I stared down at the boy, who was whimpering now and realized I couldn't do it. I had killed innocent muggles, babies, anyone who crossed my path without remorse, but I just couldn't kill him. I kneeled down, so I was staring into his eyes and asked, "What's your name?"

"C-caleb" he whimpered.

"Listen Caleb, what i'm about to do will probably get me killed, and I'm not completely sure why I am doing this, but when I tell you to, hold on to my arm, okay?" 

He nodded.

"I'm gonna take you to Privet Drive in London, and leave you there. Your gonna run home and hide, okay?"

He nodded once again, I whispered, "Now."

He grabbed on to me, and I apparated with a loud crack. We appeared at the end of road, and I looked at Caleb again, "Run. Now." I said. 

His eyes filling with tears, he set off, running down the road. I sighed in frustration, there was gonna be pain to pay for this. I quickly apparated back to the manor and right into the dining room. The Dark .Lord was sitting there, looking angrier than before. 

"My Lord." I said in a calm voice.

He stood up and advanced towards me, "What a waste." He said, almost to himself. 

I raised my eyebrows, "What's a waste?" I said hesitantly, knowing I wouldn't like the answer. 

"You." He said, his eyes looking at me in a curious way. 

I stiffened.

He smiled, "Oh, don't worry, I will not kill you yet, well not at least without a proper duel."

I frowned. "What?" I said.

Suddenly the dining room table was lifted from the middle and thrown across the room. The chairs all were thrown back from the impact leaving a long stretch of floor. A perfect dueling stage.

The Dark Lord, lifted his robes sleeves and pressed the engraved Dark Mark on his arm. In seconds, Death Eaters had apparted around us. I groaned, this wasn't gonna be fun...

When a full circle of masked Death Eaters were around us, Lord Voldemort spoke, "You, Rose Evans, learned everything you know today from me, The Dark Lord, the most feared wizard ever known. I gave you immortality, i gave you powers, and most of all i gave you that pretty little ring on your finger," - I snarled at him.- "No need to make that face, Ms.Evans. Like I was saying, I gave you everything you have today. But I can take it away as easily it had come." 

As fast as lightening, he threw a spell at me. I, expecting to my ring to deflate it, was shocked when I realized, it had hit me. I screamed, the curse was causing some type of pain in my chest, right below my heart. I fell to my knees, clutching my chest, as the pain suddenly stopped. It felt like the life in me was being sucked out, like I was dieing, but only I wasn't..

I grimaced, and slowly stood up to face a smiling, Lord Voldemort. 

"Your immortality, Rose? Gone. The powers of that ring dont work agaisnt me, but you of course already knew that." He said, still grinning. I heard the Death Eaters chuckled. And for the first time in my life,  I was truly scared.

"If it's deul you want, then it's a duel you shall get." I said calmly, making my calm face hide any trace of fear.

He moved to the middle of the the dueling stage and I mimicked him.

I slightly inclined my back at him, and turned and walked to the other side, holding my wand up. 

"You know, Rose, after I kill you, I think I'll go and kill that little boy you let escape."
