The Secret Girl {ON HOLD}

Chapter 8

Once again, sorry for the long wait but there is a lot of shit going on in my life right now, I will try to update more but there are a lot of distractions. And I don't know what happened with the publish then un publish thing.
-----------------------------------------

After walking for about half an hour I see this old broken down house. I walk up to the door and right as I'm about to knock the door swings open revealing a man in his mid forties. He has cold eyes, mean features and a receding grey hairline.

"Who the hell are you and what are you doing at my house?"

"I'm Anastasia, you adopted me."

"Oh you're the brat that I have to babysit. Follow me."

I hesitate for a moment before reluctantly trailing behind him. He leads me into the basement and stops in front of a door. He opens it and pushes me inside before quickly slamming and locking it, great. I can already tell my time here will be hell. I take a few moments to take in my surroundings, there is an old wooden desk, a single bed with black sheets and a little window at the top of the wall with a piece of black construction paper covering it I lay down on the bed and all of a sudden all of my clothes appear on the bed beside me. I change out of my robes and into my pajamas and crawl under the covers.

~Next Day~

I wake up to someone shaking me. I open my eyes to find a woman with graying hair and dead eyes, looks like she's in her mid thirties standing over my bed with a terrified expression.

"Get up, don't ask questions, just follow me, and be quiet." she orders in a hushed tone. I nod quickly getting dressed and following silently. She takes me upstairs and out the door. She walks to what I assume is her car and we get in. She starts the car and we sped off down the long dirt road.

"Hi, I'm Nancy. I'm your new mom. I'm sorry for the wake up, but we had to get out of the house before my husband wakes up. I'm so sorry that you had to come here. You see my husband Frank is....well umm.....he is....umm....abusive. He has been since our son, Alex died. I keep taking kids in, but he kills them, beats them to death and then blames it on me because he thinks that I'm trying to replace Alex. I will protect you better than I did the others. I just want you to be warned about his behavior, especially towards you. Do you have any questions?"

"Ya. Don't take this the wrong way but if this is such an issue then why am I here?"

"Well I used to be good friends with your mom and I remember her telling Snape that if it becomes to dangerous for you to remain at Hogwarts that she wanted me to take you no matter what. She also made me agree. At the time I still had Alex and Frank was a loving husband. A couples months later we lost touch so I couldn't tell them. How is Lily?"

"She's dead. She died when I was 3."

"I'm sorry to hear that. If you don't mind my asking, how?"

"You know about Hogwarts and everything right."

"Ya."

"Well Voldemort killed her and tried to kill me and Harry."

"Harry? Who is that?"

"My half brother, Harry Potter."

"Oh, did James and Lily get together as well?"

"Yes. They got married, my father was just a fuck buddy. At least to her. Do you happen to know who me god parents are?"

"The Malfoys. Why?"

"Just wondering. Where are we going?"

"We are going to get you trained."

"Trained?"

"Yup. You are getting trained in every fighting style so that if need be, you can fight back and stand up to Frank. Unfortunately you can't use magic, so you will need this." We pull up to the studio and get out of the car.
