Hey, I Had a really hard time figuring out where to go from the last chapter, but i think it all worked out. Anyways, i would really like to know what you think!
"Where is she?" A man in a dark cape shouted as he broke into the hut. "Ah, there she is." He stepped near me, having his men grab my brothers and Hagrid. He tried to pull me out of Scorpius` arms, but Scorpius fought back. Three men came over, and pulled us a part.
I was thrown into the arms of the man; he pulled up my face tracing it with the tip of his wand. "Who would have thought it would be this easy?" the man asked himself. He removed his hood and revealed a face, covered in scars and bruises. It was pale white. I recognized it, but I couldn't put a name to it. "Such a shame you have to go this way. You're such a pretty girl. Daddy would have loved to marry you off; a sweet face like yours would attract many a suitors.
He slid his hand to my shoulders. "You keep your hands off of her!" Scorpius shouted. They covered his mouth, and his eyes looked tortured and saddened. I scanned the room to see my brothers, Hagrid, and Scorpius mouths covered, held back, and wands on the ground. I was frightened, and the only thing I could think to do is fight the men off, or I was dead.
"let`s see what options we have. We could take you with us, and leave the rest here. Or you could fight us and all of you die." He said with a devious smile. "It`s your choice, my dear."
Fight and lose my brothers, and Scorpius, or go with them, and die myself. I couldn't bare to see them kill my family, and my love. I made my decision, and I knew I wouldn't be happy if I chose otherwise. "I'll go with you. Leave them alone, and I`m all yours."
"Wise decision." He let go of my face, and grabbed my wrist. "Let them go after I leave with the girl. We will meet in the dark tunnel." I paid little attention to the words he spoke. I looked at my brothers, Hagrid, and Scorpius, remembering their faces, trying not to cry over the fact I would never see them again. Scorpius`s eyes were filled with tears, I studied his face trying to uncover the message I could tell he so desperately wanted to tell me. I got out only four words before I was pulled away to the darkness of the night. "I love you all."
Once outside the door of the house, I was pulled thought the dark forest, tripping and stumbling over the vines and roots that lay on the untamed earth below my feet. Each fall bringing sharp pains of cuts and bruises, that were obtained from the rocks and roots scraping my shins and knees. The falls brought tugs at my wrist, as the impatient man pulled to keep up with his diligent pace. We went about a mile away from the castle grounds. I thought about how to escape, but I decided that it would be best that I didn't. I didn't want to put any one's life in danger, other than my own.
After what seemed like forever, we reached a large open field. I couldn't see much because of the lack of light, but I could see a large stone, and we were moving closer to it. The stone was carved with a mark that looked like a snake. The snake curved around a dark mark.
The man spoke some word I recognized to be parseltongue. The stone moved away and a dark tunnel appeared. The tunnel light up with a few words from his mouth. He dragged me through the tunnel into a large dungeon like room. It connected to a series of tunnels, and was filled with stone pillars and stone snakes. The room almost as my dad had described the chamber of secrets.
"Isn`t it lovely? It's the place of true slytherins, the place of those who are true and loyal pure bloods." I looked at the man's face in the dim light, Mulciber. I recognized the face, he was a death eater my father had told me about from the time I was little. He was never recognized by many, but he was a large contributor to the war. He wasn't very kind in school. He performed dark magic, and was very easily entertained by evil ways. He was the best friend of Severus Snape, but my grandmother didn't approve of it. Snape was he best friend and he loved her till the day he died, saving my father. Mulciber was taken to Azkaban after the war, but I guess he escaped. "I wish you didn't look some much like Lily Evens. It would be so much easier to kill you. Severus would have my head for killing you, but he isn't here though." He laughed maniacally once again. "Where are we?" I asked with a bitter tone. "You don't know? Your daddy didn't teach you very well Miss. Potter. This is the Chamber of Secrets." He looked at me with a proud face.
Why would you be proud of this place? I remembered the stories of how my dad saves mum from this place. There was a basilisk, I am very glad it's dead. I looked around the room. The walls were stone and looked like cold dirty ice. The floors looked hard and cold as well. What is with Slytherins and cold things?
We hear the others coming from the tunnel we entered though.
"Now, let me show you where you will be held." He grabbed my wrist harder, dragging me to a decorated stone wall, with a face on it. The mouth opened, and inside was a large room. It must have been the bed of the basilisk, because it contained larger snake skins. The room smelled like meat after being set in the sun and left for days. The room was dark except the light from a torch he lit. He threw me onto a chair, against the farthest wall. He hexed my wrist together behind the chair, and hexed my ankles as well. Then he put the torch toward the ground, and put a levitating charm on it. He walked out of the room, leaving me in the dark will just the little torch. The rest wasnt too exciting.
I sat and sat, and sat some more, thinking about how to get out, about my family, Scorpius, and how long I actually had.
I decided without a wand I was hopeless. Leaving the cellar would require to break the hex, and that wasn't going to happen. If I did get out, opening the door I need to know parseltongue. Albus or dad could do that, but I was hopeless there too. If I got through the door there were at least ten, armed with a wand, men. If I got past them, which wouldn't happen, I knew what tunnel to use, and where my wand was at, but I want the best at avaporating. I might end up in the wrong place or splinched, so that was a bad option. Leaving here would be a suicide mission, so I was best to stay here hoped to be saved, and if not, well I will be dead by morning, if I'm lucky.
My family was probably worried sick right now, especially mum. Albus will be beating himself up for not helping me, and James will be sulking in the corner, like the time his cat got ran over by the neighbor's car. Dad will be gathering family members and the old order to come look for me. He would be pulling on his black hair, removing his glasses and rubbing the bridge of his nose, trying everything to think of a plan. Mum would be pacing, yelling at dad to do something, and thinking about what to do as well.
My mind kept drifting; Scorpius was the next thing I thought of. The tears running down my cheeks from thinking of my family increased. I could see his sweet face, with the tears on his cheeks as I left a few hours ago, in my mind. I just wanted to tell him how much I loved him, and things would work out, even though I knew it was very unlikely. I felt a pull at my heart, he was my guardian angel, and he couldn't protect me here. I felt the loneliness set in, I was alone, my loved ones were far, my home was far, my school was right by me, but this wasn't the way I saw it. This was a different planet compared to Hogwarts. This was not where I spent my school year. where my best memories were. This wasn't where I was held by my brothers the first year I was away, and I so desperately wanted to go home. This wasn't where I had had sat at the fire place with Scorpius at the fireplace, talking about the future, about life after school. It wasn't where I cried into his chest in the hospital wing the night Albus got knocked of his broom and wouldn't wake up. This was before we were going out, but he was still there just as he always was. This was prison, a dungeon, a personal hiding place for satin, this wasn't Hogwarts.
I don`t know how long I sat there, but I was surely going to go mad. I tried to entertain myself, but it didn't last long. Looking around I remembered how my dad rescued my mum from here, well not this exact room, but the chamber. That would have been a great first date I thought sarcastically. I wonder if it was then she fell in love with him. She had always said she liked him, but she never said when it became love. I will have to ask if I get out of here. It makes me think of Scorpius, this concept of love. I love him so much. I know most people think I am too young, only sixteen, but I loved him like a brother, and it`s not weird for those feelings to change as you grow up. I have always loved him, in one way or another, philia, the love of close friends, and Storga, a family love, but as we grew closer and feelings changed it became more. I am not too young to love. I couldn't believe how my thought kept going back to hi, as much as I tried to stop thinking about it. Love, love could conquer all. At least that's what happened in the stories I read. That's what I heard from my parents, and that's what I heard when my dad mentioned dark magic. But the love that conquered had a cost, and that cost worried me. What was my cost? What would get me through this? Was what I know only true in fairy tale, or would the love find me and protect me?
So, what do you think?
I was planning on switching P.O.V. , so you could know what was going on with the others. It would get boring writing the next couple chapters about sitting in the chamber...
Please comment on who`s P.O.V. i should write from, and tell me what you think so far! thanks!
