Warnings: Violence, but no slash! This is a first for me!

Thanks: Thanks to all my lovely reviewers! It really makes my day to see what you have to say!

Lunaris Lol, I'm addicted to exclamation marks...but reading through I can see how many I did put it! It is melodramatic, but it's fun to write! And if you were in their position, then I think you'd be melodramatic!

Snow Yeah it is disturbing... especially the Harry/Vernon stuff cringes

My hands shook as I finished the letter. I crossed the room and as I do I heard my Father nearing my door. I grabbed my owl and quickly attached the letter. My owl flew out of the window, out of sight and I desperately wished I could be with it, escaping my prison.

"What are you doing boy?" The voice of my Father drifted through the now open door.

"I don't see why I should explain myself to you..." I drawled calmly, turning to face him slowly. He shut my door silently and as he turned around I can see the malice and fire burning in his cold grey eyes. I gulped and closed my own eyes.

Moments later I could feel his cold hands close around my neck. As I opened my eyes, he dragged me across the room. I slammed into the post of my bed and lost my balance.

"Get up!" He hissed. His voice dripping with venom and edged with ice. I ignored his command, but he yanked me up, sneering.

"Face me like a man!" He drawled, smirking the legendary Malfoy smirk. I glared at him, our eyes locked in a silent battle against wills. He raised his hand and hit me across my face. I slammed down onto the bed and slipped off the edge.

Pushing myself back up, I glared at him. He punched me in the stomach and as I doubled over in pain, he kneed me in the face. I fell to the floor and groaned. I leant against my bed and he kicked me.

"Fight back!" He yelled in rage.

"No!" I whispered through clenched teeth.

His eyes flashed with anger and he raised his wand.

"Crucio," He muttered. The spell hit me in the chest. Immeasurable pain seared through my entire body. My very blood felt like it was on fire, and the walls of my veins made of ice. He watched me with a sickening pleasure.

"Scream! Yell for help!" He teased.

I remained silent. My eyes tight shut and breathing heavily. Giving him the satisfaction of hearing my screams repulsed me. My silence only seemed to anger him further. The excruciating pain stopped, but my body continued to ache all over. He raised his hand again, but I heard a shout coming from downstairs.

"Lucius! The Ministry called, it's urgent!" my mother, Narcissa, yelled.

I sighed as he left the room. Minutes later my mother entered. She took one look at me and gasped. She knew what he did to me, but had never seen the state he left me in. Usually he healed me, telling me I was too beautiful to be left disfigured. Only one scar remained on my body; a thin line on my stomach, just below my naval as a constant reminder of him.

My mother sank to the ground next to me and took me in her arms. I rested my head on her shoulder and closed my eyes, wishing I could sit with her like this...forever.

"It's okay, my lamb," She whispered softly.

Hearing her voice soothed me slightly. It felt like I was sitting in her arms for hours before my Father came home. He sounded livid. He was screaming for my mother and terror boiled up inside me like hot lava. I looked up at her. I could see the fear etched across her face.

She pressed her finger to my lips so I wouldn't speak and whispered, "I love you, my Draco, my son." She kissed my forehead softly and left.

I crawled onto my bed and closed my eyes. I could hear him shouting at her. She had lied to him about the ministry to save me. Guilt crept up inside of me like a vicious monster, tarnishing my already darkened soul. Her screams echoed through the Manor. I buried my head in my pillow and felt warm tears slid down my blood stained face. I was back to the pit of darkness and misery with no one to save me. No one to be my guiding light.
