Out of the Darkness into the light

While I was asleep I dreamt, of what it was like back at home. Of my friends and I having fun and laughing. Then the dream turned dark as we were surrounded by hooded figures, My friend Louise was the first to notice them. She stopped and stared in horror as they held long wooden sticks at us muttering words as one by one we all fell. The spell had not worked on me as three of the people launched themselves at me; I fought screaming and cursing.

A few well placed hits knocked them back as I took off at a fast run. Suddenly one was in front of me; he had no mask so I would never forget those red slanted eyes looking into mine, as if seeing deep into my soul. “Not ssso fasst,” I swore he hissed as his and waved and my body could not move. I screamed at him till my voice could not make anymore noise. They took us that day, away from the sunlight and into the dark of my cell.

I awoke to see a pair of cold blue eyes watching me; confused I sat up staring at my new captor. “Nice to see you awake, you were dreaming.” I nodded at his closed statement. “Were you remembering what happened?” Nodding again I tried to stand, realising that he had laid me onto a bed. “What are you going to do with me?” His eyes softened slightly as they met mine. “I honestly have no idea, I never wanted a muggle slave like the rest, yet for some unknown reason I could not leave you there in that cell.”

I thought for a split second that he would let me go the man must have been able to read my mind as he laughed. “No my little kitten I will not let you go, there are a lot worse things out there then me, no I will figure out what to do with you sooner or later.” The door opening interrupted us and a man who looked remarkably like the man walked in stopping and staring in shock at me. “Ah Draco let me introduce the latest to our house hold, Elizabeth this is Draco my son and Heir.” I nodded politely at the man, who continued to stare in shock at his father and I.

“But father I thought you were not going to take one of them in, you were that much against me taking in my Paramour.” The man laughed at his son, “Yes I was against it, yet I find that your little lady has become a blessing for this household, you have trained her well. No Elizabeth was the last one left, I believe they forgot about her so I decided to bring her home.” I was wondering which girl Draco had and if I would be lucky enough to see if she was one of mine. “The reason I came father is dinner has been served and we await you.”

The he was gone; Lucius now looked at me with a new twinkle in his eyes. “We must go join them then, here are some clothes for you to wear,” He held out a black gown for me, I stared at him for about a minute before realising he was waiting for me to get changed. I was normally shy in front of males but for some reason I easily undressed and dressed in front of this stranger. When I was finished I turned around, happy at the look in his eyes; he was pleased with how I looked. Holding his arm out Lucius indicated for me to follow him out of the room to the dining hall.

Walking into the dining room I could not at first see who the other girl was until Lucius sat me down, then my eyes met with the amber ones of a one Miss Hermione Granger. “Hermione!” She looked at me in shock; both of us had thought the other dead. “Elizabeth, it is good to see you,” I could tell she wished to talk yet one look at the Malfoy men and we knew that it would have to wait. Dinner was a quiet affair as they both discussed the war and how they had caught Harry who was to be executed in front of the wizarding people in a week. I could see Hermione’s eyes sparkle with unshed tears at the fate of her friend.

I couldn’t fight the feeling that in a way we both felt the same, as if we were traitors to all by coming here with these two men who were obviously on the evil side of the war. Once dinner was over Lucius and I once again retired to his study where he let me grasp a book and sit and read. I sat at his feet my head against his legs. I do not know why he did it but as we read his hand softly ran through my hair relaxing me until I had somehow fallen asleep on his knee. I never felt him lift me; I only awoke once as he laid me in the bed then crawled in next to me.

Somehow through the night I sought out the warmth of his body, wrapping myself around him, he rolled over draping a possessive arm around me. I felt safe and as he stroked my hair, I smiled as once again sleep over took me.


A/N I know Lucius seems a little to nice but he is just getting to know his new girl, and having Hermione in the house just might help Elizabeth figure out just how to get away
