"Crucio!" He shouted.

This was the fourth time today.

I was never getting used to this pain. No matter what. If being hit with it a thousand times a day last year wasn't enough, I don't know what is.

"You have yet to kill the girl. You did exactly what I told you not to do!" My father spat at me.

He spelled me onto my stomach, and started slashing my back.

My screams filled the room, I felt like this pain was never going to end. The floor was covered in my blood.

He turned me back over on my back which hurt more than anything. My face ached with bruises and gashes.

He hit my body with another Crucio and I went through the same thing over and over.

"I'd like to meet her." He smiled at my squirming body in pain, covered in blood. I groaned and winced, holding back tears.

"Never!" I groaned still under the painful spell.

"Shall I visit the girl myself?" He suggested. "Don't you dare!" I shouted. I never wanted them to meet. No way I could do that to her. She doesn't need to be involved.

"You do not need to involve her. What her parents did to you isn't her fault!" I wheezed trying to catch my breath when he lifted the spell.

"Oh but they'd be in such grief! Such grief if they saw her lifeless body!" He fantasized.

"They don't even care about her! It's pointless!" I groaned.

"How can you be so sure, my dear son?" How did he have the audacity to call me his dear son?! His son?! You don't hurt your son like this! Fucking bastard!

"I just—am!" I breathed out heavily. I was still laying on the floor, trying to catch my breath. It was merely impossible after being tortured all day.

"Name your sources." He said.

"Her!" I glared at him. "Ahh." He smiled. "How adorable." He laughed. "I'll kill your fucking snake." I muttered, returning a laugh.

I heard stupid Nagini hiss at me from that table he was sitting at, at the Malfoy Manor. "Very well. I will need time to think about what I will have you do. You are free to leave." He dismissed me.

Gladly, fuckface.

I was in the bedroom I had given, staring at my scarred back in the mirror.

He had slashed all over my back with deep cuts. It would take so long for them to heal, even forever. I couldn't move without feeling the gut wrenching pain of it.

I had just gotten out of the shower, washing away all the blood that was on my body. It's like I had bathed in it beforehand.

I healed the bruises on my face, leaving only the cut on the bridge of my nose and on the side of my face.

I felt powerless. I couldn't do anything to stop him. My only option was to let him meet her before he could himself.

I couldn't tell her any of this, not right now. Not on break, when I see her tonight. God, I can't wait to see her tonight.

I've missed her every single day of every single second in this stupid manor filled with death eaters. I dread being away from her. I want to be with her at all times so I can protect her and show her off. But I can't.
