Decisions

"You have to decide her fate." a muffled voice said.

His voice lowly replied to the other, "I will. You just have to let me keep trying to get information out of her. Do you not want to get all the blackmail on him or not?"

"Fine. Just hurry up and figure it out. You have a month until I decide to choose her fate..." A pause that felt like forever, "and your fate for failing."

He walked away and up the old, creaky stairs. 

Bam.

A fist to the wall, leaving a hole and bloody knuckles. A slight knock on the door before opening, she sat up from the cot.

Her brunette hair was thrown up in a bun, dark circles under her eyes; although she had been sleeping, it wasn't always a peaceful sleep. Nightmares, nights of waking up screaming and crying, feeling alone, and wanting to end it all. She looked as if she hadn't eaten in weeks, but her nerves made it hard to keep food down.

His shadow appeared as he walked through the doorway; she could tell something was wrong.

Patting the bed for him to sit, but instead he shut the door and slid down against the wall.

"Theo, what's wrong?"

His eyes looked up at her, the worry in her eyes, "I have to make a choice on your fate..."

"My fate?"

"Yeah, how I want to... kill you." His voice cracked at even saying that to her. He didn't want to think of killing her. "I have a month to figure it out."

Her head shifted to the side, "why a month?

He didn't know how to tell her that they wanted her for information and then kill her. Mattheo may have hated her initially and assaulted her, regretting doing it to her. He knew he had a past of sexual assault at other schools, but this was different.

If anyone knew Mattheo before he came to Hogwarts, they knew that he is a horrible person considering everything he had ever done to people. Especially girls. Sam was the first girl that he didn't hurt, psychically that is. He had hurt her emotionally and mentally and for some reason, she still cared and wanted to be with him.

"All they want you, well Sky, for is information on your father. They want to know everything they can use against him to send him back to Azkaban in a cell underneath the ocean. Then after retaining the information, they want me to kill you."

Pansy's body became limp from the words that came out of his mouth. She couldn't believe what he said, but then again, he did kidnap her. "Are you going to kill me? Just so I can go ahead and prepare a letter of my final goodbyes."

Is he really going to kill me if he did find anything out about father?

What could I possibly know about him that could help them send him back to Azkaban?

Wait– They think I'm Sky. What does Sky know about our father that could send him back?

Has my sister been a part of this the whole time and wanted this to happen to me? No, Sky would never do something to harm me. She loves me and regardless of the issues we had when she began dating Draco, she wouldn't hurt me.

I need to get out of here. I can't let them kill me.

Mattheo wouldn't actually hurt me, would he? No– we may have had issues but he wouldn't. I- I don't think he would at least.

Should I try to make a run for it?

No, I can't do that. Not only will I get killed, but Mattheo will too. I can't let that happen to him; he's been decent to me the time I have been here. Minus a few instances.
