In the Shadows (Mattheo Riddle)

chapter 38

He finally allowed my arm free, and let out a large bout of laughter, "Our newest death eater! Miss Amelia Malfoy!"

The whole room started clapping, all I heard was my fathers. I was in disbelief. I couldn't believe I was just branded against my knowledge. How could I be so stupid?!

"Go my girl, I'm sure my son will fill you in on all your new requirements." He said, dismissing me from his presence.

I turned quickly and left the room. I left my chest start to sink in. I couldn't breath anymore. From the pain I just endured and now this. I couldn't take it.

I ran straight up to my room, I would've apperated right back to Hogwarts, but I wasn't too good at it and I had no brain for concentration at this moment.

I slammed the door behind me, and ran to my bed. I curled up and just let it all out.

My mother bursted in and ran to hold me, "Im so sorry my sweet girl, I am so sorry" she repeated, stroking my hair.

I couldn't get any thing out. All that filled the room was the sound of me gasping for air.

"You need to be strong now Amelia, your whole life is different now." She whispered. I just stared at her.

"I love him, mum" I mumbled out, in between catching my breath.

"I know my sweet girl, only love makes you this stupid" she pulled me into a hug. "Your father will be occupied for the rest of the evening, let me take you back, get you away from him."

This was by far the nicest thing my mother has ever said to me, which as sad as it was, was the least she could do for me.

I grabbed her arm, and she brought me to my room door. She motioned her finger over her lips for me to keep quite, planted a kiss on my forehead and was gone.

I heard mumblings from inside.

"How the fuck don't you know where she is! She said she'd be with you!" I heard Mattheo shouting.

"She hasn't been here for the last 3 hours! I got back and the room was empty!" Pansy screamed back.

"Calm the fuck down!" It was Theo.

"please everyone stop bloody screaming it isn't helping!" Even Enzo was there.

I took a deep breath, and slowly opened my door. My whole body felt weak, and I had realized I had not wiped any blood off of my face.

Everyone stopped their screaming at once and faced me. Gasps filled the room, the boys placing their hands over their mouths. I even seen tears automatically forming in Pansy's eyes. I guess I looked as bad as I thought I did.

"Oh no, Fuck Amelia" Mathheo gasped, running towards me.
