Insatiable Desires ~Mattheo Riddle~ Book 2

Chapter 10

Mattheo's POV

I walked back towards the Manor, angry and frustrated, with Leo beside me. 

'There is no way he could have got away that quickly' He muttered and I grunted in response. 

There was no sign of anything in the grounds, nothing that could help us find my daughter. Robert had some how vanished with her. 

'What do we do now?' He asked but I stayed silent for a while. 

What I needed to do was find Clarissa and apologise. I was harsh and cruel to her when she needed me. And I needed her. We had to do this together to get our daughter back. 

'I'm going to speak to Clarissa' I finally answered him. 

'Yeh that's probably a good idea' He agreed, nodding his head. 

'Tell your father I want him and the Carrow twins at the ministry. Tell him I want Thicknesse to give the order for all Auror's to search everywhere. If he doesn't comply, I will personally pay him a visit.' 

'OK,' Leo obliged, 'What about the rest of the death eaters in the hall?'

'I'll speak to them soon' 

I shoved my hands in my pocket and took out my cigarette packet.  Offering one to Leo and taking one myself, we followed the path round the corner of the Manor. 

I lit the cigarette, enjoying the feeling of the nicotine calming my anger slightly. 

'Is that my brother?' Leo motioned towards the car diving away from the entrance to the Manor. 

'Where the fuck is he going?' I frowned, watching the cars rear lights getting further away. 

'I'll deal with my father then I will deal with him' Leo sighed walking through the doors with me just behind him. We went our separate ways. He headed for the hall and I headed to the drawing room, hoping Clarissa was where I had left her. 

When I walked in, Pansy and Darcy stood up quickly. 

'Any news?' Pansy asked, a slight sign of hope in her eyes. I shook my head sadly and she say back down in her seat, looking down at her fingers. 

'I was hoping Clarissa would be in here' I told them and looked from one to the other. 

'She said she was going to get changed then go help look round the grounds.' Darcy said. 'If you didn't see her out there then she is probably still in your room.' 

I nodded and walked back out. Darcy followed me and I looked at her questionably. 

'Going to make some tea, Clary might need it' She smiled softly and headed for the kitchen.

Every where was quiet making it easy for me to hear Leo's voice from behind the closed doors. He was doing exactly what I had told him to, telling his father the instructions I had given. The door opened and he walked back out, followed by Draco and and Blaise. 

'They just apperated there and will keep me updated' He informed me and I nodded, starting up the stairs. 

'MATTHEO!' Darcy screamed. I turned quickly, shocked by the sudden outburst.

Exchanging looks with the boys, I jumped back down and ran to the kitchen.

As soon as we entered, my eyes went to unconscious body on the floor, near the table. He was laying in a pool of his own blood. Draco and Blaise rushed past me. Kneeling down, Blaise checked his pulse. 

'He's still breathing' He muttered and started pulling him to his feet with Draco helping. We all looked at the gash in his hand and I realised that it wasn't life threatening. But someone had sort out to hurt him.
