I will ruin you Cheyanne. I'll destroy you and make you watch your world crash down around you. You'll have nothing left to live for. Nothing.
I woke with a sharp gasp and shot up like a ninja. I quickly took in my surroundings - phew, it was just a dream. I'd fallen asleep on Draco's chest in the carriage.
"Chey? You alright?"
"Hm? wha-? Oh.. oh yeah, bad dream, that's all. I'm fine." I smiled. I lay back down and inhaled deeply. I always loved the smell of him - really musky with a hint of sweetness, much like him.
"Aw, okay, well don't go back to sleep, we're here" he nudged me softly and I sat up.
"Aha! Home!" I exclaimed, grinning.
Yes, home. My family manor. I felt a sudden rush of excitement at being back once again. The carriage took a sharp right and started up the long windy path towards the grand mansion. After what seemed forever we pulled up at the front of the house. Draco got out and held his hand out to help me down. The grand oak doors opened to reveal four scurrying house elves and my parents. The elves ran straight to the carriage to collect my things as Draco and I made our way towards the grand house.
"Cheyanne! Sweetie! Your here!" my mother said as she rushed forward to embrace me in a hug.
"Hey mom!" I said as i detatched myself from Draco and fell into my mom's arms. When we parted I went over to my father and hugged him aswell.
"Hey dad" I said, nestling myself into his chest - yes, I am a real daddy's girl.
"Come on Cheyanne, Draco! Come inside, inside. It's getting cold!" my mother exclaimed, rushing us all into the manor.
When I stepped through the oak doors, my hand entwined with Draco's once more, I felt a sudden jolt of excitement. It felt great to be back home once again. I continued to walk behind my parents with Draco at my side until we reached the drawing room. I sat on one of the many sofas with Draco whilst my parents sat on one opposite us. My mother took a delicate sip of some fine wine.
"Now, Cheyanne. I know that you've just arrived and are most likely tired, but we must discuss something very important" my mother said, a very serious look adorning her perfect porcelain face.
"Huh?" I said, extremely confused.
"Your 17th birthday of course!" she stated excitedly, the stern serious look falling away immediately.
Out of the corner of my eye I could see Draco grinning.
"Oh, right yeah."
"Well, as you may know, Cissy and I are insistent on organizing your party."
"Yeah, I heard." I said lightly, shooting a sideway look at Draco who was still grinning.
"Oh Cheyanne sweetie! It is going to be an amazing party! Cissy and I were discussing what we've organized so far and going by what we've got, people are going to be talking about it for months to come!"
"Seriously?" I half chuckled.
"Of course! Even your father and Lucius are involved now as well!"
I looked, startled at my father. "Really, dad? You hate organizing parties!" I started to laugh slightly.
"I know, but I haven't got anything to do with the organizing of it, my name has just been put down as someone who is involved." My father laughed.
"Mmhmm, okay." I laughed. "So, when are you planning my 'big' party for then mum?" I continued.
"A week today." She answered.
"Okay, well, I'm just away upstairs. I'll be down later. Cya."
I bid farewell to my parents and headed upstairs with Draco. We reached my bedroom and entered. I made my way over to my wardrobe and Draco spread himself comfortably across my bed on his front, cuddling one of my many cushions to his chest and looking up at me like a little puppy. I picked out an outfit and went into the bathroom to get changed. When I returned I found Draco in the same position reading one of my magazines. I stopped startled and burst out laughing.
"What are you doing Draco?" I was giggling uncontrollably.
"Learning how to do the smokey-eye look. Apparently it's really in right now." He looked up at me with an innocent smile.
"You know, now you mention it I think it would really suit you." I teased.
"You think?" his face lighting up jokingly.
"Of course!" I joked.
There was a knock at my door and Draco sat up. Still giggling I went and answered it to reveal my mother.
"Oh. Hey mom." I smiled. "What is it?" I asked.
"Just come up to tell you that Draco is wanted home at the moment and that Lucius and Cissy have invited us over for dinner tonight at 7:30, so wear something formal. Draco, you can use the fireplace in the drawing room to floo home if you wish." My mother smiled.
"Thank-you, yes I shall. I'll see you tonight then Chey, bye." He made his way over to me, kissed me lightly and headed downstairs. I stood listening for the whoosh of the mighty green flames that would swallow him and return him safely home.
Whooooooooooooooosh.
I smiled to myself.
"What are you smiling for?" my mom asked chuckling.
Lost in my own thoughts I hadn't even noticed that my mom had made herself comfortable on my bed.
"I'm just happy that I'm home." I admitted.
My mom stood up and made her way over to me. She pulled me into a hug and whispered into my ear.
"It's wonderful to have you back sweetie."
We broke apart and I made my way over to my bed. I got underneath the covers and made myself comfy.
"Is it okay if I take a little nap? I'm still quite tired." I explained.
"Of course you can, just remember though, we've got dinner tonight."
"Yeah, I'll set an alarm shall I?" I joked.
"If you wish" my mom smiled.
"Ha-ha okay, night!"
"Goodnight" my mom said as she closed the door behind her.
I set my alarm for 6:00. An hour to get ready? That should be long enough. Content with me being organized I settled down into a dreamlike state.
Enjoy what you've got now Cheyanne. Soon I will arrive and take it all away. Everyone who is closest to you and everyone you love will resent and hate you. You'll have nothing and no one. A lonely soul trapped in a lonely world.
There you go! Chapter 2! I know this chapter might be a bit boring but hang in there, this chapter was needed otherwise nothing else would really make sense.
Also, I'd really love to know what you thought of this story. Really means a lot.
