Shuddering she clutched the toliet seat and circled her body around it.
Hesitantly Tweaky handed her a towell before standing cautiously at the door way.
Her eyes dwindling in pain.
"You can go Tweaky"
"But miss-"
"Don't get in trouble ...go" she muttered weakly holding up a hand to silence her.
Regrettfully Tweaky left.
Her vision became hazy and she could faintly make out the door.
Then she felt her hair being pulled back and someone pressing a towell being pressed to her forehead unable to look up she whispered "thank you.
Next she felt herself being lifted onto her bed and covered with a blanket.
A bottle was pressed to her lips and without question she drank it.
Moments later her fever lowered and the vomiting seised.
Slowly she could make out the darkness of her bedroom.
Their stood her cousin Riley.
He had a concerned expression across his handsome features.
"Well cuz ...what does the other guy look like?" He winkied turning the chair in front of her and sitting in it.
Not able to even force a smile she had tears welling in her eyes from the amount of effort that she was unable to produce.
He put a hand to her cheek.
"What's wrong Kiddo?"
Helena said nothing.
"Lenny who did this to you? You have scars all over your back and you had a broken rib!"
Helena slowly raised her eyes to look into his letting him see the vuneralbility.
He shook slightly in pain.
She turned away from him and starred at the ground.
"Why would she do this?" He whispered pulling her face towards his.
"I disobeyed her"
"What do you mean?"
"I was told to go to a party and i didn't with a boy she liked and she got mad" Helena explained trying to play it off as natural.
He looked worried and he should be.
"Has she ever done this before?"
"No" Helena lied expertly look forcing a look of innocence on her sickly pale face.
"Well i have to get back i just was going to let you know ahead of time i won't be able to chrash the Lestrange wedding with you this weekend but seeing as that is the least of your worries owl me when you get better. If i don't get an owl i will pick you up and take you with me but only if it's an emergency.
I would right now but your mom saw me come in so she would know-"
"It's fine Riley get out of here, go enjoy your youth while it lasts" Helena insisted feebly.
Riley looked less than happy but knowning that there was nothing he could do he left her.
As everyone always did.
As everyone always would.
Faintly she could hear her favorite song comming from her muggle radio she has stashed under her bed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly it hit her like a ton of bricks.
Her mother did this on purpose to belittle her so she wouldn't be a fight when she pick a husband for her.
One fatal flaw in this plan was (as usual) she underestimated her.
'Who needs them? I am fine on my own. Less complications.'
Still pale and sick she happily hugged her pillow knowing that her mother had almost succeded in beating it out of her.
Laughing silently she couldn't believe she almost fell for it.
Her mother was trying to isolate her to make her weaker but what she didn't realize is that it only made her stronger.
Smirking weakly she cuddled with her pillows.
Oh she would act aprioprately alright.
The next day was the first day of the Lestrange wedding festivites.
Orignally she had fought it saying she would sooner become a vegiteran than be near those stuck up twits but now
she would show she had 'change' of 'heart'.
Turning up her music she fell asleep contently still pale.
Normally Helena would put up a fight and pout the entire time.
Her mother had no idea what she was in for and that was the most pleasant fact of all.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I opened my eyes and saw that I was on a train.
I didn't remember getting on a train.
Rubbing my eyes I went down the corridor looking for her mother.
Then I spotted her talking to Mrs. Black in a large compartment.
Knocking first I walked in and gave my mother a confused look.
"You were dead asleep i couldn't wake you so i had Albert carry you"
I nodded droisly and sat next to her.
Mrs. Black servade me with an expression i couldn't quite fathom.
I started back not afraid.
Her lips curved into a sneer.
"I see you are going for the...natural look"
"Yes well i find that make up just hides your features with powder" I answered tonelesly.
My mother forced out a laugh while Mrs. Black eyed me.
"I should introduce you to my son-"
"I know Sirius" I smiled.
Mrs. Black narrowed her eyes.
"Yes Sirius seems to have a very wide variety of friends"
"Is he here?" I asked knowning what buttons i was pushing.
"Yes he is here with Regulus."
"Oh well I better get changed imagine if someone saw me in my pajams. The things the would say" "Always a pleasure Mrs. Black" I smiled lethally.
"As always Helena the pleasure was mine" She replied in the same tone.
Smirking i strode down the hall back to my compartment.
I was wearing a bra, a overly large Blondie T shirt and a pair of black sweats.
My hair was down and not brushed so i'm sure Mrs. Black will toture my mother later with my sloppy image for years.
Let's cry over it shall we?
Yawning i closed my compartment door to find Sirius laying on the sofa.
"Can i help you?"
"Hey Cabott" He smirked shaking my hand.
I sat across from him lazily.
"So you as excited as I am?"
"Oh yeah" He rolled his eyes brushing back his hair carelessly.
"So what you doing in here?"
"Well i was looking for an empty compartment and i saw the name on the luggage so i decided to room with ya"
"Fine" I sighed on concernedly closing my eyes.
He soon fell asleep as did I so when Lestrange came in slamming the door we both woke with a start.
Sirius grabbed his wand and stood while I groaned not moving.
"What do we have here? Is this the Blood traitors compartment?"
"Lestrange do you even know how to spell compartment?" Sirius sneered back.
"Boys break it up"
"Of course the Gryffindor slut speaks up"
I laughed and sat up sleepily.
"Okay if you are going to call me names i prefer whore"
"Whatever name fits" He spat at me condesendingly.
"Sirius sit down and Lestrange i'm sure that your due for Bellatrix to help you jerk off so i bid you ado" I smiled simply shutting the door.
I layed back down lazily but i could still hear Sirius laughing quietly.
"I love you Cabott"
"Don't let your mother hear you say that."
