i hit the cold dark wood of a house that i knew all too well. i had been here many times, with my mother.

i was at Malfoy Manor.

i stood up and brushed some ash off of my shirt. i looked up to be met with a confused looking Narcissa and a smirking Bellatrix.

"what is she doing here?" Narcissa asks

"she's our weapon." Bellatrix says

"what do you mean?" Narcissa asks

"the Dark Lord has been yearning to get his hands on this precious child," Bellatrix runs her hand over my cheek "for a while now. this can make us shine in the Lord's eyes, sissy."

"i suppose. but why does the Dark Lord want her so badly?" Narcissa asks

Bellatrix's smile grew. she walked towards me and threw my left arm sleeve up.

Narcissa gasped and Bellatrix laughed

"see? its a Dark Mark. but not a real one of course." Bellatrix said

Naricissa ran a cold finger over my carving and i yanked my arm away from her

"NO!" Bellatrix yelled slapping me across the face

Bellatrix yanked my arm back towards them and they proceeded to examine it

"what is going on here?" a deep voice came from the entrance to the room

i held my breath, hoping it wasn't Voldemort.

luckily, it wasn't.

Lucius, bruised and beaten, waltzed into the room.

"we have our prize." Bellatrix smiles

"Vanessa." he says looking confused

"that's right. we need to call the Dark Lord." Bellatrix said lifting her sleeve

"no," Lucius stopped Bellatrix "not now, we shall wait until my son arrives. put her in the dungeon until then."

Bellatrix laughs with glee as she grabs my arm and shoves me forward.

had i just been kidnapped?

we come upon a door that is made of dark oak wood, and has black lining. Bellatrix places her hand upon the surface of the door and it opens automatically.

the door opens revealing a staircase, descending down into darkness.

"go." Bellatrix says shoving me forward

but Bellatrix shoved me a little too hard, causing me to loose my footing and fall down. i rolled all the way down the flight of stairs and landing with a thud on the bottom.

i was in a lot of pain and the only thing i could hear was Bellatrix's laughter and the slamming of the cellar door.

i stood up and tried to examine the room. i had no wand, because they took it from me.

the room was empty with literally nothing in it but a small chair. i limped over to the chair and sat down, only to wince in pain. i think i may have bruised a rib.

i could feel myself growing more and more tired as i sat there. visions of what happened tonight ran through my mind. do you think Harry knows I'm gone? will he try to save me?

why does Voldemort want me so badly? i don't have anything other than a carved in, fake, Dark Mark.

my eyelids grew heavier and i found myself fast asleep in the chair within minutes.
