Tenor Pitch Prologue and Chapter 1
Theme song for chapter is Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi
A/N: So, this is a plot bunny that came about because recently I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and I wanted to write an OC character story that was based off of someone being schizophrenic and using some of my own experiences in my writing. For starters, the OC has my first and middle name to symbolize how much this story means to me. It's very personal and I hope you all like it. No flames please. -MoonlitShadow
Prologue
She stood stock still on the outside steps of Illvermorny, the American wizarding school watching as the rain clouds formed in the sky and the voices in her head intensified.
'You're going home. You should be happy.' The voice told her as she nodded in agreement.
"Yes. Yes, I am. Very happy." She said with a note of exhaustion.
Her long black coat whipped around her pale naked legs as she watched the rain begin to fall. Thunder clapped in the distance as a wry smile graced her lips.
'He'll be there. We promise he'll be there for you.' The voices told her reassuringly making her smile wider. She jumped slightly and turned as a hand landed lightly on her shoulder. "Are you ready my child? It will be a long journey. Surely you would like to rest."
Her wizarding caregiver asked as she nodded tiredly in agreement.
It had been ages since she had been back to her old home. Back to where she belonged. With one last look out into the rain, she followed her caregiver's retreating figure back inside the school for the very last time.

Narcissa paced nervously back and forth holding the letter between her small hands.
"She's coming home, Lucius. They've sent her back. Apparently, she will be well enough to attend alongside Draco and the others."
She began as her husband nodded along with her words. It was raining outside the manor as his eyes met the thunderous clouds.
"Yes, dear. She will return. Just as we hoped. This is good. Very good. I am pleased that our plans may continue just as we all have wished."
He said as Narcissa's eyes fell back to the letter.
"But Lucius, do you think such a child will be able to marry and carry on just like any other witch or wizard? Surely you know that it will be most difficult for her to adjust…"
Lucius shook his head and turned back to his wife. "She has our son, Cissa. She will be fine. He will always take care of her. Just as we planned. Just as they would've wished."
He said quietly as his voice dropped down to just above a whisper. Faces flashed in his mind. His dear friends.
Their dear friends. The ones who had been lost only a year before.
"Her parents would be proud, Lu. She's quite beautiful." Narcissa murmured as she handed him an enchanted photo of a lovely pale faced girl with bright blue eyes and long blonde hair. The smile she wore was soft in a dreamy sort of way.
"Ah, yes. Caroline. The one we have waited for. Dear Caroline, may you bring joy to us all." Lucius said as he smiled down at the girl who looked so much like her mother and father.
"Well, I suppose it's time to let Draco in on our little secret." Lucius said as Narcissa smiled happily in his direction. She was wary but knew that this was for the best.
Her son's best friend was coming home and soon she would be much more than that. She was the light among the darkness and may very well save them all.
