Chapter 10
"The Turning Point"
Katrina woke early that morning. She found Tom fast asleep in a chair. She kissed him on the cheek. He stirred and snapped wide-awake. A flash of anger burned in his eyes, but when he saw Katrina, the anger grew to passion and calmness.
"You are feeling better?" he asked.
"A bit," replied Katrina.
She helped Tom up. His hair was a bit ruffled, but he took no notice.
"I have so much to do today," said Tom.
Katrina bowed her head down. Tom lifted her chin up and stared her in the eyes.
"Don't worry. Soon, everything will be in order. All the greatest, darkest powers will be under my rule. I will have the eternity to make up for the time we've lost," he said.
It was not until noon that Tom and many of his followers were set to go. Katrina was saddened for Tom's short stay and wished he would stay just another day. She dressed in a black dress that looked similar to her Valentine's Day dress. Her hair was let loose, allowing each gorgeous strand to bounce with every graceful step she took.
"I'll miss you so much," said Katrina as she hugged Tom.
Tom ran his fingers through her hair. He twisted a soft curl around one finger, released it, and kissed Katrina.
"I'll make you this promise. No matter what happens, no matter who tries to destroy our lives, I'll always be there for you. I'll find a way so that we can be together forever. Even if I have to search for a way forever, I'll do that," he said.
Katrina watched him go toward his group. She clutched her necklace tightly. Tom turned and gave her a long, sad look. Katrina returned it with a faint smile.
"I love you," she said.
'I love you too," said Tom
Tom and his followers left Katrina went back into the castle and sat on the balcony. She sat there until the sun started to set, painting the world below in a deep shade of crimson red.
The sun was setting low. Many auroras and Order of the Phoenix members checked their pockets for their wands. James and Lilly Potter along with Moody, Dumbledore, and many others gathered into a group. They were walking up an old dirt road. They had to travel by foot because the place they were heading to was magicked so that no person could disapperate or apparate on the grounds. The place soon came into view. It was a towering castle, menacing in looks like an ancient monster that seemed to be sleeping and expected to burst alive any moment. Faint lights illuminate a few castles. The group quietly walked up to places appointed to them, and waited for the signal.
Katrina had gone to lie in her bed. Her head was spinning and her fever seemed to be coming back like a tidal wave. All was calm. The crickets chirped quietly outside. An owl hooted nearby. Her eyelids became terribly heavy. She began to drift off, the peace of sleep heavy on her.
BOOM!
Katrina sprung up in her bed. Shouts, screams, and enormous booming sounds exploded from below. She reached under her mattress for her wand and cautiously walked over to the door.
"Stupefy!" screamed James.
Several Death Eaters dodge from corners and more. Curses and jinxes were flying back and forth between both sides. James dodged a green ray of light, running toward a flight of stairs. Dumbledore and a few auroras were there.
"You go upstairs with a few of the others and see if there is anyone up there!" Dumbledore shouted over the roar of the noise and activity. James nodded and flew up the stairs, followed by a few auroras.
Katrina heard voices coming from the hall. She backed away from the door, sealing it with a powerful locking curse. Pounding began to bombard the door. Katrina stood there in complete horror, knowing not what would happen. The pale light of the full moon poured out below. She held her breath as the door's hinges began to give way to the weight of the intruders.
"Dumbledore, help us!" shouted James. "Someone's put a powerful lock curse on this door that we can't break."
James and the a few men were pushing against the door with all their might. Dumbledore immediately ran up to them and began pushing. The door gave way. James rushed in. A tall, thin woman with a flowing black dress on stood near wide open doors that led to a balcony. Her eyes were of deep cinnamon. She looked deathly pale, but very beautiful. She had her wand in her hand. Dumbledore and the other men rushed in and saw the woman. He knew who she was.
"Katrina?" he asked. "You are the Lady of Darkness?"
Katrina saw Dumbledore. He was much older know. He had called her the Lady of Darkness. Dumbledore's eyes peered to the moon above, which seemed to have a crown made up of three stars.
"Yes," Katrina whispered.
She instantly raised he wand and yelled "Avada Kedavra!" and hitting one of the men.
"Stupefy!" yelled James.
Katrina dodged the spell and ran out onto the balcony. She shot a curse toward her followers. A battle was taking place just below the yard. Katrina could see Bellatrix and her husband fighting below. James ran out toward Katrina. Katrina jumped up onto the ledge.
"Stay away from me!" she screamed as James ran up very close to her.
Dumbledore and the other men, except for one, joined James out on the balcony. Katrina's hair flowed out around her like a dark halo. The moon illuminated her pale face.
"Accio wand!" shouted James.
Katrina's wand flew out of her hand and into James's. Panic swept over Katrina. She didn't want to go willingly. She didn't want to go to Azkaban. She began to feel the sickness she felt not too long ago sweep over her. She began to feel woozy.
James walked up to Katrina, wand raised. He noticed how pale Katrina looked and that she seemed she might faint. He held out his hand.
"Here, take my hand," said James.
Katrina looked at the man's outstretched hand. She heard the roar of the river, the howl of the wind, the soothing song of the crickets. She closed her eyes and saw Tom's face. She saw them lying in a grassy field under a clear sky, away from death, away from worries, just in their own little world.
Katrina looked at James. She seemed to stretch out her hand. Just before James could grasp her hand, Katrina stepped over the ledge.
"I love you Tom," she thought just before stepping over.
Katrina fell into the raging river below. The sudden impact killed her instantly. James looked overt he ledge. She was gone. The river had swallowed her.
Somewhere not to far away, the Dark Lord had a terrible dream. He had a dream of the castle being attacked. He James Potter. He saw Katrina fall into the river. The Dark Lord woke up with a jolt.
"Wormtail!" he shouted.
Wormtail ran in and groveled at the Dark Lord's feet.
"Y-yes my Lord," he said.
"Prepare to leave immediately." said the Dark Lord.
"Y-yes my lord."
