     "What is it that you want of me?  If it isn't important then I think you should leave."  I said as I disposed of the body lying in my room.
"I think I'll stay for a bit, I had hoped we could actually talk."  Draco replied in a rather calm tone.  He didn't seem to be letting on, the feelings I was getting from him, instead, he acted quite the opposite.  He stood there all puffed up as if he were a king or something.  Little did he know that I knew his real feelings and I intended on playing on his frightened state.

    "Ok Draco, then if you insist, why not take a seat."  I motioned to a chair in the corner for him to sit upon.  I sat back at my vanity and watched as he seated himself across form me.  My gaze was lees than friendly, quite the opposite, actually.  I could tell that my gaze alone sent chills down his spine.

    "What was it you wanted to discuss, I don't have all day to wait around for you to speak, please do hurry."  I said to him in a deathly calm tone, I am sure my eyes flashed at the end of my words, I saw them in the mirror.

    "Well, I – that is – Oh, never mind."  He stood and began walking out of my room.
I began to laugh, and followed him with my eyes as he walked slowly towards the door.  I got up and began to walk rather closely behind him.  He mistakenly stopped, falling into my trap a little too easily.  He was sometimes not the sharpest crayon in the box.

    Draco turned around to face me, his expression a bit apprehensive.  I simply stepped in closer and, taking his head in my hand, delivered a kiss that I am sure he remembered until the end of his days.

    At first, he was taken by surprise, and I knew he liked this however, soon it became apparent to him that I intended him harm.  A flash of light engulfed us both and within a few minuets, Draco fell to the floor, unconscious.  I stepped back and looked upon my work, a smile creeping across my face as I remembered what he had done to Max.
   
    "Consider yourself lucky I left you alive, Draco Malfoy."  I said out loud, and then I turned and stepped in to the bathroom and drew the water and eventually, stepped in side for a relaxing bath to whisk away the stress of the day.  I left Draco lying on my floor out by the entrance.  I would wake him up and send him on his way after I had finished.

    Several days later after getting a lecture on how I should treat Draco, I was once again in the bath, soaking away the day's strains, not to mention the blood from the poor victims selected by my father.  Draco came in the baths.  I looked up and glared at him.
"Get out.  Now --   " I hissed.

    Draco only sneered.  "No, Kiara I think not.  I've got a present for you and I intend to give it to you now."  He said with a sinister look upon his face.

    "Very well, what is it?"  I inquired, sitting under the foam bubbles as carefully as I could so as not to let him have a peek at anything.
"Oh no, you have to close your eyes and hold out your hand."  He replied, not moving from his current position.
"Oh very well, get on with it then."  I held out my right hand for him and closed my eyes.
"I meant both your hands, it's rather large."  He replied.  I did as he asked, anything to get him the hell out of the bathroom so I could relax.

    Draco grabbed my left hand and slipped something on to my ring finger.  I opened my eyes and jerked my hand away.
"Oh real cute Draco, no thanks, you can have it back."  I replied, then, I tried to take the ring off, only it wouldn't budge.  
"This isn't funny, take it off, now!"  I growled at him, he didn't move, instead, he sat on the chair next to the tub and smiled down at me.
"Very well, have it your way then."  I replied as I started to bring my will to bear down on him, but it wouldn't work, each time I thought about hurting him, my powers failed me.  I must have looked horror struck because he started to laugh.
"What did you do."  I stated more than asked, knowing full well he'd tell me now that he knew I couldn't harm him.
"I put your engagement ring on your finger Kiara, nothing more, nothing less.  Oh, your father has cursed it so that you can't harm a hair on my head, dearest."  He said with his usual smirk.
"I may not be able to use my powers on you but just wait until I get my hands on you Draco."  I glared at him.  This only made him laugh even more.
"What?"  I snapped.
"Oh, it's just that no, you can't hurt me that way either, I'm afraid your going to have to be a good little fiancé, Kiara.  None of this threatening and such for, you may not be able to touch me but I certainly can harm you, if you make me do so."  He said, leaning back in the chair and acquiring that same, snide expression I hated so much.
   
    I was at a loss here now.  Once again, Draco had gotten the best of me, although, it wasn't by himself, he had the help of my father and his.  I slid down deeper under the water and turned away from him, no longer wanting to talk.  Draco finally got up and left the room so that I could get out of the tub.  At least he wasn't that much of an ass that he stayed in there with me or anything.  I was a bit relieved of that fact.

great story!

keep.................................................going! ;D :D :)

[Kiara Johnson]

     That night, I went down to dinner and noticed, once again, Narsissa wasn't around.  As I sat, I also noted the less than friendly attitude on the face of my supposed, future father in law.  It was usually snide; much like Draco's but never this angry looking.  I decided to observe the two of them for a bit.  After I noticed that Lucius wasn't angry with Draco, I decided to make this dinner a bit more interesting.

    "I notice Narsissa isn't dining with us this evening, Lucius, has something gone wrong?"  I asked with a bit of sarcasm in my otherwise calm and lemon-sweet tone.

    This got the reaction I was looking for, I may not have been able to take my anger out on Draco but as far as I was concerned, Lucius was free game.  He snapped his head towards me and gave me a most evil glare.
"That is none of your concern, don't ask about it again."  He said between clenched teeth.

    I let a grin slide across my face, showing him that I did not, intend on letting the subject drop.  He gave me a sideways glance and a sort of warning look but I didn't care, I wanted a fight, and if it couldn't come from Draco then, it would just have to be him.

"Oh, I thought we were all family here, I think I have every right to ask about my future mother-in-law.  Now, what ever is wrong?"  I persisted, still wearing that snide smirk that I got so often from Draco.

That's when Lucius almost made his mistake; oh how I wished he'd finished pulling that wand out.  Alas, he was a bit too wise to complete his motion.  So, I had to do with a battle of words instead.

    "I'd keep my nosy little trap shut If I were you, Kiara, you have to sleep sometime, you know."  Draco hissed at me.  I laughed.
"Oh, I am ever so sorry Draco dear.  Have I hit a soar spot, has mummy gone off and left the two little boys all alone?"  I paused as I felt the tension rise, enjoying every bit of it.  "Of course, I don't blame her if she did, living with the likes of you, Lucius, must have finally gotten to her.  What with the way you think yourself higher than the rest of the world and all."  I finished with a look of poison directed towards Lucius.  

That earned me a slap across the face from Draco.  I of course, retaliated the only way I could by flipping the table over and then smashing it against the wall.  We all watched as it splintered into a thousand or more tiny pieces.

Lucius was standing and he had drawn his wand at this pint.  I smiled further.
"Oh, and Draco dear, no, I don't have to sleep.  I am not a lowly witch or wizard, such as you, I do not require as much rest.  And Lucius, if you know what's good for you, you'd put that thing away before it lands you in a world of discomfort.  I may not be able to harm Draco but you, now your another case all together."  I turned my now, red eyes on him and he backed down, turning to Draco.
"Take her to her room Draco, now."  Lucius growled.

Draco grabbed me rather roughly about the arm and drug me off, I was laughing the whole time.  That is, until we arrive to my room.  It would seem, I had made Draco even angrier than I had hoped.  He was absolutely fuming.  I think much angrier and he would have been foaming at the mouth.

    Kiara looked around the garden and feeling satisfied that they still had plenty of daylight left, she continued.

    Draco pushed me into the room and slammed the door behind us.  I stumbled forward then regain my balance and turned around to face him.  I had never before seen him this angry.  I backed away a few steps.
    "You have no idea what it is that you have dug up, Kiara.  You should have shut your mouth when I told you to."  He said in the same, unnervingly calm voice I often used, still do, when I am about to hurt someone, really bad.

    I stepped a few more paces away from him.  However, this was no good for he took a few paces forward.  I was actually scared of him for the first time in my life.  I had succeeded in doing the one thing I should have never done, being in my position.  Stupid of me, yes, however, like I have said, over and over again, I had no control over myself at that time so I really can't blame myself for what happened.  

         Suddenly he lunged forward, pushing me back into he wall, slamming my head, hard into the stone.  I winced and felt the blood from where I hit, beginning to run down my scalp.  He had his hand around my throat and his other, was holding his wand.  All this happens in one move.  I had no idea, he could be so quick.  He always seemed to me to be sort of a pretty-boy with no real talent, I found out differently.

    "My mother is dead, Kiara, Lucius killed her, just like I said he would."  He growled at me, now slamming my head back again.  My vision was blurred now and my head pounding, I could feel the blood flow quicker.  He then stepped back away from me, a look of total hatred in his eyes, be it for me or his father, most likely his father, it didn't matter.  I was the target for his pain, no one else.
"Crucio!"  He yelled.

    I wouldn't have thought it possible for him to pull a curse like this off but I'd say he did a good job.  It hit me with a force equal to that of the last one my father hit me with.  Every second, it grew stronger, I couldn't even scream out.  He was putting all his pain and anger he had been holding up, into it.  Soon, if he hadn't of stopped, there would have been nothing left of me.  However, he did stop and I fell into thankful darkness.

    I woke up much later, I was on my bed, that I knew, my eyes still wouldn't focus and at first, I thought that Draco was sitting at the edge of my bed, I was wrong.  I couldn't have been more wrong in fact.

[Evil_To_The_Max]

keep....going

[Kiara Johnson]

     I could barely make out his words; I only caught parts here and there before blacking out.  I woke up again, I think, several hours later and this time, I could see more clearly, although my head was pounding harder than ever.  I looked to the side of my bed and saw Max, sitting there; he was holding a towel to my forehead.  I tried to sit up but Max put his hand on my chest and forced me to lay still.
"You shouldn't be here."  I told him weakly.
"Where do you think you are Kiara?"  He asked me.
"Where am I?"  I asked then, realizing for the first time, I wasn't in my room at the Malfoy Manor.
"Your at my house, I collected you as soon as I could.  What happened to you?"

    I closed my eyes and shudder, remembering what happened.  I didn't answer him for a long time.  Not until he brushed my cheek with his hand and spoke too me.  I was afraid to talk, the thought of what had happened and the thought of what could happen if I told, they were all too horrifying to me at that point.

    "It's ok Kiara, you don't have to go back, and you're with me, your safe now.  You can be assured, I will let nothing happen to you."  Max said in an almost angry tone, although it was also quite reassuring.
"Draco happened to me."  I replied then.
"Oh, and just what did that little ferret do to you?"  He asked, his anger showing more now.

    I related the story, everything, starting from the whole ring incident to the end.  By the time I had finished, I was crying and Max, although he looked like he wanted to go off and kill Draco, was holding me to him, very tightly.

    Once again, Kiara stopped, looked about the garden, and then, noticing the dark shadows, creeping across the garden, stood up and bade the others to follow her into the house.

    As they walked, Belgarion watched, much as Celeste had many times, the way Kiara avoided all the darkest shadows, only allowing the simple shade of a tree to touch her.  He raised a questioning brow at his student.  Celeste gave him a look that told him she wasn't sure.  They continued to the house.

    Kiara, Belgarion and Celeste were then joined by Kami, and they all went to the drawing room and sat down to some tea, which Kami had prepared, knowing that the three would be in soon.

    "So, where are we at now, mother?"  Kami asked, as she sipped her tea from a small, china cup.

         Kiara smiled, just finishing with the last few weeks of my first summer break from Hoggwarts."  Kiara replied with a somewhat darkened look about her.
"Oh, ok then, are you going to continue, or are we waiting for father to join us?"  Kami asked, knowing too well that this was a part in her mother's life that often set Moloch off into a horrible mood for at least ten or more days.
   
    "I think that we can continue with out him, for now, he's running a bit late this evening anyway."  Kiara replied, knowing too, how Moloch could be.

    "Well, " Kiara started, "It would seem that Max's father had pulled some strings at the Ministry, and although, there was nothing we could do against Lucius himself, he never did lay a hand on me, it would seem that our good old Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, thought it best just to keep Draco away from me until school started, and that he was certain, we had just had a fight, as, Fudge put it,
"Teenagers often will, especially when fighting for the attention of their parents."

    "What a jerk he was, always looking the other way, never wanting to hear anything remotely connected to Voldemort except to hear that he had been caught."  Kiara paused as she took a drink of her tea.

    Well, after what seemed the shortest week in History, it was once again time to go back to school.  Max and I made it to Kingscross and onto Platform 9 and 3/4 then onto the train with no problems what so ever.  It wasn't until just after the train pulled out of the station that Draco and his cronies showed their unpleasant faces into our compartment.

    "Hello Kiara, still wasting time on this looser, I see."  Came Draco's first remark.  Crabbe and Goyle both laughed, of course.

    I was really surprised that Max  didn't kill him then and there, I really wish he would have.  I could tell that this was going to be a dangerous year for the two of us, as well as for Draco.  I believe that Max only kept Draco alive that year at because he was useful, from time to time, but that is later.

    "Get out of my sight, Draco."  Max growled.  The look he gave him actually made Draco freeze for a moment and I thought that perhaps he'd actually go but, I was wrong.  Draco soon regained his composure and brought forth that annoying smirk of his again.

    "You just don't seem to want to face the truth, do you Max"    Draco started, he said Max with such hatred in his voice that it seemed as though Max should have fallen over dead, right there on the spot.  "Kiara will never be truly yours, she belongs to me, you have noticed the ring, have you not?   It is to my knowledge that a woman with a man's ring upon her finger belongs solely to that man who gave it to her.  Or don't you believe in such things, as uneducated as your family is?'  Draco finished, then not giving Max a chance to retort, he disappeared out of the doorway.

[Sabastian]

Wow, uhm, wow.  I think I'm ready to hurt Draco now....

[Evil_To_The_Max]

 :o :o OH!SABASTION?!WANTS TO HURT DRACO?! :o :o lol....j/k! anyway,your readers would enjoy more of your wonerful story,kiara.

[Kiara Johnson]

(Thanks guys  :))

    "I should have killed him this summer, when I had the chance." Max said between gritted teeth.
"No Max, I am glad you didn't, my life would be awful if you were to be sitting in Azkaban Prison just now." I replied, laying a hand on his knee and turning a smile at him.  Hoping he would drop it, at least for now.

    Little did I know, Harry and Ron had gotten the news of my incident with Draco this summer.  I found out however, when they poked their heads into our compartment.

    "Harry!"  I said with all the excitement of a girl my age. Then got up and gave him a huge hug in greeting then sat back down as I noticed the look upon Ron's face.  As soon as I saw it, I knew they knew.

 Suddenly questions began to fly, as we were joined by Hermione and Em'.  It would seem, everyone knew.  I don't know why I was so surprised by this though, they are after all, both my family and friends.

    After I had related my story, they all sat back quietly for a few moments.  Then, as I looked up, I noticed that Harry had a really chilling look about him, almost as Max had, the night it had happened.  

    "Harry, I'm not asking you to forget about this, but please, think, there really isn't much you can do about it, except for perhaps, making Draco's days at school a bit more harsh.  Please, none of you, go after him or the like.  I still have to go back there this summer."  I told him, I told them all.  It was the truth, there was no way around it, I was stuck going back to the Malfoy Manor this summer rather it was good for me or not.

    "Kiara -- ok, you win, but I will be sure to make his days at Hoggwarts school the worst time of his life, I just can't believe he did this, I mean I always knew he was a jerk but this puts him to a whole new low."  Harry replied with a bit of the danger gone from both his and Ron's expressions now.
"Thanks Harry, Ron."  I said as I laid back to rest on Max's shoulder.

    The rest of our journey to Hoggwarts was very much uneventful, as a matter of fact, I do believe I fell asleep the rest of the way.

    Kiara stopped her story as Moloch sauntered into the room, his expression seemed a bit tired but he was cheerful non the less.  He actually wore a smile on his otherwise serious face.

     "So how's everyone tonight?  Are we at school again yet?"  Moloch asked.
"Just arriving there hun, glad you could make it.  Kami and I were just getting ready to start dinner, how about you and Celeste get this stuff cleared up and we should have everything ready to go in about an hour."   Kiara replied, standing up and walking over to him, kissing him lightly on the cheek then she and Kami disappeared  into the kitchen.

[Sabastian]

LOl, oh, sorry Max, quess that'd be your job. ;)
Keep it going girl!

[~ Ella]

Ya, keep it coming hun!  :-*

[Kiara Johnson]

         PART 4


    "So, have you had any thought as to your answer yet Celeste?"  Moloch asked as soon as they were left alone.
"No Grandfather, I haven't an answer, there is one I wish to be true but at this time, I can not make myself believe it, it's too simple.  I think I will wait for my answer, just to be sure."  She smiled.  

    It was odd, but since her grandfather had given her the opportunity to discover his secret, she was no longer nervous around him.  As a matter of fact, she considered him an adversary, in good sport, now.  This was like a new toy he had brought to her, a new game and she liked it.  They talked a while as they cleared the teas tray and cups from the room.

   Moloch smiled when Kiara and Kami called them to dinner.  Celeste and Moloch walked together into the dinning area, when they came through he door together, they received odd looks from both Kiara and Kami.
 
    "What?"  Both Celeste and Moloch said in unison.  They laughed.

    Kiara and Kami just shook their heads and they all sat down to dinner.  For the most part, dinner went quickly, everyone wanting to get back to the story.  The only conversation was about Celeste's training, Belgarion laughed slightly as he related an incident much the same as had happened to Kiara when she was training under him.

    "Yes, she was stuck in the void for three hours before she was able to find her way out, at least it wasn't three days."  Belgarion said, giving Kiara a wink.
    "Ok, that's enough of that."  Kiara said, also smiling.  "well, at least she did good."  Kiara finished.

     Celeste looked surprised at Kiara.  "You mean to tell me you were stuck in there for three days!"  She said, wondering how her grandmother could have not figured it out much sooner than she had.

    "Well, I do have to go to Kiara's defense on this one."  Belgarion started, "You see, your grandmother had a very evil minded, adversary who stuck her there.  He put her there for keeps, unlike I do to my students, he left no escape rout.  There was nothing I could do to help her and it was a miracle she ever even got out at all."  Belgarion said, ending the story there at a look from Kiara.

    "What was his name, grandmother?"  Celeste asked.
"Migan." Kiara said shortly then stood up ending the conversation.  "Well, shall we go back into the drawing room, or would you all rather I just end the story for tonight?"  She continued, still in that short tone, walking towards the drawing room before anyone had a chance to reply.

   "Celeste looked between Moloch and Belgarion then to her mother.  They all shook their heads and stood and followed Kiara into the drawing room, no one would speak of this Migan again.  Celeste followed, sure that mention of this person would come up in her grandmothers story at some point, obviously he was not liked too well.

   Ok, where was I?"  Kiara asked as the rest sat down around the room.  Her tone was once again far off, as if she were not really there.  "Oh, beginning the sixth year, ok then ---"

    We departed from the train, I turned as Draco called my name, just in time to see him fall from the steps and into a huge mud puddle, Ron was standing behind him looking very innocent indeed.  Everyone laughed about it as we got into the coach that was to take us all to the castle.

    "I can't believe you tripped him Ron."  I said, trying to scold him but unable to control my laughter at the same time.
"Me?  Would I do something like that on purpose?  It was a complete accident."  Ron said, with the straightest expression he could muster.  That made Harry and Max burst out in another fit of laughter, I joined them, as did Hermione and Emily.  We laughed all the way to the castle but made ourselves stop before we got out of the coach, when we did, we caught a glimpse of Draco's muddy form walking with his friends into the castle.  It was difficult, but we kept our faces straight, knowing that Draco would have gone straight to Professor Snape to try and get Ron into trouble.

    We were correct in our assumption, at dinner, after Professor Dumbledore had finished his usual speech, Professor Snape went over to the Gryffindor table and took Ron aside.  He of course could not prove a thing so, Ron was let to return to his table.  Snape looked more than a little angry, this was proof enough for me that Ron got off.  I smiled over at him.

[Sabastian]

LOL, too funny.  continue please.
