Control [Drarry]

Chapter One

Dry leafs crunch as I take bigger, quicker strides. Panting, panicked about what monster I heard behind me. Getting closer and closer. My lungs are burning, my head is banging, my blood is boiling and my heart is racing. My body can't take this much longer. I started to slow down and proceeded to walk. It was silent, only a faint breeze could be heard. I sighed, relieved that whatever danger was present had now passed.

My back was instantly slammed into the rough bark of a tree and pressure was on my shoulders. I looked up to see a black hooded figure directly in my face. Its cold breath and piercing deep red eyes just inches from my face.

"W-w-who a-are you?" I stuttered wanting answers but all I received was a low growl. It closed its eyes and inhaled my scent. I couldn't stop shaking and shivering. I was terrified. It suddenly lunged forward and grasped my neck.

Two needles stab my neck and I let out a blood-curdling scream, tears instantly streaming down my face. I could feel my whole body go limp as I get weaker and weaker. My lungs are wheezing, my head is throbbing, my blood is draining and my heart is slowing. As I was slowly losing consciousness my veins felt funny as if something new was flowing in them. Before I could conjure another thought everything went black.

(Next morning)

I wake with confusion, my eyes flutter open, and the sun rays burn my eyes. I can't tell where I am, everything looks fuzzy, and all over my body, I feel a dull ache as if I have been squeezed like a sponge emptied of blood. Suddenly a sharp stabbing pain engulfed my body emanating from my neck. I hesitate before lifting my hand and gently placing it onto the burning place.

I stumble all the way home, constantly having to take breaks every five minutes because I can't get over the feeling of passing out.

I stumble as I enter the entrance of the manor. Taking a deep breath, I push open the huge wooden door and enter the even bigger, grander entrance hall. I dawdle up the seemingly endless staircase and down the stretch of corridors. Until I finally make it to my room.

I swing the door open, making no effort to stop it from hitting the wall, I force my aching body towards my bed whilst simultaneously taking off my already dirty, ripped, destroyed clothes. Being left in only my boxers I collapse on my green sheeted king-sized bed and my exhausted body gave out and instantly went to sleep.

(Time skip)

I woke up to the smell of food coming from downstairs. I quickly change so that I appear appropriate to my family. I chose to wear my formal dark green robes to please my father and I walk through the labyrinth of a house and found myself in the dining room.

Despite sleeping until lunch I still feel drained of all energy. I don't know how to describe it other than feeling drained. I find my place at the end of the grand dark oak table. Opposite father and my mother to his right. I see before me piles of the finest meats and the freshest of vegetables. All my favourites. But for some reason, I don't feel the desire to have any of it. My plate remains empty throughout the entire meal. Only taking a few sips of water to try and wake me.

"Draco, honey is everything alright you haven't touched your food." She said in a calming tone.

"I'm fine thank you mother" My voice was monotone. I don't want to give anything away to them, especially with father here. I need to find out what happened to me. Why am I so drained of energy? What happened last night? Who or what attacked me?

"Father, may I be excused? I wish to go to the library." I received a slight nod and took that as a sign to leave.

I walk to the library there is almost every book that you could think of in here so I'm bound to find something useful. I swing open the giant dark oak double doors and the squeaking of the hinges echoes throughout the house. The chandelier hanging in the centre of the room lighting up the extensive amount of books. This is going to take longer than I thought.
