Chapter 2

Note: this takes place a couple years later, during the goblet of fire

*also, to my one dear reader, I write this for you know :) enjoy!

You sat alone in a dark castle. Well, you and Kiki sat alone in a dark castle. Looking around you, at the dark brick walls and soft green lighting, it felt like home. Not in the way you felt warm and cozy, just in the way this was all you've ever known. Probably all you ever will. The emptiness that everyone seemed to confuse with freedoms.

When your mind gets a little to adjusted to what you're looking at, you picture Hogwarts. That big and beautiful school, filled with opportunity. You could never go, but if only.

"y/n!" you heard your mother call. Jolting your head backwards, even Kiki jumped up in fear. the screams of Bellatrix Lestrange were always a fright. You hoisted your self up and prepared for the worst. "coming mummy!" You shook of the emotion, sleeves dangling in the air, and walked up the long staircase.  Your head turned cautiously at every angle, this was a very large mansion and being a new resident here means anything could be at any corner. You made it to the top into the dining room. It was a big room, with a large dining table in the center. The mansion had a way of making even the bright afternoon sun become a dull silver reflection off the brick. 

Bellatrix was never  warm person, though she imitated the emotion well from time to time. This was one of those times. She had a smirk across her face that made you suspicious of the words that would come out of her mouth. Though she said nothing, she nodded her head towards the table, inviting you to have a seat. You swiftly walked toward the chair, shifting into a subtle skip as you got closer.

"for the past sixteen years, deary, you have joined me in my duties in serving the dark lord."

Her head began to twist and turn from side to side as she moved closer, a smile in her face.

"It's time, deary, that you joined us. soon it will be too late."

Your mouth fell open, ever so slightly, in surprise. Speechless, you lifted your left forearm on your lap and cover it with your right, gazing at the blank sheet that was soon to be the mark.

"...when?" She straightened her spine and stepped back, her smile fell to the floor.

"tonight."

She turned and walked away, up another staircase.

You couldn't move from your chair for what felt like hours, but what was really only minutes. In a moment of a reluctant reluctant realization, you swiftly shot up from your chair and glided down the stairs back toward your make-shift bedroom. Your head was darting back and forth, panicked at the mess of clothes. there was too much. you took a deep breath gazing at the wall ahead...holding it...and then swiftly plopping to the ground to calmly grab the essentials. Starting of course, with Kiki.

You had no clue as to what time it was, but everyone was upstairs and the longer you waited to leave the closer it came to nightfall. The sun was setting, and before the night was over you would be trapped in a life you were not ready for. A life you may never be ready for. You kept your broom in a small closet, separate from the rest. Your broom may not have been a secret but it was best to treat it as though it was. There is little respect for a death eater who has yet to prove herself. Regardless of who your mother is.

Kiki was secure, nested in your clothes, books, gadgets and a small ration of food. Which was of course, just a few apple. As long as your wand was in your jacket, water was a given. You left through a window on the main floor, far enough from the bedrooms. The doors make too much noise. You ran out, hunched over into the courtyard around the side of the manor. There was a large field of open grass, so you stayed low and ran. Once in the woods, you hopped on your broom and flew as far as you could, toward the moon.
