Chapter 15
Maroon Is Just Another Color For Fear
When Renee woke the second time, there was just a dull throbbing in her head. She got up, and looked around the drab room. There was nothing there for her to do.
~ So this is what a prisoner feels like. God how do they not die from boredom? ~
Her hand immediately, went to the necklaces on her neck. Slowly she took the necklace of the green eye off. It was the same color, green, but was tinted with red. At the center the pupil of the eye was blood red.
"That must mean, an enemy is near, and I'm in trouble," Renee said out loud, speaking to no one in particular. This of course was said very sarcastically.
"Well, well, she has figured it out. Part of it at least. I'm very surprised that your blonde mind can handle that," an unmistakable voice said.
Renee turned and saw Chad standing in the open doorway. He was grinning, but it was a grin of malice.
"But... He said...that...." She stuttered, not making any sense.
"He wouldn't harm anyone if you came with? Or take anyone? My dear sister, he did not take me. How do you think Voldermort got into the castle? He certainly couldn't have appearated into the castle walls. You should have known that, it was in Hogwarts A History," he said.
Renee glanced down, at the eye. It had turned a deep maroon color, as Audra had said it would. Renee glanced at him, the full meaning of what he said, sinking in. She raised her eyes to his, blue ones. Her eyes were a deep green, deeper then they normally were. They had flecks of gold in them, and the flashed in anger.
"You little bastard. Why? You would betray me, your best-friend,and sister? You could have hurt Audra, your best friend. All for what?"
"Isn't it obvious? The power, Renee. If I joined him, Lord Voldermort, I'd be fighting for the right side."
"The right side? The right side, isn't this side! The right side are the people at Hogwarts! They don't kill for no reason!" Renee yelled, she was getting irritated with him.
"This is the right side. This is the side that will win. This side that will take over, we need to get rid of all the damn mudbloods! Only the pure will live, only those that follow him will survive. He is stronger, stronger then he was before."
"You are one really big dumbass you know that right? Pure blood? What the hell do you think we are? We sure as hell ain't "pure bloods"! Look at us! We're half elf, half human! Or witch, whatever! We sure as hell aren't pure bloods! We're just like all those....those.... Whatever you just called them!" Renee screamed at him, her eyes turning into small slits, revealing only part of a glittering green eye.
This was something that Chad had seen so many times, that he knew that she was past angry. He had seen so many people, many of them boys, run when that look was in her eyes. She had placed several people in the hospital, but those were the people that had pissed her off. And Chad was slowly inching his way up to being the only guy that she put in coma. Chad doubted that she would, but there was a first time for everything.
He saw the necklace in her hand, and saw that it was a deep maroon. He grinned, remembering when she had received it. Boy was she happy, said she always wanted something like that.
"You know maroon is just another color for fear," he said.
Renee decided not to even dignify that comment with a response. Chad, took this as a good sign. But he didn't speak, and neither did she. They stood in a tense silence, that wasn't broken until Lord Voldermort appeared, behind Chad.
"I see that your brother has tried to talking to you. I also see it has failed. He will be back, as will I. As for now, here is an owl. Send it to your headmaster," Voldermort ordered.
Renee did as he asked. He handed her a piece of parchment and a quill. Quickly and sloppily she wrote that she was fine and not to worry, she'd be back soon. It also included some commentary from her. At this Lord Voldermort scoffed. Taking the owl he left, once again leaving Chad and her alone.
"How long?" She asked.
"Since our dention. My lord found me, and tole me all of our past, and asked me to join his cause. I happily agreed. I acted for you and Potter, and gained all of your trust. Then I did every thing my lord asked."
"Why?" she asked.
"Did I join? I told you, for the power, and to get revenge. We had to live in the Muggle world, we were abandoned, because our bastard of a father did not want us. Now its time for my revenge."
She turned to him looked at him for a moment. She lunged at him, knocking him to the ground. Just as she was about to raise her fist to punch him in the face, Chad pulled his wand out.
"Crucio!" He whispered.
Renee writhered in pain, on the ground, while Chad rolled out from underneath her. The pain in her body was unbearable. It felt like she was in a blender and being ripped a part. Then suddenly it stopped. The door slammed shut, leaving Renee lying on the cold stone floor. A trail of blood left her mouth. ~ You're not who you say you are They made you the enemy ~
Renee laughed. Some, had they been in the room , would have thought she was mad. Others, maybe they would have thought that she was laughing at the situation, the fact that she knew it was hopeless. Thinking, about all that had happened in the past day, at least that's how long she thought it had been, all she could do was laugh. How blind she was. How could she have not realized it? She looked at her room, the cell she was in and laughed again.
She remembered the times in the Muggle world. They had fun, they laughed, of course some blood had been shed, but that was to be expected from those two. Greed and power, broke him. Changed him, their friendship ruined. Something so beautiful, gone. It made her sick. ~ Taken something so beautiful Painted a new picture that makes me sick ~

Audra woke up, the next morning tired. Then remembering the events of the day before she tried to cover her head with the pillow and go back to sleep. It didn't work. She felt the pillow be ripped from her head. She looked up to see, Sirius Black. Now this was odd.
Raising an eyebrow, she slowly sat up and looked at him. Seeing that he had her attention, he sat on the other part of her bed. He held a piece of parchment in front of her face. Audra took it out of his hand, and slowly read it, being sure that she didn't miss anything important.
~ Audra ~
Yeah, it's Renee. I'm currently writing to you from, well, a dark dank hole. At least that's what it is to me. No windows, rather depressing. Only way out is the way I came in. Pretty sad. I'm writing to you to let you know that I'm fine. Lord Voldermort, as he insists I call him, wants a pure wizarding world. I think he wants me to join him, but I won't. Because that means, well I'm not sure what it means, but I can tell you this much it's not going to happen. At least I hope it won't. No it won't. Any way I'll be back soon.
~Renee
"When? Do you know anything else?"
"Early this morning, and no. Another meeting is meeting called tonight. Not much good it'll do, now. But we've got to try."
Audra bit her lip. Things were slowly going from bad to worse. She nodded her head slowly.
"I want to be there," She said.
Sirius nodded, as soon as he was out of the room, he sighed. So far Harry, Draco, and Audra were to be present at this meeting, along with another elf. Now all they had to do was wait. Wait for the meeting, or for another letter from Renee. Hopefully another letter from Renee, or for Lord Voldermort's sign that he has rose. Becoming everyone's worst fears.
