A/N: I just wanna make sure that we are clear on the timing. The two different scenes in the last chapter happened at the same time. That's the only reason Angel didn't dream about it. This chapter starts out the next morning. I'm going to try something different with this chapter. Instead of telling each side clumped together, I'm going to switch back and forth between parties. Let me know, though if it gets too confusing for you. And just a small FYI; Voldemort is Ginny's master but Lucius is her keeper.
ANNIKA
She was sitting in a pitch black room with her back to the door. She couldn't see anything but she heard hissing and slithering. She even thought she heard the sound of tiny feet crawling across the floor. Suddenly, the entire room was illuminated. She saw the room was literally crawling with snakes and spiders. She could handle anything except snakes and spiders. She turned to the doorand frantically searched for a door knob. When she found one, she turned it but found that it was locked.
"No!" she cried and started banging on the door. "Let me out please! Let me out!" she begged tears filling her eyes. She continued pounding on the door and heard someone laughing on the other side. "Please!" she begged some more.
She felt the spiders begin to crawl up her body as she stood there. She tried to brush them off but there were too many of them. They wouldn't stop coming. She begged for the door to open as she began to panic. One of the snakes had started to wrap itself around her legs. It didn't squeeze hard enoug to hurt her. It was just enough to restrain her. She reached down to pry it off but it snapped at her.
Alarmed by its response, she jumped and lost her balance. She tumbled to the floor on hitting her left side hard. Another snake began wrapping itself around the rest of her body. Once again, it was only acting as a restraint.
"Please!" she cried again. "Help me! Get them off!"
Tears were falling as she continued to beg. Suddenly, the spiders began to crawl into her mouth, gagging her. She tried to cry out some more but nothing happened. The two snakes that were binding her began to squeeze. She felt several of her bones break but was unable to scream because of the spiders. The laughing grew louder as she struggled to get a breath but the spiders just kept coming.
Annika's eyes snapped open. She was once again lying naked on the dungeon floor. She was gasping for breath as she looked into the face of Draco Malfoy. He held a potion vial up for her to see with a smirk on his face.
He then leaned down and stroked her cheek.
"Good morning, love." he whispered.
HARRY
Harry had taken to sleeping in his chair next to Angel's bed. He didn't want her to have to wake up from one of her dreams and be alone. He knew how difficult they were for her to deal with and he did what he could to make it easier. Thankfully, she had slept through most of the night.
Harry had been awake for at least a half hour and was terribly hungry but he didn't want to leave her. They never really knew when the dreams were going to come on. Aside from him not wanting her to wake up from one alone, he knew the Weasleys, McGonagall, and Snape had no idea about them. Experiencing the after math of one was no way to find out.
Harry watched Angel sleep for a few more minutes before it happened. Angel started thrashing around. She wasn't shouting or anything this time. Just thrashing and crying. Harry wasn't sure if it was a normal dream or one about Annika. Usually, Angel would be screaming and he could gather everything from that. This time, however, she just looked really scared.
Harry walked to her and began shaking her.
"Wake up, Angel." he said. "It's just a dream. Nothing can hurt you if you wake up."
It took him a few minutes but Angel finally opened her eyes. There were still tears in them. She looked utterly terrified but unscathed.
"What happened?" Harry asked.
"I don't know." Angel replied. "She was asleep in the dungeon when he came in. He force fed her some kind of potion and started whispering in her ear. Then she started thrashing and begging for someone to let her go and get them off. At one point she started gagging and he just laughed. I don't know what he was doing to her but she was terrified."
Angel started crying into Harry chest. Harry stroked her hair and made shushing noises.
"It's okay." he said. "We're going to get her out of there."
He wasn't sure if he was trying to reassure Angel or himself.
ANNIKA
"Guess what?" Malfoy whispered wiping sweat of her forehead.
"I don't feel like playing." Annika gasped.
She hadn't yet recovered from the dream. He slapped her.
"Don't speak to me like that!" he yelled.
"My apologies, master." she replied sarcastically. "I don't have any idea what you could possibly say to me."
Malfoy simply smirked at her.
"The Dark Lord is inducting another Death Eater tonight." he said after a few moments of smirking. "Which mean we have to get you cleaned up and ready."
Annika's heart sped up in her chest. She hasn't had to do an induction since Fred and that was almost a year ago. Those were so much worse than anything Malfoy could ever do to her. She had hoped that they were finished with them.
"Don't worry." Malfoy sneered. "The Dark Lord is letting him choose between you, the Mudblood, and the Blood Traitor so you might not have anything to worry about."
Those words didn't do much to comfort her. She'd rather it was her and not Ginny or Hermione. They had no experience with the inductions. They could both be killed.
"Leave them out of it!" she yelled.
"That's not my choice." Malfoy sneered. "But we can't worry about them now. We have to get you ready."
Annika cringed as Malfoy grabbed her hair by the roots and dragged her up the stairs.
HARRY
Once Angel calmed down, Harry left her to get dressed while he went to his room to do the same. She was waiting outside her door when he got finished. They made their way to the kitchen. Harry was surprised to find Mrs. Weasley cooking breakfast.
"Harry, Angel, good morning." she said brightly. "Have a seat. This batch of eggs is almost ready."
As Harry sat down he wanted to tell Mrs. Weasley that her cooking wasn't necessary but thought better of it. He figured she was doing this for the same reason he, George, and Angel trained so hard. They wanted to distract themselves from reality. And Mrs. Weasley was facing the worst reality possible. True, she just got threee of her sons back but she faced the possibility of never seeing he daughter again. Top that off with a son who turned his back on his family and it was enough to drive anyone crazy.
He took the seat next to Mr. Weasley who was drinking a cup of coffee. George and Ron were sitting on the otherside of the table practically inhaling every bit of food they could. Harry couldn't blame them. He too had missed Mrs. Weasley's cooking. He and Angel politely accepted and ate everything that she put on their plate. Slowly, the other occupants in the house made their way to the kitchen. Mrs. Weasley was happy to make anyone anything they wanted.
Once everyone had their share of food, Dumbledore got to his feet.
"Normally, after breakfast, I'd send Harry, Ron, George, and Angel off for their training. However, there is some more we must discuss today." he stated. "The first thing we need to do is finish talking about Angel. In order for us to get anywhere in any of this, you must fully understand who she is. Remus, would you care to continue with the story? You know it better than anyone else here."
ANNIKA
Malfoy dragged Annika to a dingy looking bathroom. She assumed that it was one meant for the servants. He threw her in the tub and put the plug in. The he turned on the tap for the hot water. Just the hot. Annika cringed as the tub filled and the scalding water hit most of her body. Malfoy just smirked. Once the tub was completely filled, he performed a spell that would keep it from cooling down.
He then proceeded to scrub her entire body with unrelenting force. He scrubbed until her skin was nearly raw. He took extra care when it came to her private parts. When he started on her hair, he dug his nails deep into her scalp. She wouldn't have been surprised if he drew blood. She cringed as he rinsed her off with water hotter than what was already in the tub.
Malfoy had a pile of clothes waiting for her on the sink when she got out. He dried her off, once again, taking extra care of her private areas. Annika wanted to him that she was perfectly capable of doing this stuff on her own but knew he'd hurt her if she talked back.
"Put those on." Malfoy ordered after drying her off.
The outfit consisted of a skirt that barely covered anything with holes in the places that were covered. The top wasn't much better. It was best describe as half a tank top. There was enough material to cover her breasts but it was so low cut that it didn't matter. He brushed her hair, not too gently and pulled it into a high tight ponytail.
Once she was all ready, he placed her in the cage in his room while he began getting ready for that evening.
HARRY
Remus walked to the front of the room. He looked like he was very unsure of how all of this could go. Harry wasn't sure how the newcomers would take it either so he just sat there holding his breath.
Remus continued the story from last night. (A/N: I was gonna go through all the details again but it's getting late and I don't want to be boring.) He explained that Angel was Annika's twin and how Kristy seperated them for their own safety. He told them about the bind Kristy put on Angel and how Angel was too powerful for it to hold. He explained that Angel's power to see the future was still fighting it's way through but she was working very hard on it. The end of the story was met by a shocked silence.
Harry didn't think anyone was sure whether they should believe it or not. Mrs. Weasley stared at Angel for a minute then turned to Dumbledore.
"So what do we do now?" she asked.
"Our main goal is to get Ginny, Hermione, and Annika back." Dumbledore explained. "It shouldn't be too hard because we have the element of surprise. Voldemort will not be expecting an attack, let alone from Harry, George, and Ron. The challenge will be getting them in far enough without blowing the secret too early."
"With all do respect," Mr. Weasley stated. "How are we supposed to do that? They out number this little group of witches and wizards."
"That's true, Arthur," Dumbledore answered. "However, I have called this group together because, I trust that you will not ruin our secret. I will be getting the other Order members together and keeping them informed of the plan. They, of course, will not know about the invovlement of our secret weapons until the night of the attack. That way we'll have plenty of help but not lose the element of surprise."
Mr. Weasley nodded his agreement.
"I do have one more thing to say before we get started. I called you all together but you are the most trusted in the Order. I believe that you will keep this secret until its time to reveal it. However, you all know the dangers of going against Voldemort and I don't want to force any of you to do anything you don't want to do. So if there is anyone who wishes not to participate in this please speak now and you will be allowed to leave once we have modified your memory." Dumbledore explained.
Harry looked around the room expecting someone to object to all of this. No one stood or said anything.
"Alright then." Dumbledore stated after a minute. "Harry, George, Ron, Angel, please go with Chris and get started on your training for the day. The rest of us will begin work on a plan."
Knowing their training was more important than helping with the plan, Harry, George, Ron, and Angel followed Chris out of the ktichen.
ANNIKA
At a quarter to eight, Malfoy dragged Annika out of the cage. He performed the spell to bind her hands behind her back. With another wave of his wand, a manacle was around her neck, there was a chain extended from it, kind of like a leash. Malfoy used it to pull Annika to the ballroom in Malfoy Manor, where the induction was to be held.
Fred and Lucius were already down there with Ginny and Hermione. Both girls were dressed just like Annika only there skirts varied in wholiness, as did their shirts. They had both been groomed as well. Their hair, however, was different. Hermione's was in what looked to be an uncomfortably tight french braid. Ginny's had been braided into pigtails. Both of them had tears in their eyes as the kneeled next to Fred and Lucius. The were bound in the same fashion Annika had been. They had no idea what could possibly be in store for them tonight. Annika wished she could tell them what to expecte but knew they'd all get hurt if she said anything. Instead, she contented herself with hoping whoever was being inducted chose her instead of one of them.
Malfoy shoved her to the floor next to the other two. He then started whispering with Fred and Lucius. Annika was on too low a level to hear anything. Slowly, the room started filling with Death Eaters. The girls kept their eyes to the floor knowing they'd get in trouble if they were caught looking at any of the men.
All too soon, the girls were dragged to the center of the Death Eater circle. The owners left them their in the toad position. (A/N: That means the were on their knees bowing with their faces to the floor. When I was in the King and I, we referred to it as the toad position.) Not one of them moved as they waited for the arrival of the Dark Lord. Annika heard his voice sooner than she would've liked.
"My loyal followers, today is a special day. You will, once again, be accepting a new member into your ranks. This young man has been serving me for over a year but now that he's out of school, he wants to make it official." The Dark Lord explained. "Like always, we'll start of the induction with a bit of a show from the inductee. Only, he's very lucky to have three choices for his victim as opposed to just the one. So Blaise, step forward and claim your victim."
Annika didn't look up as she heard footsteps approach. She saw the hem of Blaise's robes as he stopped in front of them. He was silent for a few moments and Annika knew he was size them up.
"Potter's best girls." he murmured. "This is going to be a tough decision. I've always wanted to get my hands on the mudblood and blood traitor. Then again, Potter's sister could be entertaining as well."
He walked back and forth a couple more times before Annika heard Ginny's cry of pain. Forgetting the rules, Annika's head shot up. Blaise had yanked Ginny up by the arm and pulled her close. He was nibbling on her ear as Ginny whimpered in disgust.
"No!" she yelled. "Take me! Use me!"
Blaise simply smirked at her. A few seconds later, she felt a sharp kick in her stomach and doubled over winded. She looked up to find Malfoy smirking at her.
"Keep your mouth shut, bitch." he sneered.
"I think I will use the blood traitor." Blaise stated with a smirk. Ginny whimpered.
"No!" Annika yelled. "Use me!"
Malfoy had grabbed the chain and yanked her into a standing position. He was no trying to drag her back into the circle. She noticed Fred doing the same thing to Hermione. Hermione was fighting him just as hard as Annika was fighting Malfoy. The men soon had them subdued.
"Don't worry. We'll have some fun later." Malfoy stated nibbling Annika's ear.
Annika cringed and looked back to Ginny, who was back on the floor sobbing. Then it began. The next half hour was full of Ginny's screams. The Death Eaters jeered and laughed as Blaise beat, raped, and cursed her. Hermione and Annika tried to fight of their masters to help her but they were just too strong.
When Blaise finally declared that he was finished, Ginny was a sobbing heap on the floor. Once Lucius had rerestrained Ginny and pulled her back into the circle, Voldemort marked Blaise. He talked for a little while after that but Annika wasn't listening. She kept trying to catch Ginny's eyes and make sure that she was okay.
When Voldemort finally dismissed the meeting, Annika prayed Malfoy would go to his father so she could get a better look at Ginny. Her prayers went unanswered because Malfoy was too eager for the earlier promised fun. When they reached his room, he threw her on the bed and ripped off her clothes. It was worse than the night before. Something Annika didn't think was possible. The pain was so intense that she passed out before he was even finished.
A/N: I'm not sure how this one turned out. I hope it was good. If not you have permission to lynch me. I'm not really sure where this is going. I chose to pick the story back up because I hate leaveing projects unfinished. Hopefully, this does turn out better than the way it's been going. Let me know what you think.
