Before we continue: In all fairness I did give plenty of warning that parts of the story would be dark and unpleasant, did I not? If my memory serves me right I also put the warning in bold so you would get the point.

-Chapter 16-

Ginny woke up to the sound of knocking on the door of the small room. She rolled out of the bed and called for whoever it was to come in. When the door opened Narcissa stepped in and Ginny caught a glimpse of the hallway. It was light but she couldn't tell if it was because of lanterns or sunshine.

"What time is it?" Ginny asked when Narcissa closed the door.

"It's 8:30 in the morning. Did you sleep well?"

"Not really, no."

"I'm going out for a while. For some reason the Ministry believes I've kidnapped you," Narcissa smirked, "and they've demanded that I come in for an inquiry. No doubt your brother, Ron, and your friend Mr. Potter will be there. Shall I send them a message?"

"Yeah, tell them where I am."

"Of course."

Narcissa turned and left the room. Ginny waited until she was sure Narcissa was gone. She went to her bed and took off one of the sheets. She tore it into long strips and hid them under the duvet. Ginny paced the floor a little bit. She knew she was risking death doing what she was about to do but she would rather die trying than do whatever Narcissa had in store for her.

Every time Ginny turned on the shower tap it was almost a guarantee that Rabastan would burst in the bedroom with a tray of food, more oil for the lamp or some other excuse. Ginny counted on the pervert to come running up the stairs. She took the lamp to the bathroom and set it down on the toilet lid. She left the door open then turned the tap on full blast. She waited against the wall next to the bedroom door. Sure enough the familiar sounding footsteps appeared outside and the door swung open.

Ginny leapt out from behind the door. Rabastan whirled around and Ginny promptly kneed him in the groin. The clamor of the tray with dishes echoed throughout the room when Rabastan fell to his knees. As Rabastan tried to recover, Ginny picked up the tray and swung it at his head. There was a distinct "thunk" as the metal connected with his skull. Ginny ran to her bed and pulled out the strips of torn fabric. She tied together the unconscious man's hands and legs then gagged him. She searched his pockets but found no wand. A flaw in the plan.

"Rabastan!" Ginny heard a deep voice call from the hallway. "Narcissa told you to leave the girl alone! And would you stop leaving your bloody wand…" the voice stopped and tall muscular figure appeared in the doorway. "Dammit, blood-traitor! Where the hell are you?" The figure stepped over Rabastan's body. Ginny jumped up and wrapped her arms around the man's neck. He pulled his wand out of his pocket and aimed it behind him. A stunner hit the wall and the room shook a little. Ginny tightened her grip on the man's neck. His movements slowed a little and he dropped his wand, he tried to pry Ginny's arms away from his neck but her grip was too strong. In that moment she was glad she lifted weights as often as she did. Ginny's feet hit the floor as the man dropped to his knees. He passed out on the floor and Ginny grabbed his wand.

"Petrificus totalus!" she said, aiming the wand at the man she had just strangled. His body seized up. Ginny quietly left the small room and went into the hallway. Light flooded in from the windows, Ginny's head hurt as her eyes adjusted. She navigated through a maze of hallways until she found a staircase, she went down the steps, looking around her at every stair. She heard voices, one female and one male.

"She'll be of plenty use, Alecto!" the male voice spoke, "the girl is healthy and if she has a good Imperius on her then she'll work just fine. Most importantly she's a pure-blood."

"Carrow…" Ginny muttered.

"Amycus, they won't stop looking for her. The Ministry will go full force with this. Draco's trial isn't for a while yet. I doubt she'll even be here for that long. If they don't find her by then they certainly will before a Malfoy heir is conceived."

Ginny had to hold her hand over her mouth to keep from vomiting. She listened as the voices trailed off. She continued down the stairs trying to push the image of what Alecto had just said out of her mind. She reached the bottom of the stairwell and looked around the foyer. She looked towards the grand front doors and started heading towards them. She reached for the elaborate handle.

"Crucio!" a voice yelled from behind her. Ginny felt a sharp pain go through her body and she fell to the floor. She turned her head and saw Alecto Carrow standing behind her. "Brave, very brave," Alecto said with a cackle.

"Fuck…you…" Ginny gasped. The pain went surging through her body again and she tried not to scream but it was no use. The pain was too great. She heard her own screams come back to her as they echoed throughout the giant foyer. The pain stopped and Ginny panted.

"Did you really you could get out, Weasley girl?"

"I counted on it." Ginny gripped the wand behind her back.

"Get up, girl. Back up to your room."

Ginny stood. With one quick move she shot a Stunning Spell at Alecto who blocked it. Ginny ducked the spell that came after her and shot back with a powerful Reductor Curse which was again blocked. Ginny blocked a stunner, then finally caught Alecto off guard with Levicorpus. The older witch flew up in the air and hung by her ankles. Ginny ran for the door again and this time got it open. She ran through the courtyard towards the gate. She almost reached it before she felt a Stunning Spell hit her back and she hit the ground.

Ginny knew the spell must have hit her from a distance, she was still partially conscious. She couldn't move, her vision was blurry and it sounded like water was rushing through her ears. She felt herself being lifted and she watched the ground as she floated back to the house. She tried her best to make some kind of noise, anything to let them know she despised the lot of them. All she could do was groan.

"Stupid girl," she heard Amycus say as she passed through the front door. "Not that we didn't know that already. Chamber of Secrets ring a bell?"

Ginny closed her eyes and groaned again. She hated being reminded of her first year at Hogwarts. She still didn't understand how she could've been so stupid and vulnerable. She felt herself being tossed onto the bed in the familiar, small room. As she expected they would be, her hands were bound and tied to the headboard.

"You nasty little bitch!" she heard Rabastan yell. She heard him moved towards the bed.

"No, Rabastan," the voice of the male Ginny had petrified said, "you know what Narcissa said. The girl is not to be harmed unless it is necessary."

"Nothing I want to do to her has anything to do with magic, Rodolphus. The little whore has been teasing me since the second she got here and after what she did she deserves to pay!"

"No!" Rodolphus growled. "She is not yours to touch and you know it. Narcissa would have you hanging in the dungeon by your dick if she found out!"

Ginny could feel the eyes of the disgusting man looking over her.

"I'm willing to risk that."

"Look, we'll get you some Muggle girl like we used to. We can't risk any…lingering consequences with this one."

"Get out of this room, Rodolphus. If there is any consequence then I will take the blame for it. I don't want some Muggle girl, I want this one."

There was a pause. Ginny hoped with every bit of strength she had that Rodolphus would drag his brother away. Her heart was racing and she could feel a bead of sweat fall down her forehead.

"If Narcissa finds out you had better tell her that I dragged you away but you snuck back up here, do you hear me?"

Ginny's heart stopped. Her mind started racing. How could she get out of this? Was there any bargain, anything at all she could use?

"I promise, Dolph."

"Be careful, she'll put up a fight."

"Good. You know I like that."

Ginny heard the door shut and footsteps come towards her. Her mind was still racing.

"He wants me to put up a fight. I won't. If that's what will make him want me then I just won't fight it…but that would make me a coward. I'm no bloody coward. I'm a Gryffindor, I don't simply give up. Hermione…oh gods Hermione…what the hell will Hermione do when she finds out? Would she want me to fight? At least it's me…at least it's me and not her."

Ginny felt a pair of hands on her waist. She clenched her jaw and closed her eyes.

"I won't fight it…I'll do nothing. I won't cry, I won't scream. Just…nothing…"

A sinister laugh filled the room.

"You're mine, Weasley girl."

So when I read the comments from the last few chapters and was told "just don't go there" it made me sweat a bit because well...as you can plainly read, I went there just a little bit. This story was all finished before I started publishing though so I didn't intentionally think "Okay, this is exactly what they don't want so I'll go ahead and write it!" and I'm not going to go through and re-write the whole rest of the story because there are still like twenty chapters after this one.

You may now commence with telling me how much you dislike me and all of that.
