Kindred Passion
CHAPTER 14:
Tariq inquired, "What's going on?" To which Harry replied, "Seanna's missing. She's not anywhere at Hogwarts." Walking to the bedroom door, Sirius found it locked. Taking out his wand, he touched the knob, saying "Alohomora'. The door opened onto a nightmare. Just about the entire bed was covered with blood, and there was a trail to the bathroom"but no Seanna. "Oh, dear Havens" Tariq whispered. Picking up some of his thoughts, Harry whirled to face him, crying out, "How could you? She loves you!" Muirinn reached out to him, "Harry, what's wrong?" Looking at Tariq with pure hatred, he burst out. "The son of a bitch got jealous and he raped her. Muirinn, the baby! Some of that blood is Seanna's."
Achak stalked up to the young Seif al Nu'man, "You did what? We are all doing what we can to save your lady and child, and you put her at greater risk. Where is she?" "I d-d-don't know," Tariq stuttered. "She was here when I left." Karim spoke quietly, but Harry heard the grief, "I stayed after the meeting to speak with her. It's my fault, I knew he was angry when I left here, but I never dreamed he'd hurt her." Sibeal went to him, "No Karim, it is not your fault. No one is to blame for his lack of control EXCEPT Tariq. What we desperately need to do is find her." Harry told her, "The Marauder's Map doesn't show her, so she's not on Hogwarts' grounds."
Seanna spent her time wandering in shock. Not realizing that she was bleeding, she became weaker, until she simply decided she didn't want to move. Closing her eyes, she dreamed of her child, and how much she loved it. A man appeared in her dream, "Child, why do you only come to me when you are dying? There are many who would help you if you did not choose to hide and lick your wounds.'
Remus Lupin was exhausted. He, Sirius, and the Loup-garou had been searching for Seanna for days without luck. As he headed back toward the school, an old man appeared before him. "Good day to you, Young Wolf." Remus raised one eyebrow, "And greetings to you also, Ancient one. What brings you away from your pond?" The man answered, "There is one who needs aid not far from my waters. I come to ask you to help her." Fully understanding what the man had not said, Remus responded, "I will go to her right now. Thank you Ancient One. We have been searching a long time for her." With his words, the old man disappeared.
Taking what strength he had, Remus apparated to the pond. The cottage appeared unoccupied, but remembering what the man had said, he looked closer at the trails. He found dark spots of dried blood. Following them, he walked to the cottage. Upon entering, he could see that there was a great deal of blood everywhere. Reaching the stairs, Remus carefully climbed, afraid of what he might find. Entering the bedroom, his heart fell. Seanna lay in a massive pool of blood on the bed. Quickly mindlinking to Sibeal, he told her. "You, Mairead and Achak meet me at Seanna's. I've found her and it's going to be a really close call.' Taking a clean blanket, he gently wrapped the pregnant Seanna, and lifted her into his arms. "Damn that stupid Seif al Nu'man, anyway."
Apparating directly into Seanna's bedroom, he was met by the three he had asked for. Mairead said, "Tell me, Remus." "I found her at the Marauder's Cottage, in a pool of blood. She's been unconscious ever since I found her." As they gently removed the blanket, Muirinn cried out, "Her heart's barely beating. Mairead, I think we're going to have a tough time of this." The healer grabbed Remus, "Get as many of the kindred as you can. Now!" As Remus was rushing out, he almost ran into Miles. Mairead looked up, "Perfect timing, get over here and feed her!" "What?" He exclaimed. Muirinn explained, "Remember Miles, Seanna's of Airmed's heritage. Your blood will help her. Right now she's so weak, Kindred blood is the only chance she and the baby have."
Miles knelt beside the dying Seanna and tore open his wrist, holding it to her. "Somebody get her mouth open,"and just that quick he was answered. As Miles's blood flowed into Seanna, her color changed from a cold white to a very faint pink. Mairead took Miles's place, and as her blood joined Miles's, Seanna actually began to suck from the wound. Looking up at Tariq, who had just entered, Mairead snarled, "You're next!" But at the first taste of his blood, Seanna spit it out and turned her head away. Miles gasped at the implication. Seanna had rejected Tariq. Pushing him out of the way, Muirinn said, "Achak, it's up to you." He shook his head, "She could not handle it." Muirinn replied gently, "Achak, you care about her, would you choose to watch her AND her child die?" Bowing his head, the Nosferatu answered, "No." As his blood touched her lips, Seanna fastened herself to him, and began to drink. Mairead met his eyes, smiling, "Voracious isn't she?" The healer continued, "You know, right now, I think she could drain a Death Eater as quickly as any of us." Achak smiled back, "Yes. She does seem hungered."
As Sibeal convinced Seanna to release Achak, Miles escorted Tariq from the room. Back in the sitting room, he said, "She has made her feelings plain. You are no longer part of her life, and if you wish to blame anyone, it is yourself at fault. The Clans Shaheen and Fianna will now protect her from you." "As will Clan Nosferatu," Achak gave him a cold stare. "To rape one who gave you everything, makes you an animal. Never again will we allow you to do her harm." Sirius inquired, "Achak, what happened?" Miles answered instead, "She has rejected him in such a way, that our laws say the relationship is ended." Remus gasped, "She rejected his blood?" Miles nodded, "Yes, she did." Remus, I don't understand. Please explain it," Sirius begged, his hand on Harry's shoulder. "Ok, Sirius, Seanna was so weak, the only way they could save her was with Kindred blood." "Yes," Miles said," Mairead and I fed her, and then let Tariq. But when he tried, she spat out his blood and turned away from him. According to Kindred law, by refusing his blood, she is refusing all further contact with him." Harry asked, "Are you sure it wasn't her weakness?" Miles answered, "No, Harry. By then, she had taken enough from both Mairead and myself, to know who she was refusing." "Does she need more? I'm willing to help," Karim offered. Tariq lunged at him, "I told you to stay away from her." Grasping Karim by the throat, Tariq began to squeeze. Just as quickly, Karim was free again and Achak had Tariq by his throat. "I suggest that you stop right now. For what you did to her, I would gladly see you cease to exist." Mairead came out to see what the uproar was. Taking one look at the madness in Tariq's eyes, she told Miles, "Secure him, until we can take him to the Clan."
Summoning the Loup-garou, Miles told them how to keep Tariq confined. Turning to Karim, he said, "Thank you for the offer, but Achak also allowed her to feed. Now if we can just keep her holding on to that baby." Harry asked, "Can I see her?" Achak gently told him, "You had better ask Sibeal." On returning to the bedroom Mairead sent Muirinn out. "What is it, Harry?" Can I see Seanna? Please." She hugged him, "Let us get things cleaned up, and then you can come in. Ok?"
A few moments later, Muirinn opened the door, "Ok, Harry, Seanna wants to see you, too." She grasped his arm as he went past. "Be careful, Harry, emotionally, she's very unstable right now. Any problems show up, holler." Harry agreed, "Ok, Muirinn, let's see what I can do to help."
Approaching the bed, he said softly, "Seanna, I'm here. Let me help you." He tenderly took her hand, and in a whirl, he had a weeping woman in his arms. "Seanna, shhh. Talk to me, tell me how I can help." A hand touched his shoulder, "Harry, just let her cry," Achak told him. "She needs to get all the hurt and pain out of her system, and right now, you're probably the only one she'll allow to hold her." Seeing the young man's reaction, Achak said, "No Harry, she knows we care, but because of what he did, she will find it hard to trust any adult male. It's one of the aftereffects of rape."
"Achak, how could he do that to her. She loved him so much?" Achak nodded, "I know Harry. Somehow things got out of control with Tariq. Now he has destroyed a very precious gift. She'll never feel the same way about him. My real concern is her future. But we'll talk later. For now, just hold her and offer what consolation you can give."
Harry sat back with the weeping Seanna held close. Shutting his eyes, he rested his face in her hair. As he sat there, Harry began sensing feelings from Seanna, pain, fear, anger, and most of all despair. With the influx of her emotions, he too, began to cry. For a long time, they both wept, then Harry felt a hand touch his face. "Seanna?" "Harry, why are you crying?" He hugged her closer, "I'm crying with you, for all the hurt you shared with me." Continuing to rest in Harry's arms, Seanna asked, "What am I going to do now?" Harry pushed back so he could see her face. "I'll tell you what you're going to do. You are going to rest and get strong again for your baby. There are all kinds of friends waiting, willing to do anything to help. All MY friends want to come visit and cheer you up. Most of all, Seanna, you are going to allow us to give you our love and affection."
Watching her eyes, he saw a look he did not understand. Seanna cuddled closer, "Harry, please kiss me." Frightened, he said, "No, Seanna," and he yelled, "SIBEAL!" Muirinn came through the door with Mairead hot on her heels, "What's wrong Harry?" His head down, he muttered, "She asked me to kiss her." As Mairead took charge of Seanna, Muirinn led Harry away. Putting her arm around him, she said, "It's ok, Harry, Seanna doesn't know what she's doing. The Kindred blood carries many things, including memories and passion. As soon as she adapts to it, this won't happen again." She hugged him, "I can say for sure that, if you ever tell her, she'll be very ashamed of herself." With a face full of concern, Harry said, "I'll never do that, because I wouldn't want her to feel bad." "Thanks Harry, I was sure you'd understand. Now why don't you scoot for a bit. We'll finish calming her." "Sure Muirinn, g'nite." Muirinn responded, "Good night, Harry," as she watched him leave the room.
As soon as he entered the sitting room, Harry noticed that everyone was very quiet. Approaching him, Sirius took his arm, "Is everything alright, Harry?" He nodded, "Yeah, but I'm worried. How are we going to protect Seanna from Tariq?" Achak answered him, "I'll be here, and when I can't, either Miles or Sirius and Remus will take my place." He looked into Harry's eyes, "Believe me, the last thing we want is for Seanna to be hurt again. Everything possible will be done to protect her." Harry merely nodded, "I'm feeling rather tired, Sirius. I think I'll head for bed. See you tomorrow."
Walking back to his dorm, Harry was accosted by the angry Seif al Nu'man. "You can get to my woman but I can't? That's going to stop." As Tariq advanced toward him, Harry turned and fled back the way he had come. Not being nearly as fast as the Vampyre, he was soon overtaken. Reaching for the teen, Tariq bared his fangs. "MUIRINN!' Harry screamed mind to mind as he tried to hold off the angry Vampyre. Suddenly, Tariq went flying back against the wall with a thud. "Threaten my young one, will you?" Muirinn snarled, "You're no match for me Tariq of Seif al Nu'man. Keep it up and you'll be sharing punishment with Fionn. Now get out of my sight, before I drain your blood myself!" Turning, she touched Harry, "Are you all right? He didn't"" "No, Muirinn. He never laid a fang on me." Remus Lupin came around the corner, "Remus," Muirinn asked, "Will you please make sure Harry gets to bed. I've got to get back to Seanna." "Sure Sibeal! Let's go Harry."
As Muirinn returned to the flat, Miles cornered her, "Sibeal, what happened? All I saw was you flying out the door." "That damned Seif al Nu'man is loose and just went after Harry." She grinned, "I threatened to drain him personally and send him back to join Fionn." Sirius winced, "Let him off light, didn't you?" Muirinn growled, "You wanna see light? Just watch me, if he ever lays a fang on MY familly. The Loup-garou won't EVER find the pieces."
Mairead said thoughtfully, "There's something really strange going on here. He's attacked two of the people he cared for most." Achak entered the conversation, "It's more than that, Healer. I've been watching him for the last several days. Every time a male of any kind gets near her, there's been a look of rage in his eyes." Muirinn asked, "Do you think he attacked Harry because he's jealous?" Achak replied, "It's a possibility. The truly strange thing about it is that this jealous didn't start until recently." Sirius inquired, "Could it be something caused by the potions Severus fed him?" Mairead nodded, "It's very possible. The Kindred are not immune to everything. We'll have to sit back and keep an eye on him for a while."
Muirinn glanced at Mairead, "If you're out here, who's with Seanna?" She replied, "As she is sleeping, I left her alone for a few minutes, but Achak is going to sit with her tonight."
While everyone continue to talk, Achak quietly slipped into the bedroom. Relaxing into a chair near the bed, he watched the young woman who had made such a difference in so many lives. "Achak?" "I'm right here Seanna. What do you need?" With a sob, she replied, "I don't know. I just feel so alone. Can you hold me, please?" Sitting on the bed, he took the trembling woman into his arms. "Is that better?" "Thank you Achak." As he held the still frightened woman, he felt her relax into sleep. Shifting slightly, he made himself comfortable, leaning back against the pillows with Seanna.
