CHAPTER 25: Lost Memories!
Anna was thrown back into her cell for what seemed like the millionth time. She had no idea what month it was let alone day, but she did know she's been there for about two months. Anna understood why they didn't just get it over with and kill her, Voldemort needed her, well her memories to be exact.
Everyday she would recieve a piece of rotten bread and brown water, then taken back to the same room. Voldemort would torture her making her weak, then go through her memories full force. Although every time he went through them, her memories seemed to be faint.
Anna could barley remember her brother and sister, It was as if he was sucking the memories out of her. She knew he was getting frustrated, the memories of her and Harry were gaurded deep down inside and she was protecting it with everything she had.
'He even saw my worst memories yet still couldn't get to Harry.' Anna thought confused, ' why are they so important to me? I shouldn't care after what he did to me.' Anna sighed she knew she still cared for him, but felt something...more.
She quickly shook her head, ' I'm fifteen I don't even know what love is.' She said to herself, yet couldn't help feeling confused.
Anna looked up at the sound of creaking bars and saw the normal goon coming in to take her away. About four hours later she was thrown back into her cell.
Anna could barely sit up, he was getting close to the memories he needed, yet she felt that all he had to do was go into her head only one more time.
'I'm not going to let that happen!' She thought forcefully and shook her head viewing her own memories. She decided to start with her family.
'There's that little girl and boy.' Anna got scared she couldn't remember thier names! ' Tyler and Elizebeth!' She finished, Anna sighed relieved.
'My mom's name is...is..' Anna couldn't believe it she forgot her own mother! She tried everything her home address, her old telephone number, what Snape looked like, nothing! Even her first day of Hogwarts was a blur. Anna put her knees to her chest and hugged herself.
" I'm losing my memories." She whispered with tears in her eyes.
" A terrible side affect." Anna looked up to see a cloacked figure opening her cell.
(A/N: I was going to stop here...but I'm not that mean!)
Anna studied the figure for a moment, trying to recall his name. Then she looked at his gelled back, short, blonde hair.
"DRACO!" She said suddenly remembering. Draco nodded and pulled his hood down, Anna looked at him with sympathy. Draco's face was black and blue all over, his left eye was so swollen that it looked like he was squinting.
" What happened to you?" She asked softly. Draco quickly put his hood back up.
" It was a punishment for not doing my appointed task, from father." He said coldly.
" That task was?" Anna pressed on, Draco sighed and leaned in so she could hear his whispers.
" That day, when you were captured, it wasn't me Anna! I swear!" He said in a rushed voice.
" I know the affects of the Imperious curse Draco." She said softly. " I don't blame you."
Draco scoffed and sat down on the dirty ground next to her, " you should." He admitted.
Anna looked confused, " why?"
All of the sudden footsteps were heard and Draco hid in the shadows of the cell. The two watched on as a group of Deatheaters stormed down the walkway. After they were gone Draco pulled her into the shadows with him.
" Draco?" Anna whispered, she couldn't see everything was pitch black.
"That night at the ball," Draco started in a low voice, " I lied to you. I wasn't nice to you because Snape was my godfather, I was assigned from the Dark Lord to befriend you. Then take you here when the time was right." He admited softly.
Anna was shocked, she looked down, " so why didn't you go through with it." She asked with anger in her voice.
" I finally realised that my father was a liar." He said coldly.
" Oh, so you just now realised , that your father was a Deatheater and that he uses his money and position at the ministry to scare people?" Anna scoffed, " I thought you were smart Draco." She said rolling her eyes.
" Oh, I always knew that." He replied, Anna could picutre him with that stupid smirk on his face.
" It was just, he always told me family and blood is the most important thing. Especially family." Draco took a breath. " Snape was more of a father to me than Lucius, he was the one I would talk to at Hogwarts, he was the one who would look after me." He said sadly.
" Then one day as I was looking through my father's things I heard him talking to Wormtail." He started.
" Wormtail?" Anna asked with a raised eyebrow.
Draco let out a chuckle, " the fat, gruffy fellow that's always a step behind the Dark Lord's." He smirked as Anna nodded her head in understanding.
" Anyways," he continued, " I heard about his 'plot' to get Snape. I couldn't believe it, I could never do that. I am a Slytherin, we may not be honest but we do not betray the ones we care for." He finished.
" How'd you get those brusies?" Anna asked sadly.
" I confronted Lucius about it after Wormtail left, he said it was all for the 'Dark Lord' and went into a ranting speech about being 'loyal'."
He paused and collected himself, " I told him how I wouldn't do that to my godfather, and how Voldemort himself was halfblood so he should leave you two alone. Let's just say my father's not used to rejection." He said in a cold voice.
" Alright, you apologised, now go." Anna said putting a hand on his shoulder. " I have a feeling that Voldemort is not going to need me very soon. " She said defeatedly.
Draco pulled out his wand, and stepped into the light. He grabbed her and help her up and gave her it.
" What are you doing?" Anna asked taking his wand.
" The exit is upstairs on the left. Go down the right corridor and pass four doors, count only four. The hallway is charmed into making you think it's never ending. This is the only chance your going to get to escape, on the count of three stuptify me." He explained.
Anna shook her head no, " this is never going to work there are to many-"
" 2! " Draco started, getting prepared.
" What happened to one? Draco this is insane!" Anna yelled.
" 3!" Draco yelled. Anna stood there with her arms crossed.
" You leave me no choice then." Draco sighed, Anna looked confused then was pushed out of her cell. She looked back to see Draco wandless and locked in.
" GAURDS!" He screamed faking a pained face.
Anna looked to the side to see two Deatheaters bursting through the door. She turned to Draco as he mouthed the word ' run'. Anna nodded and set off down the hall to go upstairs.
" She has my wand! Hurry she's escaping!" Draco yelled. The two Deatheaters nodded and soon followed her path.
" Good luck Anna." Draco whispered leaning against the bars.
Anna ran to the right hall and opened the door to see an illusion of hundreds perhaps thousands of doors. Anna remebered what Draco told her and started counting four doors.
She turned to hear heavy footsteps and commands to catch her. Anna quickly counted and opened the door to see a backyard, more like a eden, leading into a forest.
The cool night air wipped her hair around her face and greeted her with fresh air. She sighed, happy to be out of that place. Although quickly remembered that's she still isn't safe.
' I only need to go far enough to apparate.' She thought as she started running to the forest ahead of her. She then felt the result of sitting in a cell for months trying not concentrate on to much movement.
She felt her knees starting to buckle, she bit her lip and concentrating on the forest only a few feet ahead. Anna then heard heavy footsteps behind her.
"CRUCIO!" Anna didn't have enough time to defend herself and crumpled to the ground in pain. She knew that voice all to well.
" So you thought you could escape?" Hissed Voldemort.
Anna felt the burning in her throat and was in to much pain to speak. She felt the curse lift off her and she managed to get stand back up on her weak legs.
" What was going through that head of yours?" He asked with fake confusion. A twisted smile crept it's way onto his face.
" Let's take a look!" He hissed and then entered her head full force.
Anna saw some of the few memories she had left flash through her head. Then it stopped at a particular one of her, and Harry talking.
" YESS!" Voldemort hissed, " Harry will be mine!" He declared.
" NO HE WON'T!" She screamed, she had to do this, for everyone she loved.
"NEVER!" She screamed as she used all the power she had left and pushed him out of her mind. The power was so great that Voldemort was caught off gaurd.
Before he could protect himself there was a gold aura sorrounding her as Voldemort and his Deathers were knocked to thier feet a couple yards away.
Anna stumbled back and closed her eyes, and concentrated on the one place she could think of. A pop was heard as Anna arrived a few feet away from the Leaky Couldren.
She stumbled trying to get to the door, it seemed as though it was late at night and it seemed deserted. She soon felt dizzy and couldn't hold herself up anymore. Anna then saw a couple coming down the street together.
" HELP!" She called out, as everything got blury and soon faded into black.
