Audrey's Secret

Four More Days

I force my eyes to open, the pain from Draco's hit piercing my cheek worse than before. The light hurt, well, what was light. There were blurry lights hanging on the wall, most likely  torches. Groaning, I managed to  sit up on the lump of hay beneath me to look around. The wall was made with cold stone, the window was made with bars, the cold autumn wind swimming around the floor. There was a staircase in front of cell along with two red velvet chairs.

I examined my legs to see if they had done anything to them before standing up. They were soar but ok. I walk around the cell, looking at what I will be staying in for who knows long. "-He says not to do anything to her yet. He's going to do it remember?"

Draco's voice echoes against the wall, a small light and another person following him down the stair case. I lean against the wall. I cross my arms over my chest and wait for them to come. "But what do I do if - oh my gosh..." The person trailed off. I could only see his figure in the shadow but Draco? Plain as day.

"Good morning!" Draco said smiling his fake smile. I remained silent. He made a puppy face. "AWWH. What's wrong with little Audrey?"

"Don't you have something better to do?" I asked him honestly. He was being quite annoying and frankly, I don't want to hear anything he has to say. He exchanged looks with the shadow and turned back to me. "We have come to bring you to Tom." The shadow put a box in Draco's arms. "Wear this."

"No."

He slid the box inside the cell. I kicked it back to him.

"No."

"Don't make me come in there."

I sneered at his comment. "Oh I'm so afraid of baby Draco! His dad is powerful and gives his braty son whatever he wants. Oh please don't come in!" I said in a squeaky voice.

He took out a key and unlocked the cell he pushed it open and took his hand and back slapped me. For a few seconds, I was blind. I quickly recovered and punched him straight in the nose. He went back into the cell door and hit his head on the bars. He cursed out and rubbed his nose. He looked at me with eyes watering.

I stuck out my tongue. "I never wanted to hurt you, Audrey. You never wanted to hurt me. Put it behind you. We are enemies now. You have chosen and he was lucky. I promise you, if he hurts you, I'll kill him." He wipes his bloody nose and walks out of the cell. He kicks the box under the door to my feet. "Put it on."

He turns around and waits.

"Master, here she is." Draco says to a dark lump on a golden throne in a dark room. "Go away. Go dance...both of you..."

Draco leads me back to the cell I was in and locked me back in it. "Tomorrow." He twists my arm behind my back until I hear the unhealthy SNAP of my bone. I scream out in horrifying pain as he shoves me on the stone floor, crying  and screaming. 

"Sweet dreams, dear Audrey."

*           *           *             *

"Let me go!!"

I hear a voice shriek from the upper part of the stair case. "Shut up! Don't want to wake up that devilish child." I hear Draco hiss.

I close my eyes slowly,  the pain from my arm making my eyes water. "Get in there and make your self useful." I hear Draco say as the cell door bust open and I hear a body being slammed into the floor. I flinch and open my eyes. "You go do something useful and let us out, let us go." I croaked. I didn't realize my throat was dry until now. All I hear is silence as everyone realizes I'm acually there, alive. Draco opens the cage again pushes the boy onto the wall, a bone cracking in the process, he seizes me by the collar of my robes, and drags me out. I hear the boy screaming, telling me to keep looking at the light.

And so I did.

I did so until he had let my head bounce off the stone floor as he dropped my robes and opened a door. I held my head, and try to look around. There's nothing. Just darkness.

"Get rid of her now! She's such a spoiled brat!" Draco spit to someone. I can imagine him pulling his own hair out right now. I stand up looking around for anything to use as a weapon, only to have someone grab me by my hands and pull me inside an unhealthy, disturbingly cold room. They chained me up to the wall, my wand in my hand. I shook my head. "I won't need it where I'm going."

"It's my dear sister...Audrina Roselt Riddle. Ah, wonderful. How have you been, my dear?"

"I'm not up for your games, Tom. Just kill me and get it over with."

I hear footsteps getting closer. "Draco, out! Go feed that bloody boy in the cell." The door clicked shut and it was just Tom and I.

"My! Why would I ever want to kill my sister?" He said mockingly.

"Because you're crazy and maybe you had a terrible childhood. You know, dad being there and leaving before I was even born must have been hard on you." I said coughing hard afterwards.

"SILENCE!"

He cleared his throat. I rubbed my eyes with my pointer finger and regained my sight. He had grown from the last time I had saw him. He had his jet black hair in a mess kind of like Harry's - oh. Oh gosh I miss him. I wonder if he knows I'm OK.

"You were the reason that father had left. He only wanted me! Me! Me! He only wanted me to take his spot and not some girl who is worthless!" Tom continued.

"How am I surviving this? How am I living right this moment? Oh, becks this girl is powerful! I hope you die a terrible death!" I spat back at him. Who is he to be mean to me when I've been treated like dirt all because he wanted me dead and his father in his grasp?

"You are surviving because I am deciding you should live, but not without pay back for all those years!" He mumbled a spell and a green light hit my straight on my arm.
