Tortured

CHAPTER 2

********

Sarah.

"Wake up."

Oh please goddess not again. I don't know if I can bear to suffer that pain once more.

"Wake up girl."

"I'm awake."

"Shhhh, talk quietly."

I raised my head off the ground to see who was talking. It wasn't the man whose voice I'd awoken to before. This voice was commanding, but not as evil as his had been. I looked up, and looked into those eyes that had startled me before. I struggled to my feet but dizziness over took me and I fell backwards into the wall. The boy, Draco I think he was called, made a move as if to help me but thought better of it and pulled back his arm. "What do you want with me?" I asked. He didn't say anything, he just smirked at me, the same way the boys at school do when they want...something. "Why am I here?" He didn't answer. He just looked me straight in the eye. I took a slight step towards him. "I'm not scared of you, you know," I said defiantly. This time I managed to keep the tremor from my voice. He moved closer, so close that I could feel his warm breath on my face.

"Maybe you should be," he whispered. I held my breath, unnerved a little by him being so close. But he didn't say anything else, he just continued to study my face.

Draco.

It wasn't just her eyes that looked like mine, it was everything about her. Her pale face, and her small features. Even her attitude was similar. She must have been terrified, yet she hid it well. There was only one thing that was strikingly different about her. Her hair was a deep copper brown, not a red as the Weasel's but definitely not the trademark blonde hair of the Malfoy's.

"What are you staring..."

"What's your name?" I asked quietly.

"Pardon?"

"Your name."

"Why do you want to know?"

I glared at her.

"It's Sarah, ok?"

I gave a frustrated sigh. "Sarah what?"

"Malfoy, alright? What the hell does it matter to you anyway?"

Malfoy? I took a step away from her. She was a Malfoy? But how could that be possible. Father had used witches for me to practice on before, but to bring me a member of my own family to practice on, why? Guess it explained her good looks though.

"Who are your parents?"

"What is this, 20 questions? Answer some of my questions and I'll answer yours."

I nearly laughed. Her arrogance and lack of fear reminded me of myself. But I put on an evil glare and she backed down a little. I pulled out my wand. She backed right into the wall. Her terror was showing through now. I pointed my wand to her throat, like a sword.

"Who. Are. Your. Parents?" I growled, sounding out every word slowly. She didn't speak, she just looked at my wand. I grabbed her chin with my other hand and roughly lifted it so she was looking me in the eye. I could feel her trembling and could see her eyes trying to avoid my own. Now she was scared. Good.

"Dierna," she whispered.

"What about your Father's name?" She looked away from me.

"My Father's dead. His name was Lucus."

Lucus and Dierna? I had never heard of these people before. But yet, they held the Malfoy surname. I saw a tear run down the girl, Sarah's, face. She made a kind of whimpering sound. I roughly jerked my hand away and she fell back against the wall.

"What do you want from me?" Sarah asked again.

"Want from you?"

"Why am I here?" She said. "And why...no, who are you?"

"Who am I?"

"Yes, that's what I said isn't it. What are you, stupid or something."

******

Sarah.

I barely saw it coming. I hardly saw him raise his hand, but I felt it connect with my face. Its force stung and brought tears to my eyes, but I stood steady. I gritted my teeth and felt anger overtake my fear. "Don't you dare touch me again," I growled.

"Ha. Like you could stop me." He hit me again, softer this time, but still hard enough to turn my head. I was disgusted by his arrogance so I pushed him away.

"Get away from me." Draco looked momentarily stunned, then pulled out his wand again. I sure as hell wasn't going to let him use it again. I made a grab for it and tried to wrestle it off him, but he was stronger than me and sent me sprawling to the ground again.

"Crucio"

The pain ripped briefly through my body, and knocked the breath out of me.

"Now, be a good girl, and I won't have to do that again." I didn't move. I wasn't sure if I could. He rolled me onto my back with his foot and glared down at me. I rubbed away the tears that were beginning to form in the corners of my eyes.

"Please don't hurt me."

Draco smirked, "But that would ruin all my fun."
