Chapter 2: Mistake
Lyrica's POV:
"Hello uncle" I say as I walk up to Voldemort. He is my dads' brother that's why my last name is Riddle.
"Hello pup" he says with an evil smile on his face as usual. I don't know why but ever since I was little he has always called me pup but I never looked much into it. "So I hear it's someone's 16th birthday tomorrow is it not?" he continues.
"I have completely forgotten about that but yes it is!" I say with a bit of excitement in my voice.
"Well would my lovely young niece come join me for tea?"
"Yes uncle I would love too." I really didn't want to stay for tea as it's already 11:30pm but what other choice do I have? Ha exactly I don't have one. Uncle and I spoke for a while about nothing unparticular that is until he abruptly stood up and I right after him. "Come with me now darling." He's a quack I laugh to myself I wonder if he got dropped on his head when he was younger, well it would explain a lot. I laugh even harder trying not to laugh out loud. He isn't the worst uncle out there he has taught me a lot that's for sure. Every bit of magic that I know is from him. I snap out of my thoughts as walk outside. "Uncle?"
"Yes?" he replies.
"Why are we outside?" he spun around so fast I swear I almost fell on my ass.
"Don't you dare question me Lyrica!" he roared in my face. I'm getting scared. He turns back around and continues walking deeper into the woods and starts to talk after a while. I check my watch and it's 11:59pm.
"You don't know yourself Lyrica and you don't know your dad." What the fuck is he talking about of course I know my dad I live with him for fucks sake and how could I not know myself? " You know what your dad is? He is a good for nothing mutt." Fuck you! I want to scream! His voice softens now as he turns to me. "But you Lyrica your different, you're something special, very special." He grins mischievously at me. "And tonight!" he continues loudly. "I'm going to show you who you really are!" I start slowly backing away not knowing what he means by that, but you can just tell already that it involves magic, black magic.
"Un..uncle? w..wh..what do..do you me..mean?" I stutter out. I'm fucked oh so fucked.
"I'm going to give you you're gift Lyrica. Don't be so scared."
"An..and what … is..is my gi..gift?" he walks up to me and puts his face really close and whispers. All I could think was get away, get away.
"You're soul." I have a soul what is he talking about by giving me my soul! I hear him evilly laughing and I check my watch again just as it changes to 12:00pm. I know something bad is going to happen so I turn around and run. I'm running so hard the air that I'm breathing in feels like sand paper grinding down my throat. I need to get out of here. That was my last thought before the wind got knocked out of me by a force that knocked me to the ground. A burning pain shot through my entire body and I screamed. I could feel my bones cracking healing then cracking again. I have no idea how long this went for but it felt like hours, I couldn't handle the pain anymore so I blacked out.
I woke up with the biggest headache ever then I remember everything that that happened before I blacked out and I shot my eyes open. Everything looks really different; everything looks almost clearer and sharper? I'm confused I just think to myself.I try to move but my pains in protest. I look around and see that I am still outside and that it's early morning I'm guessing around 2 or 3 o'clock, I look down to look at my watch but I hear my uncle's voice so I look up instead.
He's standing so far away how can I hear him? "Looks who's finally awakened" Voldemort says with a grim smile. "Come here pup" he says a little more softly. I stand up to go walk over to him and wonder why I'm still so low to the ground. I tilt my head to see paws. Wait! What! Paws! What the fuck! That's not right! I start freaking out and clumsily walk over to a puddle. What I see just horrifies me. I'm a wolf? I ask myself in disbelief. I stare at myself, the only thing I recognize about my eyes. They are the same but nothing else is. My fur is black, black as night, it's so dark it almost looks blue. I lift up my lips to relieve a set of sharp white teeth that are made to kill. I'm almost scared of myself and what I can do. I continue looking at myself and see that I am bigger than a normal wolf much bigger, if I were standing beside someone my back would reach about there midsection and that would have to be on a tall person. I need to learn how to control myself and quickly. I completely forgot that my uncle told me to go to him until he spoke up again.
"I see your father never told you that he is a were wolf?" I didn't know if I could speak or not so I just shook my head sadly. What else is my family hiding from me? "Hmm that'swhat I suspected." He said more to himself then to me. "I will explain a few things to you my dear, first you can change into and out of your wolf anytime you please but on the full moon is when you will feel the strongest pull. To show someone respect you will lower your head and tilt it so you neck will be showing. Do that now because you shall respect me." I did as he said. "good. You shall stay like that until I tell you otherwise or nod my head." He nodded his head and I went back into my normal stance. "You are my pup my dear and you will come to me when I need you is that clear? Oh and the rest lyrical you will figure out on your own." And with that he was gone within a flash.
I knew nothing in these woods could hurt me, I know way to much magic and dark arts to have anyone harm me. I slowly put one of my paws in front of the other and knew that if I wanted to go anywhere or do anything in life again I would have to make sure that I knew how to control my switching from wolf to human and how to control my strength and actions. I started to get the hang of walking around, it actually came pretty naturally. I started to pick up pace and started jogging , I wanted to see how far I could push myself so I started to move fast loving the feel of my muscles stretching underneath my fur. Everything was a blur now, well it would be if I still had my human vision, but with my new vision I could see everything. I was running past an apperation point when one of the other death eaters showed up and looked horrified when they saw me. It was Lucius Malfoy. In mere seconds he took out his wand and had it pointing at me. I knew I could deflect anything he threw at me but I didn't want to start a fight because I knew I would hear it from uncle later. I slowly walked over to him put my head down and tilted it showing Lucius the udder most respect.
"Are you a Death Eater?" he questioned me. I nodded my head yes. "Hmmm how interesting. Who are you?" I shook my head letting him know I wouldn't tell him. I don't want anyone knowing. "Hmm very well then. Walk with me to Lord Voldemort then." He said it more as a command than a question and knew I had no other choice than to obey. We walked for a while in silence. Not that I was expecting a conversation or anything. We walked until we saw my uncle.
"Ah come here my dear!" uncle said almost joyfully to me. I quickly padded over to him and tilted my head in respect; he nodded and signaled me to lie at his side. I guess you could say I was his protector.
"Hmm nice dog you have their, my Lord." Lucius said.
"She is not a dog she is a wolf and if anyone else calls her a dog I swear there will be consequences!" my uncle yelled. Lucius bowed his head.
"I'm sorry my lord." He started stepping closer to uncle and I and I could sense unease from uncle so I growled at Lucius's movement. He immediately stopped and took a step back. I even sounded terrifying to my own ears. Uncle looked down at me like he was proud and he patted my head. He knelt down beside me and very quietly whispered. "You can go home now pup. But remember when I need you I expect you to come immediately. Also I will not tell you not to tell anyone about your special gift all I am going to say is be very careful who you tell." With that I nodded and apparated to my house."
