Chapter 3

::The Following Day::

They chose a perfect muggle town not far from Hogsmeade. It was a perfect spot to unleash their planned terror. It would certainly attract much attention to both the wizarding and the muggle world. They had to be sure that wherever He is, the news would get to his ears.

The polyjuice potion certainly came in handy. During the day when they paid the town a visit to plan their raid and escape route, they disguised themselves as a couple with a child looking for a new home. Fortunately, there is a house up for sale at the time when they arrived so their disguise plan was working perfectly. It was as if lady luck is shining bright for them.

Bella was lost in her own thoughts. Her eyes wandered furtively from one house to another. It was a wonderful time to start picking her victim. She had waited so long for the time when she could go back to the killings of undeserving lowlifes. They had been in hiding for too long. She was so excited she couldn't stop smiling. Rod took one look at her and he knew what was on her mind. He gave her a gently nudge. Smiling is normal but a person who smiles too much suggests something else. They want to be accepted as a normal family and not gain too much attention.

Her smile quickly disappeared as she turned to the landlord, Mr. James Warren. He started this town, owning all the homes build in it. He'll go first. Perfect…..pompous arrogant lowlife snob. Bella thought as she smiled again.

::The Following Night::

The moon was hiding behind the misty clouds, the usual sound of crickets could not be heard. It was as though the whole world had prepared itself for the terror that was about to unfold. Bella had started preparing herself for tonight's event earlier than the other two. She had taken time to make sure her robes are clean, her hair was done up nicely and her mask was all ready for her when the time comes. It was though she was preparing to go to a Masquerade party. She couldn't eat a bite, she was too nervous.

"Bella? You ready darling?" Rod's voice called out to her. He and Avery were all dressed up and ready, waiting for her.

"Coming Rod!" she replied. Nothing could spoil our plans tonight….I am a step closer to being reunited with Him…..it'll work for sure…..

She took one last look at herself in the mirror, smiled and apparated to the area outside the tent where a hectic looking Avery and a handsome-looking Rod was standing.

"Alright. Are we all ready?' Rod addressed the very small crowd. His question elicited a nod from them. 'Remember don't get too carried away. We're only a small group. Once the any witches or wizards arrive, we leave. Is that understood?' he was addressing particularly Bella now. 'Bella….do you understand?"

"Yes yes yes Rod! Get on with it!" Bella replied irritably.

"I'm serious Bella…there's only three of us left. We need all three of us to come back safe and sound. Do you understand?' Rod asked her again.

Bella only nodded this time. 'Alright. Wands out, masks on. God speed my fellow Death Eaters." With synchronized nods, they apparated.

Three dark shadows lurked the town. No one was spared, women, men and child were killed. Screams are heard everywhere. No one knew the purpose of this brutal slaughtering, no one even had the time to figure out. Everyone was busy saving their lives. People were running out of their houses which suddenly had caught fire. People followed the crowd as they ran away from 3 hooded figures who carried nothing but plain looking sticks, pointing it at something, muttering arcane incantations and suddenly horrible things came out of those sticks.

There were flashes of green light everywhere. It was as though nothing could stop them. They could appear and disappear from one place to another. They could not have been human. Everyone watched helpless as their homes turned to heaps of ashes and their loved ones died before them.

Suddenly another group appeared. They must be one of these dark cloaked figures since they too can appear out of thin air. But they're different. They do not wear masks and they are not attacking the villagers. Instead they're firing shots at the three intruders that had started this terrifying ordeal.

The battle was gaining ferocity. Neither side are backing down. The area began to feel intensely hot as the fire swallowed every house that lined the streets. One of the dark-hooded figures managed to overcome a member of the other side. Taking this opportunity, the figure turned, pointed the stick held in his hand to the sky yelling something like, "Mosmoder!" The figure than turned to his companions, grabbing them by their arms and disappeared into thin air. They obviously had not intended to leave without a mark.

The smoke in the sky with a skull and a snake that keeps slithering around it says it all.
