A/N: It's been awhile, dears.
Many, many thanks to my wonderful Beta Bella. If this story continues at all, it is because she likes it.
Thank you Rehanna and Becca for your kind reviews as well.

"Bow," Lord Voldemort commanded. Elizabeth ran her eye over the man, for lack of a better word, before her.
"No," she said quietly. Lucius was startled. Madeline stifled a mad giggle.
"I am your master."
"I have taken no vows. You are not my master yet," she said respectfully.
"You do not fear me, little girl?"
"No."
"I will teach you to fear me."
"You will find me an apt pupil in all things but that." Amusement shone in Lord Voldemort's red eyes.
"Your parents knew nothing of fear either." He was lost in thought for a moment, contemplating Elizabeth. "You know the arts?" he asked.
"Yes."
"Lucius, bring Wormtail." Lucius bowed and exited. Voldemort took Elizabeth's chin and titled her head up. Their eyes met. She held his gaze steadily. He smiled.
"Yes, you are their child. I can see it. The cunning, the ruthlessness, the brazenness, the bloodlust." She almost smiled.
Lucius reentered, bringing a very unhappy looking Wormtail. "Wormtail. Come closer."
"My lord," Pettigrew replied in a quaking voice. The poor man trembled as he moved closer, head humbly bowed.
"You have been a great help."
"Thank you, my lord."
"However, you've outlived your usefulness. Elizabeth, kill him." She almost didn't do it out of sheer perverseness. She stepped forward.
"Before, I kill you," she whispered in his ear, "would you like to know my name?"
"Archer!" he gurgled as her hand massaged his throat. Archer. That had been her father's name.
"Wrong," she said. She tapped him with her wand and muttered something. She stepped back. His body crumpled and hit the floor with a dull thud. Madeline squealed with delight and Lucius stared openmouthed.
"A poisoning charm," Lord Voldemort said. "Clever girl. But why didn't you drink from him?"
"Coward's blood. It doesn't taste right."
"Yes, well the killing of Wormtail was pointless. Does that bother you?"
"Should it?" she inquired. Lord Voldemort smiled.
"Yes, you are their child- a killer."
