Belletrix smiled as Shayne winced. He could see his Mother so clearly in his mind.
" What happened afterwards? " she laughed.
Shayne sighed. " I kept on running and when I could no longer breathe , I remember my legs giving away and colaspsing on the street. I clawed the ground still trying to move , still trying to get away. I felt low like a crinimal. I was sixteen... a boy. I heard voices around me and I saw a crowd gathering. People were screaming. He's covered in blood...someone get a healer...the boy's injured. I started crying. My eyes were dazed , I didn't know where I was and then you came." Shayne pointed at his uncle. " Thats my nephew , get out of my way. Thats my nephew. I remember those words clearly. I looked up at you and I started..."
" You started " said his Uncle. " You started to scream. " She's dead Uncle...He killed her...he killed Mum. I thought you meant a Death Eater , not your Father. I grabbed you by the shoulders and pulled you up. I told you everything would be okay. You kept saying they came into the house and attacked your Mother and you. I knew I would have to care for you from this day on. We never found his body ...I thought Voldemort..."
Belletrix laughed. " We disposed of it , he became an Inferi."
" For the next few years I noticed you became less sociable " said his Uncle. " You were clearly a very attractive boy , tall , muscular , handsome face , lovely eyes. It seemed a shame you would..."
" Shut myself away " continued Shayne. " What else could I do. I had witnessed my Mothers death and killed my own Father. I went to school as usual. Sure I had friends but I was always uptight. I never went to parties or stayed up late and I didn't get involved with girls till my seventh year and even then I was scared. I just studied and studied , because all the time running through my head was , Shayne you have no Mother , no Father all you have left is a future and if you dont study and become something great , you wont have any future either. So I studied like crazy and I got the grades I had always wanted. I trained to be an Auror and I got a job at the ministry. I then met this wonderfull Girl in your bookstore uncle. A really smart girl about four years younger than me. I really liked her and I was going to ask her out on a date but she was already taken. Even now I regret seeing her ,because she's all I think about."
" Who? " smirked Belletrix.
His Uncle stirred. " It wouldn't be Her..."
" No " cried Shayne suddenly. He glared at his uncle.
His Uncle nodded. He realised this was the friend of Harry Potter , Voldemorts enemy.
" Go on " said Belletrix. " Who was it?"
" I...ah...I cant remember. It was a long time ago."
Belletrix frowned. " She's all you think about and yet you have forgotten her name."
" I told you " snarled Shayne. " It was a long time ago."
Belletrix smiled. " Say goodbye to your Uncle now Shayne."
" What?"
" You're coming with me."
" I dont think so."
" Oh but I do. You see having killed your Father. You aren't in a good position to negociate."
" I'll tell them why I did it and then we'll see who's to blame."
" You see Shayne. First of all the ministry wont like the fact that one of their Aurors Father was death eater. Second , it may shock them to discover he used an illeagal curse and thirdly ,No one condones Murder in this world Shayne , so even your little act of honour towards your Mother will land you a life sentence in Azkaban and certainly affect your future career."
" You cant blackmail me."
" I can Shayne and I will. The dark Lord requires you and you will depart with me immediatly or suffer the consequences."
" Uncle..."
" Do it Lad. Dont be a fool."
" Even the old man has sense Shayne."
" I wont become like my Father. Intimadated by murderers."
" You will become like your Father very soon if you dont co-operate, you'll become very dead if you dont co-operate."
" Uncle what about honour? What about regaining pride and suffering for what is right?"
His Uncle shook his head. " Times have changed."
" But self respect hasn't."
" Your Mother would not want you to die..."
" Maybe I want too " yelled Shayne. " Maybe I am fed up with living. Maybe I should be at peace from my nightmare , everyday life."
" You dont mean it Lad."
He nodded. " I wont bend over. Mum didn't and I refuse to become a slave forever battling for a pysco's attention."
Belletrix waved her wand and locked the door. " You wont be leaving this room."
Shayne sighed. " Please..."
" Sorry Love. But I got orders and orders are orders. Bring the boy back alive."
He nodded. " Alive?"
" Yes. Not dead. Alive."
Shayne looked at his uncle. " If I go. Do you promise to leave my uncle alone."
Belletrix scowled. " I'm in charge here. But yes...the Dark Lord has no interest in that bag of bones. He wants you and you only."
Shayne nodded and stood up. He hugged his uncle and walked towards the door. She waved the wand and the latchs were released. He tugged at the door handle but it would not budge.
" Stupid handle " he muttered. He kept pulling.
" Oh let me " said Belletrix and she stepped forward. She placed her hand on the handle and the door opened freely.
" See it does...ahhhhhh." Shayne whipped around and kicked her wand from out of her hand. He raised his and shouted " STUPIFY." She fell to the ground with a thud. His uncle beamed at him.
Shayne stepped over her body and frowned. " Stupid Cow " he snarled. " What do you take me for... a fool?"
