the sink hole of loving you //mattheo riddle

Chapter 15

I open my eyes, and look around. I'm in a cell. I see an empty cell across the walkway from me. I stand up, and my vision blurs for a second, before going back to normal. I walk to the front of my cell, and look around. There is a row of cells across the hall from me. What am I doing here? I sit back down on my cot, where I must've been sleeping, and rack my brain for anything relevant that would explain what I'm doing here. All I can remember was my fight with mattheo. I don't know if you could necessarily call it a fight, when I'd been on the losing team since before I knew there were teams. It was too good to be true. We were too good. Of course there had to be something getting in the way. Tears prick the sides of my eyes, and I wipe them away. Now is not the time to cry about mattheo. I need to figure out what I'm doing in this random cell. I try to remember what happened after mattheo left, and come up with nothing. Have I been here before? Is the door unlocked? That probably should've been my first thought when I woke up. I walk over and try to open the cell door. Locked. I figured. What's the point in putting me in a cell if it's left unlocked? All of a sudden I hear a voice from upstairs. All the blood drains from my face as I realize who it is. I stumble back onto my cot. I remember. I remember Bellatrix and Draco showing up in my room. I thought I was dreaming. She told me I wished I was. "You'll be able to hear your screams from a mile away". That's what Draco said to me. I shudder, remembering the way he touched my face. I turn my head towards the sound of keys jangling. Lucius Malfoy emerges from the stairwell, and walks towards my cell. I stand up. "Eagar, are we?" he says while unlocking my cell. I slowly walk out, and he grabs my arm, gripping it much harder than necessary. He pulls me along, farther and farther away from my cell, and up the stairs. The stairs lead us to a walkway that opens up to a huge room that looks sorta like a dining room, without a table. Bellatrix is standing in the middle of the room, with Draco, and who I can only assume to be Draco's mother standing next to him. "Ahh" Bellatrix says, spotting us entering the room. "Thank you for joining us." she laughs. "Now. Should we finally get this party started?" she asks, looking around. She laughs harder. " I think so," Bellatrix walks towards us. Lucius lets go of my arm, and joins his family over by the fireplace. I slowly walk forward. "We gotta get a good scream outta her when we call mattheo." she says. I perk up at the sound of Mattheo's name, and turn to look at her. "Mattheo?" I ask. "Yes dear," she answers. "Mattheo will also be joining us for our party," she laughs again. "Well, I think it would be appropriate to get a few practice screams out of the way wouldn't you?" She looks around the room. "Yes. that is a fantastic idea mother" a girl says, emerging from the fireplace. She has paler skin, and black hair. She looks scarily similar mattheo. "Thank you Aliana." Bellatrix says. "Wh-who is that?" I ask. "Oh!" Bellatrix says. "That is your little boyfriend's sister"my eyes widen. "Twin sister" the girl, aliana, mattheo's supposed twin corrects. I look at the girl. It makes sense. They look the exact same. I just wonder why he never told me. "Well, now that you guys have met, let's get to the screaming shall we?" Bellatrix says, interrupting my thoughts of Mattheo and his twin sister. All of a sudden, I feel a searing pain in my head. I bend over and grab my head, pushing on my temples. I scream through my teeth. "Stop going easy on her mother," Aliana says. The pain gets worse, and begins to spread to my neck, and arms, down to my stomach, through my legs, all the way down to my toes. I double over in pain, and put my arms out to catch myself on the ground. My arms give out the second they hit the ground, and my head smacks the floor. I scream louder, and bite my lip, till I taste blood. "Stop" I scream, tears rolling down my face. The pain increases, and I roll onto my back, screaming in pain. As abruptly as it started the pain stops. I relax on the ground, breathing heavily. "It's time to give Theo a call," Bellatrix says, walking away from me. I turn my head to see what's going on. I suck in a break from the pain of moving my head. I can barely make out the outline of Bellatrix, Aliana and the Malfoys through the tears in my eyes. As abruptly as it had started and ended, the pain starts up again, worse than before. I scream out in pain, my throat beginning to hurt, like the rest of my body. The pain stops seconds later, and I relax again. I try to move my hand to wipe the tears that are rolling down my face, but grimace in pain, and stop trying to move. I hear the muffled voices start to get louder, and strain to hear what they were saying. "What do we do now?" a voice asks. "We wait," another voice I recognize as Bellatrix answers. "Can i?" the first voice asks, gesturing to my limp body on the ground. "Be my guest," Bellatrix says, walking away. Aliana leans over me, "you better hope your boyfriend shows up". The pain starts again.
