This chapter is about what happened to Cassiopeia after she left Hogwarts

Her brother that she had no clue she had came to pick her up that night she left. The night she realized she was the Dark Lords daughter. That was the night she had pleaded on her knees to the Headmaster to not let her go. She knew what was to come was no good what could ever be good in being a Riddle ? From that night she knew she would never be the same but she promised herself that she wouldn't change. She broke that promise the moment she left, she had turned exactly like her father ; cruel and heartless.

Cold

They had apperated at the Riddle Manor which was nothing but cold and dark. No comfort would be found within its thick grey walls. It was big maybe to big which made it feel colder. No matter how many people would be in there it would never warm up. Only the sound of the strong wind hitting the building and plants could be heard outside. Inside the only sound came from her brothers shoes and hers and some house elves.

" My dear sister welcome home" Her brother which name she learned was Leo Atlas. He had cold eyes that could freeze someone to death just by one glance. No signs of warmth can be seen through his blue stone cold eyes. He was tall maybe around 6'3 or 6'4 while she was 5'6 so he towered over her quite a bit which didn't help her nerves.

" I don't want to be here i want to go back to Hogwarts , that's my home" Her voice was soft nothing compared to his. Her words were chopped from the tears rising in her eyes that would spill any second. This was not her home her house was the Emerys estate or Hogwarts.

Amelia and Jacob loved their little girl with everything they could. They gave her everything her heart and mind desired but not only did they give her material items but also all their love. They made sure that she knew they loved her not only with money and expensive gifts but with the parental affection that every kids should have.

Hogwarts was her second home a place where she could be free and be with some of the people she loved and understood her. A place with some of the most important people in her life and it was being ripped from her.

She knew she wouldn't go back to any of those two places. She was stuck in this place that was now her home but didn't feel like it. She thought that it might be a horrible nightmare and she was waiting for Hermione to wake her up and take her to class. She was trying to grasp on any hope but she knew none of that would ever happen. She was stuck there and she knew this would only be the beginning.

Darkness within her

" Father is returning tonight Cass be prepared and make him proud " Her brother informed her while they ate. She knew her father was coming back but not this soon. Scared was an understatement she was mortified. She knew that he would be even more strict on her than her brother was. For the past year all she would do is study and mostly black magic. She would spend time brewing potions which she wasn't very good at , at Hogwarts but she now could make any potion perfectly. Another thing she would do was read and study, she knew about every subject you would ask her. Being stuck in a house without being able to leave had some benefits . She had given up on leaving she tried once but the manor was surrounded by enchantments which only left her a burn on her left eyebrow bone.

Dark magic was her specialty she was an amazing dueler. At first she had trouble, Leo was very harsh on her. She took and couple of Cruciatus curses and sectumsempras which left her a couple of scars on her chest but weren't noticeable to the naked eye. She was a quick learner and soon was able be faster than Leo. She was proud of her self of course she but that was until she had to perform unforgivable curses. What shocked her more was she was able to preform them the few first tries. She had cried even if she had practiced them on rats she felt like a monster, like her father. She felt darkness slowly drown her soul into the deep sea and she couldn't get back to shore she only sunk more. There would be a day where she would hit the bottom with no way up.

split soul

" Hello my dear daughter " She heard from behind her making her get instant chills. The little hairs on her neck shot up and didn't seem they were going down any moment. She faced him eye to eye he was hideous. He was truly what people called him - a monster from the inside and outside. She gulped down nervous before speaking back " Evening father" without breaking her voice she spoke to him. He eyed her almost testing her or waiting for her to break but she remains composed.

" Your brother here has informed me what an excellent learner you are. A master at potions, Astronomy and most importantly the dark arts. Is that correct Cassiopeia" He questioned her still circling around her. Waiting for any type of mess up he waited and waited for some sign of fear.

" Yes father that is correct " She stated while looking at her brother who had a smirk on his face. He gave her a very subtle nod. She then looked at her father who seemed please she hasn't broke. She knew that was what he was waiting for any type of mistake a single flinch and it was over. She had learned to block him out her mind with many painful occlumency lessons she had also learned how to use legilimency.

" Very well let's see it then - Wormtail ! " He yelled at one of his servants who came in not even seconds later " Y-Yes my lord" The guy stuttered while bowing down to his master. " Bring in our special quest" He said with a smirk that meant no good and Cassiopeia knew it. Wormtail didn't say anything else but hurried off to get the special guest.

He came back with a guy who looked severely beaten up. Death would be a gift to him to get him out his misery. He looked like a walking corps.

" This my daughter is a traitor to the Dark Lord he tried to go the Ministry about my return. I give you the gift to eliminate him for once." She stood there paralyzed she never tried the killing curse on anything but rats and that still traumatized her. She knew she couldn't do it and he probably did too. This was what he was waiting for the moment for her to mess up.

Her hand shook viciously that there was no way in hiding the fact that she was indeed scared. She knew she would be doing that man a favor in ending him
but she didn't have it in her to take a life. She promised herself that she wouldn't turn like him but she knew he would make her.

" I see you aren't as able to kill a person. What a weak pathetic excuse for a daughter" He roared in her face. She had given up on trying to be strong. Her walls that were built high all got hit by a wrecking ball and anyone would be able to see right through her like crystal clear water.

" I didn't make a weak daughter. Just like your mother you're a coward who is a good for nothing but i need you. With you this weak we won't get anywhere but nothing i can't fix and i'll do that right now" He stood in front of her wand pointing straight to her. That was it she thought this was the end of everything she worked for. He was going to kill her. She blurred out everything and any sound around her. She was paralyzed no word or sound came from her the only thing she felt were tears that finally spilled. She saw him chuckle but couldn't hear.

A bright purple light hit her straight in the chest causing her to fall to her knees as he kept the curse on her she felt like her soul and heart were being split in half.

That's when she realized he had taken her feelings and humanity from her. She no longer felt love or compassion for anyone. She felt absolutely nothing she was a walking shell. That moment her promise broke she was not the same girl anymore she promised herself she would always be. She was her fathers and brothers replica. From that moment on she was another one of her fathers monsters. She was able to preform the killing curse without hesitation. She would able to tear a person's would piece by piece while they begged for mercy but she would not show any form of sympathy.

She was now the Dark Princess.
