Chapter 10: The first mission
The burning ceased, the Dark Lord put away his wand and Samantha rose to her feet. "Samantha Lestrange, I hereby declare you officially a Death Eater, one of us. Welcome to the ranks, may the Dark be with you." Samantha smiled and looked at the Dark Lord with pure joy. She turned around th face the other Death Eaters. Her parents looked at her with pure joy, they were so incredibly proud of her daughter. The other Death Eaters looked very intrigued, they had also seen Samantha's special Dark Mark. Samantha slowly walked back to the table, as did the Dark Lord, and both of them took their respective seats, the official meeting could now begin, with a new, official Death Eater, in their midst.
All the Death Eaters present as well as the Dark Lord himself sat in the living room. They would be discussing a new mission which would take place just a few hours later. "My friends, today is one of those days I wish to make ourselves known. As you may know, the ministry thinks we are laying low because we are in hiding because the 'ministry has the upper hand'. Well, they clearly have not. I have for you, a small, yet important mission. I assume you all know miss Bones, head of magical law enforcement?" affirmative nods followed "Two words for this mission, men… Kill. Her. Do NOT come back without good news. Your mission leader, is Antonin Dolohov." No one gave any sound of disapproval. "And with this, I close this meeting. You can discuss the mission with Dolohov. For now, get out." After that, all Death Eaters left the room.
"So, let us get through the plan once more" Antonin Dolohov spoke to his 'colleagues'. Malfoy will cast anti-apparition wards as soon as we arrive on scene. After that, Alecto will take down any wards and other magical defenses which are casted upon, or around the house. Once done, we will raid the house, and whoever gets the chance, will kill miss Bones. Understood?" Everyone nodded. "We will leave in five minutes", Dolohov spoke. This was the end of their meeting. With that, they apperated to the Bones Estate.
All Death Eaters, including Samantha Lestrange, were all cloaked and hidden behind their respective conjured mask. Once they apperated to the corner of the street where the Bones estate was located, Lucius malfoy whispered the needed spell "Non videri aut abiici, vos manere!" and so, the anti-apparition wards, or nets, how people liked to call them, were set up. Next, the Death Eaters used the shadows to their advantage, advancing to the bones residence. During their advance, Alecto stayed behind, taking down the wards with complicated incantations and wand movement. Once Alecto was done, they heard a loud "BANG!". All Death Eaters froze for a minute, before they found out that this was the signal for a ward breach. "GO!" Dolohov shouted, and Samantha Lestrange urged forward, and wandlessly blasted open the door, leaving some of the Death Eaters in awe. "Make this fast, men. We don't want any trouble this time" Dolohov softly spoke.
The Death Eaters entered the house and almost immediately, shouts of "Protego!" could be heard from several Death Eaters. The Bones family had unexpected visitors whom were fair duelists. Dolohov, Malfoy and Rodolphus immediately began firing Killing Curses and Blood Boiling Hexes on the visitors, and thus were stuck in a heavy duel. Samantha and her mother advances upstairs in the house and found both madame Bones Senior and the junior child. Amelia Bones, the mother of Susan Bones, screamed loudly before casting a strong shield "Protego horribilis!". The younger Susan, which was not prepared for this and did not have her wand within reach, tried to hide under her bed. However, it was all of no use.
Samantha had, after dodging several stunners and surprisingly, avoiding a Killing Curse from the woman, managed to disarm her. She broke Amelia bones' wand and pointed her own wand at the mother. "Avada Kedavra!". All what was seen, was a flash of green light. All what was heard, was a scream from young Susan and the final scream of Amelia before her life was ended. Bellatrix left to help other Death Eaters downstairs, when Samantha noticed young Susan hiding under the bed. Samantha completely vanished the bed with a quick wave of her hand. She aimed her wand at the child. Instead of immediately using the Killing Curse, she decided to follow her mother's advice and shouted "Crucio!".
Susan screamed and screamed as she was in terrible, terrible pain. Samantha, with her blood running through her body, was completely fueled b the Dark Arts and the hatred she harbored for the light for long already. She placed more magic and emphasis on the spell and increased it three times. The screams of the child were now nerve breaking, but to Samantha, it was music in her ears. "Oooh yes, young Susan! Scream, SCREAM! We are back and you know it! Also, your mother was a coward!" Samantha taunted the young girl as Samantha increased the strength of the spell once more. Samantha held the spell going for five minutes straight. The other Death Eaters were finished with their business. Samantha cancelled the torture spell and quickly stroke over her Mark, looking it in the ruby eye. Almost immediately, she felt a response from elsewhere. The Dark Lord had explained the capabilities of her special Mark. One of them was that she could converse directly with her Lord.
Samantha spoke in Parsletoungue "My lord, everyone is dead, only the young child Susan Bones is still alive. I have tortured her for five minutes. Do I need to kill her? I do not mind, but if we let her live, it will set a good example and shake the wizarding world" she suggested. Almost immediately, her Lord replied. "Let her live". That is all what he said and he broke the connection. Samantha walked to the window in the bedroom, pointed her wand in the air and shouted "MORSMORDRE!" and the Dark Mark shot from her wand, into the air. This was the sign for Lucius to cancel the anti-apparition wards. Seconds later, all Death Eaters were long gone. They all apperated to their own house, they were never to return to their Lord after a mission unless specifically instructed. Samantha, as well as all the other Death Eaters, felt extremely satisfied. Samantha especially, as it was her very first mission. And even though she had not led the mission, she had played a big part in it, as she was the one to kill their target and she was the one who came up with the idea to make a statement from the Dark to the wizarding world. All other Death Eaters were just happy for the fact that the mission had been a great success and that not a single Death Eater was killed, despite the usage of Killing Curses, by Death Eaters and the Light Wizards alike.
Samantha, exhausted from the mission, did not even speak with her parents but immediately retreated to her bedroom where she fel on her bed and dozed off to sleep instantly. Her parents understood their daughter's exhaustion, and let her be. They both were extremely proud of their daughter. Rodolphus and Bellatrix Lestrange went to bed with a warm feeling of love and proud.
