MY EYES ARE NUMB AND SHATTERED. Rain pours down on my skin and I stare up at my mother. Blood drips from me, like shattered rubies. I'm dizzy. I'm dazed. She's angry, and I don't know why.
I'm in the back garden of the house, covered in mud and blood. I'm not fighting back, I haven't got the energy to. Theodora steps away from me, disappearing in a cloud of black smoke. I blink my eyes slowly, they flicker as they blur.
I mumble a spell under my breath, and my wounds heal. The mud vanishes from my body, but the rain still falls down me. I stay in the same spot, frozen, staring at the absence of my mother. She hasn't given me orders, I haven't got anything to do. The Dark Lord hasn't given me orders. What am I meant to do?
I blink my eyes yet again, I'm exhausted, and starving. Harry's face pops into my mind, which makes my heart ache. I know where he is now, at the burrow. Along with everyone else. Would it be okay if I go there? I know Ginny said I can, but would it really be okay?
Before I've even thought anything through, I've apparated and I stand opposite the Burrow. I stare at it from outside, contemplating whether or not I should walk in. I don't know if they know about my mark, I don't know who Harry's told.
Someone spots me from the window and Tonks rushes outside. "Jupe!" She calls out and wraps her arms around me tightly. I stagger from the impact slightly, before wrapping my arms around her.
"Oh my gosh, are you alright? I haven't heard from you in months." I nod my head at her words and she moves back staring at me. "I'm okay." I mumble out and she stares into my tired eyes. Tonks licks her lips, her eyes filling with sadness.
"What happened?" She calls out to me and I swallow harshly, my throat aching. "A lot, a lot I can't talk about." Tonks glances around us, nodding her head. "Come inside, you must be freezing." She says and takes my hand, leading me into the house as I follow behind her, dull-like.
"Jupiter! Oh dear, come inside." Mrs Weasley calls out as Tonks pulls me inside. I spot Harry inside of the room, sitting on the sofa. He stiffens upon seeing me, before rushing to his feet. "Don't let her in here." His voice is cold and sharp, incredibly loud.
Everyone rushes into the living room from the sound, the twins, and Ginny seem confused whilst Ron stares at me with hatred in his eyes.
"Harry. What do you mean?" I can't meet anyone's gaze, my eyes are on the floor and I've dropped Tonks' hand. "She's a Death Eater." Everyone's eyes move to me and I take a step backwards. My heart pounds within me and I swallow again. My hands are trembling and I dig my nails into my skin.
