Chapter Four
Ebony snuck out of the castle that night. She was determined to find out what had spooked out her sister earlier that day. It didn't take her long to get to the Forbidden Forrest. She knew she wasn't supposed to go in there, but since when did she listen to rules. Plus it scared her sister and nothing had ever scared her sister before. Ebony entered the forest. She took her wand out.
"Lumos," Ebony whispered.
The tip of her wand lit up.
"Expelliarmus," Ebony hears from behind.
Ebony's wand flies out of her hand. She turns around and finds a death eater standing there. She charged at the death eater as fast as she could.
"Crucio," the death eater said before Ebony was able to reach him.
Ebony dropped to her knees in agony. She let out blood curdling scream as the pain rippled through her entire body.
"Expelliarmus," Draco screams at the death eater from behind.
The wand flies out of death eaters hand. The curse ends. Ebony falls to the floor limp. The death eater summons his wand, but before it got to him Draco yelled out another curse.
"petrificus totalus," Draco yelled before the death eater was able to turn around. Draco ran over to Ebony. He looks over at the death eater. The robes looked oddly familiar. Draco got up and went over to the death eater. He took the death eaters hood off and fell backwards when he saw who was standing there.
"Holy shit!" exclaimed Draco.
Draco froze where he lay. He couldn't form whole thoughts at all. Just then a man wearing extremely different clothes came out of the woods. He scooped Ebony up and carried her back deep into the Forbidden Forrest. Draco came to his senses and ran as fast as he could to the castle. The first person he came across was Satiana. He ran up to her.
"Ebb…Ebb…"
Draco couldn't get the words out. Satiana shook Draco.
"Spit it out!"
"Ebb was just taken by some blonde dude in the forest," Draco managed.
Satiana let him go and turned and ran up the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Draco shouted after her.
Satiana ignores Draco and goes to the tower. After giving the password to the fat lady she dashes up to the dormitories. She began searching through her chest for her bow and arrows. She made so much noise that Hermione and Ginny woke up. Satiana went to leave when Hermione tried to stop her.
"Where are you going with those weapons?" Hermione demanded.
"None of your damn business bitch. Now move out of the way," snapped Satiana.
"I can't let you leave with those weapons. You could hurt someone. And besides it's past bed time. We're not allowed out of here at this time of night," Hermione said as a matter of fact.
Satiana pushed Hermione out of the way and dashed out of the castle. She ran to the grounds and through the forest as fast as she her legs could carry her. She ran deep into the forest until she reached Rivendell. Her home. A place she hadn't seen since her mother had disappeared and her and her sister had been sent to Salem academy. As she walked up the steps to the staircase her Uncle Elladan came out to meet her.
"I knew it wouldn't be long before you came after your sister," Elladan told her.
"Where is she Uncle Elladan?"
"Your Grandfather is talking care of Ebony and you can see her as soon as he's done," Elladan told them.
Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Draco came running towards them. Elladan pulls out his bow and arrow and points it at the three.
"Who are you and what business do you have in Rivendell?" Elladan demands in a loud authoritative voice.
"I'm Professor McGonagall, I'm Satiana's head of house and this is Professor Snape, he's the head of Ebony's house," Professor McGonagall.
"Who's the kid?" Elladan asked.
"This is Draco Malfoy, he's Ebony's friend," replied Professor McGonagall.
Elladan looks to Satiana for confirmation. Satiana nodded. Elladan lowered his bow and arrow. Elrond came out and went over to them.
"Good Evening," Elrond turns to Satiana, "You may go see your sister Satiana."
Elrond looks at the robes she's wearing.
"And change out of those horrid robes your wearing," Elrond added.
"Uma Grandfather," Satiana said before going inside leaving Elrond and Elladan with Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Draco.
"As soon as Satiana is done visiting her sister we would like to take both of them back to the school so Ebony will have the care she needs," Professor McGonagall explained.
"We will allow Satiana to go back, but we will keep Ebony in our care," Elrond told them.
Before Professor McGonagall could say anything to fight Elrond's decision Satiana comes back out in her new elvish dress. It was green with light green embroidery.
"There's no way in hell I'm going back to that god forsaken castle," exclaims Satiana.
Elrond turns to face his granddaughter.
"You will go back," Elrond told her, "But you may visit your sister when you have a break between your classes."
"Some Grandfather you are," Satiana mumbled before storming back inside.
"I heard that."
"Good. I wanted you to," Satiana said before slamming the door behind her.
"I don't know where she gets that attitude," Elrond said to himself.
"You mean that's not a family trait?" Draco asked.
"What do you mean?" Elrond asked.
"Ebony has the same attitude, just not all the time," Draco replied.
Elrond sighs.
"I'll have Satiana back at school by tomorrow," Elrond promises them.
"Thank you," Professor McGonagall said.
She didn't bother talk about Ebony. She knew he wouldn't let her be taken back to Hogwarts until she was better. They said their goodbyes and Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Draco left to go back to Hogwarts. Elrond goes to look for his granddaughter. He finds her on a bridge over looking the water.
"You know I'm not going back," Satiana told him when she saw him.
"But you have to go back. It will be good for you," Elrond told her.
"There's nothing I could learn there that i haven't learned or could learn here."
Elrond sighed not knowing how he can change her mind. He leaves her and goes back to see how Ebony is doing. When he had left Legolas comes over.
"Mae govannen Satiana," Legolas said.
Satiana turns around turns around and smiled.
"Nae saian lumme' Legolas," Satiana said.
"I heard you go back to the school. It'll be safer for you and your sister if you stay there," Legolas said.
"Oh yeah it's so safe. Look what happened to my sister. I'm sick and tired of everyone thinking they know what's best for me."
"The Satiana I knew would never acted like this," Legolas said.
"Well the Satiana you knew is gone. She left a long time ago."
A/N: Mae govannen means well met. Nae saian lumme means it's been a long time. Uma is yes.
