Sorry I haven't updated in so long. My life has been so insanely busy. Luckily exams are over and I am going to try to spend more time on my writing, fanfics and originals. Anyways here is the prologue… enjoy.

Sheanna, Aya's mother's, POV

"Shhhh…" I whispered to my sweet daughter, picking her up from her crib and attempting to calm her cries of worry. We had to leave immediately. Tom had died earlier that night and now the Aurors were everywhere, searching. There were many Death Eaters who had been captured and sent to Azkaban already. I was scared for the well-being of my daughter. What would they do if they found the daughter of the Dark Lord?

I had loved Tom deeply, many years ago. But he had become… not himself lately. He now went by "Lord Voldemort" and he deeply frightened me. I had tried to accept the things he did, though. Love could hold you to the strangest things, including staying, and having a daughter with the most wanted and feared, murderer in the wizarding world.

I had been staying in our house on the outskirts of Little Hangleton for four months now with my Aya. We lived alone and were forbidden to leave. I hardly ever saw Tom anymore, except when he would come to briefly explain his missions and our escape route in the case that he failed.

*Flashback* Earlier that night…

"Sheanna, as per usual, I came to give you a debrief of what is to happen tonight. You shall stay in this house unless otherwise notified by one of my trusty servants. Do you understand?" Tom's eyes bore into mine.

"Y-yes sir" I muttered, to afraid to do much else. I was really starting to dread his visits. I almost wish he would leave us alone to live in peace, but I would never say that aloud.

"Good. I am glad that you understand." He had now taken Aya out of my arms, though I was reluctant to let him, and was cradling her against his chest. "If something were to happen to my only heir I do not know what I would do."

I nodded to show my understanding. He did not even care for her. He just wanted somebody of his own blood to take over his place if something were to happen to him.

"I am going to the Potter residence tonight." He said coldly, "I doubt anything should happen but if so I want you to wait for the signal." Before another word was said, he shoved Aya back into my arms and apparated to his destination. I did not understand what "the signal" was but I would be on the lookout all night.

*End of flashback*

I was now running through the forest as fast as I could with Aya cradled tightly in my arms, and a black box resting on her stomach. This box contained a letter from me, if something should happen, I wanted her to know I loved her. The box also contained a small book of spells and a locket.

I could hear somebody shouting from behind me. They were gaining fast. If they found me I would surely be sent to Azkaban, as Tom had made sure I had the Dark Mark imprinted on my arm. Suddenly I stopped by a small hole in the side of a tree large enough to conceal Aya but small enough not to be seen by any passer-by's. I had bought myself some time by turning off of my path. I tucked a blanket under the tree and set Aya down in hope that she would be found before she starved to death. I set the box beside her small figure and pulled out my wand.

"I love you Aya, more than anything in the world." I whispered before turning around to complete my task. I did not have enough time to escape now and I was too frightened of Azkaban to let myself be found… alive.

I pointed my wand towards my chest and whispered the words I had heard Tom use many times before.

"Avada Kedavra" I saw a flash of green light and dropped my wand. It rolled under the tree beside Aya and then I saw nothing.

Bellatrix's POV

Great. Just great. He chose tonight to die? Seriously? I was really starting to hate that stupid Potter child. Now what were we all supposed to do except for spend the rest of our pathetic lives being chased around by Aurors?

I was supposed to tell Sheanna about this, but by the time I got to the house she was already gone. The Aurors must have already been here and knowing Sheanna, she probably took off at the first sight of them. I didn't really know her very well but I did know that she would rather choose flight over fight.

I ran into the forest desperately trying to find them. I knew Voldemort would kill me if I let his only heir die, as well as him.

"Crap!" I whispered as I almost ran straight into a group of Auror's who were all crowded around something… or somebody. I hid behind a tree and waited for them to leave with what I saw was Sheanna's body. As soon as they were gone I stood up and looked around. Surely they wouldn't leave a Death Eater's child alone in the forest. Unless… they couldn't find her.

I desperately began searching for where Sheanna must have placed her when I heard a small cry from the tree right beside me. I looked down to see Sheanna's wand sitting beside a box, and beside that box was the child. I picked the wand, the box and the child up in my arms and flew as fast as I could to a dark alleyway in Little Hangleton, where I ditched my broom. I began walking down the street as fast as I could, clutching the child tightly. Suddenly the child began to whimper. If she started to cry now our cover would be totally blown. But of course luck wasn't on my side as the stupid thing's cries got louder. I had to ditch it somewhere or I would be caught. I could just leave it on the street… but then Lucius would probably kill me himself.

Suddenly I looked up and all my worries were gone. "Little Hangleton Orphanage" read the sign above my head. I could dump the baby here, it could grow up, and Lucius could come collect it when it was old enough. Perfect! I still couldn't believe how smart I was. I opened the black box, dumped the wand in with the other belongings and set it, along with the kid on the door step. I rung the doorbell and left the tell the Malfoy's immediately about the child. Unfortunately, in my glee, I did not see the shadow following at a steady pace behind me.

"Why?" Lucius shouted at me, after my brief explanation of what had happened.

"I didn't want to go to Azkaban! Why else? And the stupid thing was going to give me away!" I screeched back.

"Can you at least tell us where the child is?" Narcissa chimed in.

"In an orphanage, I already told you." Why didn't they understand?

"What orphanage? What town?" If Cissy didn't shut up I swear I was going to tear her head off! Luckily Lucius butted in.

"It's not safe to speak here. There could be Aurors watching the manor. I suggest you leave Bella. Send us an owl in the next week with more information on the whereabouts of the child." He said ushering me out of the door.

"Fine," I spat, "But don't expect much."

I took out my wand and apparated home to Rodolphus, only to later find that I had led the Aurors straight to my home.
