"Get off me!" Piper shouted as she vainly tried to struggle from the grasp of a snatcher.
"Leave her!" Finn shouted as he tried to run towards her but had the wind knocked out him with powerful punch to the stomach from a snatcher, sending him to the floor as Junko, who was being held back by five men, and Stork were all grouped together with them.

"Your boyfriend will get much worse that that if he doesn't learn to behave himself" The snatcher, who was no wearing Pipers scarf on his belt almost like a medal, said as he came walking over. As Aerrow and Ace were thrown up against some trees and pinned there. "Well, what happened to you two then, you look a bit different than before" The snatcher inquired at them. Neither responded, hoping he would think that they had been mistaken at first on their appearance because of the lack of light in the forest. "What's you're name?" The snatcher suddenly asked Aerrow.

"Cedric" Aerrow lied.

"Where from?" The snatcher, now standing right in front of him, asked.
"Terra Greenfield" Aerrow responded, knowing they had been followed from there.

"Check it" The snatcher ordered, looking unconvinced, as one of the other snatchers checked through a small book. The snatcher then moved onto Ace. "What about you?" He asked, more suspicious of Aerrow and Ace due to their change of appearance.
"Lance, Terra Atmosia" Ace also lied.

"No Cedric or Lance in here" The snatcher checking the little book, listing all those wanted in Atmos, said.

"Here that, book said your not here, how come you don't want us knowing who you are?" Greyback, who had hold of Aerrow, asked as he began gripping Aerrow's neck painfully tight.
"You know he does seem very familiar" The lead snatcher said as he walked back over to Aerrow. "And if you are who I think you are, I remember the newspaper talking about a very distinctive feature" He continued before grabbing Aerrow's arm. Aerrow cursed in his head as he saw the lead snatcher and Greyback see his tell tale scar and turn excited. "Change of plan were not taking this lot to the Ministry" He told them all, knowing he could get a much bigger reward elsewhere.

After being forcibly dissaperated with their captors the Storm Hawks found themselves standing in front of a impressive and grand mansion, which had very tall and straight walls making it tower above it misty gardens. Being half dragged up the gravel path towards the building and in between very tall and dark hedges, the group soon came to a set of large iron gates. Someone was one the other side of them, as if they'd been expected. Aerrow saw that it was Bellatrix, one of Cyclonis's most loyal and maddest death eaters. As came to a stop right in front of the gates Greyback suddenly wrenched Aerrow arm out from behind his back and held it out, lifting his sleeve so that Bellatrix could see the scar on his arm.

"You best come in" She said in a soft but deadly whisper.

The Storm Hawks were then forced into a through the house before they came to a large and richly decorated dining room, although it's heavy wood and long dinning table had been placed to the side in order to give a large amount of floor space. Bellatrix, it seemed wasn't the only resident of the house as also in the room was Lucius, looking very worn and shrunken, presumably his wife, a woman with platinum blond hair with a brown streak to the side, and his son Draco, who Aerrow had seen trying to kill Dumbledore before Severus had intervened. Bellatrix then gave a nod to Greyback who suddenly and violently kicked the back of Aerrow's legs, forcing him to fall to his knees. Before he could even react properly Bellatrix was already hold of his neck.

"Is it him?" Lucius asked, sounding nervously excited. Bellatrix didn't answer for a few moments as she studied Aerrow's face, which was still under the effect of transfiguration crystal.
"I think it is" She eventually replied. Lucius seemed worried over her uncertainly.

"We have to be sure, you know what happens to those who disappoint the dark master" He said, stepping forward a little.
"But if it is him Lucius, all will be forgiven" His wife reassured him, giving Aerrow the impression that Lucius and his family had disappointed Cyclonis at some point.

"Your not forgetting who caught them all, I hope Lucius" The lead snatcher inquired as he and the others all held back the other Storm Hawks.

"You dare talk to me like that in my own house!" Lucius suddenly shouted, but was prevented from doing anything more by his wife who hissed something to him. Bellatrix suddenly stood up from where she'd been crouching in front of Aerrow, also realising her grip from his throat. She looked too happy and confident for Aerrow's liking as she then took out her wand.

"It is him, his squadron too" She confirmed, grinning like an excited child.

"And how do you know Bellatrix, a moment ago you though it was them" Lucius reminded her. Bellatrixe's grin grew as she nodded at Greyback, who forced Aerrow back to his feet.

"Because they've use a simple trick, that's fooled all these idiots" She sneered as she flicked her wand which sent out a blast of what felt like hot air over the Storm Hawks. By hers and everyone else's now gleeful reactions, Aerrow knew that somehow Bellatrix had remove the effects of the transfiguration crystal placed on himself and Ace. "Clever I'll admit, so who's responsible for it, who's good with crystals, hmm?" Bellatrix continued to speak giddily, looking at each of the Storm Hawks.
"One of em had a crystal staff" One of the snatchers blurted out as he and a few others brought forward all of the Storm Hawks weapons and rucksacks and set them on the floor just to the side of Bellatrix.

"A crystal staff, hmm let me think who would use that, yes, I think the girl would, is that right dear?" Bellatrix said suddenly looking to Piper, knowing a crystal staff would belong in more delicate hands owing to its thinness. "Let's see what crystals in the staff right now shall we" She added, joyful at seeing Piper's terrified face. Bellatrix was still chuckling as she turned to face the pile of the Storm Hawks belongings. It was then however, that she suddenly stopped chuckling as her eyes found Griffindor's sword, which was being held by one of the snatchers. "What's that, where'd you get that from?" She said in a suddenly terrified whisper.

"It was in her bag when we searched her, reckon it's mine now" The snatcher replied, looking pleased with himself. Bellatrix stood frozen for a moment before she suddenly sent a wand blast at him, knocking the snatcher flying and sending Griffindor's sword into her hand.
"Are you mad!" The lead snatcher shouted, beginning to run forward but was quickly grabbed around the throat by a whip Bellatrix had been carrying on her belt and was pulled to the ground.

"Put them in the cellar and get out!" She screamed in rage at the terrified snatchers, who began dragging the Storm Hawks towards a door on the other side of the room as the two snatchers who'd been attacked fled the room. "Not the girl, I want a little chat first" Bellatrix quickly added in a slightly calmer voice than before. There was a moment of struggling as Piper was wrenched away from the group and grabbed by Bellatrix as the other was forced out of the room.
