Chapter 2: The Scribbles

Narcissa woke up early to the sound of Kali's scribbling. She shook Lucius's arm and sat up and went to the door.

"What, what is it?" Narcissa shushed him and made him listen. He heard the sound and he got up and went to the door, walking out and down the stairs. Narcissa followed, grabbing onto his arm as they turned the corner. They saw Kali scribbling and they both looked at each other and then at Kali again. They walked up to her slowly and both sat next to her. They saw her and realized she was in some sort of trance or something, both of them confused and worried. Narcissa pulled the hair out of her face and Kali finally looked up at Narcissa and then at Lucius.

"Honey, do you know what time it is?" Kali looked up at the time and was confused to see it said 6:00. She then looked back at her drawings and realized she didn't remember drawing any of them. Half of them were just dark scribbles and lines and weird shapes. The others, however, were of dark and scary looking creatures. Narcissa took the pages and began looking through them, passing them to Lucius who also looked through them.

"I don't... I don't remember. I do remember not going to bed. I came out here because I couldn't sleep so I began to draw. But then it was like I just went to sleep. I don't remember drawing most of those." Lucius looked down at Kali and pulled her chin so she was looking up at him. It was like he was examining her eyes and he sighed and leaned back in his chair.

"Do you have nightmares, Kali? Answer me truthfully." Kali hesitated but nodded her head finally and Lucius looked at the photos again.

"They're really scary. Sometimes I don't remember them, but most of the time, I do. They scare me, I don't want them anymore. I just want them to go away." Kali jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his lap.

"Okay, okay, just take deep breaths. No need to cry, we are here, we are here to protect you." Lucius looked up at Narcissa and saw that she mouthed the word hospital. He nodded his head and picked her up and carried her to the door. He set her down on her feet and put his coat on and looked at Narcissa.

"Where are we going?" Kali asked as Lucius put a coat around her, which was a little too big. He took her hand and opened up the door.

"The hospital." Kali began to freak out and she cried, which frustrated Lucius, but he didn't show it. He picked her up and she clung to him, which calmed him down somehow.

"I don't like hospitals, they're scary. Please, I'm scared, I hate them, I hate them all." Lucius kissed her on the forehead and loaded her into the car.

"I know, Kali, but I need to make sure that you are okay. Maybe we can even get some medicine that will stop your nightmares." Kali decided not to fight since she knew that he was doing it for her wellbeing. She sat in the backseat and stopped crying, watching the street lights as they passed by her window. She was scared to death, but she knew there was no fighting what was going to happen. Kali's crying woke up Draco, who came down the stairs to see his Mother, staring at the door.

"Is she finally gone?" Narcissa looked back at him and felt anger towards his attitude.

"No, she is just going to the hospital. Draco, I need your help finding out what these paintings are of." Narcissa held up Kali's drawings and Draco rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"No, I don't want anything to do with that Bitch." Narcissa stood up and walked over to him, grabbing his arm tightly.

"Fine, if you don't help then you won't be going to Hogwarts this year." Draco began to pout and took the pages out of Narcissa's hands. He began to flip through them and he couldn't tell what the Hell was in the pictures, so he looked up at his Mom.
