Taken

He's the only one I can trust. The only one that understands me. Yet as I reach his door, I pause, my hand raised to knock. Before I can make a move, the door opens and there he is. I rush into his arms. He holds me for a moment, and then I am sent reeling back by his hand on my cheek. I can feel my tears flowing as I reach up to touch the tender skin he has just struck.

I open the door, expecting only to take a walk, and she practically leaps into my arms. "Stupid girl." I hiss as my hand connects with her pale cheek. She stands there so meekly, the innocence I once treasured in her long gone. I grab her arm roughly, smirking at her wince of pain, and pull her into the house, tossing her to the floor like so much unwanted filth.

I know he loves me. Even as he hurts me, I know he loves me. I use my hands to brace myself as I connect with the immaculate floor, thrown there. I know this game only to well. I curl up into a ball, knowing that's what he wants. He likes when I pretend I don't welcome him. He knows I need it...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I sneer as she lays on my floor, her long hair spilling over her. I was once so attracted to her. She put up a genuine fight. But then she broke. Like so many others, she broke and is now nothing to me. Nothing but a doll, a beautiful doll. I kick her with the tip of my boot and watch as she stands and silently moves towards the room. The only room no one is allowed to enter, upon my orders.

I stand back as he unlocks our door. I know what is waiting for me behind that door, and I welcome it with open arms. Once again, I feel my wrist imprisoned in a strong grip as I am pulled after him. He throws me down, and I hear the rip of my clothes as they are torn off. Once he had finished, he stood over me, looking so regal and beautiful.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I stare down at her. The child I had destroyed on my own lusts. Her eyes are so trusting, I almost feel sorry for her. I gently stroke her face and kiss her lips, biting down so hard I made her lip bruise, tasting the blood in my mouth. I pull back and stare down at her, reaching for my wand without her seeing.

"Goodbye, Virginia..." The suave voice of Lucius Malfoy echoed through the room. The petite redhead beneath him cried out for just a moment before her life was taken from her. Lucius stood and dressed, then sent her by port key to her bed in her room, smiling sardonically when he imagined the looks on the Weasley's face to find their only daughter dead...
