Next Morning

Everyone was at the table but the three newbies. Sev and Blade were whispering to each other. Tom was eating and looking at plans. The three newbies walked in together. The guys chuckling with their arms around Shadow's shoulders, and Shadow shaking her head amusement twinkling in her eyes.

The people at the table looked up. "I see you 3 are getting along."

The three nodded and sat down. Charlie whispered something to her and she looked at her shirt then at Charlie with wide eyes before elbowing him.

"That wasn't nice!" Shadow said.

Bill chuckled. Sev and Blade went back to whispering.

Shadow rolled her eyes before standing up. "For that I'm going to change. See what you have to say about that." She walked out of the dinning to go change.

Charlie sulked and Bill hit him upside the head. Blade looked up and said, "Dad, what do you know about copyrighting?"

"Why?" Tom asked.

"I'm trying to convince Sev to write a book." Blade said.

"I have a book or 2 just make sure you have time to pillage and torture." Tom said.

Shadow opened the doors to the dinning hall and walked over to Tom her eyes flashing dangerously. She slammed a folder down on the table. "If you wanted to know about all my dirty little secrets asking would have gotten you that information. And I wouldn't leave this just lying around somewhere. Some of those things could have me used as a damn slave. Is that what you wanted? Your own fucking human sized house elf?!" With that she turn back around and left the dinning hall and the house.

Tom glared and went after her. "You will not speak to me like that! He yelled after her. Blade just ignored what was going on.

Shadow turned and glared at him. "I already did."

"I always do a background check on all new recruits I've "I have done one on all the death eaters except Blade." Tom said.

Shadow just shook her head. "If you wanted to know. You could have asked. In case you don't realize it yet my lord I can't lie. You should have realized that the moment I stepped into this manor."

Tom looked away. "I know but I had to keep up pretenses Shadow you don't keep the title dark lord from nothing."

"I know that. Now you know all of my secrets my lord. What do you plan to do with them?" Shadow asked her voice void of any emotion.

"Nothing Shadow absolutely nothing I'll burn the records now." Tom informed her.

"Whole lot of good that did. There is a dead man by your room by the way. It was a slip of the wrist really my lord." Shadow sneered before walking the rest of the way passed the wards. Tom looked after her and went to see whom she had killed. Tom walked quickly to his room and gasped at what he saw. There Narcissa Malfoy lay. Tom looked down and then sighed. He summoned Lucius immediately and a house elf to get Blade.

Lucius and Blade soon showed up and stopped short. "What happened?" both men demanded.

"I killed her." a voice behind them said.

Blade turned around and looked at Shadow. "Why would you do that?"

Tom who way facing her shook his head and said, "It was my mistake."

"You want to know why young Riddle? Let me explain. You see, I am what one fears in this world. Because I can kill and not be noticed. And I can kill and not feel a thing. You see your dear, dear 'Aunt Cissa' here was learning a little bit too much about my past and I can't have that going around. Oh no. No I can't. Any other reason is truly unimportant." Shadow said with a smirk her silver eyes tinting red.

Blade shook his head and said, "She was always to gossipy to be a Malfoy. What can I do father?" Tom sighed. "Go to Severus and tell him to help you prepare to inform the world of Narcissa Malfoy's death."

"Should we think of an cause of death ?" Blade asked.

"I can drop her off somewhere. Let them find her. I already marked her as one of my kills." Shadow informed them.

"Alright we'll get a story together for the papers." Blade nodded at his father and Lucius and then left to do his job.

Lucius looked at Shadow and said, "Go dispose of her now."

Shadow, with a smirk that said nothing good would come of said event, picked up Narcissa Malfoy's dead body and threw it over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes letting them see a mark that meant death burnt through her shirt and onto her back. She walked down the hall as if she wasn't carrying a dead body and grinning like a cat.

Lucius shook his head and looked at Tom. "She found out you were having an affair with Narcissa didn t she?"

Tom nodded. "That and Narcissa did in fact find the information about her."

Lucius nodded his head and sighed. "Well at least I can date in the open again now."

"I really should have listened to you when you told me to steer clear of the females like her." Tom said shaking his head.

Lucius smiled and said, "Malfoy's are always right."

Blade went to Severus and said, "Work time, Narcissa poked her head into Shadows' business and Shadow killed her we need to make a story for the press."

Severus looked at him. "And it was said that Narcissa Malfoy could see anything coming."

Blade laughed and said, "Apparently not now come on lets think of a story. How about Tom killed her for screwing up a mission? That will go over with the press and the ministry."

"Well... that depends. How was she killed? Because if she was just killed that works but if she was marked it would totally blow everything." Severus said.

Blade looked at Sev and said, "She's marked alright so just let it be at that then?"

Severus nodded. "She crossed paths with a Dougal."

"Alright tomorrow there is another meeting and another initiate." Blade said.

"Alright." Severus said with a nod.

"Wanna play?" Blade said with a smirk

"With you? Always." Severus replied with a smirk of his own. Tom went to bed and Lucius did the same after he had apparated to Malfoy Manor. The next morning went like the one before minus Shadow. Sev and Blade thankfully were quite this morning. They had been up late and were tired. Tom was sitting in his usual seat during DE meetings. He was waiting for everyone to show up. The new initiate was there bowing. They were waiting on Shadow and Bill. Bill showed up 10 minutes later looking a little flushed and he bowed but shook his head at Tom as a sign that Shadow was not coming.

Tom got up and started the meeting. "Narcissa Malfoy is dead as you may know. The circumstances you don't need to know. We have yet another new initiate today. He is to be another of our spies. We will go back to our original plans of attacking at New Years Eve." The DE's all nodded and waited to see if there was any more. "As our custom as been we will have the ball on Christmas. You are now dismissed."

The DE's all bowed and left.
