A New Feeling - Draco Malfoy Fanfic

P R O M I S E

Draco POV

My body falls to the ground as another strong leg comes into contact with my ribs. I feel myself bruise but I try and fight off the pain. A scream escapes my lips when I feel my fathers cane plunges the side of my forehead. I bring my trembling hand up and feel the blood oozing out of my temple.

"Weak." Father spat as another kick attacks my already bruised body. "You really thought you could kill me." He laughed. "You're pathetic." He said while pointing his cane at my face.

The frigid air penetrated my skin, chilling my blood, sinking into the marrow of my bones like wet concrete. Every inch of my body throbbing in pain, my limbs were weak and fragile like a pane of glass. Weeks I've been here. Weeks of being tortured and abused. I came here to kill him, but once I got here, he was already ready. I should have known. I should have thought it out more.

The only thing that soothes my mind is thinking of her. Knowing that he is here and she is there calms me. I can't have him near her,she plans to do something to her. I still don't know what it is but I know when it comes to him, it's dangerous.

"You will see her again." He smirked while leaning back smugly on an oak chair.

My brows furrowed. "What." I choked out, still in pain.

"It's only a matter of time until she finds you." He starts. "It will be easy for her, I've put down the protection spell around the manor so she could simply just walk in." He smirked.

Anger rushed through my body, through my blood, veins and skin. I struggled against the metal chains in an attempt to lunge at him but they were too strong. A sinister laugh escaped his lips as he watched me fight against the iron. "You brought this on yourself son. If you just stayed away from the filthy mudblood, everything would be fine." He spat.

"Don't call her that." I shouted through my lungs. His face instantly hardened.

"Look at you." He stood up from his spitting position. "You're weak! Caring for someone like her!" He raised his voice. "I'm embarrassed to call you my son." He spat through gritted teeth as he turned to walk out the door, leaving me by myself in this dreadful room.

Feelings mutual mate.

A beautiful face. Well defined, with a sharp jaw and angular cheekbones. The complexion of his skin going well with his ocean-like eyes. His body hovered over mine, his hand cupping my warm face making me close my eyes at his touch.

"Open you're eyes love." His deep voice spoke as his fingers traced along my cheekbone. My eyes fluttered open and I saw that signature smirk of his. That smirk that drove me insane since the first day I met him, but that smirk that I loved more than anything.

My dark blue eyes looked as if an ocean had been encased inside of small glass marbles. "Please don't leave me." I whispered, my voice trembling.

Then the smooth spheres appeared to be cracked; the ocean had started to leak, little water droplets streamed down my rosy cheeks.

"I'm right here Austin." He spoke softly as his thumb slowly wiped away my salty tears. His face leaned in close with mine and as soon as his lips touched mine my mind jolted awake.

Waking up is no longer the pleasure it was. There is a fleeting moment when I am whole again but it evaporates faster than summer rain off the burnt earth. I wake as if it's an emergency, as if sleeping had become a dangerous thing. My heart beats fast and there is a buzzing in my brain. Once I look around I see Cora sleeping peacefully in her bed. A dreamed about him. Just a dream. It wasn't real. My heart sinks and my chest tightens with grief.
