She sat on the balcony deep in thought. Watching the dementors drift past peacefully. Yawning softly she rose to her feet, leaning on the railing and tilts her head, humming in annoyance. She just couldn't fall asleep.

The crescent moon was up and highlighting her face warmly. She sighed gently and whistled, Addressing the Dementor that approached to serve her. "I can't sleep. Can you pet me until I fall asleep?" I flicked my wrist to the balcony doors and they opened up wide.

The Dementors hands gripped the railing and it pushes itself towards the door and into the room, its wrapping its hand around the bed post.

"Thank you." She muttered before jumping in bed. It's not uncommon for her to get the Dementors to pet her when sleep deprived. It's the only way she can fall asleep. She pulled the covers up and closed her eyes. The Dementor leaned in closer and it's bony nimble fingers ran through her hair gently.

A low growl turns into a purr from her throat. and she rather quickly drifted asleep from the petting and the Dementor quickly drifted out the balcony door and closed them before returning to the sky.

She sat up in shock. A feeling of a warm liquid running down her face, the crimson liquid seeping over her lip and into her mouth. The metallic taste coating her taste buds. Blood. The young girl gathered her surroundings and tried to remember what happened. All that went through her brain was screaming. 

She looked around. Her mousy brown hair hung down her head. The room she was in was dark. The overwhelming feeling of pain and suffering sat in the air, weighing on her shoulders and dragging her emotionally down. 

She sighed and rose to her feet, lifting her hands up to brush her matted hair out of her face, But they were quickly and forcefully stopped, a metallic clank emanating from whatever stopped her. Her eyes trailed down to see charmed shackles tightly clamp around her thin wrists and clamp into the floor below her. Only then does she realise what is below her, It looks to be a sacrificial circle. Whoever left her here is planning on sacrificing her. To what though.

Her vision was fuzzy in one eye and she was confused to why. She looked around hoping to find a way out. But instead the light above flicks on, blinding her temporarily. Once sight returned. She saw an unknown man ahead of her. His figure seems to shift into more unknown people until it finished and landed on Remus. 

"Awh Kitty scared?" He growled out, a smug smile tugging on his lips as he grabbed ahold of a vial. "Albus was wrong about you. Your nothing but a monster and I finally have a chance to put you to rest." She gulped and tried to back off. But the restraints stop her.

"I don't know why Albus cares about you. I don't know why they all care about a danger." He clicked his tongue and approached, flicking the cork of the vial off, Grabbing her throat roughly and lifting her head up so she looks at him. "Look at me while I send you back to wherever you came from you corrupted freak."

He growled lowly and poured the liquid into her mouth, pressing his thumb against her throat to force her to swallow it. Her eyes grew wide as she gagged and fell to her knees once he let go. Her body began to shake and burn from the inside out. Her screams echoed out. Filling the room and bouncing out the walls. 

"Pandora!" 

"Pandora!" A voice dragged her out as she was shook desperately. Her eyes flicked open and she sat up, very quickly wiping her tears away. "Pandora are you alright? You were screaming" 

Her eyes travelled up to the old man's eyes through his crescent moon glasses. His eyes calmed her down. "Sorry." Her eyes travelled to the other people in the room. "I'm sorry I disturbed everyone."

Minerva came around and sat down next to her, bringing her into a hug. "Hey, It's okay Pandora. What happened?" Her hand rubbed circles on her back and wiped away the tears. "Please tell us, We can't help if we don't know what happened"

She nodded quietly and took a deep breath. "I think it's better if I showed you instead." She took Minerva's hand and held her hand out to Albus, Which he obliged to take. Her eyes grew and her slits for pupils vanished, leaving her entire eyes red/grey. Albus' and Minerva's eyes turned white as their minds left their body and followed Pandora through her torturous nightmare.
