Author's Note: Hi guys. So, this is my final chapter. If you want an epilogue, message me and I will see if I can be bothered doing one. (It will most definitely be short, but I quite like the concept of this ending, because I'm evil and what not.) This is probably going to be my last fan fiction, as I want to focus on my novel which I kind of started back in August last year, where I got the idea of my character. I really do hope that you have enjoyed this crappy roller coaster of a fan fic. So this is goodbye, so make sure that you all stay safe. (This is sad and intimidating. But I am honestly so happy that I have finally finished this after a year of writing.)
And... Off we go!
- Queen
The 9th of July, 2015. ( Which is one day after Helena got the mark.)
"You know that she has to die, don't you, Helena?" Voldemort had asked her as they stood on the stairs, waiting to enter the cell to which Katie was confined in. Funnily enough, it was the same cell that Helena occupied all those months ago.
"Yes, my Lord. I'm a little sad about it - I admit it. After all, she used to be my friend. But if she's a traitor, then she must be killed."
"I know this means a great deal to you, Helena. You do not have to be the one to kill her if you do not wish so."
"If my Lord commands it, then I shall."
"You are doing a great service to me, Helena. This will not go unrewarded."
"My Lord is gracious, I wish to serve him. Reward, or no reward."
Voldemort smiled as she looked away, going through their plan over and over in her mind to please her Lord.

When Katie opened her eyes it was strange, because it was like she was still asleep. The darkness had not left from her dreamless sleep. How did she know that this was not a dream? How would she tell the difference between reality and fantasy?
She decided that she was not used to the darkness or to this uncanny chill that had recently infected her entire body. She had no idea how long she had been in this place, wherever it was, as there was no hints to suggest exactly what it was. In fact, her best guess was that she was in perhaps a cell, as she felt the confined space that she was in. And the fact that she had not seen anyone, but that might have been because she was unconscious. However, she had some strange feeling of who was keeping her here. But what was keeping him so long anyway? And what if was Helena here too, somewhere hiding within these walls, in her own cell exactly identical to this one? She shuddered to think how scared she was of the isolation and cramped space.
She had a million and one questions to ask, and none of the answers seemed to echo to her in the blank darkness that strongly resembled the pitch black nights she used to know.
As if it was on cue, the cell door opened ajar and she got up from her crouched position to greet her unexpected visitor. She soon regretted it as she realised that it was Lord Voldemort that had indeed entered her cell.
"Where the Hell am I?" she demanded immediately.
He forced the Imperious Curse on so that she knelt down in front of him - whist simultaneously gagging her with a non-verbal silencing charm to stop her from talking or making a noise.
"First of all, you petulant child, you should have to show me some respect whilst you are completely at my mercy. Second of all, you are only alive because I've commanded it so. But for obvious reasons, you will die. In fact, in about ten minutes you will be dead at my feet. This is because you have defied me so many times, even going to the extent of faking your own death and your own blood status. I ought to kill you right this second. However, perhaps it would be more prudent if this particular task is carried out by a more familiar face. Helena!" he called.
Helena promptly came through the cell door and saw her ex-girlfriend knelt in the submissive position. She did not show any emotion, nor did it run across her face, or have any immediate reaction at all. It was like she was staring straight through her like she was an invisible person.
"Yes, my Lord?" she answered.
Katie's eyes widened in a totally horrified expression. Her face went pale as she realised what she had done. Helena's eyes pierced through her so coldly that she froze and the look carried extreme distaste in what she saw, which finally made Katie realise that she was too far gone for her to save.
"Kill her for me, Helena. Show your committed devotion to serve your one and true Master," he muttered in her ear.
At those words, she withdrew her wand and pointed it at her old girlfriend and best friend.
"She has done so much to hurt you, Helena. She left you when you needed her most. I took you in, gave you new life whilst she neglected you severely."
He gave one last glance at Katie and smiled cunningly.
"And this is how the great duo ends. The story between you two is finished, and the sight is sweet. Our heroines both gone in their different ways - and completely broken."
He laughed at Katie, and turned to Helena.
"Oh and Helena, please lock up when you are done."
He exited the cell and Helena tightened her grip on her wand.
Katie closed her eyes ever so softly, patiently waiting for the inevitable to happen.
THE END
