Shadows Know Me

Chapter Nine

"I hope you accept my offer, my father would also love if you joined us for dinner." Mattheo said with the same smirk he had that night.

"It's really sweet of you but-"

"I wasn't asking. Put on the dress we are leaving in 15 minutes." He hissed. He wouldn't leave the room so I made him turn around as I got changed. Surprised he didn't peak.

I quickly scrambled to put on at least a little bit of makeup while Mattheo comes behind me and placed the necklace he had gotten around my neck. He grabbed my hand then apparated us to his Manor. It was way colder than the Malfoy Manor. No light at all but dim candles.

"Sit here darling. while I get us some drinks. My father should be here shortly along with dinner." He informed while I was seated in some sort of lounge area rather than a dining room.

"Maelyn Estelle. You look just like your mother. Shame I never hear from her anymore." Lord Voldemort hissed.

"What does this have to do with me?" I begged.

"I assume you've received my messages. Your family has to pay the price for your betrayal. I'll give you a few simple tasks. You only answer to me as your lord." He snarled with his tongue hissing like his snake on his side.

"Fine I'll do what you want just don't kill me!" I begged even more.

"Did you not listen to me? It's 'my lord'. I'll simply kill you if– you fail the tasks given." He coldly warned.

"Yes, my lord." I answer as Mattheo gets back.

"What did I miss father?" Mattheo asked placing a few glasses on the table with some expensive champagne.

"She shall bare the mark. You will keep a close eye on this one. Then she'll be yours." Voldemort snarled standing up and getting too close to my space.

Lifting my chin with his wand he grabs my arm and all I could feel was the worst burning sensation there is. I let out a scream as he in graves his mark on my delicate skin. Tears form as Mattheo tightly grips my mouth shut to silence the screams to come out my mouth.

As he finished he had left the room and it was just me and Mattheo. For a while he just went through many glasses of champagne. I take little sips from my one glass.

"I've grown to like you Mae. As much as you have Draco wrapped around your little finger... you're now mine. Father says I get what I want and that is you." He said setting his glass down and making his way towards me. Standing above me he twirls the long strands of my hair and pulls me from the chair.

"This will be one of your tasks princess. You're mine now." He whispered in my ear then kissed my neck.

My whole body freezes. Unable to move. I just look in his eyes as he presses his lips into mine. I don't kiss back but I have no choice but to pretend. He takes me to his room and lays me on his bed. Nothing to light the room but one candle. The scent of strong cologne burns my nose as much as my skin still burned from the mark made.

Still frozen his hands grace upon my chest. Internal screams unable to escape my mouth. As much as I was angry at Draco I wish he could help. No one could help or know. Feeling his hands unclasp my bra and he starts moving his hand down to my lower stomach down to my thighs. Feeling every little inch of my body. Tears are unable to escape my eyes. He forces my hand into his making me feel every inch of his body too.

Is this what my mother wanted me to avoid? Is this really a task? Is this what I have to do? I have no urge to fight back as he pins me to the bed. A lot more rough than my moments with Draco. More forceful. More painful.

I have never done anything past the simple things. A virgin. That's what I am. If this is how I lose it, if this is how it has to be...

I could feel the slow burning pain as he's in me. The pressure being too much. Every inch of my body burning for many reasons.

"Oh darling, nice and tight. Does this feel good?" He questioned expecting an answer.

"Yes um..." I hesitate to say anything else.

"Sir. You can call me sir." He hissed while going deeper feeling the pain spread through my body.

"Yes.. um sir." I cry.

"Good girl." He groaned as he leaves hand imprints in my skin.

After he had finished I laid on the bed unable to move. Feeling the need to cry but again I'm frozen. I don't know what hurts worse. My body aching and exhausted. Mattheo cleaned himself up and escorted me to the living area. He grabbed the floo powder on the table next to the fire place and took me back to the common room.

"Remember darling, you're mine." He whispers before heading back to his dorm with the biggest grin on his face.

I sit on the couch for a while still frozen. I cover up the mark quickly, lifting my sleeves back on my shoulders. I then try to find the strength to get up.

"Haven't seen you in a while." Eves voice appears from behind.

"Oh yeah. I've been quite busy studying." I lied.

"Hopefully you've met some new people! I love it here. I don't see the reason why our parents wouldn't let us here in the first place." Eve went on.

"Yeah, it's quite wonderful. I like it better than Ilvermony." I reply trying to conceal every burning feeling in my body.

"I'm going to head to bed. Some time I think we should catch up. Hermione talks about you all the time so feel free to join us!" Eve smiles and walks away.

I can't even tell my own best friend what's happened. I have to burry all the things. The list of things. It goes on too far.

I'm the showers I can't even feel the burning hot water on my skin. I've grown immune to the feeling. I throw my towel on and make way to my room where I stare in the mirror. Still unable to clear my head or even pick up my mothers diaries. Not even a textbook. I just sit in silence on my bed. Shadows cast along my wall of my body. I feel like only my shadows know who I am.
