get hurt. In a low voice he asked, "Um Vi? Did you happen to have your wand hidden somewhere in there? I forgot mine..."

Violet was so happy that he found herself in the forest that night even if it meant sleepwalking and breaking some rules. She met Beryx there and nothing else mattered. Well, except of getting out from there. Her mind was on cloud nine and if it wasn't so important to be careful in the woods she would close her eyes and lose in her thoughts. But she had to put her imagination down for their sake.

Suddenly everything became silent. Violet thought that she did it again, turned off everything around just to listen to her own thoughts only. But no, she didn't even hear Beryx's steps anymore. She shook her head to make sure she wasn’t dreaming and looked at the boy she had a special place for in heart. He was listening to something or just it seemed. She tilted her head wondering what made him to when she saw a pair of wild eyes. She looked around and found out there were more of those. Violet made few steps back instinctively just to find herself closer to Beryx. What now? She had no wand and he seemed to be the one who could protect her now. She didn't want to end as a meal for a creature which looked like a wolf but bigger, much bigger. Not when it seemed that she could be happy again. And then she heard Ber asking her in a low voice. She froze for a moment as she understood the meaning of the words. They were completely defenseless without wands or it was what she thought. "I'm… I'm afraid I did not." she said. If she had her wand she would warm herself, use lumos to light the way to the castle. She would take it out immediately as she saw the danger.

It was then Beryx gave Violet a quick glance as soon as he heard her response. Niether of them had wands, which was fatally bad news in this case. It wasn't that they were completely defenseless, as vi was likely thinking now, but the young vampire was afraid to release the bloodthirsty monster in him in case he became a threat to her as well. Even if he had complete control and she just saw what he was, there was a good chance she would panic and let everyone else know as well. He had done his best to keep this a secret, but so far his attempts had failed. three others already knew and now it was Vi's turn, "Alright, then don't blame me what happens-"

But before he could finish one of the wolves attacked, comping down on his right arm with a force to crush bone. The pain was so sudden and excruciating, his vampire instincts took over instantly. His fangs grew longer and his eyes were now a blazing orange as he swung the wolf clamped on his arm with full force toward its closest packmate. This allowed his now bleeding arm to be released as well as daze the two impacted. Turning around quickly he now saw the alpha dog hadpounced, taking down Vi as his snarled with hunger.

Making an on growling noise himself, Ber kicked the wolf and then tackled it as soon as it was off of her. She was his and there was no way it could have her. Making sure it didn't, the young vampire bit down and drained it dry. As soon as it was motionless, he released it and staggered to his feet, blood now dripping from his chin as he looked at the hufflepuff like he had only moments before..hungry with desire. After a minure or so he realized the other wolves had already slinked away in fear, for what he had done to their leader.

His wounded arm was now healed, except for the scars of bite marks imprinted in his cold skin. The only thing left hurting was his humiliation of what he had shown. Once out of the trance, he looked away quickly as he wiped the blood from his chin, "Sorry Vi..I had no choice..."

Violet's eyes were full of fear. Now she felt how cold was outside. She couldn't help her mind focusing on the only one subject. They were going to die now. If they weren't two main characters in the story she would think it was quite romantic; two lovebirds dieing together. But Violet couldn't know if Beryx had even a slight feeling for her. She didn’t know he liked her. She was a modest humble girl, never considered herself beautiful. But before she died she would like to hear that she was something more than just a pretty face.

Shaking from fear and cold Violet heard Beryx's unfinished words. She screamed as she realized why he didn't finish them. One of the wolves attacked him and she couldn’t do anything to help him. Well, she could pounce on that creature, hit it with something but everything was so fast that she hadn't enough time think. And of course fear kind of paralyzed her. She stood there as if petrified because of what she just saw. She thought it was only her imagination cause by fear but no, Beryx's fangs did grow longer. Was it possible that her love was a vampire? Now she knew what he meant by saying those words to her. Violet didn't know how to mark it. Of course they weren't so defenseless now but it wasn't the way she would prefer to find out about it. And then the wolf pounced on her and took her down. She tried to push it off but it was too heavy for her. Vi cried thinking it was over for her.

Fortunately Beryx was there, willing to save her. He kicked the wolf and it got off of her. Vi lifted herself slightly on her elbows to see Beryx tackling the wolf so it couldn't get to her again. Her heart was beating extremely fast. She had never been so frightened before. She watched her crush biting down and draining the creature which attacked her. Violet got to the sitting position and pushed herself few inches back. No! Impossible! He couldn’t be a creature of the night. But it seemed so real that it couldn’t be just a bad dream. And his look at her. It just made it worse for her to make up her mind. She was just staring at him with her now blind eyes full of tears.

Vi heard Beryx apologizing. She wasn't sure why he did it; he just saved her life in the only one possible way. Violet wiped her tears off of her eyes and blinked twice. She gulped still a bit frightened of what had just happened. But she wasn't there to judge him. It didn't change her feelings for him and she could only be grateful he was there. Vi shook her head and stood up wiping herself off. She walked over to Beryx slowly and not thinking twice hugged him. "It's ok. Thank you for saving me."

He hadn't expected that. Not in the least. Ber had expected her to run after the sight. or at least be afraid and hesitant, but none of that showed when she chose to get up and hug him. That move alone was enough to stun him. Even when he was human, any show of affection was very rare, so at first he was uncertain what to do about it.

Though after a moment he embraced her as well as he heard her thank him. Another wave of silence followed, but eventually he answered, "Your welcome." Another minute passed before he had the will to pull away to give his kills a second glance, "I'm actually glad they wanted a fight.." he muttered more to himself than her. Looking back at her he said, motioning just ahead of them, "We need to keep moving, just in case they come again.."

Violet knew that it might not be the thing Beryx could have expected but she was very understanding figure. Maybe he was now a creature of the night, maybe he seemed dangerous now but Vi was sure that deep inside he was still the same boy she found interest with. It did not matter for her that he was a vampire. She couldn’t be afraid of him, not after he saved her life. And she wanted to show him that there was no need to be worried about it. He had to know that she wasn’t about to scream anytime she saw him. It was probably his secret and Violet was willing to keep it for herself. She knew it possibly was hard for him to reveal this in front of her so there was no need to make him feel worse with it.

A girl smiled as Beryx embraced her. Actually she beamed inside. He made her heart flutter again. It didn't matter his skin was cold, she fell in love with a vampire at last. She was just happy that she had a chance to have him so close. Beryx pulled away and glanced at the creature he had killed few moments ago. Vi heard what he muttered but marked it as an effect of a thirst he might had before so she said nothing. She nodded with a smile as she heard him speaking again. He had the right. "Shall we?" she asked as she moved from the spot she was standing on just to make him move as well.
