In the Shadows (Mattheo Riddle)

chapter 47

I felt my whole body shut down.

"what the fuck do you mean he's calling me?!" My panic covered my face

"Amelia breathe" he tried to calm me down

"is he calling you too?!" But he shook his head no. "Why! Why just me?!"

He was pacing the room in front of me. Theo's words once again flashed through my head. I have to answer. But what could he possibly want from me?

"You need to put on your clothes, something nice, not that dress" he was stumbling over his own words "quick Amelia, now" he guided me back to my room.

"Mattheo what the fuck is going on?" My voice was shaky.

"i don't fucking know!" He screamed back to me.

I backed up.

"Im sorry. I just. I don't know what he wants from you." He placed his hands on his head.

I got dressed as quick as I could, a million thoughts running through my mind. I look at Mattheo as if I wanted an answer from him, but I knew he couldn't give me one.

"What do I do now?" I asked him.

"Go to apperate, you can in the castle now, it'll know where to bring you." He walked over, placing a kiss on my forehead. "Be careful, please. Come back the second your done." He was horrible at hiding fear.

"I will I promise." I said as I backed away from him.

I closed my eyes and focused on the irritable feeling to apperate, and I did. The quickest I've ever done it.

When I opened my eyes, I was standing outside of, my manor? Interesting.

I opened the front door, and was met by our house elf, I missed Dobby, he was kind and he liked me. This one is nasty.

It stuck its finger into the typical meeting room and grunted at me.

I held my breath, and walked towards the room. When I opened the door, the long table that was usually filled with people looked quite empty. It was just him, my mother, my father to his right, and then Snape and my aunt to his left.

"Come forward girl" he shouted, pointing at a chair across from him. My mother couldn't even look me in the eye.

I took a seat in the chair, adjusted my self and looked forward at him. I wasn't scared of him, not even a bit. I made a point to never look in my fathers direction.

"Your face, healed rather quick. Minus the scar of course." He looked deep into my eyes.

"Make up, my lord." I scoffed.

"Ah" he tilted his head back.

What the fuck was this? Chit chat?

"i assume your wondering why I called you here, at this time of night Amelia." Him saying my name sent shivers down my spine.

"i am curious" I tried my best not to sound nervous.

"You see, I've called on my son numerous times, to no answer. Therefore his task, must go to you." He snarled.

Mattheo was ignoring him?

"This is a very big first task I must admit, but for my son I know you will do it." He continued. "You see, you must Kill Dumbledore." He said with a viscous smile. "i know you will go through with this."

My stomach sunk. I was supposed to kill the headmaster? How? Why?

"It was between you and your brother. Your father found it fitting that you be the one. To prove your self."

Of fucking course he did.

"i don't think she can do it!" My aunt chuckled.

"Shut it." I spat at her. In no ways did I want to do this at all, but I didn't need her doubting me.

"The plan is all arranged. Bellatrix and a few other death eaters will met you, Severus will find you first, tomorrow night, to witness you and only you do this. Are you understanding me? You must do this. Or you will die" his eyes, so lifeless, so empty. Nothing like Mattheos.

I couldn't speak. I just nodded. I knew my words would do nothing, but get me killed quicker.

"You may go, I'm sure my son is lost without you." He pointed at the door.

On my way out I shot a look back at my father, I hope my eyes convicted the message I was hoping for.

I stood outside the manor. A single tear running down my cheek. I wonder who I had become. I knew there was no way out of this task. I had to do it, or I would die. Trust me, I thought about just letting him kill me, but I knew if I did, a whole other way would arise.

I closed my eyes and apperated back into my room. Or I tried too, I ended up close enough.

I opened my door to Mattheo, Theo, Regulus and Enzo waiting on my bed for me.
