Cradle the Enemy-Chapter 2
*~*~* A Night to Remember *~*~*
Running was all I could do. Running wouldn't help me here in this miniscule room. Where to go, where to run. I hate this place. I hate my life.
No where to go, so I turn to face him. Whipping out my wand I yell the first thing that came to mind, "Expeliarmus!"
In dismay I watch as Lucius jumps into the air and dodges my useless spell.
"Not going to work!" I watch as the smirk I usually grant to Pothead appears on his face.
"Imperio!" He exclaimed. Oh no…my mind became blank of everything. Just say it brat…you know you are going to end up exactly like me. You have the same blood as me. Just say yes… your going to be a Death Eater and there isn't a thing you can do to stop me from making you! Give in!! No…get out of my head…
You will serve our Lord just like every other Malfoy!
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
"I won't!" I yelled. "Old man, I am not going to be a bloody servant of the weakling creature you call Master!
"Come here boy!" Lucius grabbed at my hair harshly and yanking it towards him, the
pain began. Yet it was only the beginning; I knew that for sure. He was going to kill me this time.
"What did you mean? Brat!! I am talking to you!!" Cringing at the feeling of spit hitting my face, stop it…please stop it…
Inaudibly I manage, "I… I am not like you…I am not going to become a death eater…"
He pulled harder at my scalp. NO!!! It hurts…please stop…all fathers don't act like this… I know it
Lucius let go of my hair and immediately got hold of my left arm. Twisting it in a way that I knew it shouldn't be able to go. "AHHHH!!!!!" My eyes began to burn with the tears that wanted to escape. I can't let him see me cry. I can't. It's what he wants.
"You have no choice! Either die!!! Or do as I say!! You will be my heir and take your place as a servant for the Dark Lord!!" He screamed in rage as he tossed me into the wall. I felt one of my ribs crack. A damp stream began to make its way down my forehead, warm and damp. I watched as it made its way to drip to the floor, blood. Lucius came over and kicked me in the stomach.
My eyes went blurry, and I felt the air get sucked out of my lungs. I cant breathe…help…me… someone
My wand…Where is it? Oh bloody hell… "Are you looking for something?" he crackled. My wand was situated on the opposite side of the room. "Well you aren't getting it!"
Lucius made his way back over to me. He decided to kick me in the side of the head this time. My eyes began to burn more…stop it…please…
"Imperio!" Oh no!!! Not again…but this time it was different…I felt my body lift from the ground. Floating in the air wasn't all I was about to do and I knew it. WHAMMM!! Wind flew by my face and I flew into the wall. Slamming into the wall dislocated my left shoulder even more—my arm now dangled and bled.
Eyes burning, and the tears wanting to come out…No I can't! I can't cry! Then I felt myself move off the floor once again.
My arms start to move on their own. "AHHHHHhhh!!" The pain sears through my left arm. Hearing my skin tear as my shoulder bone begins to break the skin, is almost to much to bear.
The bastard is laughing…I can hear him cackle. Dimly, I feel my hands grasp my own throat. My eyes widen as I feel the pressure against my windpipe increase. Squeezing my eyes shut, I try to ignore the pain, but a pain so intense is impossible to ignore. I can't believe I am suffocating myself…
Suddenly my hands loosened their grip. But…
"Crucio!"
Both my arms bent in the wrong direction and my eyes rolled into the back of my head. A pain unlike no other engulfed my whole body. "AHHHHHHhhhhhh!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!" Scream after scream after scream! It was like needles piercing every single part of my body. As if my body had be cut open along my spine and turned inside out.
I can't take this any more…
That's when I heard her voice. No …please no…I am just imagining it.
I wasn't imagining it. She was really there, and in surprise, Lucius' Cruciatus Curse stopped and I immediately fell to the ground with a loud thump.
All I could do was moan to tell her that I was still alive…if that's what you call this mental state, then sure, I was living. At the sight of me, she let out the most saddening shriek.
"What the bloody hell are you doing in here Narcissa?" he was now enraged at the fact that this women would interrupt him and the brat.
"Stop it, Lucius! Can't you see you're killing Draco!! He is your son!! He is my son!! Stop hurting him!!" tears cascaded down her beautiful face and her blond hair was tousled.
"…Mum…no… stop it please…get away…please…" but my voice was so miniscule from almost suffocating early that my words didn't reach her ears. She stood her ground in between her bleeding, beaten son and her "husband."
"You stupid bitch…I never liked your filthy, ugly face around this manor any way. Its about time I shut you up for good!" There was that smirk again. Eyes wide in shock and fear as I heard the words escape from his mouth, "Crucio!" Although, this time his wand wasn't pointing at me…it was toward her…
NOOOooooooooo!!! I mentally screamed!! Her back arched in the most painful way possible. Her body began to twitch and writhe …still, I could barely move. My hands tried to push against the cement of the basement floor. I managed…painfully, " NOOOOoooo!!! Leave her ALONE!!!" I screamed, but this time the words escaped my lips. Making it to both Narcissa and Lucius.
He grinned devilishly, knowing how much this was hurting me. He turned back to his "wife." "This is the end whore!!"
"Avada!!…"
In the midst of all the pain, Narcissa smiled, and looked at her son. "Draco…I love you."
"No Mother!!!!!" tears streamed down my cheeks and mingled with my blood stained upon them.
"…Kedavra!!!" Lucius yelled.
A blinding green light struck Narcissa. And in slow motion I watched as she landed on the floor.
I clenched my fists and teeth and while Lucius watched her laughing and cackling to himself, I managed to crawl my way to the opposite end of the room, where my wand lay.
My blood stained hands grasped the wood in my hands as I pointed it towards the man who I hated the most in this bloody world. And I too utter the unforgivable words.
"Avada Kedavra!!!"
Green shot out from my wand and hit Lucius in the back. He laughed no more. My eyes rolled into the back of my head…and I too fell to the floor.
