The Girl No One Knew (6) “Look, leaving your self wide open for attack when you keel over like that, always be on your guard, or you shall end up,” Misty hissed as she locked his arms behind him and bit into his shoulder. “Like this. Now punch me in the face! Hard! Make me fly back!” she ordered, and he soon obeyed. Faster then they could think, the once death match ended up into a very rough training session on how to fight. But the by standers didn’t really see a difference, and Misty was once again becoming harsher with all the blood she saw him bleed. “OK, training is up, lets fight!” she finally yelled and lounged at him, knocking him squarely in the chest and sending him into the floor. He kicked up, coming in contact with her ribs and sending her flying backwards a few feet also. She hissed at him and he finally understood something. “She can barely control her self!” he thought as he moved to the side of her jump kick. “She’s like a struggling dog in training school.” this time he blocked an upper cut and punched her in the stomach, sending her into a tree. As their battle raged on, Draco was steeling around the circle, being very careful as to not be seen. He had taken down three of the death eaters, including his dad, Avory and Snape already. Time passed by, and finally Voldemort became impatient with their battle. “Stop playing with your food and Finnish him off!” he bellowed suddenly bringing Misty from her trance like state. “Yes master.” She said and gave Ron a very strong blow to the head sending him into the hole of the tree, and killing him. Draco stopped and peeked over the bush in amazement, he didn’t know that she was gonna kill anyone! “Good as your reward you may eat him.” Voldemort laughed as another of his men fell. Only three left… “Thank you Master.” Misty muttered and walked over to the hole her ears twitching back and forth as she reached in and got Rons body. “Something is watching…something is here...” she thought to herself, her eyes searching all around. Hermione and Harry stared at her unable to say anything as she lifted his body easily over her shoulder. Hermione put her hands to her mouth as tears welled in her eyes, and her whole body started to shake all over. Harry had gone pail, and was very close to tears. “I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!” he repeated over and over again as though he had nothing to say. Misty just lowered her head and jumped into the depths of the trees as the last of Voldemort’s men fell. She put Ron gently on a wide Branch and made Note not to forget him when time came to collect him. Then she looked down on the scene below. Voldemort was starting toward Harry now, with his wand raised, a wicked smile on his slitted face. “Now Harry Potter, I will kill you.” He said maliciously. “Gee where have I heard that before?” Harry answered suddenly very cold and cruel as he got out of the trunk to shield Hermione. “Don’t worry, I will deal with her once your body curses the earth with its decay.” Voldemort laughed a laugh that sent chills up your spine. “Women first.” Harry growled and Voldemort opened his mouth to say those fateful words. But Misty was to fast for him, and jumped on his back just as he got out the word ‘avada’. His wand flew from his fingertips and Misty held him pinned to the ground, hissing and spitting in his face. “I want my Freedom Voldemort.” She hissed evilly into his face. “What is my name? Where is my name?” she hissed and spit at him. “If you don’t tell me, I shall kill you!” “You won’t kill me!” he threatened. “I control you!” he squeezed both fists as tight as he could, and unbearable pain shot every nerve in her body, almost numbing her. Misty hissed even more. “Not any more you don’t! Not any more!” she spat, brining one hand up so that he could see a very long and sharp nail spout from her pointer finger. “Tell me!” her voice quavered with anger as she put her finger near his neck. “Saeko! Your Name is Saeko!” he Gasped out as her nail started to draw blood. CHAPTER SIX Name Revealed “My name is…Saeko?” Sin suddenly whispered, and stumbled off of Voldemort, every nerve in her body screaming, but her mind not responding. Voldemort, taking advantage of her stumble, stood up and smirked. “Yes. Your name, is Saeko.” And then he was gone in a sharp pop. Sin gasped in and out as though her breath was being stolen from her. She put a hand on her right fore arm and screamed in rage and Pain as if possible, more pain vented her already burning body. “Voldemort! Voldemort! What have you done to me!” she screeched, falling to the floor, her eyes turning blood red. ”I will kill you!” she screamed so loud that the very ground shook with rage, her eyes flashing blood red. And then, her arm started to sizzle, blood dripping down her arm and her piercing scream made both Hermione and Harry cover their ears in fear of going death. And then she stopped just as the sun was beginning to rise and peek through the trees’ upper branches and leaves. “What is this?” she said to herself, standing up and shivering as though a sudden cold had dropped on her. “What am I feeling?” she whispered, and suddenly she realized she was in her human form as a breeze excerpted and swept over the clearing, blowing her hair of golden locks around her face. She spotted a shadow that was not supposed to be there and looked up into the dead eyes of Ron. “What happened?” she whispered in aghast, shocked dumb by his dead body, the pain still flowing through her veins, and the blood puddle at her feet. “You got your name back. You killed Ron, and Voldemort fled.” She turned around and stared into Draco’s eyes in confusement. And then it hit her like a tone of bricks just as he draped his cloak around her and Harry and Hermione stepped forward, confused, startled, sad, and mad at the same time. “My name…”she whispered, and suddenly it all came back to her in a flash of darkness…. Her Brutal fight with Ron…her Capturing Voldemort for her name…kidnapping Hermione to lure them into the Forest… Saeko looked at Harry and Hermione with a blank face. Then she looked back up at Ron’s dead face…and suddenly she understood. “I did this.” She whispered looking back at them, arms limp and Draco’s arms around her to keep her covered. “Damn right you did this! You killed Ron and almost got us all killed just for your stupid name! You killed Ron!” Harry screamed at her, unable to contain his rage. “YOU KILLED RON!” he yelled so loud that every one but Saeko flinched. She looked up at Rons’ dead face and let her mouth hang open. “My name…my name is Saeko…” she said as though trying it out. And in that moment, she felt all kinds of emotions wash over her, and all kinds of feelings swept into her face, the red in her eyes dissapearing. She fell to her knees and let out a blood-curdling scream. She put her arms around her self and put her self in a tight ball and started to cry. “I can help him…. He…he is not yet dead but is only a peddle stone from life, let me help him.” Saeko looked up with tears blurring her eyes to see a Unicorn standing over her, the others had moved back in astonishment. She nodded dully and stood up as though she had no feeling in her legs. She jumped up and picked up Rons’ body and carried it back down. “What…what are you doing?” Hermione sobbed as she looked into Ron’s dead stone face. Saeko didn’t answer, only backed away, tripping over Dracos cloak and in to his arms. She dried her eyes and looked at the Unicorn in wonder. It bent upon its knees and touched Ron slightly in the chest with her small horn. A Blast of white light made them all shield their eyes, but it was gone as soon as it came. When Saeko looked again, she saw Ron opening his eyes from what looked like a very unsuccessful nights sleep. He sat up slowly and looked around. “RON!” Hermione screamed joyfully and swung her arms around him, sobbing and kissing him all over with joy. “Ron! Ron! Your…alive!” Harry said surprised but pleased at the same time. “Ron was never dead…though I had thought I had killed him…you have a strong will Ron.” Saeko said quietly and they all looked up at her once more. “Do you think that this is all a game? Do you! We want answers! And now!” Hermione screeched letting Ron go and jumping into Saeko’s face. Saeko did not lose her composure as her ears twitched. “Mrs. Granger, you will get answers in due time, until then we must get back to the Castle right away, right now.” Dumbeldore’s voice called out, walking out of the bushes and petting the Unicorn before walking over to them. “Dumbledore!” Draco said slightly surprised. “Hello Mr. Malfoy, now come, every one, we must get back to the castle.” Dumbledore said, and they where quickly rushed out of the forest, Saeko saying one last thank you to the Unicorn that saved Rons’ life ~*~ When they where finally inside the castle walls, they made their way quickly to Dumbledores office. “Please, take a seat.” He said sitting behind his desk, pictures snoring softly. But Saeko knew they were not asleep. “Now Misty, if you don’t mind, we would like it if you told us your History.” Dumbledore said, folding his spindly hands. “Um, OK.” Misty said taking a deep breath, she started to tell them all of what had happened and why they did what they did. And as she spoke, she felt herself becoming drained. Pain, happiness, sadness, even the dull soreness in her body was disappearing. She simply felt nothing, and her voice spoke it to them. “But why didn’t you tell us?” asked Hermione sounding a bit hurt. “Well, if we told you, it wouldn’t look as real as it did, and Voldemort would have known I tricked him. And Rons’ anger did do a great job. Voldemort thinks that one of you our dead, he will let up his powers, a bit.” Saeko told them. “So your name is Saeko then is it?” Dumbledore said thoughtfully. “Yes, yes it is. And now the spell is half broken.” Saeko whispered. “Half broken? I thought that once you found your name, you would be free of Voldemort’s spell!” Draco suddenly burst out. “I did not find my name, he told it to me. A Demons name is like its soul, with that taken away, they have no soul. I am only half demon, so he took away half of my soul, but once he told me my name, only a quarter of my soul came back. I need to find my name in order to get my freedom, my name, and my soul back, out of Voldemort’s hands.” Saeko sighed and leaned back, drawing Dracos cloak close about her. “You see, usually when a Demon loses their soul, they do not have the strength to learn their name, because that is all they needed to do. My being half demon, Voldemort knew that this would be a threat, so he took me under his control, took away my name, and made me his slave.” Saeko shivered and put her head down. “As much as I want to believe this is over, it is not. And I am sorry I put you all through so much trauma.” She finished. “It is alright Saeko, we understand fully. But next time; please do not try anything like this again. Notify me and I will help you take care of it in a less dangerous way. I excuse you all from your classes today, you all need some time to recuperate.” Dumbledore said politly and they stood up tiredly, just now noticing how sour their bones and joints felt. “We thank you Professor Dumbledore.” Saeko whispered and they walked out of the office in silence, Draco helping Saeko to walk. “Lets go to the Room of Requirement on the third floor. We will have everything we need there.” Hermione suggested and they all nodded before making their way there, Saeko and Draco not protesting even though they didn’t know what it was they spoke of. Once there, Harry walked back and forth infront of the wall until a door appeared. “Ladies first.” He said politly and opened the door for Saeko and Hermione to step through. As Saeko stepped through the door, she gasped aloud. It was almost like an indoor spa, with small hot tubs in the corners of the rooms, with a table full of food in the middle, and nice fluffy blankets and towels on chairs by the hot tubs. The hot tubs already where full and steaming and each corner had a littler thick hanger to cover who ever was in the hot tub. “Uh, we have a small problem.” Harry commented as the boys stepped in after them. “Only four hot tubs, and five of us.” Ron added looking around. Hermione rubbed her feet in the carpet that suddenly appeared and smiled. “Well, one wish come true.” She remarked. “I wish there was one more hot tub, with another pair of hangings and fluffy towels and a fluffy blanket.” She said, and right before their eyes, out of the wall infront of them appeared a duplicate to everything around it, with a hot tub full of steaming water, hangings on either side of it, with a chair with a fluffy blanket and a fluffy towel on in. “No more problems.” Saeko sighed in relief, before going to the newly made hot tub and drawing the curtains round before taking off Dracos cloak and lowering herself into the bubbling and warm hot tub. They spent the day in that small spa, relaxing and almost completely forgetting their problems. It was only somewhere near noon when they where eating lunch when they where gathered around the food table eating and drinking, with fluffy robes around them talking and eating when they finally got serious And started talking about last night. “Do you know where Voldemort might be keeping your name?” Ron asked. “Um, I have a small hint, but I am not at all sure.” Saeko replied carefully. “Tell us, maybe we know something that can help.” Draco said. “Alright, it was way back when he first picked me off the street…” she started. ~ Flash Back ~ “…Yes my dear Sin, that is what your name is now, Sin. I will keep your name so far away in the West that you won’t even know where it is. Deep in the Depths of Fire Mountain, yes.” Voldemort hissed. “Where is Fire Mountain?” asked Sin quietly. “You insolent fool! Never question me!” Voldemort yelled and squeezed his hand softly, making her twitch uncomfortably. “And yet, I shall tell you. On an unknown Island near Hokkaido Japan, Fire Mountain lays just in the middle of a thick wood where wood elves live.” Voldemort whispered almost to himself. “Now go do your chores half breed!” he yelled and threw his cup of wine at her, breaking the glass and cutting her in several places. ~ End Flash Back ~ “So, some place near Japan…” Hermione whispered softly. “Yeah, that’s what he said, an unknown island near Hokkaido, Japan.” Saeko whispered back, and then they all sat in silence for a while. “I wish we had a map of the magical world, it would be a lot easier.” Harry suddenly burst out. And answering his plea, the chairs moved back several paces and the room stretched wider as the table became circular and the food cleared the middle and a large circular map of the whole world, under water and not, appeared. They stood up and servayed the map intently. Many detailed spots where everywhere, that magnified into the air for you to see better if you touched the particular spot lightly. “Hey, this is where I lived.” Saeko spoke out, poking the paper to show them Fresno, California. “Here is HogWarts!” Harry also spoke out, and magnified the spot on the map where it was. “Hey this map shows all the Wizarding schools in the world!” Hermione said, deeply impressed. “And here is the unknown island He was talking about.” Draco said gravely, magnifying a very small island on the map. “Population; 200 elves, more then 3,000 cedar oak, and many different other kinds of beasts that will take to long to say. Even Hagrids Blast Ended Skreets are here.” Draco told them, running his finger down a list. “Blast Ended Screwets,” Hermione corrected nonchalantly. “How do we magnify it a bit more? I wanna see the whole island.” Hermione said, and on call, the mini Version Island grew to the size of the whole table, and moved in a silent slow circle so they could see the whole thing. “Hey, this unknown island is actually known to less then 50 people on earth total, and it actually goes by the name ‘Elf Island’… I wander why.” Draco read off sarcastically. “Ha, I found the Volcano.” Harry announced, stopping the mini model by putting out a hand. They moved to his side of the table and looked on. The trees seemed to be spread apart for their personal view of the volcano, and they saw it perfectly. “A bigger view of this side of the island would help.” Hermione said hint fully loudly and the room immediately complied. That side of the island was magnified to half its real size, and they looked at it in wonder. A cove stood in the ocean, with a lot of sand hills on top of it, after the sand hills, large rocks stood for about two miles. After that, came the forest. There was no particular path into the forest, but they saw that most of the cedar oak was a darker color as it got closer to the volcano. “Wow, this is very detailed.” Harry complemented in wonder as he traced from the grove to the sand hills to the large rocks and then into the forest. “I wanna see inside of the volcano.” Draco suddenly said and again they were immediately looking into the mountaintop. No smoke came from it, but it was still open wide. Steps traced down its side in a down ward spiral. Once the stairs stopped, jutting rocks came to meet them and in a corner a rock door larger then themselves stood with a string dangling from it. “Well. Now we know this is going to be any happy outing. Especially with all the beasts on that island. An I am certain that Voldemort put special beasts nearer the volcano just in case.” Saeko said. “How do you mean when you say, ‘special’?” asked Ron gulping. “Dragons, fog sharks, it could be anything, just name it.” Draco replied. “Dragons.” Ron gulped again. “It could even be spiders. Who knows.” Saeko smiled slyly at Ron who suddenly looked very nervous. “Maybe we shouldn’t go, it isn’t save you know.” He stuttered. “Well, I wasn’t exactly planning to go, but now that you bring it up, it might just be a good idea. The Elves on that island may be friendly. They could help us. Like I said, who knows.” Saeko smiled as Ron groaned at his stupidity. “But remember, we must tell Dumbledore about this, and The Order might want to know also.” Hermione reminded them. “We know Hermione, we know.” Harry said smiling and shaking his head.
