Cloaked In Black

Chapter 7

{TW: Child abuse in flashbacks}

{Later After Training}

I crash-landed on my bed and I stretched out in it. Draco was sitting at my desk. I looked over at the time and frowned. "Sadly, our day has come to an end. I have to get ready for a dinner party," I say, huffing a sarcastic laugh.

"Fair enough Natalie, I'll see you tomorrow for ballet practice," Draco says while embracing me

"Be careful Dray" I say tightening my grip around his waist

"You know I will be Darling, Until tomorrow" That was the last thing he said before poof he was gone walking to my bathroom. I strip down to see the scars from when I was younger...

{Flashback}

"YOU WORTHLESS LITTLE GIRL!" My mom shouts at me while grabbing a knife and pinning me up against the wall

"YOU ARE SO STUPID WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE" She shouts as she digs the knife into the side of my

"STUPID LITTLE GIRL WITH STUPID LITTLE DREAMS NOW WHAT ARE YOUR DREAMS!" My mother shouts

"My Dreams are just Dreams.." I say with tears rolling down my face

"AGAIN YOU LITTLE SHIT," Mom says

"My Dreams are just Dreams," I say louder

"AGAIN" As she digs the blade in and drags down my thigh,

"MY DREAM ARE JUST DREAMS" I scream at her baring my teeth

"Good, now clean yourself up. I don't want your blood all over my white tile." She says, letting me go. I start to apply pressure as I hobble up the stairs...

The rest of the night I was up giving myself stitches and sobbing...I'm pretty sure I didn't sleep the rest of the week... I was thirteen when this happened...

{End of Flashback}

Tears were streaming down my cheeks, but I wiped them away... Hopping in the shower I quickly washed my hair and body then got out. After getting out I wrapped a towel around my body and went to my room to look for a dress. Finding a short lacey black number that had a little cleavage, I threw it on, then found a pair of black heels. Pulling the shoes on, I went to my jewelry box and grabbed my silver hoops, a silver snake necklace, and a variety of different rings and I put all of it on. Walking back to my bathroom, I dried my hair and straightened it. Letting my hair fall to a pretty shaggy look, I started to apply my makeup... Doing a simple nude eyeshadow with a small wing... After applying the rest of my makeup, I put on ruby-red lipstick. Grabbing my Louis Vuitton black purse, I walked out of my bedroom and down the stairs, my heels clicking down the stairs. I heard a knock at the front door as I passed it. My parents hadn't gotten home yet so I was taken aback by who was knocking... I looked through the peephole and I didn't recognize them. I backed away from the door... The door sounded again a lot louder than the first time...

The person that was standing at my door was cloaked in black with a mask on... A death eater mask... I didn't know what to do... Flicking my wand at my feet stupid heels... I ran upstairs to my bedroom...Making it out of sight I heard the door fly open and crash on the floor... Shit shit shit... I took my shoes off and went into my bedroom and put them on the ground... Where's my coin where is it I need Draco..fuck‌ I need someone... I found it underneath my pillow and I sent an SOS to Draco... He should be here any second I get in my hiding space in my closet I made when I was younger and stay there...

"Oh come on love, I'm not going to hurt a pretty girl like you.." is all I hear from the hallway. I clap my hands over my mouth, trying not to cry off my makeup. The door swings open to my closet... "Oh come on Little Dove come out and play" Is all I hear I keep quiet I don't move I don't make a sound "Oh you are going to do this the hard way aren't you..." The death eater asks me but I don't respond... He sighed and walked away I thought he was gone so I looked out of the closet I was wrong so very very wrong "Oh little dove so intelligent but so stupid at the same time." He says while walking over to the closet. I pull my wand into my hand, waiting to block a spell coming toward me... But he does the unthinkable. "Curcio" The spell hits me hard in fast I scream in pain...
