A/N: Please don't hurt me. I haven't updated in a really, really, really, really takes a breath really, really LONG TIME! Please forgive me! Anyway…on with the story…

Krissie was scared. No, scared was an understatement. She suddenly feared for her life in the back of that car.

How did they get in? How could they get past the spells? No one was more powerful than her father…he'd told her himself.

They're very bad people. Daddy will kill them when he finds out. When he discovers what's going on. He's going to use the killing curse on them. And then right before they die, they'll regret this She thought, anger was slowly rising inside her.

"Who are you!" she demanded. There was tinted glass between the front and back seat. So she couldn't see them. Could they hear her? She could hear some of their conversation, so she figured they must be able to hear her screaming at them.

"Answer me!" she yelled at them, "I'm Kristen May Riddle and I demand that you respect me!"

Okay, so she was a bit spoiled and had a major ego. But what else can you expect from the daughter of Tom Riddle?

"Tell me NOW!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. She was already going red in the face, "If you don't answer me now I'll…I'll…hold my breath until my face turns blue!"

She took a deep breath and held it. She soon realized this had no effect on her kidnappers, so she gave up.

About two hours later, the car came to a stop. She could faintly see two people get out. One of them left. The other moved towards the door. She was prepared to kick, scream and cry until she got her way. She would threaten them, somehow.

The door opened and she saw…Malfoy.

"Lucius Malfoy!" she spat, "So it's you? YOU did this? When my father finds out-"

"Shut up! You stupid little brat!" He commanded. Krissie did not like being spoken to in this way.

"I won't stand for this! I'll tell my father and he'll make sure you get what you deserve!"

"You won't get the chance."

Krissie contemplated what this meant…then she understood.

"What exactly would a stupid git like you accomplish from killing the daughter of your ruler?"

"A lot more than you'd think. You see, Kristen, my dear grandson just turned seven today. And, well, I'd much rather see him take over the throne than you or one of your spoiled siblings."

Well, she knew that Lucius never particularly liked her, but she never thought he'd be dumb enough to try to kill her.

"Do you plan to kill my brother and sister too?"

"Eventually, yes. It's you I'm concerned about right now, though. According to your father, you possess great power."

"Well, he's lying. Just to throw you off."

"It doesn't matter. With you and your siblings dead, there's no competition for the throne."

Kristen kicked him in his knee.

"Ouch! Dammit!"

Then she took off running in the other direction. She heard him shout "Crucio!" from behind. She waited for the pain to hit, but it didn't. She looked back.

Lucius Malfoy was writhing on the ground in pain. When it subsided, he got up again.

"Petrificus Totaulus!" He shouted.

Suddenly he went rigid, and fell to the ground. He didn't move any more.

"How did that happen?" she wondered out loud. She didn't go near him though.

Instead, she turned and ran as fast as she could. She didn't know where she was going. She just had to get away from here. How would she get back home? Would anyone even bother to help her? Surely if she told them who she was, they would help her out. But not all people liked her father. She knew that. Her mother had told her that it was dangerous for her to tell who she was. Because some people hated her father, and would do anything for revenge.

"Revenge for what?" Krissie had asked her mother.

"Oh, just different things. Nothing important. You shouldn't worry about it."

"They wouldn't hurt me would they?"

"Many people wouldn't. Those that I know would never hurt anyone, except maybe your father. But there are a few that would."

"Who?"

"I don't know. People in general can be a bit crazy sometimes."

Kristen remembered this conversation. After it, her mother had told her stories of her childhood. Kristen loved it. Her mum had come from a big family. She'd had several brothers. Two had been twins, and her mum said they were hilarious, though annoying at times. Kristen would've loved to meet her mum's family. But her dad didn't like them, and they didn't like him either. That's what her mum had said. She hadn't gone into detail about it.

Kristen was no longer running after a while. She collapsed on a bench outside a clothing store. She began to cry, as well. She was far from home, in fact she had no clue which way home was, she was hungry, and tired, and miserable.

She got up and decided that she'd better keep walking. She didn't want Malfoy to catch her again

Meanwhile, her family was frantic.

"Where could she have possibly gone?" Ginny asked Tom as she sat down.

"I don't know."

"Couldn't you use legilemency to find her? Couldn't you do something?"

"Maybe."

"Maybe she's run away." Andria supplied. Her brother looked at her.

"Why would she run away?" he asked.

"Cuz….she's crazy."

"Thomas! Andria! Your sister is not crazy."

"Are you sure?" Tommy asked.

"Yes." Ginny said, then she turned back to her husband, "Do you think she's been kidnapped?"

"Nonsense. Only a select few people are allowed past the charms I've set up. Our family, of course, and the Zabinis, the Notts, the Malfoys, and a couple others."

"I don't trust the Malfoys at all."

"Well, they wouldn't dare turn on me. You have nothing to worry about, dear. I'm sure that Kristen has simply wandered off. I'll alert some people to keep an eye out for her."

Kristen was unaware that she was moving further and further from home. She just had to keep walking though. She couldn't let Malfoy catch her.

Don't cry, don't cry she told herself, be strong.

But she couldn't be strong. Her eyes began to water and tears fell down her cheeks. She feared she'd never see her family again.
