Disclaimer: I only own Carly and her mother

Why are the rating's different? It's so confusing this way. Anywho...

On to happy news, I promise a lot of chapters this up coming week. Either that or they will be very long, because I have spring break. But now you're all like YAY, but who cares on with the show damn it!

Recap:

"B. Malfoy." He stated putting her hand to his lips. She pulled back her hand,

"Why am I here? Where's Lily?" She asked glaring at him while wiping her hand on her robes. Wait robes? She was wearing robes? Sense when? I remember changing into my pajamas. She looked down and saw that these weren't even hers. They were dress robes. The robes were rich looking a deep green color. The color didn't look bad on her but she turned to face Malfoy again with a snarl.

"A little blunt?" He teased, "Don't worry about the mudblood she's being taken care of." Carly growled and opened her mouth to retort, but he silenced her with a wave of his hand, "The robes belong to your father and it was his order to dress you in them." A pink tint rose on her cheeks, but she quickly wiped it away with a scowl, "He wishes to see you and the mudblood once you are awake." With that he walked passed her towards the door and opened it, "I must say that you would have made a perfect match for my son." He sneered. She looked around, seeing nothing she took off the shoe on her foot and threw it at him. He ducked, "So violent young one." He shut the door leaving Carly alone. She scowled and picked up the shoe. It wasn't her shoe either, but the floor was cold and she couldn't see her slippers anywhere so she put it on. Her mind reeling she sat on the floor. What now? She thought. Touch the necklace. Sirius' conscious said, what? Touch the necklace, Sirius will feel it. Trust me. What other option was there? She began to rub the necklace. I feel stupid. Yeah well you want to live don't you? Carly sighed. I know you're scared. Just trust me. I am part of Sirius. Can't you get a hold of him? Not this far away. Where am I? I have no idea. I already tried though and couldn't get to him. Just keep rubbing.
Carly obeyed and rubbed some more.

Little did she know that not only it sent a heat wave to Sirius, it sent one to two of the most respectable Aurors out there.

Chapter 25: Options

Enjoy:

Sirius Black was known for, how can I say this, his active imagination? Even in his sleep it ran wild. Tonight was no exception. Especially after the necklace fit the girl he loved. Tonight Sirius Black was having a very…special dream about his love. Him and her had gotten into a very warm situation and the room they where in continued to grow hotter. At first Sirius thought it was just the things happening in the dream, but once it started to burn Sirius realized it was something else. He yelped as his neck grew hotter and fell out of his bed. James Potter his best friend stirred beside him,

"Whasa matta Padfoo?" James asked groggily from behind his curtains. Sirius stood up an image flashing in his head. It was Carly. She was in a cement room on the floor wearing something he had never seen before. It looked like she was scared,

"CARLY! JAMES!" Sirius ripped open James' curtains and pulled James out of bed, "Something's wrong!"

"Wha-" He never finished his sentence because Sirius thrusted James' broom into his hands, hopping on his own broom and flew down the steps of the boy's dormitory. James, who was greatly concerned, flew after his friend. Sirius flew up the girl's steps and blew the door apart with his wand. He jumped off his broom and run up to Carly's bed. (How he knew? Even I don't know.) She wasn't there. James who had run to Lily's bed gasped,

"Where are they?" He asked puzzled. Sirius ran a finger over the burnt spot on his neck. James caught on instantly,

"Dumbledore." He said pulling James down the steps. When they slid down the steps Remus was standing there with a confused look on his face. Behind him stood a very upset looking Peter,

"What's going on?" Remus asked.

"No time to explain." Sirius said, "Going to Dumbledore." He added grabbing Remus' arm and running out of the common room. James followed pulling Peter along with him. On the way James told Remus his side of the story, which wasn't much, and began to ask Sirius questions. Remus thought for a second and pulled out the Marauders Map. Tapping it with his wand and uttering some words the castle came into view and he quickly scanned it.

"There no where in the castle or in Hogsmead. Padfoot, what's going on?" Sirius refused to answer because he was to busy looking over his shoulder his eyes darting everywhere. When they reached the Dumbledore's office they began throwing different names of candies in the air hoping to Merlin that one of them was it.

Somewhere in London a highly respected Auror feel to the ground screaming in agony and clutching her neck. The people around her rushed to her side and picked her up. When her husband looked at her in the eyes the woman gasped still holding her neckline. She had just gotten the same image Sirius Black received, "Caroline?" Then it all clicked in her mind. The Auror knew who this young woman sitting in the cement room was. She had seen a picture of the girl in the last letter her son had sent home. She was wearing the silver necklace that the Auror gave her son two years ago, "Sirius. Harold! We have to go see Dumbledore! Now!" The man holding up his wife nodded and apparated away still clutching his wife.

"Shit!" A woman hissed holding her neck.

"What's wrong?" Another, male voice hissed back,

"My neck, it's burning and I have no idea why."

"Come here." The woman slowly walked over to the figure. All of a sudden the woman stopped becoming rigid. She just had an image of a beautiful girl, on her knees, looking deathly afraid. "This image," the voice spoke, "Is of the one you took tonight?"

"Yes, master." The person belonging to the voice smirked,

"So someone out there does love the wench."

They had tried every candy in there vocabulary but none had worked. Sirius seemed extremely angry at this and began cursing the statue with his wand, "DAMN THIS! OPEN!" James slumped to the ground holding his head. Remus, next to him elbowed him causing James to look up,

"Dad? Mum?" Sirius stopped cursing and looked behind him. Mrs. Potter looked over her 'sons' and realized that Sirius had a simpler burn around his neck.

"What's going on!" Sirius screamed, "Something is wrong with Carly! She's not in her room! She's not any where near Hogwarts! She's gone!"

"So is Lily." James added. Mr. Potter sucked in a breath and whispered a couple words and the gargoyle sprang to life. They all trooped into the Headmasters office with Sirius in the lead. Everyone failed to notice that both James and Sirius were only wearing boxers. The headmaster was pacing his office when Sirius blew apart the door,

"Mr. Black I would like to-" He stopped when he saw all the Marauders and the older Potters walk into his office. Sirius was fuming,

"Carly and Lily are gone."

Your message has been reached. Sirius' conscious was doing it's best to keep Carly calm. He needed her to be calm. Merlin knows what her evil father had planned. Carly on the other hand was not paying attention and was thinking fast. She knew she had to remain calm and not show any emotion to these snakes, even if she wanted to blow them to pieces. She knew that that was exactly what they were looking for. To see if she would break. Carly took a deep breath and stood up. Straitening out the dress robe, that wasn't even hers yet it fit perfectly, she glanced around the room. What good this'll do, she thought. She ran up towards the door and tried the handle. She knew it was locked, but tried anyway. What if Lily was on the other side? "LILY!" Carly screamed hoping that Lily would hear her. She's fine…I promise you that she is thinking about the same things you are. And yes she has on a freaky dress robe also. Carly visibly relaxed. This technically was all her fault. She thought pulling her self together. The door clicked and Carly put on an unreadable expression.

"Your father wishes to see you." Malfoy sneered holding out his arm for her to take. Carly was calculating things really fast in her mind. She decided to play along and lightly accepted his arm. Malfoy smirked and lead her down a series off dark steps and halls stopping shortly at a large black marble door. He pulled the door open for her bowing as she passed. Carly took a deep breath and walked into the room with her head held high. She examined the room and had to stifle a gasp just to keep her cool. The room was made entirely out of black marble. To the door all the way to the three thrones on the other end. Dark figures cloaked in black and masked lined the walls watching her as she passed. A couple, she felt, sneered at her as she passed, but she ignored them looking straight ahead. She stopped short just before the steps leading up to the three thrones. On the shortest throne to the left sat a black cloaked woman who also wore a mask. She had a burn mark circling her neck which made Carly wonder. Carly looked at the other throne to the right of the bigger one. It was empty and was clearly waiting for someone to sit in it. This one was a slightly taller then the first throne, but not as tall as the middle one. At the throne in the middle of the other two sat a man who looked to be in his late thirties early forties. He to was clad in all black, but held no mask. His eyes where a crystal blue. Carly's eyes. The eyes seemed to be examining her, their thoughts unreadable. She locked eyes with the man and stared long and hard into them. He stared back, his expression not changing. They were practically daring the other to speak first. The man broke first, still keeping eye contact he stood up, "Caroline Mullet Riddle." He stated. It wasn't a question. Carly glared,

"No, it's just Caroline Mullet." The man smirked,

"You dare tell me I'm wrong brat?" He spat. The people lining the walls snickered. Carly stood up taller,

"And if I do?" The woman on the other throne flinched and stood up. The man turned towards the woman and with a wave of his hand she was sitting back in her seat unable to speak or move,

"Do you know who I am?" He asked slowly coming down the steps towards her. Carly didn't move,

"Yes."

"Who?"

"Voldemort." The people lining the walls hissed out at her, but Voldemort held up a hand to silence them.

"Who else?"

"Tom Riddle, my," She swallowed, "father." The cloaked people gasped a few dared speak,

"SILANCE!" He said glaring at the figures. They shut up instantly. He was now mere inches away from her, "So wouldn't that make you Caroline Mullet Riddle?" He questioned,

"Not technically." She breathed clenching her fists. The man smirked putting his cold hand under her chin,

"You go to Hogwarts correct?" Carly nodded slightly never letting her eyes leave his. He withdrew his hand and motioned towards the other throne. "That is were you sit." Carly drew in a breath,

"Why?"

"Because you belong there." He grabbed her arm and pulled her into the seat. There he stood over her, staring into her eyes, "And you belong to Gryffindor house?" Carly nodded, "Why?"

"Because the hat put her there!" Carly cringed as Lily bursted through the door running straight up behind Carly,

"Ahh…The mudblood tag-along." Voldemort said, "My, my, even if you are a mudblood you are very pretty." He said approaching Lily and putting a hand on her cheek. Carly snapped,

"Don't touch her." Voldemort turned towards Carly, who was now standing up,

"Jealous?" Carly's eyes flashed in Lily's direction hoping Lily caught on to her silent plea. She got it. Thank you,

"Yes." Carly stated now her unreadable expression on her face again. The Dark lord smirked,

"You too are very beautiful. That is why I have made a proposition for you." He said taking his seat back on the throne. With a wave of his hand Lily was forced into a chair and bound, "You Caroline have two options." Carly glared at him. He raised his eyebrows and motioned to the empty throne, "Sit." It wasn't a question. Carly threw one last glance at Lily and took a seat next to Voldemort. "One is that I am giving you a second chance of changing your ways. Being as who you are, you are very much needed."

"What?" Carly didn't understand,

"I mean being as you are my daughter and one of the most highly ranked woman now in the word, you are needed to-"

"To mate." Carly finished. She heard Lily gasp, but Carly's expression did not change,

"Precisely. That means that I will find the purest blood line out there and you shall be betrothed to this man. Then you must join me." He motioned to the empty throne besides him,

"What's in it for me?" Carly asked,

"We free the mudblood."

"What's the other option?" Lily said. Carly glared at her friend but turned her attention back to Voldemort,

"The other option is that if you refuse the first option we will kill the mudblood, hunt down your lover, his friends, and kill them. Either way you are going to end up mating it's just the first option is that only one man will…have you." Carly closed her eyes.

"Will you leave everyone else alone if I go with your first option?" Carly asked slowly.

"Carly No!" Lily screamed. Everyone seemed to ignore her except Carly, who threw a nervous look at Lily,

"Who's everyone else?" Voldemort hissed,

"Sirius, Lily, James, and Remus." She said simply touching the necklace again. The woman on Voldemort's other side screamed out in pain causing Voldemort to smirked,

"No Peter." Lily gasped. How did he know about them? Carly ignored Lily's gasp and sat up straighter,

"I don't trust the rat." She spat. Voldemort let out a hiss that might have been laughter. Carly was now looking at him in the face again,

"You do realize that you are in no position to bargain?" He said. Carly nodded,

"But without me saying yes there is no more little mini-Malfoy's running around." Carly said causing two of the dark figures to scream out. Voldemort raised an eyebrow,

"Who said it was Malfoy?"

"It was a lucky guess. Besides the only other pure bloods that you can trace back to far enough is the Black's and the Potter's." Lily let out a groan, causing Carly to blink for the first time, "We all know that I wouldn't mind the Black's or the Potter's but you wouldn't like either."

"You do know that either way you lose correct?" Carly nodded,

"Yes, but something could happen to me before you had the chance to…set anything up." Voldemort flinched as did Lily. Carly smirked, he needed her. Being one of the few young female pure-bloods (AN: Well as far as she knows) she had a large price on her head. A lot of lives rested on Carly's shoulders, she could either make them pure or mixed or not at all.

"There is more then one Black." Voldemort said. Carly didn't falter, she simply shrugged,

"You're straying from the original question." This girl was really treading on thin ice,

"Which was?" He asked between his teeth,

"Will you leave Sirius, Lily, James and Remus alone if I go with your first option?" Voldemort rubbed his chin,

"Fine." He lied easily,

"Can I have it written?" Carly asked,

"In blood. A wizard's oath." Lily added. Voldemort raised his eyebrows,

"Mudblood stop speaking before I kill you." Lily shut up. He turned towards Carly fingering his wand,

"Well?" She asked,

"No."

"Fine." Carly glanced around the room thinking hard. Her head was pounding and her neck was stiff. If this was a bad dream she had better wake up and soon, "Fine." She said again, "Will I be able to properly battle for my decisions?" She asked. Voldemort thought. This girl never missed a step did she? A snake that only now made her presence seen slithered over the back of his throne hissing in his ear, she truly is yours, but she is a Gryffindor which means she is brave, and loyal. She will do anything to save the life of her friend, even if it meant her own. Damn girl!

"Alright, but chose wisely. I will give you till three to think over your options." With that the chairs were gone and four black cloaked people were holding her and Lily. "The mudblood must not be harmed. Keep her with Caroline. If Caroline has anything resembling a bruise you will be killed." Voldemort said. With a wave of his hand he disappeared along with the woman next to him.

"What?" Dumbledore gasped clutching a letter in his hand,

"Carly and Lily are missing their not in their rooms and I like had a vision or something! Carly's alone in some room." Sirius yelled causing a few portraits to become outraged,

"It's true Albus. I had the same vision." Mrs. Potter said touching the burn on her neck. Dumbledore's eyes flashed to Sirius' neck where the same burn circled his neck.

"Are you sure neither of them is in the castle?" He asked. Remus nodded as did James, "How do you know?" James took a deep breath, grabbing the map from Remus he laid it out on the desk,

"Don't ask why or how, but this is the Marauders map. It doesn't lie." Dumbledore uttered a gasp; there his dot was in his office standing over his desk with the dots Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, James Potter, Harold Potter, and Adrianna Potter standing behind him. It was true Carly and Lily where not in the castle.

"Did you recognize the room?" He asked Adrianna. Mrs. Potter thought for a second. She had only been to one place once that was made out of all cement. And that had been Azkaban then she gasped,

"The castle behind Azkaban." Harold wrapped an arm around his wife,

"Voldemort's hide-out?" He asked. Dumbledore nodded and turned to the other boys,

"Is there something you need to tell me? Something important?" James and Remus opened their mouths, but Sirius cut them off,

"Yeah…Voldemort is Carly's birth…father…" Dumbledore sat as his desk with his head in his hands. How could I not see this? He asked himself. He snapped his fingers and a house elf appeared next to him, "Get Gideon and Minerva tell them to come up here. Now." The house elf nodded and was gone. Then he turned towards his phoenix, "Fawks get the other order members tell them to get here now. Get Carly's mother first." With a flash of light the phoenix was gone and seconds later the two professors ran into the room,

"What's wrong Albus?"

"Sit. This is going to be a little bit." Gideon's eyes flashed towards the boys in the corner. All of them had their heads bent and where whispering to each other. Where was the fourth one? He asked himself. Minerva seemed to be thinking the same thing,

"Where is Peter…and your clothes?" She asked. James and Sirius blushed and Mrs. Potter waved her wand covering both boys in clothes.

"He was right here a minute ago…" Remus said. Sirius shrugged a grim expression now on his face. Sirius didn't seem to notice the door fling open and the fire place grow as 30 people entered the small office,

"Who the bloody hell cares about bloody Pettigrew? Carly's missing!"

"So is Lily." James added lamely. Everyone gasped,

"Sit I will explain..." Dumbledore trailed off looking at the people in the room, "Where's Diane?" He asked. Everyone looked around and a burly red headed man stood up,

"She wasn't at work today sir. She's missing too."
