The curse of the noble house of Black

blood is not alway thicker

When Rebecca arrived home she went straight to her bedroom. Closed the door and let herself fall onto the bed.  She closed her eyes to let everything that happened today run again through her head. She felt so happy and could feel the butterflies dancing in her stomach but also anxious about that mysterious letter that arrived. What was written in it that Lucius had to leave so quickly? And most importantly why didn't he tell her?

She opened her eyes again and looked at the box that that Lucius gave her. Carefully she opened it up. In it was a pretty long black dress with a golden skirt. Her face finally got a little colour again and her eyes began to shine while she looked at it and let the soft and expensive material run through her fingers.

Rebecca put the dress aside as beneath it was a smaller box. "More?" she whispered to herself. Her stomach turned as she felt guilty that he spent so much money on her. She pulled out a golden medallion. Carefully she opened it and read what was written inside.

"if there ever comes a day we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever - L"

Rebecca let out a quiet chuckle. How kitschy but cute. She immediately closed it and put it around her neck.

She left the dress on her bed and walked upstairs to her twin brothers room. On a small ladder in one of the corridors Kreacher was standing. He tried to clean the window. Why wasn't he already beheaded? Probably cause he is a really loyal house-elf and also a blood supremacist just like her parents. But he can't clean or cook or anything else a house-elf is supposed to do.

The door of Regulus room was wide open. She guessed he didn't think anyone would come all the way upstairs. She leaned against the doorframe ready to scare him when he will turn around. Regulus was looking at himself in the mirror but what was he looking at? He looked concerned. Rebecca followed Regulus gaze. She saw what was tattooed on his arm and gasped. He raised his head and turned around. As fast as he could he came towards her and tried to close the door but she put her foot between it. She groaned in pain as the door slammed against her foot but she held on his wrist.

She swallowed and tears started filling her eyes. Another deep breath as Rebecca looked at the dark mark. A snake that came out of a skull graved into his skin.

"Does Sirius already know?" She said angrily. "No and you won't tell him," Regulus looked also angry down on her as he was taller. "Kreacher," she shouted, "get Sirius. Now!" You could hear his bony feet tap on the wooden ground. "Yes miss black."

"Becca don't!" She could hear the pain in his voice. The skinny house elf vanished into thin air. "Why? So we can watch you die?" She almost screamed through the whole house.

"Calm down Becca." She turned around as she heared Sirius voice behind her. "What happened?" his voice sounded worried and his eyes switched between his younger siblings. "Our brilliant brother decided to become a death eater." Thousand and no thoughts could be seen in his facial expressions but he quickly found his composure.
"Are you trying to impress father and mother? You know you don't need that. Regulus we talked about this. We're not like them," Sirius said.

Anger has now also build up in Regulus. "Has it ever crossed your brilliant minds that this is what I want," Regulus says between his teeth. "What you want?" Sirius came closer towards Regulus. "Blood supremacy, pain, oppression." Regulus rolled his eyes and put on a black jacket over his dark mark so they would stop staring at it. It made him uncomfortable. "It's a suicide mission Reg!"

Before she could say anything else their mother stormed into the room. "Stop shouting at your brother." Rebecca swallowed her anger. "Yes mother." Then Sirius last nerve exploded. "No not yes mother. You're ruining them. Look at Regulus!"
With an emotionless face she said: "when I look at him I see a perfect son who wants to make us proud."
"This can't be what you want mother. He is your son and he will die." Her face finally changed to a really angry expression. Her veins begun to show on her forehead. "No you're not what I want. You are the disappointment of this family. Now get out of my house and never come back. I don't ever want to see you again or interact with Regulus or Rebecca!"

Rebecca's heart started beating faster. "Mother please," she begged but before she could say anything else her mother interrupted her. "No Rebecca be quiet! It's enough now. Get dressed. The Malfoys have invited us for dinner." Rebecca's heart slipped. The Malfoys? Like Lucius family?

Now that her mother had finish talking Sirius gave Rebecca a small nod. "You know where to find me Becca. Please stay safe. You seem like the only one here that thinks clear."
She narrowed her eyes, tightened her jaw and walked into her own room.
If he'd known that she dated Lucius Malfoy he wouldn't speak so proudly of her.
She waved her wand to freshen up her makeup and did a new hairstyle. She also decided to wear the new things that Lucius gifted her.

Her parents, Regulus and her  apparated to the Malfoy Manor.
