A/N: Hey guy and girls :) I've had this story in my head and it's taken me nearly six months to start writing it so I hope you enjoy it. I've uploaded an initial three chapters to get the ball rolling but there will be more to come. Please review as well and suggest ideas for future chapters. Thanks x
Astoria's POV
Jogging down the hallway of her childhood home, I trailed after her elder sister as we reached the darkened living room. "Where is he Tori? He promised he'd meet me here!" Daphne cried, placing her head in her hands as she slouched back into the torn armchair. What on earth was my brother in law thinking? They'd only been married a few months; had he already gone back on his word?
Kneeling down in front of my sister, I placed a pair of delicate hands onto her shoulders with a comforting smile. "He'll be here Daph; he loves you and he wouldn't let you down," I tried, barely convincing myself let alone Daphne. Getting to my feet, it was only then I noticed the white orb that floated mid air in the corner of the room.
"D...Daphne what's that?" I questioned, as she got to her feet quickly. Instantly noticing what it was, my elder sister rushed over and whispered a spell under her breath as the bright light began to speak.
"I...I'm sorry Daphne, I had no choice. The Dark Lord turned up at the Manor and asked for me to join him; he was gonna kill you if I didn't and I just couldn't risk it. We've gone to the castle but please stay here. I dunno what I'd do if anything happened. I'll see you soon I promise, I love you," the orb spoken as I instantly recognising the voice as Theo's.
Looking towards my sister as she practically raced out of the room, I had barely enough time to gather myself before chasing Daphne's tail. Taking hold of her wrist, it stopped the blonde in her tracks. "I'm not letting him die for us Tori; he's my husband no matter what he's done," she shouted; struggling against my tight grip. Looking up into my sister's glazed eyes, I let out a sigh as I released her hand from my sister's whitening hand. "O...Okay, but your not going on your own. We stick together." I explained, before taking her hand and disappearing into the night.
Daphne's POV
Finally feeling my feet touch solid ground, I slowly took a deep breath to calm my racing heart rate. Coming here was one of the most stupid decisions I'd ever made, but I refused to let my husband die for a completely lost cause. Turning towards my nervous looking sister, my chest suddenly sunk at the thought of her getting hurt. We may have had our differences over the years, but she didn't deserve to die because of me. Pressing a loving kiss to her forehead, I gripped her hand tightly as we rushed through the dimly lit corridors of the place we once called home. The once lavish castle had turned into a pile of rubble and destruction: how on earth could this be right?
