Additional Scene #4 : Silver And Cold

(A/N:MATURE CONTENT WARNING:This programme—er, sorry, chapter—contains material which is not suitable for children under the age of 15. To be specific, there is sensuality—that is to say, sex. Nothing TOO explicit, though. You have been warned.)

Kat and Khense stepped through the barrier at Platform Nine-And-Three-Quarters, sad to be leaving Hogwarts for the summer, but looking forward to seeing their families again. Khense looked around, not seeing his parents anywhere in the train station. A little worried, he followed Kat up to her parents (whom she greeted with the biggest of tackle-hugs).

"Are my parents here?" Khense asked William Phillips, politely.

William looked down at him. "No, they're in Egypt. They should be back tomorrow. They asked us if you could stay with Katrina for the night."

"Well, that saves me the trouble of asking…" Khense muttered. "Well, is it all right if…?"

"I don't see any reason why not…" Lynn Phillips responded. At a glare from her husband, she added. "Oh, come off it, William, they're not going to do anything they shouldn't… right?" She said, glancing at her daughter, who grinned and nodded. "See?"

William sighed. "Well, come on then…"

About an hour later, Khense found himself waiting in Kat's room while she satisfied her bloodlust. Wadjyt, Kat's cobra Familiar, was hissing softly on the desk, coiled up against Khense's own feline Familiar, Isis.

Kat walked into the room, wiping off the thin trail of blood that remained at the corner of her mouth.

"That was nice of your father…" Khense muttered as she sat down next to him.

"Don't expect it to happen again," Kat responded with a laugh. Her mood seemed to change instantly as she moved closer to him. "Beautiful Khense… why do you love me?"

"Oh… I believe there are several reasons…" Khense said. He leaned in and kissed her soundly on the lips. Unconsciously, it seemed, his hand slipped towards the sleeve of her shirt. He'd moved it an inch when she flinched and broke away from him. "I'm sorry…" He muttered. "I shouldn't've…"

When she kissed him again, quite passionately this time, her hands moved to the buttons of his own, loose-fitting, forest-green shirt. It was he who broke away this time.

"Uhm… Kat? Your parents will kill us if…"

She pressed a finger to his lips. "Sshhh, not a word… don't worry about it…" She whispered as she undid the buttons of his shirt, revealing a lean and tanned torso. She leaned in and kissed him again.

Gods, she actually wants too…! Khense thought as she removed his shirt and went for his jeans. He moved to take off her shirt as well, and she didn't flinch away this time, instead welcoming it. He pulled off her skirt, revealing the entirety of her alabaster skin. He pushed her down onto the bed as she kissed the nape of his neck, her lips lingering for just a moment…

Khense took in a deep breath as he waited for the sensation of her fangs piercing his skin. It never came. He exhaled slowly, somewhat relieved. He was not sure he wanted to know what being bitten by a vampire was like.

"Khense… you should know… if—mmm…"

Khense silenced her with a kiss as he pushed into her. He didn't care what the consequences were, just as long as she was here with him, tonight…

Lost as they were in their passionate love-making, neither noticed William Phillips standing outside Kat's shut and locked bedroom door, a deep scowl on his pale face.

A few hours later, Kat had fallen asleep. Khense lay sprawled on his back beside her, gently stroking her face, and staring up at the fluttering Fairy Lights. Eventually, he drifted off to sleep.

Khense awoke to find his head in pain. Wondering what could possibly have caused it, he glanced over at Kat, who was still sound asleep.

And then the pain in his head exploded. He sat up suddenly, yelling, and clutching at his forehead, trying, to no avail, to dull his nerves.

Kat awoke seconds later. "Khense!" She said sounding panicked.

Khense let out another yell as the searing pain reached a crescendo. Kat caught him before he fell out of the bed and onto the floor.

As abruptly as the pain had come, a voice resounded in his head.

I knew this would happen… my poor Khense… it's too painful for him…

His breathing shallow, Khense turned to Kat, staring directly into her vivid eyes. "K—Kat… what… What's happening to me…!" He tried to steady his uneven breathing. Kat kissed him once again, and the pain receded slowly. She broke away, a tear in her eye.

"I… I tried to warn you…" She whispered. "The Bond… it's always painful to humans when it forms…"

"What…?" Something struck Khense. "Oh, gods… the Mating Rules… I… I completely forgot…" His breathing a little steadier now, Khense looked at Kat. "So… This means…"

"…We're together until one of us dies."

End.

Author's Note 2: BWAHAHAHAHA! Left ya hanging! I must apologize for the nature of this particular chapter, but I needed to include it. I'm not sure whether it's entirely CRUCIAL to the plot, but it does move things along a little. I believe the additional scenes ARE in chronological order. Also, I apologize if Snape was OOC in the 3rd Additional Scene. The title for the 4th Additional Scene was borrowed from a song by AFT of the same name.

Well, that's all for "Blood & Darkness"! Join us again, same batty time, same batty channel for "The Sixth Year From Hell"! Ja mata ne!
