"where all your darkest fears are gonna come for you."
Makayla
I'm sitting in the Great Hall at the Slytherin table with Jordyn, Jules, Kai, Mattheo, and Theodore, my leg bouncing beneath the table.
We're sitting in silence. My mouth is too dry to speak. Then, Moody walks in with my father.
The breathing in my throat completely halts. Whenever this happens, I wonder if I want to go back to breathing again. Today, I don't have to wonder. I don't want to breathe again.
"We'll start with the oldest," Moody grumbles.
Mattheo hesitantly stands up and walks into another room with my father.
"Who would like to go next?" Moody asks.
I stay silent until I'm the last person at the table. I was kind of hoping that they'd just forget I was here at some point.
After Mattheo, Kai goes. Then Jules goes, then Theo and Jordyn go together.
"Alright, Malfoy," Moody murmurs. "Your turn."
I hold my breath as I stand up and walk into the room that my father is in.
When the door closes, he says, "I've been waiting for this day since you were born, you know that?"
"I really don't care," I say, rolling my eyes.
He sighs and walks closer to me, grabbing my wrist and pulling it toward him.
I stammer, "W—Wait—Da—I'm not ready yet—please—"
Before I can get him to listen to a word I say, he is pressing his wand to the inside of my wrist, the Dark Mark permanently painting itself on my skin. I can't stop the tears and sobs I let out when he pushes me away, causing me to hit the wall behind me as he walks out.
Later that night, I'm in the shower, nearly having a meltdown as I let out shuddering sobs, trying to scratch the Dark Mark off. When I got into the shower, I didn't even bother to take my clothes off. I just want the Mark to be gone.
When it doesn't come off, I find myself screaming, "PIECE OF SHIT!"
I stop trying to scratch it off and just sit on the floor of the shower, water seeping through my clothes as I cry and stare at the Dark mark on my wrist. The skin around it is now completely red.
"Fuck..." I breathe out, barely able to breathe at all.
