I stared at the man who called me daughter. In a matter of fifteen minutes, he told me about Harry Potter, the boy who wouldn't die, and how he had to remake his body. He was once Tom Marvolo Riddle. Now he was Lord Voldemort.
I stared at him as I stood silent.
"Do you believe me, daughter?"
I nodded. I could not trust my voice right now. I looked at my team. They stared at me disbelievingly. I walked their way, but before I said anything to them, I looked at my father.
"May we leave? I will return tomorrow. My team will remain inside the city and will not venture here unless I tell them otherwise."
Before my father could answer, Jessi said my name.
"Victoria, she's calling." He then handed me a flashing object.
"Shit." I turned to my father and his followers. "I need you all to say quiet until this is over, and clear out from the middle."
"Victoria," Scar said. "You can't hide this from her.j"
"Yes I can. Somehow at least."
I placed the disk in the middle of the room and tapped it. Jessi, Scar, Blaze, and I then knelt down in front of it. A hologram then flashed on, showing our master, and my mother.
"Report," she said.
"The Manor mission has been completed," I answered.
"Casualties?"
"None."
"Wounded?"
"None."
"Killed?" She was talking about people we were supposed to kill.
"None. No one was at the residence."
"Your mission was successful then?"
I didn't hesitate. "Yes, master."
"Good. Farewell then."
The disk cut off. Jessi was the first to stand.
"This isn't good," he said.
Now I stood. "I know."
Now Scar. "What do you plan to tell her?"
Now Blaze. "How about the truth?"
I shook my head. "Let me make sure I'm hearing this right? You want me to tell her that we got caught by a group of Dark Wizards, and that their leader is my father? First off we would be punished, and we all know what that entails. Second off, she would make me choose between the Tri-Arcs and him. Or she would order me to kill him first chance."
Once again a high pitched laugh rang through the air of the room. "You? Kill the Dark Lord?"
"Bellatrix." my father said.
I turned toward her. She was a pale women with crazy curly hair. "Yes, me. Because she would suspect that I would be the one closest to him since I'm his daughter." I turned to my team. "Do I still report that or do you think that we can keep this under the radar until we figure something out?"
"Fine. We'll stay quiet, but in the end it's all on you, Victoria." Jessi said.
I nodded. "I wouldn't have it any other way." I turned to Voldemort. "May we leave?" I asked him again.
He nodded. "Severus, escort them out."
I looked at the person who approached me and my team. I realized it was the dude who captured me.
"After you," he said.
We walked along the dark hallways once again. I couldn't help the feeling I got when surrounded by these walls. As we walked ahead of Severus, I could feel his eyes watching my every move.
(Severus POV)
Once the Dark Lord told me to escort his long-lost daughter, I took the chance to survey Victoria. She was a couple of inches shorter than me and had brown hair that was currently in a bun. She wore a black coat and boots but that was all I could see from the back.
I escorted them all the way outside, but when I turn around to close the door behind me only Victoria was there, I looked around.
"Where are your friends?" I asked her.
"The rooftops." she answered.
"How?"
She looked at me. "We've been trained to hide ourselves in the depths of darkness, and how to keep ourselves hidden in the need of travel. But enough with the small talk. Why were you watching me?"
I contemplated on how to answer her question. "I find you interesting. It's not everyday four teenagers break into the Malfoy Manor."
She chuckled. "Guess not." She sighed. "Good night, Severus." With that, she, too, disappeared into the night before I could answer her.
"Good night, Victoria." And I walked back inside to consult the Dark Lord.
