Catelin waited patiently on the farthest side of the lake. She had asked Crabbe to meet her here in half an hour, so she would have time to prepare. A little ways behind her was the forest. Tonks, Emily, Sirius, and Snape were all hiding in the trees to gather information. The rest of the Order was back in Dumbledores office, for their return.
" What do you want?" asked a gruff voice behind her.
Catelin turned to the boy. " I wanted to ask you something," she said a serious tone.
" Well?" asked Crabbe impatiently, " What is it?"
Catelin sighed. There was no point beating around the bush. She might just as well cut to the point. " You're a Death Eater, right? I want to become one, too."
Crabbe paled slightly. He stared at Catelin hard before asking her, " What makes you think I am a Death Eater?"
" Well," Catelin said not missing a beat. She had prepared for this question, and thought flattery was the best way to go. " You just have this great demeanor about you. It seems like you know how to handle yourself in a bad situation. You seem to have that attitude for bossing people around. You get what you want when you want it. That is something only few have. And the others that I have seen with it are your Slytherin friends. Its a sort of a.... bad thats good, you know?"
He was nodding now, his fingers touching his chin in thought. "Your right, I have that demeanor. So you want to join our side? Why?"
" I may be useful. I heard some of the teachers talking about an old house. They said they were going to help.... bring it down. I just want to help stop those mud blood lovers before its too late."
" Oh no!" Crabbe exclaimed, " They cant know about the house! That is where Master is!"
" Oh dear! We must warn them. Where is it?"
" I dont know! The only time I ever went there was to get my mark. They never told me how to access the place."
" Your mark?"
" The mark of the Death Eaters," Crabbe said. He pulled up his sleeve to his fore arm and showed her the mark. But as he did, he suddenly grabbed it.
" When it burns like this, it means we are to go to where he calls. Come on, maybe they will let you join us if you give them your information."
And before Catelin had time to react, Crabbe clamped down on her arm, and they disappeared.
Catelin landed on the ground by Crabbe. They were in a small, damp room. The walls were made of what looked like cement, and the floor was only dirt. There were no windows. The only thing that lit the room were candles and torches. But what bothered Catelin was the fact that she was surrounded by a group of people. Some of them were wearing masks. Others had on cloaks covering their faces. This was the way Crabbe looked when she turned to face him.
Suddenly, everyone in the room went quiet. They all stood in a circle, and waited for something. As Catelin tried to guess what was happening, a figure appeared in the circle.
" Welcome young ones, and new followers. I was asked to bring you her on special request from Master. Today you are all going to witness a special ceremony. Do you remember the Meta we talked about?"
Everyone nodded. Catelin was irked by the childish voice the speaker was using. It always seemed to her like a Death Eater would be more harsh than this. And from the sound of the voice, it was a female.
Crabbe moved from Catelins side and bowed before the other Death Eater. " I have brought a follower," he said shakily, " She has information concerning us."
" You brought that person here?!" exclaimed the Death Eater, " That was very foolish. Crucitus!"
The Death Eater pointed her wand at Crabbe and spoke the Unforgivable Curse. He cried out and squirmed as he fell to the ground. The Death Eater stepped over Crabbe and walked around the circle.
" Next time one of you brings them, the consequences will be worse. Do any of you filthy idiots know what we do when we find a follower who wants to join?" She asked with that childish voice again. No one dared to move. " We asked another Death Eater who has contact with master! WE DO NOT BRING THEM TO OUR HEAD QUARTERS!"
" Now where is this so called follower?" the woman asked with her eyes scanning the group. She walked over to Catelin and stopped a foot away from her face.
" So, you have come to...join us?" she asked Catelin with a chuckle, " I doubt that is what youre here for. We shall see. You will come with us to the ceremony, Potter."
The woman paused for a moment. " Kind of funny how all the Potters are crossing over these days." It was barely a whisper, but Catelin heard it.
Sirius Black jumped off the tree branch he had been hiding in. Tonks came down beside him, and Emily and Snape stepped out from the bushes.
" Where did she go?" asked Sirius turning to Severus, " And how did she leave? There is a spell against apparation here. That Crabbe couldnt have taken her that way."
" Im not sure," said Snape to himself.
" There is no way I can tell James that his sister is now gone, too! We must find her! What if–
"SIRIUS!" yelled Tonks gaining his attention, " Panicking is not going to bring them back. We need to get this information to the rest of the Order before anything can be done."
" What information?"grumbled Emily, " It was just the same stuff we already know."
" But at least we have conformation," continued Tonks, " And I was close enough to hear the spell Crabbe said. Maybe Dumbledore knows it."
" Alright," said Emily, " What are we waiting for? Lets go!"
Catelin marched up the stairs, her hands bound behind her. They continued to walk across a field, and then through a grave yard.
Crabbe was not with the group. The Death Eater, whom Catelin found out was Bellatrix, thought he should remain behind. Catelin didnt see what happened after the other Death Eaters left, but knew it wasnt good.
After crossing another field, they came to an ancient house surrounding by Dark Roses. They pushed her into the house, and walked past a set of stairs and pushed her into a room. Many other Death Eaters were gathered in the room. They all stared at Catelin.
Bella had walked over to some other Death Eaters and was talking with them when the door to the room opened, and in walked Lisana. She was accompanied by the Malfoys. Catelin could only tell it was them by the family crescent on their cloaks. They wore the mask of the Death Eater over their faces.
" The ceremony will begin in a few minutes. Everyone in your positions," commanded Lucius.
Lisana stood beside Draco, and waited while everyone stood in a circle. She was starting to have a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. She glanced at Draco, but he didnt look at her. However, something else caught her eye. It was someone Lisana recognized. But before she could get a good look, the person was pulled from her view by a Death Eater.
Suddenly, everything got very dark, with the exception of a few candles. The door was opened, and a dark cloaked figure entered the room.
Lisana felt her hands start to tremble. She unconsciously reached to feel around her wrist. But she was startled when she felt no bracelet. Her charm bracelet that her parents had given her. It was gone.
Lisana forced herself to pay attention as the dark figure strode in front of her. The other death Eaters went into a low bow. All of them set black roses before the figure. Lisana realized that they were the same ones that were at the ball, and around the house. Dark Roses. They now littered the floor. Each Death Eater had put at lest ten down on the ground.
" You have no Dark Roses to offer me?" hissed a voice. Lisana knew it was directed at her.
" I did not know to bring them," she said looking at the floor. All remained silent. She felt her stomach flip with anticipation.
" They better be here next time, Meta of Aiadats," it hissed again.
Lisana could not hold back a shudder. The voice made her feel like someone had shoved ice down her throat. Her mind and body were beginning to ache. She could feel his gaze piercing her thoughts. It irked her to the bone.
" You wish to join us?" it hissed again, " Yet you have not the power to look at me? Are you that weak?"
Lisana knew it would be dangerous to answer back at those. So she lifted her eyes from the floor and locked gazes with him. She regretted it the moment after. Her eyes began to burn like fire. His beady red ones looked with satisfaction at her. Her head seem to scream at the damaging pain.
" Potter," hissed the voice, " You will be mine."
