Chapter Fifteen: Silk Roads

Isidora was hanging diapers on the line in her backyard, a soft, lullaby emitted from her delicate, rose red lips. Her straight, black hair swung lightly around her porcelain white face as the wind blew around her. Her husband, Menw, saw in the porch watching over his daughter play with a little plush dog toy. The child squeezed the toy and chewed on its little, soft brown head. As Menw picked up his newspaper he heard a scream at the back of the house.

He hurriedly picked up his daughter and ran to the backyard where his eyes focused upon the body of his wife. He ran over to her and checked her pulse. She was alive…but barely. He called for his mother-in-law, Isis, to come and aid him with his daughter. The old woman came and cried out when her eyes wondered on the body of Isidora. She began walking toward her when Menw stopped her and gave her his daughter. Isis hugged her grandchild and looked at Menw.

"What are you going to do?" asked Isis.

"I am taking her to St. Mungo's." he replied. He carried Isidora to the fireplace and signalled Isis to place his daughter in the playpen and to get the Floo Powder.

"Owl me once you get her settled in and…when they find what is wrong with her." Isis said her voice slightly trembling.

"Yes, and take care of our daughter while we're out thank you Isis."

"Yes, yes. Go on!" She grasped his arm and saw him step into the fireplace with Floo Powder in hand.

"St. Mungo's!"

Suddenly, Menw and Isidora were engulfed by neon green flames and were sent toward St. Mungo's.

Through many hours of desperation and worry finally Menw sat down and grasped his wife's hand. Isidora was now conscious and getting back on track to her health.

"What happened, Isidora? Why did you collapse?" asked Menw.

Isidora sat back on her pillow and stared at the ceiling with great misery and grief in her eyes.

"I do not know why…I felt as if some icy, liquid was flowing through my veins, a great weight on my heart. I felt faint and I just blacked out. Do not worry, Menw, the Healers said that with this potion I shall recover quickly."

Menw nodded and kissed Isidora lightly on her lips and started toward the door.

"I shall be back with our daughter and Isis. Do rest. Do not fret and calm your nerves. Maybe the sight of our daughter shall make your day more soothing. Good bye."

"I shall come swiftly, Menw, and bring her to me…my lovely daughter. And my mother."

He nodded and walked out the door. Isidora snuggled under her sheets and fell into a peaceful sleep. As she slept, a random nurse came by and placed a plant on Isidora's nightstand…

A few hours later, Menw is, once again, at St. Mungo's with her daughter and Isis. Menw is grieving with his daughter in his wife's room while Isis talks with the Healers. It seems that a plant, Devil's Snare to be exact, chocked Isidora while she slept killing her viciously. As Isis argued, Menw looked at his daughter sleeping in his arms. She looked a lot like Isidora. It sickened him to look at her.

Once Menw went home he did something he would regret for his whole life and more so. In his terrible state of grief…he murdered his own daughter. Her curious eyes no longer held that warm, loving look but now a lifeless, glass-like stare. Her face is pale and her small, body cold…like frost. In desperation, he threw her body in the fireplace and saw her remains burn and shrivel like paper. Isis came to find Menw sitting in front of the fireplace with his face in his hands crying and screaming.

As the months flew by and the seasons changed Isis and Menw grew desperate to have their missing family members back. Their absence was driving them mad. They would have done anything…and so that is why they went after a certain snake.

"I am Nagini. What is it that you seek from me?" she hissed.

"I am Menw and this is my mother-in-law Isis. We know that you can bring back the dead by using uh mud dolls. We were wondering if you could bring back my wife and daughter?"

"I can bring back their souls from the underworld and into these mud dolls. 'Tis true. But I can only bring back one family member. How old was your daughter?"

"About a year old."

"No…she's too young to bring back. I am sorry I can only bring back your wife. Do you have her remains?"

At this Isis replied,

"Yes, we have Isidora's bones and some of her grave's dirt. Will you really bring her back?"

"Yes, give her remains to me and the dirt. I shall be finished in a few days. Come back until the moon is set high in the sky round and full of light."

Menw and Isis nodded and went back to their home. Soon, they thought, Isidora will be home.

Once the night came, Nagini went to their house and knocked on their door. Isis opened the door and gasped.

"I am here…with your daughter." Replied Nagini.

At her words, Menw jumped from his chair and ran toward the door. There behind the snake woman was Isidora. She looked exactly like her old self but…there seemed to be something missing…he could not pin point it exactly.

"Isidora?" Menw replied.

"Menw…MENW!" Isidora said.

She ran to him and hugged him. She kissed him passionately on his lips savouring his taste and tears of joys ran down her cheeks.

"I must warn you though evil shall follow you all for bring back the dead is a most folly thing. It shall condemn you all. I am paying the prize…and so will you all."

With that Nagini disappeared. Isis pondered on what Nagini said but the presence of her daughter made her totally forget the vile, snake woman. Isidora, out of the blue, ran toward her daughter's room to find it bare and cold.

"Where is she?" she asked.

"She died…on the same day you died. I am terribly sorry." Said Menw with tears in his eyes.

"But…how?" asked Isidora

"She…err…caught an illness. Poor thing died quickly and painlessly. I tried everything I could but I could not stop it."

At this, Isidora hugged Menw and replied her voice shaking,

"If you want her back…you'll have to sacrifice your own life. If you become what I am…we can restore her! We can make her again."

"Are you sure?" asked Menw.

"Positive." She answered.

The, once again, familiar sight of an old woman and a man walking towards an old building with yellowing walls and broken windows with a small sign over the door read "Silk Roads" was sited on the next full moon. Once the couple entered they were met with the site of a luxurious room of Nagini, serpent of Lord Voldermort.

Nagini was standing over a cauldron; she was wear deep sea green robes and a matching hat. The rim etched with silver a pure Slytherin at heart.

"What is it that you request, Menw?" she asked not looking behind her.

"I want you to make me into a Tsuyazaki Doll." He said.

Nagini roughly turned around and met his eyes. They were determined…but held a small, insignificant amount of fear. That fear was her prize.

"Why do you seek the power of the Kolu? You all ready have your wife…isn't that enough?"

"We have decided to get my grandchild back." Answered Isis.

Nagini narrowed her eyes at this and walked toward Menw his eyes never swerving. She gently placed her hand on his cheek and took her hand away as if his skin burned her.

"You are determined I can see that…but your prize shall be more fierce. Be warned in eight years time you shall pay…come here Menw, son of Medredydd, I shall make you into what you desire."

She, then, plunged a dagger into his stomach and watched him fall onto the floor gasping for air as the intense pain ran through him like an icy, liquid.

"You are lost…you can never go home…" replied Nagini with sadness tripping from her eyes.

At home, Isidora was knitting little shoes for her child. She remembered her daughter well…her bright eyes always curious and full of laughter, her smile brought happiness wherever it needed bringing. Isidora smiled she would be reunited with her daughter soon. She kept on rocking in her rocking chair and kitting. While she did so, she hummed a lullaby a sweet and loving tune.

After a while or two, Isidora heard footsteps outside her door. She got up and walked toward her door. She peaked through her window and saw that it was Menw and her mother. Isidora swung the door and ran to Menw.

"So is it done?" asked Isidora looking at Menw with concern etched into her youthful face.

"Yes…I need to rest I am so tired." He replied.

Both women carried Menw to his bedroom and left him there to sleep. Once they were outside in the parlour both women talked within themselves.

"What kind of end are we coming to? Bringing back the dead with Dark magick. I should have never thought of this." Said Isis bringing her hands to her face.

"Shh, it is all right as long as we are together nothing bad is going to happen. Trust me."  Said Isidora looking back to her bedroom where Menw lay.

The years flew by and by and all that was once lost was now found and made anew. Menw and Isidora had their daughter back…but at a prize. Once the child was born Isis passed away into shadow. She left Earth to go into the Heavens. Both Menw and Isidora mourned for her leaving. They new that was only one of the many punishments they were going to go through for their…lives.

On the day of Menw and Isidora's daughter's eighth birthday Death Eaters attacked their home. They took everything of value and imprisoned the family under a powerful, rich, and malevolent wizard known as Lord Voldermort.

Menw and Isidora tried to be strong for their child but what can two Tsuyazaki Doll do against the most powerful, dark wizard in the world? First, Menw died trying to stop some random Death Eaters from taking Isidora to a new home. Then Isidora was cursed for being disobedient and with her last breath she said to her child,

"Stay strong, my daughter, you will overcome your fears. I love you…Genevieve."

Voldermort swished his wand and let the memory collapse into the air. He grinned and grasped Harry roughly and pointed his want at him,

"Now you know. The same curse in them flows in you. Anyone you truly love shall perish…now you will watch as I curse your beloved Potter." Said Voldermort.

"Avada Kedrava!" Bellowed Voldermort.

Another Author's Note: Hey, sorry for the really boring chapter I just wanted you all to know the story behind Genevieve's parents and stuff. Okay…that might be a nasty cliffy I don't know. Anyways, in the next chapter, The Love of a Wolf, something nasty happens to Remus, Sirius goes mad and tries something stupid, and Genevieve saves a life to lose another. Crappy summery and title I know sorry review! **Does Fonz**
