'Is she awake?' I heard Rodolphus ask Lucius.

I was indeed awake, but I'll be damned if I let them know it. I think I'm doing a pretty good job too. All relaxed and breathing in a nice , steady and slow kind of way.

'Yeah.' Lucius answered. 'But she's pretending to be asleep.'

Fuck. Damn Lucius. Damn him to the pits of hell.

As Rodolphus came closer to be, I jolted myself up, grabbing the sheets with me, to cover myself up. I backed myself as far as I could against the wall.

'You're right, Lucius.' Rodolphus said, pleased. 'She is awake.'

'Nothing gets past me, my friend.' Lucius replied.

'The sheets do no good, Anne. I can easily rip them away from you.' Rodolphus said.

I opened my out, trying to yell but all that came out was a raspy noise.

I flinched and my hands up to my throat, massaging it. I must've lost my voice from all the screaming last night.

Rodolphus started at me, mockingly.

'I think she'll need a potion for that, Lucius.'

'I think so.'

Rodolphus kissed me, and I cringed. Then he got up.

'Take care of her, will you? I'm gonna go see Bella.'

And with that, Rodolphus left.

I didn't know whether I was supposed to be relieved that he was gone, or terrified because he left me alone with Lucius. I hugged the sheets closer to my body.

However, Lucius didn't come closer to me. He was rummaging through his stuff before handing me some clothes.

'Here, I don't know how well these will fit you.' Lucius said, throwing me a black skirt and a white blouse.

I threw the sheets over my head and quickly got dressed underneath them. there was no way I'll be changing in front of Lucius.

The blouse and skirt were both too short and too tight, but still, it fit. I had a feeling Lucius did that on purpose.

'Come here, I'll give you some potions and heal you.'

I didn't want to go anywhere near Lucius. Not after what he did last night.

Lucius rolled his eyes at me. 'I'm not going to hurt you now.'

I shook my head at him and attempted to start yelling. My throat hurt.

Lucius spoke in that horrid drawling voice of his. 'Anne, I'm not hurting you. I need to get you fixed.'

It's funny. I used to like the way Lucius spoke. Now, I hate it.

When I still didn't budge, Lucius just came close to me. I tried getting away from him, unfortunately, I got tangled in the sheets and fell off the bed, hard.

I groaned. Or at least tried.

Lucius used his wand to untangle me.

'Why in Merlin's name are you so jumpy for?' Lucius snapped. 'I told you I wasn't going to hurt you. Now why don't you trust me?'

I looked at him in disbelief. Is he kidding? Was he not raping me just last night?!

I need my voice back. I need to start screaming at Lucius now.

I stopped struggling and he gave me a couple of potions to drink. Smelly, awful tasting, thick, and incredibly gross looking potions.

Crinkling my nose and shutting my eyes, I gulped them all down. I nearly choked on the last one, but I managed to gulp it down, eventually. Then Lucius healed my broken nose and healed several bruises and cuts I had.

When he finished, I took a deep breath and tested out my voice.

'WHY DON'T I TRUST YOU?! AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO ME LAST NIGHT!?! YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO ASK WHY I'M SO JUMPY?! YOU CONCEITED LITTLE – '

'Silencio.' Lucius said, casually.

UGH! Not this again!

'You're not making this easy on yourself, Anne. this is your life and there are certain things you must endure.'

Endure? ENDURE?! What? I'm supposed to get used to being publicly raped?!

'I told you Rodolphus was lying to you.'

How dare he just stand there acting all superior! He is just as bad as Rodolphus!

With another wave of his wand, I was able to talk again. I kept my voice low, knowing that if I didn't, Lucius would only silence me again.

'You may have been right but so was Rodolphus! He told me you would be the first of his friends to rape me!' I whispered, accusingly.

'I never said I wouldn't.' Lucius said, simply.

What was wrong with these people? How do they take such evil activities so lightly? As if it was nothing? As if it was an everyday normal occurrence in daily life.

'But you said that you...' I trailed off.

What was the point?

But Lucius wouldn't let it go. 'That I loved you?'

I didn't say anything. Why would I even want to bring that up? Narcissa was my closest friend.

That simple fact made me feel pathetic. My rapist's fiancé was my closest friend. Narcissa was also my other rapist's fiancé's sister.

Oh god. What a sick, twisted world I got myself into.

My Father's words suddenly came to mind. God help you if you ever get sucked in their pure blood obsessed world.

I shook my head. 'Forget it.'

'Love means nothing in this world, Anne.' Lucius told me. 'What difference does it make whether I love you or not? You belong to Rodolphus and I have Narcissa. So why, if I cannot call you mine, would I pass up the opportunity to pleasure myself at your expense?'

I don't think even Sirius knows how perverse these people are. There's no way he would've let me come back here if he knew this was going to happen. I can't even believe they're human.

'The lot of you are mental!' I exclaimed.

'You just don't understand.' Lucius said.

Now he just sounded bored.

'Here, though. I've got something for you.' Lucius said, out of nowhere.

He reached into his pocket and pulled something out.

It was a tiara.

Lucius held it out to me and in return, I gave him a puzzling look.

'We'll take very good care of you, Anne.'

Now I understood.

'What? A few pieces of jewellery are supposed to make everything okay?'

'The books, the jewellery, the broom, the clothes and accessories.' Lucius listed. 'Not to mention the protection, training and the many other benefits you receive now and shall continue to receive.'

Now it all made sense. All the gifts and everything. I suddenly understood why I was on the Quidditch team. They must've all played me from the start. This is why everyone always tried warning me, to see how faithful and in love I actually was to Rodolphus. This was why Rabastan convinced me to tell Rodolphus my true feelings, so he'll know just how far he can take things.

Bellatrix and Narcissa must've just been pawns in their little game. No wonder they seemed to encourage Narcissa's friendship with me. No wonder they loved pinning Bellatrix and me against each other.

They must've all had a good laugh about me. I did everything they wanted me to. I fell for each and every little one of their tricks.

'You guys truly are cunning.' I said to Lucius. 'By comparison to you guys, I don't even know how I made it into Slytherin.'

Lucius smiled cruelly at me. 'You made it too easy, Anne.'

These people were still in school and yet, they all had such brilliant minds.

'Some things were really bad, though.' Lucius told me. 'Evan really did fall for you, Rodolphus and he do dislike each other now, Narcissa became friends with you on her own will, Bellatrix hates you because of Rodolphus, and everyone else? Let's just say we really grew to like you. I've got to say, that really did complicate things. Everyone was conflicted for a while. But in the end, what can I say? You were just too irresistible to us.'

I laughed. I must be losing my mind. Nothing about this situation was funny, but I laughed anyways.

There was no way the Purebloods were losing this war. Soon enough, these people were going to rule the world. I might as well make the best of my situation. Who knows? Maybe one day, they'll let me rule with them.

'I'm so worth so much more than just a tiara.' I said to Lucius, taking the beautiful silver and diamond diadem from him.

I placed it on my head.

Lucius laughed. 'Believe me, Anne, when the war is done, Rodolphus and I will see to it that you will be the most prized and cherished Pureblood girl in the world. But only if you're a good little girl.'

I smiled. Sirius was right, there was no escape from them. He and I both know, deep inside, we'll both eventually have to succumb to their wishes. I might as well get my head start.

**

I laughed and my hands as Dolohov got slammed back into the wall.

The guys were practicing their duelling skills. Rookwood and Dolohov would be graduating very soon and they needed all the practice the can get. So far, Rookwood was doing very well against his duel with Dolohov.

It surprised me, I always thought Dolohov was stronger.

'Enjoying yourself, mistress?' Rodolphus asked, kissing me lightly.

I nodded, enthusiastically. 'Very much so.'

Rodolphus wrapped his arms around me and whispered into my ear. 'I knew you were special. My loyal, faithful Anna.'

'I love you.' I whispered back.

Rodolphus raised his eyebrow at me, and smirked.

I smiled innocently at him.

He lets me say I love you now. Their treatment of me has gotten much better. They let me do anything now!

Lucius was right, as long as I loyal. I'd have everything. I've got them all wrapped around my finger.

'Anddddddd we have a winner!' Lucius yelled.

I looked up to see Rookwood on the ground, groaning.

I burst into laughter. 'I can't believe I missed that!'

'You're up, Anne.' Dolohov said, seating himself beside Rodolphus.

I got my wand, which I finally got back a while ago and proceeded to the other side.

I'm going to be duelling Lucius.

They have been training me for the past couple of months. I'm quite a brilliant witch, if I do say so myself.

I've never won against any of them though. I've injured them quite a lot, but in the end, I end up looking far worse.

'Ready?' Lucius drawled.

I nodded, and we both bowed.

'Impendimentia!' I yelled.

A burst of light shot threw my wand, but Lucius deflected it, before seding a orange light at me.

I deflected that and smirked.

I've gotten much better at duelling.

I can even do wandless and non verbal magic. I can do all the Unforgivable Curses on cue as well. I've mastered how to control my power and I've mastered the quantity of power I wish to use.

These guys have been amazing to me.

Suddenly, I fell onto the floor, screaming in pain.

I'm not letting Lucius win that easily.

Summoning my power, I sent a curse at Lucius. It hit him and he was slammed onto the floor.

The pain stopped and I stood up.

I gave Lucius an evil smile. 'Crucio.'

Lucius's eyes rolled to the back of his head. At first, this sight used to terrify but now I'm quite used to it. I laughed watching Lucius squirm. I knew I wouldn't win the duel, I never do. Still, I might as well have some fun, because when Lucius gets his hands on me, I'm so dead.

Lucius didn't scream. All of them refuse to scream when I curse them. They don't want to be demeaned by a mere school girl. It's fine, I'm quite used to it by now. I know I cause them pain and that's all that matters to me.

I'm strong now. I'm powerful.

Lucius was biting down on his tongue. I can see the blood dripping down his mouth.

He was shaking on the ground, trying not to scream.

So much fun.

Somehow, I'm not sure how. Lucius managed to yell out a curse, and I flew back against the wall. I dropped my wand.

Well, I'm dead now.

Lucius walked towards me, smirking triumphantly, before raising his wand.

'Crucio.'

**

I still needed some time to myself every once in a while. And today, it seemed Rodolphus was in a good mood. He let me leave and allowed me to wander about. I headed outside.

It was so beautiful at Hogwarts during the night.

I heading to the Whomping Willow. I had come here several times. Leave to Sirius and his to find a secret hideout.

I never got the chance to ask him how he found it, but it didn't matter. I'm sure they wouldn't mind sharing the place with me.

I looked up. The sun was setting, it will be night time soon.

I remembered how Sirius stopped the Whomping Willow. And with no effort, I was soon inside in.

I hear storied about how the shrieking shack was haunted. I mean, it was a fairly creepy place. It looks like someone or something had completely destroyed the place. There were slashes everywhere I looked. As if someone used a knife or something.

I shrugged though. I've been here before, many times and I've never seen anyone or anything else.

I was tired. I decided a little nap wouldn't kill me.

I don't know how long it's been, but I woke up to some noises. I could hear someone.

I smirked. Finally, I think I'll meet Sirius again.

I hid behind the door. I'm going to jump up and scare the hell out of Sirius and whoever else.

If I'm lucky, I'll scare all four of the Marauders. I think my friends would enjoy that.

Someone came through the door and I jumped up and screamed random nonsense.

It was only Remus Lupin.

He jumped back, terrified.

I burst into laughter.

Suddenly Remus began yelling at the top of his lungs.

'ANNE GET OTU OF HERE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE YOU'VE GOT TO GO!'

I was laughing so hard, I barely noticed him. I just ignored him. He was hysterical! This was better than I thought. GOD, I wish James and Sirius and Peter were there too!

Suddenly Remus stood up and grabbed me. 'ANNE GET OUT!'

He tried shoving me out the door.

I just pushed him away.

'God, Remus! It was only a joke, calm down!'

But Remus was so pale and he looked absolutely terrified.

'GO!'

'Awww, come on Remus. I was only joking!'

Suddenly, he was to shake uncontrollably.

'Remus are you okay? Oh my god, Remus? I'm sorry! I didn't mean to – '

Suddenly, I stopped as Remus began to rip out of his clothes. My eyes widened in fear an shock, as a tail burst from his back, and large ears grew out of his head. Remus began sprouting fur, and what looked like a snout. Soon, his huge yellow eyes were staring back at me.

I screamed at the top of my lungs, as I stared into the eyes of a wolf that used to be Remus Lupin.

The wolf jumped and me, and I felt some bones break. He clawed at me and howled.

I screamed, doing whatever I can to make sure his teeth did not come in contact with any part of my body.

I struggled and screamed and kicked. I could barely get Rodolphus of me! How was I supposed ot get a wolf off?

'REMUS STOP!' I yelled. 'IT'S ME! IT'S ANNE! JAMES'S COUSIN!

Suddenly, he used his razor sharp claws and slashed at my stomach, creating a huge, deep and painful gash.

I screamed and punched him in the face, as he tried to bite me. It didn't help matters much. This made the wolf mad. He jumped off me, and growled. He was preparing for the final jump, which would kill me

Using all the effort I had, I reached into my pocket.

For once, I remembered my wand.

'EXPELLIARMUS!' I pointed my wand at the wolf.

The wolf gave a howl as it collided with the wall. This wouldn't keep him down for long.

I dragged myself as fast I could. The wolf was getting uo.

My leg was broken, I couldn't walk! I shot another spell at the wolf.

'Sectumsempra!'

The wolf recoiled as the spell hit him. Since he was a wolf, the spell didn't have such a bad impact on him that it would on a human. But it still did some damage.

I have to remember to thank Severus.

Somehow, I made it out of the shrieking shack. It was pure adrenaline and luck.

I collapsed right outside the whomping willow. I got far enough so the tree wouldn't get me. But not far enough to get to the school.

I lay on the ground, a crimson puddle of blood was already beginning to form around me.

I tried screaming, but blood was also pouring from my mouth.

I'm not dying! Not now! Not after everything I did to survive in this world.

I know wandless magic. I need to heal myself a little.

I placed my hand over my stomach. I was quickly losing consciousness. I had to do this fast. I know I didn't have a lot of power left in me. I was quickly weakening. I need to heal well enough to survive the morning.

I can do this.

I was trained by the very best.

I am not giving up. I'll be damned if I let some werewolf be the death of me.

I felt power emitting out of my hand. How much? I'm not sure.

Darkness was overwhelming me.

I did all that I could. Someone will find me in the morning.

I smiled.

Wait until Rodolphus gets his hands on that filthy Halfbreed.

Author's Note: The next chapter is going to from Rodolphus's point of view. I know this was shorter than usual, I'm sorry. Next one will be better, I promise. You'll finally get to see how Rodolphus thinks! (:
