Okay, so I know this chapter is a little late, but I was really busy with school and stuff. I wrote the last 2 chapters before the 7th book came out so I still need to change the plot around a little. It wasn't what I expected. So here's the 3rd Chapter. I hope you like it.
Barty shoved her up cold stone stairs. Serena squirmed wildly causing Barty to slightly slip on the steps. Barty managed to continue up the stairs and reach the platform. Before them was a huge wooden door, a snake carved on both sides. Barty pushed Serena through the door. Serena fell, skinning her left elbow on the cold marble floor.
"Ms. Beckett, I have been expecting you" a cold voice spoke in the darkness.
Serena stood up, her wand out. Everything was dark. Suddenly the room was lit by small torches on the wall. Lord Voldemort slowly approached Serena.
"Well, well, you don't look scared my dear. Do you think someone will come and save you?" Voldemort chuckled.
"What do you want?" Serena kept her wand pointed at Voldemort.
Voldemort circled her, keeping firm eye contact.
"I want you to serve under me for a little while"
"I decline" Serena quickly said.
"No one declines the Dark Lord" Barty came up behind Serena and put his wand on her neck, holding her back with his one arm firmly grasping her hand behind her back.
"If you decline then you will lose your life and something more precious to you" Voldemort pointed to the wall on the right. The bricks went up revealing a cell with iron bars.
Serena grew a confused look on her face.
Inside the cell were Serena's mom and siblings.
"Let them go, they are no use to you!" shouted Serena.
"But my dear, then what would I use as leverage so you may serve me?" Voldemort quietly chuckled.
Serena heard the chuckles of other deatheaters in the room, standing at every corner, wands pointed out.
"Serena! Help us!" cried her little sister Jeanette.
"Quiet you!" shouted a deatheaters standing next to the cell.
"You don't want anything happening to them, would you now?" Barty whispered into Serena's ear.
Those words sent a shiver down her spine. Serena turned her face, hoping he wouldn't get closer.
"Name your conditions" said Serena
"You go on a little quest with one of my deatheaters, do what you are told. Your family goes free and unharmed if you succeed. If you don't succeed however…well then you know what lies ahead" Voldemort stepped in front of her. "Do we have a deal?"
Serena thought of her future. I'll agree, and when he needs me the most, I will escape and come back for my family and run away. Yes that's what I will do!
"Deal" replied Serena. "Let me go to my family"
Voldemort nodded and Barty let go. Serena ran over to the cell.
Her mother came up to her. A slight tear ran down Serena's face.
"Don't worry mama…I will come back for you and Dad…and" Serena became speechless.
"Where is dad?" she asked her mother.
Serena's mom shook her head and started sobbing… "Serena…your dad is gone. He died…trying to protect us" The sobbing got louder, and then Serena slumped down on the floor next to her mother who was holding her hand behind the bars. Her eyes watered up. Serena started sobbing as well. Serena felt her mom hand her something and close her hand.
Be strong Serena….now is the time to protect your family.
"Mama, I will come back for everyone…I will come back for dad as well" and with that Serena stood up and blew a kiss to her family. Still sobbing she walked over to Voldemort and gave him to most resentful look she could create.
"Do not look at me like that!" Voldemort took out his wand and slapped Serena across the face. "I am not one to be disrespected."
A red mark lined Serena's cheek. She remained standing, a few more tears slid down her check burning where the line was.
"Crouch!" called Voldemort
"Yes my lord?" Barty stood in front of Voldemort and bowed.
"Retrieve what I asked you to, and take Ms. Beckett with. I give you permission to do what you want with her, just make sure cooperates.
"I will not disappoint you my lord"
Barty grabbed Serena's arm and they both apparated.
Serena sat down in a chair by the window over looking Harry's hideout, in Grimmuald Place. She knew he was there, but Barty did not. This was his post.
I wish I didn't have to do this.
She could hear Barty Crouch Jr. talking to a couple of deatheaters in the corner of the room. Serena stood up and walked towards the back of the torn down apartment.
"What are you doing?" asked Barty.
"I'm tired…I would like to go to sleep"
"Very believable, not trying to escape are we?"
"No, like I told you I'm just very tired" Serena gave him a resentful look.
"Sorry missy, but my orders, you stay close to me all the time" Barty smiled wickedly and did his tongue trick.
Serena turned around quickly from disgust and then proceeded toward the couches were Barty and the deatheaters now sat.
"You picked out a cute one there Barty" said another deatheater.
Barty chuckled. "Isn't she?" he smirked and winked at Serena.
"The Dark Lord has a mission for us gentlemen, we start tomorrow morning"
"Well then, we better get going. Get a goodnights rest Ms. Beckett, your going to need it. Keep an eye out for the house." The two deatheaters apparated.
Barty stared at her for a while.
"I don't play games Crouch" said Serena.
"That's too bad, its loads of fun" replied Barty
"Easy for you to say. One cannot have fun when they have just been kidnapped, and their family is being held hostage" Serena sighed.
Serena stood up and went by the window and look outside. The house below had lights on. Through the window she could see flashes of the TV as the channels were constantly changing. There own hideout was dreadful. Ripped couches, scarce food, and graffiti all over the place. The only light was coming from a spare wand on the table and the moonlight. She heard Barty's footsteps behind her.
"If only you joined after you came out of Hogwarts."
"I chose not to, my family never supported him" replied Serena.
"Tisk, tisk, maybe I could have met your pretty face earlier" Barty leaned against the window pane and folded his arms.
"Oh yes. You're very sweet" said Serena sarcastically.
"People say I'm charming for an evil guy"
Serena had to chuckle at that.
"Is that so? You're also pretty sweet for taking a poor innocent young lady hostage and forcing her to do evil" Serena started walking toward her temporary makeshift mattress in the corner of the room.
"I'm just doing my job" said Barty.
Serena gave him a dirty look and then sat down on her bed. She twirled the object her mom gave her….a ring. Serena slipped it on and it glowed in the moonlight. Somehow this would help her…her mom knew what lied ahead.
Serena saw Barty lay down on the couch. Within minutes Serena closed her eyes and fell asleep on the mattress.
So I hope you liked this chapter. More funny, romantic, and adventurous chapters coming up. Please review.
