The Dark Days

Prologue

                          

I woke up in the middle of chaos, alarms could be heard through the whole District, lightnings produced by wands and terrorized people screaming. I got out of bed and dressed up as fast as possible, but when I went outside all I could do was state in shock. Streets were filled with black hooded figures, hiding their faces with horrible masks, people were screaming with truly fear, other were falling by the effects of the cruciatus curse. I couldn't tell between dead bodies, if there was any, and unconscious people, so when I turned around to confirm that no one was home, it's when fear took in. My mom and brother weren't here and that could only mean one thing.

- Hello, my dear - A cold and dark voice said behind me, I could feel Goosebumps starting to appear and my blood about to boil.

- What the hell are you doing here Bella? - I asked trying to prove my bravery, but deep down she has always scared me.

- I don't think that's a decent tone to talk to your cousin, Sirius -  she said, showing her wand, which looked a lot like her, a very deep brown, curvy shape and evil.

- I do not give respect to someone like you - the words flooded though me with so much hate that I barely recognized myself - you were so devoted to my father, with all the bullshit of thoughts against the dark magic and look at yourself now, a ball sucker of the so called "Dark Lord", what a shame -  I thought that I would regret saying it out loud, but I don't, even though, and imminent anger was reflecting in Bellatrix's eyes when she showed me an evil smile.

- you are going to regret everything you've said, little cousin, the dark lord won't like your behaviour at all, he expected nothing but the best from you- and just when I was about to respond, the shadows evolved her, disappearing into the darkness.

"He expected nothing but the best from you"...now my head is spinning, trying to understand why the dark lord hoped for the best from me. I am so shocked I don't see my mom and brother come inside.

- Sirius we thought they took you before the reaping! - She screams scared.

It wasn't that good outside, voldemort 's closest death eaters came here to presence the reaping, rumor has it that there's something different this year about the whole event - my brother says. Sometimes I admire him because how in hell can he know all this stuff during such hard times?.

These news about the reaping doesn't give me any hope or answers to any of the many questions in my head, however, I still have to dress up with this awful black robe and go to the reaping with my head held high. I hope I can make it through this alive and in the best case scenario my name won't be picked within the four tickets by this woman, that I hate so much for enjoying watching inocent people die.

- Regulus please hurry up, I want to go to the reaping by our own feet, and without the death eaters company- Says my mother either depressed or scared.

I'm in front of the mirror hating my look, I feel disgusting, terrifying and awful. I have a long black robe, with a hood, and a wand case I look exactly like one of those vicious followers of the Dark Lord, I'm a copy of my cousin, the one I hate and I'm scared of, I'm watching every patern of everything that I don't want for my life, in the mirror I see a death eater. And, just when someone knocks the door, Regulus comes out of his bedroom dressed up just like me, this is his second year going to the reaping. This whole thing is to participate to be part of the Dark Lord's followers.

- Quickly! You wouldn't like to make him wait - it's a deep bored voice, with a bit of hate and sadness.

I think I know that voice, of course I know it he was my best friend until he was reaped two years ago, every time I see what he has turned into, a deep hate grow inside of me. When I open the door all my guesses come true, standing in front of me without looking is a 19 year old boy, who I know so well, um well someone I thought I knew after growing up together here in District 4. He still has all the scars in his skin from all the battles he lived and won ti become a victor, his face is so different as it used to be but I know that some were is my best friend.

- James! What an honor having you here - I say whit venom in my voice.

- Shut up and walk, it's too late for the reaping - He orders, even though I'm not in the mood and I don't want to obey this terrorists, I have to do it, if I don't do that it I'll be the cruciatus curse 's job making me   take orders.

I'm walking to the square with my mom and brother with James behind me, and when I barely turn my head the anger fills me, this happens so quick, my brother punches James in the nose, my mom falls to the ground then I make my part, I kick him twice, until I see a powerful red light and then just pain, so much pain that I don't know if I will survive this, then an insane laugh sounds so loud in my ears while I'm twisting in the ground and finally I fall unconscious.
