Secrets (Part I)

**TW: Violence & minor sexual activity**

Without Further Ado, I present: SECRETS (PART I)

"Sky, we have to talk about something important. Your sister's life depends on it."

I take a seat on the sofa, my body trembling still knowing that Cedric died. No we weren't close by any means, but this wasn't part of the plan. He wasn't supposed to die. I could only imagine the pain Tom is going through with him being the one who had to kill him. My nerves are shot, not just the emotional pain that is overtaking my body, but the mental pain of knowing an innocent person's life has been taken because of Harry Potter.

"What about Pansy? Do you have any information on her?"

The two sit across from me, seeing how lifeless I seem. They know that no matter what they say, there's nothing they can do for me. Nothing can take away the pain. Narcissa looks at me with not only sadness but worrisome in her eyes, "We need to tell you about someone. Your mum asked us to tell you about her."

"Who is it?" I ask as my legs still tremble. Who do they have to tell me about?

Narcissa takes a moment before looking back at me, "Your Aunt Onyx. Your mum's sister."

Instantly my body stops trembling, my eyes swiftly look up at her, "My mum has a sister? I thought -- she was an only child. Why haven't I ever met her?"

"Honey, there's many reasons why you have never met her. Your mum -- she did it for the safety of you and your sister. Onyx, she. Well, she's not the best person in the world."

"You know her?!" I exclaim, pondering on why no one has ever told me about me having an aunt. She can't be that bad.

Bellatrix came and sat next to me, resting her hand on my shoulder. "We knew her back in school. She was a year younger than your mum. She was always trying to make your mum's life miserable. When your mum and dad met, she became jealous and tried to steal him from your mum."

A moment of silence surrounds the room.

"And when your mum found out she was pregnant with you and Pansy, she became so deranged that she attempted to kill your mum. She gave your mum just below a lethal dose of a sleeping draught. Your dad came in just before she could finish pouring it in your mum's mouth while she was sleeping. The next few months of the pregnancy took a toll not only on your mum, but you and your sister too. There was a chance -- that neither one of you would survive, but mine and Bella's mum, Druella, was a powerful healer, who was able to help your mum's strength."

I sit in silence, shocked that not only do I have an aunt, but she tried to murder my mum, me, and Pansy. How could someone want to kill their own sibling, all because a guy didn't want them? It didn't make sense, there has to be more to the story than what they are telling me. All I knew is that I needed to find my mum. I have so many questions for her. What did Onyx have to do with Pansy and why did her life depend on it?

All the possible thoughts run through my head, some of them not making any sense. I needed answers right then. I needed sleep. When in reality my brain couldn't handle the information that was being given to me; I just wanted to be in Draco's arms, his arms holding me tightly. I wanted him.

No, I didn't want him, I need him.

"What does she have to do with Pansy's disappearance?"

Bellatrix stands up and whispers into Narcissa's ear. I can't decipher what she's saying, but then again, my brain isn't comprehending a lot right now.
