Destined to Be: The Court of Twelve
EclypsCC1
Chapter 1
::~//~::
Black boots tread in the dirt road with such majestic grace that they left no tracks, no marks what so ever. A deep blood red dress that just touched the ground. Slits up the sides to mid thigh.
It was hot that day. Yes, but a pure black cloak was present, billowing out behind her, gently sweeping the ground. The hood was pulled up, casting shadows on her perfectly proportional face.
She was thin, yet her body showed strength. That she had been through the worst and survived. Long, flowing, hair of the darkest black that looked as if it fell to her lower back. When her hair hit the light, there appeared to be one or two solitary strands of silver. (They were only noticeable when the sun hit her hair in the right way and since there were so few strands, it just made her hair look like it was shining a bit.)
Eyes hidden by the shadow.
She looked as an angel would. A dark angel maybe, but and angel all the same.
She knew not why she was there, but she knew she had to go. She didn't know where she was going, but somehow, the feeling that made her leave her home told her she was going the right way. A feeling, an instinct, made her drive on. Even thought her body was deprived of sleep and food, she drove on.
::~//~::
After a while, a large white mansion came into view. It was beautiful, yet held a dark secret. One that kept most away. This woman was no such person and paid no heed to the warning the house seemed to give.
Two men came into view. A father and a son, they appeared to be, since the younger appeared to look like the elder. There was also a mother, tall and haughty looking with silvery-blond hair, the same as the younger male.
The woman lowered the hood of her cloak. (Which could have been a muggle cloak) Her eyes appeared to be the darkest black, showing no emotion, only a blank stare.
She approached the family, speaking out in a silky voice that had and undistinguishable accent.
"Sir, would you be so kind as to spare some food for a traveler?" She asked.
The eldest male looked her over then sneered.
"A muggle such as you deserved no such pleasures as food. Come, Narcissa, Draco, we will go inside now."
Both followed obediently but the youngest male, Draco, looked back and saw the woman raise her hood again. She had also muttered something like 'looks can be deceiving.' But was not sure if Draco had heard her or not. He was looking back just long enough to see her lean agenst the trunk of a large oak tree and cross her arms stiffly. Keeping her dignity and pride by not slumping to the ground in defeat. He followed his father in the house with the sudden impulse to do something.
::~//~::
She didn't know how long she stood there, it could have been five minutes, it could have been five hours, but she was taken out of this state of staring when a voice sounded out behind her. (Well, more to the side, but that doesn't matter.)
"Um…miss…here is some food if you still wish for it."
She looked up, only to be met with the light greyish-silver of the younger male, Draco. (As opposed to the elder males coal grey eyes.)
She nodded once before taking the food and eating it slowly, then placing the remaining food in an inside pocket of her cloak. (Cape?) All the while, Draco stood watching her, but his gaze kept flicking back to the house, most likely checking to make sure he wasn't seen helping this person that his father refuse to help.
"What is your name?" Asked the woman.
He looked at her closely, as if trying to find a fault in her to not give her the information, but finding none, he gave her his name.
"Draco Malfoy." Frank and to the point.
"I thank you for helping me Draco. Some day in the future you will get repaid for you kindness."
And with that she began to walk away. When she was nearly out of view, she called back to him.
"By the way, my name is Shadow-Gem."
And then she was gone.

Alright, I'm reposting this in larger chapters just for the sake of my sanity. And possibly Siriuslyinlove and a few other reviewers that I cant think of off of the top of my head, but I'll metion you later. I also got information about my characters like a family tree, but I wont post that because it would give away too much information. Each chapter from now on will be as close to 1,000 words as I can make it.
Also, I want to give credit to Awaking of a Royal by Silverdawn (I think I spelled it right) For some my ideas. I acually did have most of the story plotted out before I read her story, but since I couldn't find a name for a certin thing that I wont mention now because it will ruin the whole suspense thing I got going , she gets the credit anyway. Any ways, the different planes were also my own idea, something I acually believe is true in a sence, but there are a few things similer, any I'm really sorry for that causse I hate those people who steal your storys, but since my story is totally different, or at least I hope it is, and the similer things were totally unintentional, I think it'll be okay/
Once again I want to point out, despite it saying at the top that this is the 1st chapter, I do not acually post in chapters, more like sections, since my writing constantly changes camara angles (You better get what I mean cause I don't feel like explaining myself)
All I ask for in return is reviews. The more I get for each chapter, the faster I'll update. Ask Siriuslyinlove, I could post a chapter anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks.::Evil Grins::
I do apreaciate reviews, even it's just to say you've read it and liked it, or even if you didn't, but I want to know why. Deal?
I bid all you people ado untill the next time I get around to posting. Untill next time…Up Up and Away!
Th-th-th-that's all folks!
