Chapter 18

"STOP" he yells as I scream. Pain. so much pain. I scream. More pain by the second. I cry out. It hurts. So bad. I scream. It gets worse. Pain. too much pain. "STOP. PLEASE ''Mattheo yells. The pain stops. The tears roll down my cheeks. I breathe a shaky breath. "I'll do it," Mattheo says. "No," I groan. He turns to look at me. "Don't do it." I barely manage a whisper. Mattheo crouches down next to me, and wipes my tears. "Don't do it. I'm okay." I try to smile. He leans down, "I'm going to get you out of this. I promise" he whispers in my ear. He stands up. "What do I need to do?" "We need your blood." Aliana answers him. "And you couldn't just sneak into my dorm and take it in the middle of the night?" he asks, looking annoyed. Aliana glares at him. Bellatrix takes a deep breath. "We have the rest of the ingredients ready. All we need is your blood." Bellatrix says. " And then we can go?" Mattheo asks. " Sure But you know that once your fath-'' Mattheo glares at her. "Once he is back he will seek you out."   "and we'll cross that bridge when we get there," Mattheo replies. "Let's get this over with," Mattheo says. "Alliana?" Bellatrix asks. "Knife" Bellatrix demands. Alliana hands her a knife, with a long sharp blade. Mattheo rolls his sleeve up, and Bellatrix puts the blade of the knife to his arm. He grunts as the knife cuts his skin. Aliana collects his blood in a bowl and disappears into the hallway. "There" Bellatrix says once she is done. " Great. We will be leaving now ''Mattheo walks over to me. "We?" Bellatrix asks. He turns around to look at her. "Yes, we."  he says, getting angry. " Oh, no." she said. " I think there has been a misunderstanding here" " a what?" Mattheo asks, annoyed. "I said you could go, not her." "what?" he asks. "It's been far too long since I've had anyone to torture." "You've already hurt her, find somebody else okay?" he says, frustrated. "I'm sorry but that just isn't going to work." Bellatrix answers. "We're leaving. yes, we. both of us, ''Mattheo says, walking towards me. He crouches down and slowly helps me until I'm in a sitting position."Do you trust me?" he whispers so Bellatrix doesn't hear. I barely manage a nod. "She's not going anywhere" Bellatrix says, much closer to us than she was before. Mattcheo slightly shifts, for better access to his backup wand in his pocket. I guess they also took his wand away when he showed up. "Or what?" He challenges her. Mattheo quickly grabs his wand from his pocket, but Bellatrix is quicker. While Mattheo and Bellatrix are distracted, someone comes up from behind me, covers my mouth, and pulls me up so that I'm standing up. They hold a knife to my throat. Bellatrix laughs when she sees what had come about while mattheo's back was turned. "Stop or I will" Aliana says, putting pressure on my skin with the knife. Mattheo holds his hands up in surrender and slowly puts his wand down on the ground. Trust him. Mattheo isn't stupid. "Don't do this," he says. "Please" she presses harder on the knife. I whimper. Mattheo discreetly pulls a knife out of the sleeve of his jacket, and cuts into his hand. The pressure on the knife lessens, and with the same hand that had the knife in it, Mattheo points to the door, then puts up one finger, two fingers, then three. I react fast, wrapping my hands around Aliana's arm, leaning over, and pulling her over my head, her body hitting the ground. Hard. I trip over my feet when trying to take a step, and Mattheo catches me in his arms before I fall. The last thing I see before we apparate is Bellatrix and Voldemort in the doorway of the living room. With a flash of bright light, we are back in my dorm, the same way we left it.
