Prelude: October 1978
The three imposing figures advanced towards the frightened blonde witch who was wandless. "Father, please." She whimpered in the silence, tears welling in her eyes.
The white hair man shook his head and raised his head. "Crucio!" He cried as the spell hit his only daughter. Her screams of pain suddenly ended as he released the spell. She was able to get to her feet quickly as she thought. 'If I can just get to my room.'
"Stay down bitch!" Her own brother said as he raised his wand. "Crucio!" He cried smiling. She fell down to the floor as she shook from the pain of the spell.
The torture stopped for a moment and she pushed herself into a fetal position. "Please Lucius. I don't deserve this!" She cried looking at her brother; he looked down at her as he would a common house elf.
"You should have thought what your punishment would be for refusing the dark mark! He is our lord and you refuse his mark!" Lucius said in a soft cold voice. "Crucio!" He cried but she dodged the spell and made a run for it.
She didn't get very far before she heard Rabastan Lestrange yell. "Avada Kedavra!" She ducked the spell and reached the steps as she heard all three of them behind her.
"Crucio!" Abraxas Malfoy cried as that spell hit his daughter, she fell on the steps violently cracking her head open. She screamed in pain and closed her eyes as she thought about her mother who had been driven insane by the very same curse she was now under.
The spell relapsed and once again, the youngest Malfoy was on the run from her own family. She was only a few steps away from her room, where her wand laid on the bed. "Accio wand!" She cried hopefully.
Sure enough, her wand flew into her hand just as Rabastan jumped next to her and grinned madly as he raised his wand. "Avada…" He began but Ashlynn kicked his legs out from under him as she stood and sent two stunning spells at her brother and father. She reached the landing, turned quickly on the spot and with a loud pop was gone.
She appeared suddenly in the main lane of Hogsmeade. Exhausted and in horrific pain the young girl collapsed into the snow covered road.
