Love The Way You Lie (rewritten)

Chapter one: The kidnapping of Beatrix Potter

Twelve years ago: Beatrix's old nursery, Potter Manor
A four year old Beatrix Iolanthe Potter sat in her old nursery cradling her younger brother as she sang him to sleep. If young Harry wasn't able to doze off in his mom, or dad's arms, they turned to Sirius or Remus and if that failed, they turned to their oldest daughter who always somehow managed to get her little brother to sleep. As she rocked him, she sang a lullaby which Lily used to sing to her when she was younger.

The young girl was unaware of her parents and uncle's watching her as she sang. "How the bloody Merlin is she that good at four years old?!" Sirius exclaimed making his friends laugh quietly.

"Yeah, I still stand by my past statement." Sirius voiced as he looked in Aubrielle's direction. "Now I know why Kev always makes you the lead in our musicals." Betty mutters which makes her sister laugh. "It's a talent, Betsy. It's a talent..." Aubrielle told the younger blonde who only gave a chuckle in response. "Wow, Elle. To be able to sing like that at four years old, is wow!" Veronica complements her friends as she gives her a smile. They then turn back to the screen.

Later that same evening as Beatrix fell into a slumber, she was unaware that after that night, she'd never see her parents and uncle's again. As she slept on, a silvery coloured mist warped around her and levitated her off of her bed. The person responsible for the mist wore a black full length cloak so they weren't able to see who it was. As they caught a sleeping Beatrix, they disappeared from the Potter Manor and apperated away to Colorado, to a small town called Riverdale.

"Did you ever find out who kidnapped me?" Aubrielle asked her biological parents who shook their heads. "No, sweetie. We were never able to find who took you away from us. That type of magic is something that not even Merlin or Lady Morgana were able to weld. In fact, not even the most powerful Wiccan were ever able to do that kind of magic." Lily told Aubrielle who gave a nod in her mother's direction, a wistful smile painted on her face.

The person left Aubrielle on the doorstep of the Cooper house, one of the founding family's of the small seemingly innocent town. Alice Cooper was awake at that time and answered the door as she'd heard the doorbell ringing. When she opened it, she was surprised to see a four year old girl looking rather skittish as she looked around. "Hi sweetie. Is everything okay? Why don't you come inside?" Alice asked the girl, who nods her head and walks into the house, shivering a little from the cold air outside. Once Alice had guided a young Beatrix to the couch in the lounge, she left to go and make some tea in the kitchen. When she came back, she saw Beatrix spaced out, seemingly lost in thought.

"At least she was kind enough to let you into her house when the person left you on the doorstep." Sirius said as Aubrielle nodded. "Yeah, Alice and Polly were the people I aspired to be growing up with the Coopers in Riverdale." Aubrielle told her uncle before turning back to the screen.

"Why don't you tell me how you got here, sweetie?" Alice asked Beatrix who nodded and took a sip of the tea that Alice had set infront of her. "I don't know how I got here. One moment I was asleep in my room, the next I was standing at your door." Beatrix says to Alice, her forehead creasing into an adorable little frown. "Well then, little one. Do you remember what your name is?" Alice asked as young Beatrix shook her head. "No miss, I think it was something that started with the letter 'B' but I don't remember anything else." Alice only pulled the girl into a hug as she saw the unshed tears beginning to well up in her eyes.

"That person sure was extremely powerful. I mean to erase that much memory does take up a lot of power. I'm rather surprised that whoever did that to you wasn't drained of their magic." Remus said, his voice soft yet everyone was able to hear it.

Hey guys, I know it's short but the following chapters will be longer, I promise. I just thought I'd share a little bit of information with you guys regarding Cameron/Ophiuchus and Aubrielle/Beatrix. The two are in a relationship but not many know that they're a couple. The person who took Beatrix away from the Potter Manor, may be revealed in the future. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the chapter from wherever in the world you are reading from. Love always, your author, Amber Wolf. 😘
