"Well well, what do we have here?" Voldomort said, walking over to Draco and Reina, who had been knocked over and sprawled on the ground. He pointed his wand at the two. "We have a young woman, and…" He looked at Draco. "Ah, I see you were present with us after all." He looked angry, but Lucius looked even angrier. He stormed over and yanked Draco up by his wrist.
"What the hell are you doing?" He yelled in his face. He looked down at his body, "and where the hell are your clothes?" Draco didn't say anything. "You have humiliated me for the last time! Do you know what you just did? You betrayed us! You betrayed us, and I'm not going to save you again." He spat in Draco's face and threw him aside. Voldomort looked at Draco, then back down at Reina.
"Restrain him." He said to Bellatrix, who, with another wave of her wand, sent shackles towards Draco that fastened themselves around his wrists and neck. She pulled him over to her, separating Draco from his terrified lover.
"And you, my dear. Who might you be?" Voldomort said, forcing her to her feet with his wand. She looked him square in the eye, and even though her heart was thumping so hard she thought it would break her ribcage, she said right out loud,
"My name is Reina Sparrow, and I'm the one you have been searching for." The second she said that, death eaters surrounded her. Bellatrix's laugh could be heard over the crowd. Voldomort was ecstatic. One death eater who was missing teeth walked over to her and ran his fingers through her hair.
"I didn't expect you to be so pretty my sweet…" He got close and smelled her hair. "I can smell your fear…don't act brave." Another death eater walked up to her and stroked her arm.
"I'm sure we can make you cry…one way or another." He said, looking her up and down.
"Try me." She growled, through gritted teeth. She saw Draco squirming in his restraints out of the corner of her eye. Her heart ached for him. She knew he was in for torture. One last death eater shoved his way through the crowd to gawk at her, or so she thought. It was Lucius, still fuming from his confrontation with his son. He grabbed her by both arms and pulled her close to him, until their faces were almost touching.
"You thought you could hide forever Sparrow? You thought being my servant would protect you? I have no problem watching you die, watching the life leave your pretty little eyes. You have corrupted my son, who will now see the same fate as you, and the rest of those who are defiant to my lord." Reina glared at Lucius.
"I will never, step down. Not even to you. Not anymore." She spit in his face. Lucius gritted his teeth and back handed her across the face, knocking her to the ground. She moaned in pain as she hit the ground, hard. Her cheek was slashed open by Lucius's ring, and had blood seeping out of the cut. Voldomort stepped in.
"That will be enough for now." He said, waving his wand, causing the same chains to bind her as well. "Bellatrix, take them to the traitor holding area for now until I decide what to do with them. Lucius and Severus, we are going to storm the Castle. Tonight. All the others, follow us. Wormtail, you go with Bellatrix, and please, try to think of a strategy to get our little princess to shed her tears." And with that, everyone dispersed, Bellatrix and Wormtail, grabbing onto Reina and Draco, apparated out of the forbidden forest.
They wound up in a prison like place, cells lining the walls. Their chains echoed down the hall as the two death eaters dragged them along, looking for an empty cell. When they reached the end of the hall, Bellatrix waved her wand and opened the door, Roughly shoving Reina inside. The chains left her body, but the door slammed shut. On the other side of the hall, Wormtail had Draco pinned against the wall.
"You know what we do to traitors?" He growled in his face. Draco swallowed hard, bracing himself for torture. Bellatrix let out a giggle and walked over to Draco as well.
"Let's give him a taste of what we can really do!" She hit him with all the magical force she could muster. Draco flew across the hall with force enough to bend the bars on the cell behind him. Wormtail grabbed Draco by the pack of the neck and forced him to his feet; pounding his metal hand into his stomach as hard as he could. Draco groaned in pain, but wouldn't let it show on his face. He wouldn't give them that satisfaction. Bellatrix came back over and, using her wand, produced a whip. She began to whip him with all the strength she had, blood spraying from his back with every crack. His face was shoved into the bars of Reina's cell; she jumped up and ran to him, on the verge of crying.
"Reina…" He said with all his strength. "don't…cry…" Bellatrix stopped whipping Draco and turned to Wormtail.
"So this is what it takes." She smiled darkly, opening the cell once again. Wormtail shoved Draco into the cell harshly, Draco falling to the ground.
"It seems we will have a lot more fun with this than we thought." Wormtail snickered as the cell bars slammed shut. Both of them erupted in a fit of evil laughter before aparating, leaving the two alone in silence. Reina ran over to Draco, who was bleeding profusely out of his back and head.
"Oh Draco…I'm so sorry…" She whispered. "This is all my fault…" He slowly lifted a shaky finger and put it to her lips.
"Stop with that Reina. This is my fault. I shouldn't have brought you to the forest. I should have been smarter…I should have protected you." He said, his breath coming in shallow gasps. Reina put his head in her lap.
"I won't let you die Draco…" She whispered. "I promise. We will make it out of here." She leaned her head down so their foreheads were touching. He lifted his chin and touched his lips to hers.
"I love you Reina. I always have." He said into her mouth. "I can't make any promises; I am losing blood really fast. I am fighting, for you, and I will protect you as long as i…" His voice trailed off as his eyes rolled into the back of his head.
"Draco?" Reina yelled; shaking her limp lover lightly. When he didn't respond, she felt the feeling she hadn't felt since being a child. Tears were filling up her eyes. She laid him down on the ground and rolled him over, letting her tears pour into his deep wounds. The tears glowed as they entered his flesh, and burst through his skin with a brilliant light. Then she heard it; Draco inhale sharply. The wounds on his back had closed, he was going to live.
"Reina…" He whispered. "What if they were watching?"
"I don't care anymore. I love you Draco Malfoy, and I won't let you die."
