A/N: Willkommin! This is my much needed revised version of You Set Me free. Many of you have read it I'm sure…or at least I hope. But It was about 2 years old, and in bad shape and needed some tender love and care. So, I finally went to the task of revising all the chapters. Things will be added here and there, and certain parts I kept out of the 1st version, I'm now adding back in. I hope you all enjoy it. Just as a note, this can in a lot of ways be considered a Mary-Sue, though it's much more original for that. But for those of you who wish to consider it that, fine, but don't say I didn't warn you. And do not flame me for it. Flames will be used to warm my Apple and Cinnamon tea. Please R/R!

Prologue

Boston, Mass. USA

Katrina stood with her ear pressed against the thick cherry wood door outside of the main study of her father's home, straining to hear the conversation going on inside. "She is still just a child. There is no way of telling if she inherited the gift from her mother or not. You must give us more time." This, Katrina recognized easily as her father's weary voice.

"We told you before old man. She was given her freedom until her 10th birthday. That was 2 weeks ago. You should be grateful the girl was given more time then was agreed in the first place. We'll wait no longer." The stranger's voice was loud enough for the entire manor to here. This was the 5th time these strange men, dressed in cloaks of midnight, their faces hooded from view has come to the house. Katrina had learned that these men were called Death Eaters, and had been coming every other year from England, since the day she was born.

Katrina herd the door unlatch and quickly ducked behind an old suit of armor that decorated the hallway. Her father stepped out of the room, shutting the door behind him. He turned to a small house elf that had been waiting just a few doors down.

"Fetch Kat, will you Seka?" His eyes were weary with sadness and worry, but he never took out his problems on the house elves that worked in the manor. The small elf bowed her head and went running down the hallway.

"It's alright Daddy, I'm right here." Katrina snuck out from behind the armor turned to stand in front of her father

Braden turned to see his daughter, and almost wished she had still been in her room. He knelt down and took Katrina in his arms. "Do you remember how I told you the stranger's were coming today, Kat?" Katrina simply nodded her head. "Well they want to ask you a few questions ok? Don't be afraid Sweet Pea. I'll be right outside the door. If you need me at anytime, you just yell ok?" Again Katrina nodded, but on the inside she was trembling. She didn't want to be alone with those people, but she knew she had to be strong, for her father's sake.

Katrina stepped into the study, and the heavy wooden doors shut behind her with an unnerving thud. She stood there, her back to the door, completely still while the two hooded figurers studied her.

"Come closer Girl." The taller of the two men held out his hand, motioning her to a seat in front of them. Katrina took a deep breath, and held her head high as she walked over and sat in front of them. The shorter of the two men began to stand up, but was pushed back down by the other. "No. I want to see for my self." The tall man reached out and put two fingertips to Katrina's temple, and the feeling sent a surge of pain threw her. Katrina closed her eyes tightly, trying to block out the disturbing images that began to flood her mind. Images of people dieing, suffering, being tortured to the brink of death but not allowed to die flooded her vision. Katrina shook her head violently, and tried to get away from the man, but he only pressed his fingers harder to her temple. She screamed out, trying to get someone, anyone to make the images stop, but they only became worse.

"Stop it! Leave me alone! Please stop!" she screamed, but this only caused the shorter man to come over and hold her down to the chair. When the shorter man's fingers touched her arms, the images only increased, and flooded her mind with more blood and death.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Suddenly, Katrina sent out an explosion with an enormous amount of energy from inside her that sent the two men flying through the stain glass windows. Braden burst into the room, only to find his daughter shaking violently. He ran to her, picking her up into his arms and holding her tightly. "Shh….. Easy Kat. Everything's ok now. Calm down sweet pea."

"I……I……I killed those Men……"
