In the Shadows (Mattheo Riddle)

chapter 48

I could see all of them doing a full body scan for new bruises, cuts or gashes.

"Im not hurt." I mumbled and walked alright to my bathroom to change. When I walked out they were all still staring at me.

"Can I ask whats going on?" I looked at them confused.

"Mattheo came and got us when you got called" Theo started. I shot a look at Mattheo. "Were all the same Amelia, we need to know your task." He sternly said.

I knew about Theo and regulus, but Enzo? I knew his father was bad, I just didn't know he had that much power over him. And I shot him a look to let him know I was shocked.

"It happen last year" he rolled his eyes.

"So? What is it?" Regulus ordered.

I could tell they were all nervous, they should be. I took a deep breath.

"I have to kill Dumbledore." I said in one breath.

I watched as all their faces dropped. Enzo stood up, and walked towards the window throwing his hands behind his head. Theo automatically dropped his head. Mattheo punched my wall. And regulus, well he just stood there.

"Tomorrow night" I added

"absolutely the fuck not" Mattheo shouted.

"You can't. No fucking way." Enzo paced the room now.

Theo just shook his head.

"I have to. Its him or me. I don't think anyone wants me to die." I tried to make light. Didn't work.

"There has to be another way" Mattheo shook his head, he had his thinking face on. "I can't believe he would ask this of you."

"he said he called on you, and you didn't answer. So your task became mine." I starred at the floor.

"You mother fucker!" Theo shouted pushing mattheo across the room.

"Amelia no, I di-" he was panting now.

"I know. You didn't know." I walked away.

"You couldn't fucking answer! Now look! She has to do it!" Theo started with him again.

The bickering started.

"Shut it!" I screamed. They all looked at me. "Fighting about it is useless. I have to do this."

"fuck you mattheo" Theo spat as he left the room slamming the door.

"Amelia, how the fuck are you supposed to do that?" Regulus questioned.

"Ill be met tomorrow night, by others and Ill know its time. They'll take me to him." I placed my hands on my head.

There was now a hole in my wall from Mattheos frustration.

The others cleared the room, and left it to us.

"It was between my brother and I. My father picked me." I whispered into my hands. "Its not your fault. Its his."

"Amelia you can't do this." He put his hand on my shoulder.

"Oh so die yeah?" I looked at him "I have no fucking choice. I would die, but I know what would happen if I did." 

"You will not die! I will do it. You can't do it." He pleaded.

"Your father made it very clear. If I don't do it, I go against our vow, I automatically die." I threw my self back onto my pillow.

At the beginning of term, I was the brightest witch of my year. Middle of term, and now tomorrow ill be a murder.
