Just for you Thoroughly Modern Philly...
Chapter 11
Two-dozen or so witches and wizards advanced through the woods towards the warehouses. Bill, Vance, and Doge, upon seeing them, left their locations and made their way towards the group.
Vance was the first to join their ranks. "There has been no movement outside the buildings with the exception of a few guards," she said when she reached Albus's side. "They are still within the center building as far as I know. It is the only building being patrolled."
Bill and Doge joined the group and both reported that they hadn't seen anything either.
As they approached the wood line, Albus brought everyone to a halt and they all crowded around him. "You all know the plan…," he gave a few last minute instructions before the large group split into three smaller groups and began to carry out their mission.
Loraine's head lolled to the side as her eyes cracked open. The light in the room, though dim, caused red-hot needles to prick her eyes and her head throbbed. Her hair was plastered to her forehead with sweat. Voldemorte's face floated into view, "Welcome back my dear. I wass beginning to worry." He ran a caressing hand over her cheek. Loraine flinched not only from his touch but also from the pain his hand caused as it pressed into the bruises forming on her face. "You can stop the pain whenever you want, all you have to do is ansswer my quesstionsss. We can start easssy with sssomething like, what iss your name?"
Loraine lifted her heavy head and peered at Voldemorte with heavy eyelids. "Oh, that'ss easssy," she slurred through a fat lip. "Al-Alvus…Dumildore."
"Prat!" Voldemorte snarled and punched Loraine in the gut. She doubled over in pain. The ropes binding her hands to the chair cut thin lines in her skin that began to bleed.
Screams could be heard from somewhere else in the building. Loraine painfully shut her eyes to the sound, trying to block it out.
"You sssee, you aren't the only one here. If you anssswer my quesstion, it would sstop your friendss pain too," Voldemorte, cheek to cheek with Loraine, whispered into her ear. He delighted in the shiver that the action caused throughout Loraine's body. "Do I disgusst you, my dear?"
With a whimper, Loraine tried to turn her head away, but his hand came up and cupped her opposite cheek, forcing her to remain in contact with his skeletal face. He gasped and pulled back, looking at her, "What iss this? Are these tearss running down your cheekss? Oh my, are we lossing hope that your preciousss friendss will come and save you? Just answer my question, and it can all be over."
Loraine allowed her head to fall to her chest. "We…we would rather die…then help you," she said with effort.
"Then perhapss we should kill you again," Voldemorte lost his patience and grabbing a handful of Loraine's hair he roughly pulled her head back. He snatched another vial from Snape and poured the contents down Loraine's throat. He began to laugh as her eyes widened in horror and a bloodcurdling scream escaped from her lips.
Thoroughly Modern Philly:I know, it's not an ADMM chapter, but believe me they are coming. The first one to look for is Chapter 14, and since I am posting a chapter a day, it is only a few days away. I posted this chapter so I could respond to you as well as give you a boost towards what you are looking for by posting two chapters today. Just so you know, Chapters 14, 16, and 17 are all very minor, ADMM, they really just give some hints into their feelings for each other. Chapter 18 is an actual ADMM chapter with the two of them together. Like I said in the beginning, right now it is deep adoration for each other, that means no confessions of love (yet). But Chapter 18 gives me lots of warm fuzzies inside everytime I reread it.
Thanks a million for your review! It is like pulling teeth trying to get people to review. I keep thinking to myself, 'does the story suck that bad?' :)
Oh, and horses are a passion of mine. The horse Lacie in the story is actually my horse, a little Arab mare. When I saw that you are in Pony Club, I thought you might like those chapters. Sorry about the wrong chapter, it was 3 not 2 that I meant to direct you to, my bad.
Anyways, I love reading your stories, so keep up the great work:)
