Warmth was all I could feel. I felt the weight of quilts on top of me. Silk sheets enveloped me, kissing my skin with it's softness.

"Your awake." Came his voice again. I should have known that I was still here. Slowly, I opened my eyes. Nothing but darkness met me. "Good."

"Where are you?" I closed my eyes, finding them utterly useless. A sinking feeling came at the end of the bed, as someone sat down.

"Right in front of you." I sat up, still not opening my eyes. I could feel a hand on my leg as he sat closer to me.

"How long have I been here?"

"Not as long as I would like."

Opening my eyes, I looked to see him there at the edge of the bed. His red eyes stared back at me as I readjusted myself. He crawled to the other side of the bed and just kept staring at me.

"What is it you want?" I growled, getting up off the bed. "What is it?"

"Have you ever noticed, Artemis, how you are so gifted in Occulmency?" He got off of the bed and followed me. Cat and mouse. "It's because you are a part of me."

My knees bumped into a chair. I was flung into the seat as he put his hand on either side of it, pinning me there. I couldn't get away! He settled down in front of me as I stared at him. No fear, I felt no fear as I looked at the heartless demon in front of me.

"When you were younger, the night I killed your mother, I gave you a piece of me: my soul, as it is. That is why you have the extraordinary ability to read other's minds. That is why it is so crucial that you remain alive. That is why I had you lure Potter here."

"So you could kidnap me and tell me that I was your soul?"

"I plan to let you go. Just not at the moment."

His lips (or where his lips should be) came so close to me, I could smell him. His sweet scent of lavender. His warmth was near me as he trailed a hand down my upper thigh.

"So, I'm just your horcrux." Gritting my teeth, I growled as started to kiss my neck. My breathing hitched as his teeth scraped across my skin. My blood boiled as started to treat me like I was nothing but property. His property.

"No. If you were just a horcrux, you would be like the many objects that my soul lies in. you are my secret soul. You are mine."

"I am no one's," His long, slender fingers trailed under my nightgown. I could feel his fingers trailing down the length of my thigh. "I am certainly not yours." I moved away from his touch as much as I could, all to no avail.

"We'll see, Miss Black." His lips curled up into a sneer against my neck.

Goosebumps popped up against my skin as I felt his cold, long fingers trail through my lower sensitive parts. My body responded to him, as much as I tried to stop it. I tried so hard to keep to myself, but he continued to push me farther and farther.

No, NO! He can't have me! He can't treat me like I'm some whore! He can't reat me as if I'm his property!

His lips left my neck. I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen, as something went into me. I gritted my teeth, willing myself not to cry, not to scream. That's all he wanted; my screams, my tears. He wouldn't have me like that. He didn't get to treat me like this!

His weight shifted to one side and I quickly made my way from the chair, escaping his grasp and his hold on me. Black was all I could see; making it hard for me to move around. I stumbled over more chairs, trying to find the door before he could do anymore to me.

"Where do you think your going?"

I was forced back down onto the bed as he pinned me down on the mattress.

"Let me go." Growling at him, his red eyes showed his hatred towards me. They showed how everything he despised at the moment was me. And he just wanted to show me how much he truly hated me for it.

"Don't you get it?" His laugh reverberated throughout the small room. "You are mine, and so long as our alive, that's the way it will remain."

A blood-curdling scream made it's way out of my throat. The pain was unbearable! I could feel myself slipping out of conscientious as he put a curse on me.

Somebody help me.
