Well, people, here is another chapter of my beloved story. Today is September 28, my BIRTHDAY! YES, I'M FINALLY 19! I'm so happy! And you have made this day special; I have 54 reviews! You like it; you really, really like it!

Anyways, I have something to tell you all: counting this chapter, there are eight chapters left of the first part of this story. Yes, there is a sequel and it will be called Hell Raiser II: The Struggle. I will start writing it after I'm done with a story I promised to a friend of mine, Ming Ming, for her birthday last month. It's a humor/romance story featuring Hermione/Harry/Draco pairing. I'll explain this later.

Anyways, I'll thank my reviewers in the end or I'll never start.

Hell Raiser: The Pact

By: K.L. Bloodfang

Chapter 9: A Meeting of Old Friends

"Good Evening, My Lord. What may I do for you tonight?", asked Permafrost, greeting him.

"My boy, the time has come for your initiation", answered the Dark Lord. "Stand up and follow me."

The Ice prince stood up and silently walked behind Voldemort. He led the boy to a dark room which held an altar lid with red and black candles. In the middle, chained to the altar, was a little girl of no more that 7 years of age. Once the Dark Lord and his heir were standing next to the girl, the rest of the Death Eaters entered the room, each wearing their white mask and black robes.

"We are gathered here tonight, to officially present my successor, Permafrost, The Ice Prince, to you my followers", said the Dark Lord. He then turned around to face Permafrost. "But first, you must pass one final test. See this little child? You must torture and murder this child, using the Unforgivables." Behind his mask, Permafrost stared dumbfounded at his Master. He walked in front of the little girl and looked into her tear-stained face.

"Please, mister, don't hurt me. Please", pleaded the little girl, but her please fell into deaf ears.

"CRUCIO!"

'Frost's curse stroked the girl in her heart, making her scream and twist in pain. After a few minutes of torture, Permafrost lifted the curse from the little child. He then again pointed his hand at the girl.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

The small child died instantly, her little body hitting the floor with a soft thud. Permafrost stabbed the girl's body with his hellish sword, draining it of its magical energy and blood. Voldemort applauded his heir's work and soon he was joined by his followers.

"This is my heir, your Master. You are to treat him with the same respect as you treat me. Whatever he says, goes, unless I say otherwise", said the Dark Lord, addressing his Death Eaters. He then turned to his successor and placed his hands on the boy's shoulders.

"Well done, my son. You have made me proud."

"I aim to please you father."

A group of stunned souls stared at Reaper's big screen TV as he replayed these same images over and over again. Many were disgusted and enraged at their 'hero's' abominable acts. They couldn't believe they not only joined the Death Eaters and became the Dark Lord's Heir, but he killed a young girl using the Avada Kedavra curse. Lily Evans cried grief-stricken on her husbands shoulders, unable to believe what her son had just done.

"James, how could he do something like that? He tortured and killed that little girl with the Unforgivables!", said Lily between sobs.

"Calm down, Lily. He did it to get Voldemort's trust; he isn't truly evil. Besides he drew in the girl's blood and energy so she'll be brought back to life! Don't worry about a thing", said James to his wife.

"Yes, that's true, but he still used the Avada Kedavra curse on her. He made Voldemort stronger! What was he thinking!", yelled Sirius Black, slamming his fist on the TV, waking Reaper from his stupor.

"Enough! Stop yelling and slamming your fists on my television, Black! You want to know what he was thinking, I'll go find out", said the Reaper standing from his chair and walking straight into his TV, appearing and sitting inside Permafrost's room. Everyone stared at Reaper through the television completely dumbfounded.

"Remus, how does he do that?", asked Sirius.

"I don't know, Sirius. I don't know", answered Remus staring wide-eyed at the screen.

Permafrost walked silently beside his new father. His mind played his initiation ceremony again and again, specially the little girl's last breath. He walked in a trance all the way to his room, when his father's voice woke him from his day dream.

"My prince, what bothers you? You do not feel sorry for taking that young mudblood's life, do you?", asked the Dark Lord to his son.

"Sorry? Of course not father! It's just that using the Killing Curse to murder my victims is not my style. It's not bloody enough; they die to quickly, their suffering diminished. The Cruciatus Curse is a whole other thing, though. Do you understand, father?"

"Yes, I do. I will make you a deal: as long as the rest of your followers use the Killing Curse, you may kill your victims any way your heart pleases."

'Any way? Hmm… All that blood, the screams, the torture, the snacks. My mind boggles with all the possibilities', thought Permafrost, with a wicked smile on his face. "Very well father, we have a deal, father. It is late; I wish to rest."

"I'll see you tomorrow, then. We have to make plans; the only thing in the way of complete control of the Wizarding World is the Ministry of Magic and its time they are taken care of. Sleep and rest; it will be a very tiring day tomorrow."

Voldemort hugged Permafrost quickly and left to his own chambers. The Ice Prince smirked at the Dark Lord and entered his room. He was greeted by the seemingly angry Reaper.

"Well, it has been a while since our last meeting, Reaper. What may I do for you, tonight?" asked Permafrost, sitting on a black, leather chair.

"What do you think you are doing! You're supposed to kill Voldemort, not become his heir and/or son! You're mother is very distress with all you actions and everyone else is very disappointed", yelled Reaper at the young man. The Ice Prince stood from his chair and grabbed Reaper by his throat.

"What do you she's distress and disappointed! You told them about all this!", asked the pissed off Permafrost.

"No, they saw it. I have a big screen TV in Limbo. Now can you let go off my throat, I can't breathe", answered Reaper, blue on the face. Permafrost dropped him, but still glared at him.

"Since when!"

"Since we made the deal."

"Oh. Look, I wasn't planning on becoming Voldemort's heir. I just wanted to get his trust."

"That worked extremely well, don't you think?", said Reaper sarcastically.

"I know. I had to kill that little girl, I had no other choice. She is with you, right?", asked 'Frost worried.

"Yes, she's there. She'll be back. But why didn't you drew in Pettigrew's and Lestrange's power?"

"Simple. They do not deserve to come to life. They were given a second chance and they turned back to their master. Pettigrew killed my parents by betraying them and Lestrange killed my godfather. Do you believe they deserve to live?", asked Permafrost, looking Reaper in the eyes.

"No, I think that they belong an Eternity in Limbo as well. Now, answer me this. Why the Hell do you eat people? That is so revolting." Permafrost laughed slightly at the Reaper's face of disgust.

"Have you ever tried human flesh? No? Try it, you will like it. It is very tender and soft. And there is nothing better to down it with than warm, velvety, human blood. Man, it makes my mouth water", said the Ice Prince with a dazed smile on his face. "Anyways, Reaper, don't worry about a thing. I will kill Voldemort before my time is done and I will bring my family and friends back to life."

"Good! I was beginning to think you had fallen into the Dark Side." Permafrost just looked strangely at Reaper, but he just sighed.

"Reaper, don't EVER watch Star Wars AGAIN."

"Yeah, sorry. Well, I leave you to your plans my friend and remember, you have three months left."

Reaper stood up from 'Frost's bed and disappeared through a vortex on the floor. The Ice Prince changed into a pair of black sweatpants and jumped on his bed.

'They may be able to see my actions, but not my thoughts. They still haven't figured out my plans. Idiots, they will regret underestimating and over trusting the Ice King!' thought Permafrost smirking as he fell into beautiful, blood-filled dreams.

Well, I'm done! I know THIS chapter is crap. Any ways… time to talk to my faithful reviewers that have made my B-day so special.

dArK-dAeMoIs-DeA: I know, I know. But I can't always kill people in all the chapters. Sighs Trust me, I love the blood, gore, and murders. That's my favorite part of the whole story. But don't worry, I promise the end will be very bloody!

lilime7Fae: I know he is weird. He won't live for long though. I'm glad that you liked the story.

Never Odd Or eveN: I'm glad you like the plot! It came to me in a dream… and here is the update.

spinnerofdark: Don't worry, he will be reunited with his family, eventually. But for know, he won't. If he is reunited with them, the story would end and this is too soon.

Voldemort'sPrincess: REALLY? You'll read this story? cries like an idiot I'm so happy! I didn't want to lose a reviewer! And don't worry, I promise you I will write a Voldemort/Harry slash story!

GoddessMoonLady: I know! evil grin And by the way, they tasted like chicken milano, so says Permafrost himself. Yep yep. Thank you so much for the support.

Another thing that I must say is that I won't be able to update twice a week anymore. My modem is crap and I have to wait for Ming Ming to stay in my house to get use her laptop. So thank Ming Ming for her laptop. I will be updating on Wednesday or Thursday. I apologize as well for the shortness of the chapter.

Well, good bye and REVIEW!
