chapter 3
Fleur pov.
I laid in my bed thinking about how Nathen and I had met. The events kept replaying in my mind as if a picture.
Flashback.
I was walking down the street in the night as it was filled with many people who were walking around. I was admiring the shops around I was grabbed by my arms by older men who were staring at me like I was meat. "Aren't you a pretty one?" The first muggle said while licking his lips. "We're going the have some fun aren't we?" He said as the other muggle nodded with no emotion. I was pulled into an alley wishing someone was able to save me. I was then pushed against a wall and felt one of the muggles hands going up my side. My eyes started to sting with tears flowing from them as I stayed silent in hope I could come out of this unharmed.
"Please don't do this." I cried as I felt another hand around my neck. I knew then that I wouldn't be safe.
"Yeah sorry can't hear you honey." The first muggle said menacing. That's when I heard a thud and looked over the muggles shoulder to see a boy with a hood on hiding his eyes.
"Let the girl go." His voice sounded young and foreign but full of authority. The 2 muggles turned to look at the kid.
"And what will you do if we don't?" The first muggle said. "Cry to mommy?" He laughed and looked at his accomplice and nodded. The hand was released from my throat and I finally got a good look at the 2nd man. He was at least 6 ft and 8 inches with brown short hair with brute like muscles that looked inhuman. I looked at the first and saw him a mere 5 ft 8 inches with a bald head and a bit plump.
"I was hoping to let you live but oh well." The boy said with regret before flicking his wrist causing a flash of light to happen from the same location before he brought his hand to the big burly man causing him to stop. The kid pulled back his hand to show a dark liquid dripping from a blade on his wrist.
"Hey Jacob you need help dealing with the-" the first one said as Jacob fell to the ground spitting blood. The kid then did some weird crap and snapped his neck. The first muggle had let go of me allowing me to get away from him. "How the hell kid?" The man said afraid. "What are you?" There was no response as the kid walked to the him. The muggle got into a boxer stance before taking a swing at the kid that was 5 ft 2 inches. He dodged the swing easily before grabbing the muggles wrist and brought his other arm against the mans elbow making a loud popping noise as the muggle let out a cry of pain before the kids blade was put into the muggles throat silencing the cry. I watched the scene with the fear that I was next. The kid then pulled off his hood and showed he was about 12. His eyes showed kindness unlike any I'd seen before.
"Are you okay ma'am?" He asked with concern in his voice. He walked over to me as he flicked his wrist again causing the blade to disappear. I started to cry as I slide down the concrete wall and put my head into my legs letting tears flow freely. I heard a sigh and felt a hand on my shoulder causing me to flinch. I looked back up to my savior to see him kneeling down looking at me. I saw his silver eyes stare into mine. "Would you like me to escort you to your home ma'am?" He asked as I nodded. He picked me up and I held his hand as we left the alley way. We got back into the crowd of people who didn't even seem to acknowledge us. "Where are we going?" He asked as I started to walk back down the street. Everything was silent between us as I got back to my friends who were surprised to see me back so soon.
"Hey fleur what's wrong?" One of my friends asked when she saw me holding the hand of the kid. "Got a boyfriend or something?" I then instantly felt my hand empty and looked back at my savior to see him blushing. I looked back at my friend who then saw my eyes. "What happened?" She asked urgently.
"I-I-I-I was almost...." I tried to say as fresh tears sprung to my eyes. "I-If it wasn't for him," my friend pulled me close as everyone started to surround me, "I-I-I-I wouldn't be here." I cry more.
"Who are you?" My friend asked the boy who I saw smile kindly.
"Just a guy who doesn't stand for injustice like that." He said before bowing. "Now if you are safe then I should be on my way." He then turned before I grabbed his shoulder causing him to turn to me. "Yes?" He said as I then kissed him on both cheeks causing him to blush. "Oh why uh, thank you." He said looking away making him look cute.
"Is there anyway I can talk to you again?" I asked as he rubbed his chin before pulling out a pencil and paper. After he wrote something down he handed to me.
"Send an owl there in 3 days." He said before walking off. I then saw him apparate.
"Saved by a baby wizard." My friend chuckled before hugging me. "I'm glad you are alright Fleur." I nodded and hugged back wondering who my savior was.
Flashback end.
I stared at the ceiling when I heard a tapping. I curiously looked over to the window to see a hawk holding a piece of paper. I opened it and saw the American writing of Nathen. I smiled softly and opened the window retrieving the letter. I then read it as nathens hawk flew off to the owlery.
Dear Fleur,
It is good to see you again and hope everything is well. I just wish to ask you to not bring up the moment again. I know this is a strange request, but for my safety and yours I must beg you not to talk about it. If you wish for an explanation then let's meet tomorrow at the bridge that connects the forbidden forest to the school grounds.
With love,
Nathen J. Ryan.
I was certainly confused to say the least but at least I'd get some answers tomorrow. I then laid back down before closing my eyes to sleep.
