"Just slit both their throats." I turned around before i heard the sounds of sudden grunts and the blood flow to the floor. Yet i stared at the fireplace before the throne of mine as if it warmed me and burned my thoughts away even though it did not. "Clean the floor fast." I huffed taking another sip of whiskey while maintaining a certain dose not wanting to get drunk at the meantime.

They cleaned the room before they exited. "Who else is left?" I huffed tilting my head to the side. "Seven, my lord" i groaned in frustration. "My lord, Seven the death eater." I realised after his commentary and thus i inclined back at him. "Let him proceed then." I drank once more the bitterness. After a numbing minute of silence the door knocked, "come in, Seven." I answered before the door opened and closed leisurely.

I sighed. "My lord, we have found this intruder a few days ago." I heard with suffocated rage of his. Oh he sounded raged of that opponent. "I told you before, i'm not a fucking intru-"
"You shut your mouth when my lord's present."

But i heard her voice. I heard her own timbre. That song of perfect vocals. That soft feminine voice despite her use of language. And i turned immediately only to find her.

Her...
Anastasia. She was distorted. Scratched dirty face. Ripped clothes, swollen purple leg. Messed up hair. Yet beautiful. Ugh. Anastasia's back. Anastasia was back to me.

As if the all the universes conspired to bring her back to me. As if God sent her back to me like a comet to burn me in the iciness i felt. What a wicked game? Yet what a delightful reunion? She returned and it was as if life was blown back into my figure. She was right there, right at the moment. And it was without any intrusion of mine once more. She was whole and she was here. And it was only then did i start truly fretting what's to come for tonight.

Then i snapped to reality when her eyes met mine and she spat blood to the floor. "What did you do?" I let go of the glass and let it glide in the air. I checked her out, merlin's! she was undone. I stepped up to him and raised my chin with tensed jaws.

"We took her in, we tortured her. But she refused to say who sent her. And my lord, she almost escaped us, but we hardly managed to keep her so now we brought her for a verdict." I raised my brows at his bravery glancing at her lowly impressed. She almost escaped them. Oh dear, i taught you well.

She beamed at me with pride causing me to raise a brow back at Seven. "Without my permission?" I kept my fists locked tight behind my back so i wouldn't break his nose. "My lord? She's an intruder, what did you expect me to do?" I stepped two steps forward when i heard his voice a little angrier than i would allow it.

Intruder??? She was my home more than this place ever was.

"Are you saying that my permission happens to be a useless aspect?" I tilted my head keeping my timbre cold and low. I fixed my posture still trying my very best to remain composed. "No my lord, never. But she knows everything about you, and us. I thought knowing who she is would be in our advantage and who sent her." He explained with a fretting tone looking lower at her before she lied on her back when Nagini began to crawl closer to her.
