The Snake and The Seer

Emerson

My body was sat inside of an extremely dark room, something binding my hands together and something on my mouth to keep me from talking. The room smelled like rotted fruit and the air around it was sticky. Voices came from outside, voices I couldn't distinguish. I tried my hardest to understand what they were saying. 

"Bella! You kidnapped his daughter?! Do you understand how dangerous that is? What if she wakes up and somehow gets free? We will be dead within the hour!" That voice...It's so familiar...

"Oh dear sister, she can't do anything. Stole her wand, you see? Took that mirror too, still can't figure out what that is for though. Ooh! Maybe it's for her little friend, the one that is a prophet." Quinn?! Oh no...They have my mirror, if they call Quinn here, there's nothing I can do to stop her. 

"The mirror? Give that to me. If Sirius or anyone else that is in the Order finds out that you attacked Emerson and called her friend to try and 'save' her. We will never make it out of here alive. "  

"Oh Cissa, so paranoid." NARCISSA?! Oh no, oh no. This is bad, this is really bad. 

The door handle started to jiggle and the locks were turning. Someone opened the door and the previously dark room now was lit up as bright as it could have been. My eyes slowly adjusted and I could finally tell who was in the doorway.  A death eater, who I couldn't recognize, grabbed my left forearm and yanked me out of the closet. I hit the ground and I felt many eyes on me. Looking up, I could see Narcissa, Bellatrix, Lucius, Greyback, and...Oh no, he couldn't be here...

"Bella, where did you find her?"Lucius asked as he paced around me, his heeled boot hovering over my ankle.

"Oh just around. She doesn't blend in as much as she thinks she does. That hair and that dreadful scar does help though." Scar? I have a scar? 

"Draco? Take the tape off of her mouth." Draco looked me in the eyes sorrowfully as he ripped the duct tape off of my face. At the same time he ripped it off of my face, Lucius slammed his foot down onto my ankle, breaking it for sure.

"AAHH! SON OF A-!! GAHHH!"

"Oh, such foul language for a lady." I glared at Lucius as he continued to walk around me. Narcissa took Draco's hand and lead him out of the room. 

"Go to hell..." His eyebrow raised and he took out his wand, and raised it to me. 

"Oh dear, I didn't think we'd have to start this so early. Oh well, you'll learn faster this way," No, no this is illegal. "CRUCIO!" 

It felt like thousands of volts of energy was running through my veins and it was getting worse by the moment. 

"AHHHHHHHHH! STOP IT! GAH! PLEASE!!!" 

"Emerson!"

"Hey, princess! Wake up!" 

The reality around me shifted and my eyes snapped open to reveal Draco and Blaise staring down at me. I scrambled to get away from both of them and curled myself into the farthest corner of the couch, my wand pointed directly at both of them. Blaise raised his hands in the air and Draco looked to me with caution. 

"Emerson, dove, it's okay. It's just Blaise and I, we aren't going to hurt you. You can put your wand down..." The hand holding up my wand started to shake and I slowly started to lower it. Blaise slowly made his way over and grabbed my wand out of my hand and passed it to Draco, who put on the table furthest away from the couch. Draco gently moved Blaise out of the way and sat down next to me. Once the realization that they weren't going to hurt me, the shaking in my hands got worse and I had started crying. 

The surrounding noise around me dissipated and my vision went out of focus. I felt something being wrapped around me, and my body being pulled into someone else's chest. The thump of a heartbeat and the rising and falling of a person's breath eventually calmed me down enough to where my vision and hearing returned. Draco looked down at me and I pulled away to look him in the eyes.
