(U)Chapter Eight(U)

"Sorry…" Draco said apologetically as he bumped into someone in the hall, turning back to speak to Bella at his side, "So do you have any plans for the weeke-"

"You should be sorry, sorry for touching me you dirty little faggot!"

The rude voice made Bella gasp in shock and made Draco's cheeks flush red in embarrassment and anger. Turning slowly he faced the huge jock he'd accidentally bumped shoulders with.

"What did you say?" Draco asked in a low and threatening voice.

"You heard me," the jock sneered down at Draco. His friends were doing wonderful goldfish impressions like Bella and the rest of the crowd that had stopped in shock to watch. "Faggots like you shouldn't be allowed, it's disgusting."

"Jimmy," one of his friends muttered disapprovingly as Draco's anger grew. Oh how he wanted to hex this homophobic muggle to death but somehow he held back, speaking instead in a tight voice,

"Don't call me a faggot."

"I'll call you a faggot if I want to call you a faggot because that's what you are, a disgusting little faggot," Jimmy spat in Draco's face, continuing to speak loudly, "You and that (B)boyfriend(B)," he sneered the word and Draco felt his anger rise even more, "of yours are sick, sick and wrong."

Draco growled, yes he growled like an animal or like a…like a vampire. He didn't have time to find that amusing, insulting Jasper was the last straw for him and his restraint shattered. And so he reacted like any other pissed off teenage boy would, he pulled his arm back and used his clenched fist to break Jimmy's nose. A gasp went around the crowd of students as Jimmy flew backwards, hitting the lockers along the wall and sliding down them. He brought a hand up to his nose in shock and it came away bloody.

"Don't you dare insult me or my boyfriend you homophobic dickhead!" Draco shouted down at the stunned Jimmy. Apparently he hadn't been expecting Draco to lash out like that. Of course he didn't know all the fight training Draco had had during the war, the hand-to-hand lessons from professional fighters.

"Mr Malfoy!" the shout came from behind him as Mr Mason fought his way through the stunned crowd, taking hold of Draco's arm, "What do you think you are doing? Behaving like this in the hallway…"

"He called me a disgusting little faggot!" Draco shouted in response. Mr Mason's face darkened at he looked down at Jimmy. Finally he spoke in a worryingly calm and low voice,

"Both of you, to the Principals Office. Now."

Draco was suspended for the rest of the week and Jimmy was given a weeks worth of detention with the Principal himself. Lucius and Narcissa were half-angry, half-proud of their sons actions, they were angry that he'd lashed out at a fellow student no matter what that student had said but proud of him for holding back, for not exposing them with a hex or a curse.

During his four-day suspension, the incident happening on the Monday, Jasper came and visited him every day, skipping school. Everyone at school knew where he was except the teachers, for some reason they didn't put the two facts together. The couple hung out in Draco's room, went for long walks together around the town and even went to the cinema. That had been interesting, Draco had never been to a cinema before and Jasper hadn't been to one in twenty years (Alice had dragged him to one once and he'd sat there in agony, resisting the urge to feed off the many humans. This time it had been amazingly easy, sat beside Draco, holding his hand gently in his own.

It was on the Friday everything went a little bit wrong. They had been curled up on Draco's bed, talking about the movie they had seen the night before when a loud scream had come from outside. It was just kids enjoying themselves on a Friday afternoon, screaming with delight at being home from school but it was enough to set Draco off. He flew backwards of the bed, scurrying back into the corner of the room, his hands over his ears as his back slammed against the wall.

"Draco!" Jasper gasped worriedly, feeling the uncontrollable fear coming off of his boyfriend. He jumped down from the bed and knelt before Draco who was shaking his head from side to side. "Draco what is it? What's wrong?"

"Screaming…" Draco gasped, "Stop it…stop screaming…please…"

"Draco," Jasper said softly, trying to use his powers to calm his panicking boyfriend. But once again it wouldn't work. Why couldn't he help his boyfriend? Of all people why couldn't he help him? "Draco, please calm down. I'm here."

"Please stop screaming…please…" he was trapped in his memories and the cold hands that settled on his arms for once held no comfort for him…Death Eaters have cold hands…they made your entire body cold… "Please…leave me alone…"

"Draco what is it?" Jasper asked, rubbing at the warm arms gently.

"Please…" Draco trembled beneath his touch, tears streaming down his face. "Please…stop…" As he begged the terrorized screams that would never leave him alone his mental defences crumbled.

All at once he felt an overwhelming sense of calm sweep over him.

Jasper.

"Draco?" Jasper asked quickly, feeling that his prayers had been answered as his gift worked on the boy he loved more than anything in the world. "Draco, look at me." Slowly Draco did so and Jasper moved his hands up to cup Draco's face, his thumbs wiping away the tears. "What's wrong Draco? What are you afraid of?"

"I'm sorry," Draco said softly, "I'm sorry…I…I…"

"Don't apologise," Jasper ordered softly, pulling Draco into his arms and rocking him back and forth in his arms, "Just tell me what is wrong, I want to help you. Tell me what's wrong."

"You're already helping…how are you helping?" Draco asked confused, "I thought you said that you couldn't…"

"I can at the moment," Jasper said softly, "And for that I am grateful. Please Draco, what caused that?" Draco pressed his face into Jasper's neck,

"You're going to think I'm stupid," he said softly.

"Never."

"I'm frightened of screams, of shouts and really loud noises," Draco admitted in a rush, "Do you remember that I told you I was in a dark place for a while?" Jasper nodded, making sure to keep the calming waves washing over Draco as he told his story, "It was…it was a magical prison."

"You were in…"

"Yes," Draco answered shortly, "We did some things even though we didn't want to but the Wizarding world tarred all of the followers with the same brush and we all went there." He took a deep breath, feeling his mind closing off again. But as it did Jasper's calming effect disappeared and he started to feel afraid again. "Oh! I just realised why you couldn't help me before!"

"Why?" Jasper asked.

"I learned how to put a sort of shield around my mind. It's second nature now," Draco said, "I do it without thinking."

"Keep it down, let me help you," Jasper pleaded softly.

"Not always…"

"Just when you need me," Jasper whispered.

"Ok," Draco said, letting the shield fall once more, "So we were put in this prison and there are these creatures that suck the good memories and happy feelings out of you until all that is left is fear and pain and despair. They're the prison guards." Jasper was horrified. "I didn't mind them. I hated myself so much for all that I had done I didn't care if they took away every smile I had ever given. But they left me alone, left me alone with the screaming. Everybody screamed there. Loud, never ending screams. Harry told me I was screaming when he arrived but I don't remember." Draco buried his face once more. "Ever since I have had a fear of screaming and shouting. It's been getting better but every now and then something catches me unawares and…"

"And you panic," Jasper finished for him.

"Yes," Draco nodded, "I feel such an idiot."

"Don't, everyone is afraid of something," Jasper said loudly.

"Even you?" Draco asked.

"Yes," Jasper nodded, "I'm afraid that when the day comes I won't be there to protect you from whatever evil tries to take you away."

"Oh," Draco mumbled.

"Fear does not make you an idiot. And I am going to help you through this. I promise," Jasper said passionately, "I will do everything I can to help you."

"What your doing now is enough," Draco said softly, feeling incredibly safe at that moment in his boyfriends arms. Jasper smiled and held Draco even tighter, pressing a gentle kiss to Draco's soft hair. "Thank you."

"Any time," Jasper said, meaning it. "Now what were we talking about before? I can't remember." Draco couldn't either so just shrugged, not willing to loose Jasper's arms around him yet. Jasper didn't even think of trying to let go yet. "Well on a subject to lighten the mood back up nd move on from this, do you know how to play baseball?"

"No, why?" Draco asked slowly, thankful that Jasper wasn't going to spend hours talking to him about his fear. Draco knew that ignoring it wouldn't help but talking about it for hours wouldn't help either. The hugging and the calm feeling, that helped.

"My family and I are going to play a game of it tomorrow when the thunderstorm arrives. Edwards inviting Bella. I wondered if you'd like to come but if you don't know the game you might not enjoy it…" Jasper said slowly.

"I'd love to come. I don't have to know a game to enjoy it," Draco said quickly, "Just remind me should the opportunity ever arise to take you to a Quidditch Match."

"Quidditch?" Jasper asked with a frown.

"The best sport in the entire world."

"No, that's baseball."

"Quidditch."

"Baseball."

"Quidditch."

"Baseball."

It was ten minutes into the meal that Draco brought up his plans for the weekend, trying to sound as casual about it as possible. He'd told them that he and Bella had been invited to a baseball game but of course he'd neglected to mention just who was playing in this baseball game.

"So is it alright for me to go?" he asked softly.

"I don't see why not," Narcissa said with a big smile, "Will you be playing?"

"If I can get a grip on the rules," Draco chuckled softly, smiling outwardly. But inside he was filled with guilt. His loving parents just wanted to protect him from evil and danger and here he was lying to them. "I'm being picked up by one of the kids in school at about mid-day."

"Lucius and I are going shopping in the morning," Narcissa said calmly, "So I'm afraid we won't be there to see you off."

"That's all right," Draco smiled softly at her.

So come the morning his parents went out and Draco dressed in warm clothes, after all it was a thunderstorm brewing out there not a slight breeze. He was frowning at himself in the mirror when he sat Jasper climb in through the window at a remarkably human pace.

"My parents are out," Draco said softly, having said goodbye to the shoppers earlier, "But you probably already know that." Jasper nodded.

"I brought you this," Jasper held out a jacket and obediently Draco allowed Jasper to slip the light shirt on over the black jacket Draco had chosen earlier. "This is mine from the first game I played with the Cullens two years after Alice and I arrived. I want you to wear it."

"Thank you," Draco said softly, leaving the shirt un-buttoned and turning to face Jasper, "How do I look?"

"Almost perfect," Jasper answered.

"Almost?" Draco asked with a frown. Jasper grinned and pulled something from his pocket, unrolling what turned out to be one of the ugliest looking hats Draco had seen in a long while. And it matched the shirts. "What is that?"

"It's a baseball cap," Jasper answered.

"And you want me to wear that?" Draco asked.

"Don't you want to wear it?" Jasper asked, looking a little bit hurt.

"…all right," Draco gave in with only a little noise of protest. Jasper beamed at him and placed the hat on Draco's head. The rather vain wizard spun around to checking how he looked, adjusting the hat until it sat right and he actually had to admit it did look nice. It went with the top. "Is this yours too?"

"Yes," Jasper nodded, slipping his arms around Draco and resting his head on his shoulder, "We should get going. The game will be starting soon."

Jasper and Draco sat in each other's arms in the back of the jeep as Edward collected Bella from her house, putting another hat on her head. Draco sniggered at that, wondering if was a vampire dating trick. Edward drove like a madman and Draco spent the entire journey holding on to Jasper for dear life. They arrived at a huge field in no time and as Jasper helped Draco out the young wizard saw the other members of his family, dressed for the game in clothes from different decades getting ready. Esme hurried over to Bella, putting her arm around her.

"Glad you're here. We need an umpire," she said to the American girl.

"She thinks we cheat," Emmett said as Esme led Bella in front of him, heading to where Rosalie and Carlisle were playing with the metal bat. Jasper held Draco's hand and pulled him along behind his mother.

"I know you cheat. Call them as you see them, Bella," Esme then turned to Draco as Bella mumbled an 'ok', "Jasper tells us you don't know baseball at all."

"Sorry, no," Draco smiled sadly.

"That's alright dear. It's been a few years since we played for an audience. It'll make a nice change. Just don't get frightened," Esme said reassuringly. Draco frowned at Jasper,

"Why does her telling me not to get frightened frighten me?" he asked, causing Jasper to laugh and kiss his cheek.

"All she means is don't worry about us," he said, "Whatever happens in the game, we'll be fine. Enjoy the game." Jasper picked up another one of the bats and starting throwing it around with practised ease. Draco found himself staring at the way Jasper's muscles showed through the tight t-shirt he was wearing.

A loud crash of thunder made Bella and Draco jumped but only one other person reacted, Alice on the pitchers mound. And all she said was,

"It's time."

Draco's eyes widened at the force little Alice put behind the ball and gasped at the crack that sounded when Rosalie hit the ball with the bat, sending it shooting into the trees like a bullet fired from a gun.

"Ok, now I see why you need the thunder," Bella mumbled.

"Yeah," Draco said in agreement, sounding completely stunned.

"That's gotta be a home run, right?" Bella asked as her boyfriend shot off after the ball. Draco's eyebrows raised as Edward showed just how fast he could actually run. Esme shook her head, smiling,

"Edward's very fast."

Draco could only just see Edward by then and jumped when the ball came flying out of the trees. Esme caught it far too easily for a woman wearing only woollen mittens. But then again she was invincible. Carlisle was cheering Rosalie on as she ran around the huge diamond that the bases made, not quite as fast as Edward but still extremely fast. Rosalie dropped and slid the last few feet, destroying the grass under her feet as she tried to beat Esme.

"You're out," Bella said a little unwillingly.

"Out! Woo!" Emmett cheered from where he was ready to catch.

"He does realise his girlfriend is deadly right?" Draco asked Jasper softly. Rosalie, who had been glaring at Bella now turned that glare on Emmett.

"Babe, come on. It's just a game."

"Oh, now he does," Draco smiled softly, watching as Bella and Rosalie rose almost perfectly in time, Rosalie's glare back on Bella's pink face. Eventually she stalked past the human girl, glaring at Draco briefly.

"Nice kitty," Carlisle said softly to the aggravated blond as he stepped up for his turn. Draco now realised that it was couples against each other. Rosalie and Carlisle were on one team, Emmett and Esme were on the other. He wondered if that had been planned or not.

Carlisle's hit didn't quite have the same power behind it that Rosalie did but his was high. Draco and Bella watched with wide, fearful eyes and both Edward and Emmett jumped to catch it and ended up crashing into each other. It sounded like two boulders had hit each other!

"Edward…" Bella gasped.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine," Draco said softly.

"That's why Esme told you not to be frightened," Jasper said softly to Draco as he walked up for his turn with the bat. As he waited to Alice to get ready he threw the bat around carelessly again.

Jasper hit the ball with an almighty crack but Draco wasn't looking at either the bat or the ball, he was looking at the incredibly sexy look on Jasper's face. Draco felt his face flush at the thought of seeing that look in a different situation, maybe one that took place in his bedroom…

"Oh crap," Draco muttered, "Think of something else, think of something else, Dumbledore and McGonagall…ew!" Well that had done it, his self-control was back and no longer was he thinking about he and Jasper having…

"My monkey man," Rosalie's proud statement saved Draco from getting hot and bothered again. Frowning he turned to Bella,

"What did she mean?" he asked.

"Did you miss it?" Bella asked in surprise.

"Er, yeah, distracted," Draco mumbled.

"Emmett caught the ball by running up that tree," Bella explained.

"Oh."

Rosalie was up to bat again and this time she managed to create enough of a breeze to blow Esme's bouncy hair into her face. Draco was watching the ball and so was as startled as everyone else when Alice suddenly shouted,

"Stop!"

The vampires all turned to look where she was now looking, Edward frowning, obviously hearing something. Draco moved closer to Bella as something began to emerge from the fog, three very threatening looking people walking far too fast to be normal. The Cullens hurried back to Draco and Bella, Jasper pulling his boyfriend into his arms.

"They were leaving. Then they heard us," Alice explained.

"Who?" Draco asked.

"Let's go," Edward said to Bella, sounding very worried.

"It's too late," Carlisle said logically. Jasper growled and held Draco tighter.

"Get your hair down," Edward ordered Bella who, confused, obeyed.

"Like that'll help. I can smell her from across the field," Rosalie scoffed. The Cullens walked a few paces to wards the fast approaching strangers, lining up close together. Jasper still hadn't let go of Draco and Edward pulled Bella to his side as well, both of the vampires hoping to mask their human scents with their own.

"I'm sorry," Jasper said quietly, "I'm so sorry."

"What? Why…?" Draco asked confused.

"Did you bring your stick?" Jasper asked.

"My wand? Of course," Draco said softly.

"Get it out but keep it hidden. And don't say anything," Jasper said, his voice filled with worry. Draco pulled his wand out of the magically created pocket in his trousers and held it behind Jasper's back as he rest his hand there.

The three strangers stopped a few feet in front of them Cullens. Draco noticed their red eyes at once and completely froze. These were real vampires! The people eating kind! The kind that he had been afraid of all his life! He started to panic but then Jasper's presence calmed him. Jasper would protect him until he could defend himself with his wand.

"I believe this belong to you," the dark skinned one said, holding up the baseball Rosalie had just hit into the trees. In the blink of an eye he'd thrown it at Carlisle, the blond leader catching it easily.

"Thank you," Carlisle said with a small nod.

"I am Laurent," the dark skinned vampire introduced himself in a very cultured voice, "And this is Victoria and James." He gestured to his two companions. The woman reminded Draco of his Aunt Bellatrix with her wild hair only Victoria's was red. She also had the same wild and slightly insane way about her. The man, James, simply looked deadly. Like the vampires the Dark Lord had had on his side…

"I'm Carlisle. This is my family," Carlisle was amazingly calm.

"Hello," Laurent said with a smile.

"I'm afraid your hunting activities have caused something of a mess for us," Carlisle spoke in the same friendly tone, being careful not to make it an accusation.

"Our apologies. We didn't realize the territory had been claimed," Laurent said, actually sounding a little apologetic.

"Yes, well, we maintain a permanent residence nearby," Carlisle explained.

"Really? Well, we won't be a problem anymore. We were just passing through," Laurent said.

"The humans were tracking us, but we led them east. You should be safe," Victoria's voice made Draco want to shudder but he held himself still, she even spoke like Bellatrix had.

"Excellent," Carlisle smiled, a little tightly.

"So, could you use three more players?" Laurent asked with a smile. Everyone looked to Carlisle, waiting for him to make a decision. "Oh come on. Just one game." Carlisle made his decision quickly,

"Sure. Why not? A few of us were leaving. You could take their place. We'll bat first," he said it all in one breath, the Cullens all knowing just who it was that would be leaving. Edward, Bella, Jasper and Draco. Carlisle threw the ball at Laurent but it was Victoria who snatched it out of the air.

"I'm the one with the wicked curveball," she smiled at them, tilting her head and looking thoroughly insane. Surprisingly it was Jasper who answered her, acting calm and confident despite the death grip he had on the boy in his arms,

"Well, I think we can handle that."

"Oh!" Laurent grinned, looking excited now.

"We shall see," Victoria told them calmly before she and Laurent turned away, slapping their hands together as they walked a few paces away. James however remained, still silent, staring at Bella. Her wide eyed look had obviously intrigued him. Finally he turned to go but as the four tried to make their escape a gust of wind blew Bella's long hair about and covered the vampires in her scent. James sniffed loudly, turning back to them,

"You brought a snack."

He made for Bella and the Cullens all pushed in front of her to defend her, Esme pushing Bella behind her. Jasper pulled Draco behind him as well. Victoria's eyes fell on them and she hissed loudly,

"Two snacks," she almost sang. Draco was surprised that it was Rosalie that got right in her face, growling threateningly.

"Humans?" Laurent asked in shock.

"They are with us," Carlisle said tightly at the front of the group, "I think it best if you leave."

"I can see the game is over. We'll go now," Laurent said softly, beginning to back away from the growling family, "James, Victoria." It seemed like an age but eventually the other two broke their stances and followed him, putting their arms about each other.

"Get Bella and Draco out of here. Go."

Jasper and Edward didn't need telling twice. Edward rushed Bella over the jeep but Jasper couldn't get Draco to move, he was still frozen, staring at the retreating vampires. Their red eyes were burned into his memory.

"Come on Draco," Jasper said, not wanting to hurt him by forcing him to move. Out of the corner of his eyes Jasper saw two things, one was everyone else hurriedly packing up the game and the other was the jeep leaving at a dangerous speed. "Edward," Jasper growled, "Bella isn't the only one at risk."

"You'll have to carry him," Alice said as she stood at Jasper's side.

"Come on Draco," Jasper said softly, picking Draco up bridal style in his arms, "I'll look after you Draco. I promise."

"I know," Draco whispered, holding his wand to his chest and trusting Jasper to hold him. Jasper smiled stiffly down at Draco before taking off at a dangerously fast run through the darkening woods, heading for the house.

A/N So, what do you think? More to come of course.
