[Kiara Johnson]

(Chapter 6  The Dark Lords Lair)

    Classes had been over now for an hour and Kiara had already beaten Max once at Wizards chess and, was about ready to do it again.  Kiara smiled whickedly as Max Moved his Bishop.  She shook her head and moved her Queen into position.  "Check Mate."  she said as her Queen demolished his King.  "ok, I give up.  No wonder Weasley is so good at this game.  He plays you all the time."  Kiara laughed.  "No, he was good before I came here."  Kiara looked at Max questionaly.  "How'd you know he was good, anyway?"  Max returned her smile.  "He beat me in the Library last night."  Just then Draco walked in from Quidditch practice.  He walked over and Kissed Kiara.  "Still trying to beat her, I see." Draco said, smiling.  "You can't, you know.  The only other person besides Dumbledore who can, is Weasley, and even they can't win, all the time."  Max Laughed.  "well, at least, I learn to be a good looser."  Over the last few weeks, Max had gotten himself very much on Draco and Kiara's good side.  He even took a detention, that should heve been Draco's.  Kiara stood and kissed Draco, really friendly.  Max stared at them, a look of hatred flashing quickly accross his face.  He turnewd away.  "Uhm, excuse me but, there are placses for that you know."  He said in a teasing manner.  Kiara turned to him, blushing slightly.  "Sorry for that.  It was, rude of me."  Draco laughed.  "He was only teasing, Kiara.  It's alright anyway.  We'll be going home tomarrow.  Much more privacy there."  Draco said, grabbing her again.  Kiara laughed.  "You, behave yourself."  They wrestled around the room until Kiara's snake slitherd protectively to her side and Draco had to back off.  "See, he does come in handy, sometimes."  Kiara picked him up and draped him around her neck.  "Ya, I don't think he likes me much."  Draco said.  Kiara laughed.  "He does too, come here."  Draco smiled and walked forward.  The snale raised it's head, Draco paused.  "Come on, he's waiting for you."  Draco stepped forward.  Kiara grabbed him and brought him forward, kissing him.  The snake wound it's self around the two, then, laying it's head on Draco's back, it stared at Max who was watching with a dark look accross his face.  Guess I'll have to get rid of you too.  He thought to himself.  Then, he got up and went looking for Pansy.

[Kiara Johnson]

    "Tell me again, why we're comming down here?"  Harry asked.  "Simple, Kiara can't come see us so, we're going to her."  Ron replied.  "Let's see, what did she say was the pass word."  Just then, Max stepped out.  "What are you two doing down here?"  he asked.  "we came to see Kiara."  Ron replied.  "Oh, she's in there with Draco.  Go ahead, if you can seperate them."  He left.  Harry and Ron walked in.  A flash of jellousey flashed acdross Ron's face which, he quickly replaced with a smile.  "Uh, excuse us."  he said, clearing his throat.  Draco turnd, as much as he could, with the snake wrapped around him.  "What are you doing here?"  He asked, lifting the snake off him so that he could move.  "Hi guys!"  Kiara said happily, situating the snake.  It had gotten heavy over the last year.  "Have a seat, what's on your mind?"  she asked, pointing to the chairs.  Ron and Harry sat.  Draco went and sat oppisite them.  "How'd you get in?"  he asked.  "Max was headed out, he let us in."  Harry replied.  Ron noticed Draco was mor than a little irritated at being interupted.  He smiled.  "Actually, Kiara, I was wondering, what happend in class a few weeks ago.  Remember, you took off with Snape and told me you'd tell me later, and never did."  Kiara explained what had happend.  Harry lookedat ron then, Kiara. "When you told me about that choker, you never told me it served that purpose as well."  He looked worried.  "Don't worry so much, Harry.  The only way it could, relly, hurt me is if I, or someone else tries to take it off.  Really, it's alright."  Kiara said, smiling warmly.  Harry looked at her seriously, "Your leaving tomarrow, to see him, aren't you?"  Draco smiled slightly.  "Yes, Potter, she is.  She'll be fine.  Trust me."  Kiara kissed his cheek.  "Ya, Draco won't let anything happen to me.  Besides, as long as I've got him with me, father's power can't cunsume me."  Harry put on a fake smile.  "I don't suppose ther is any way I could convince you to stop this."  (NO there isn't.  She has to go."  The fate told Harry.  Kiara, Draco and Ron looked at Harry who, suddenly went blank then, came back again.  "You ok?"  Ron asked.  Harry shook his head.  "I got, a message from --"  He tapped his head.  "oh."  Ron and Kiara said in unison.  draco looked lost.  "What, you hearing voices now, Potter?"he said.  "You havn't told him about the fates yet Kiara?"Harry said.  Kiara shook her head.  "It, just hasn't come up."  she paused.  "Ok, so I neglected to tell him.  So what."  Ron gapped at her.  "Don't you think maybe, this is at least, a little important for him to know?"  Ron said, amaze at the fact that Kiara hadn't told the one person she needed to tell.  "Well, we can explain it to him now."  she said, smiling.  Ron and harry shook their heads in defeat.  They then explaind it to Draco.  "Makes one fell, weel, kinda helpless, doesn't it."  Draco said, after they had explained.  "Why then, haven't I been talk to by it?"  Harry thought.  "maybe, you havn't done anything that warrents it, yet.
"What did it just tell you, Harry?"  Kiara asked.  Harry looked like he didn't want to tell her but, finally, "It said you had to go."  He said quietly.  "That doesn't meen I agree, though."  He  paused.  "You just make sure she stays safe, Slytherin."  He continued, looking at Draco seriously.  "You can count on it, Potter."  Draco replied.  "Ya, just bring her back to us, ok."  Ron added.  Kiara smiled.  "ok, youtwo, you best be getting back now.  Thank you."  They got up and started walking out.  Kiara ran up and hugged the two of them.  "I love you guys.  Don't worry so much.  I'll be back, you can't get rid of me that easily."  They smiled weekly as they walked out.

BUMP!!!!

[Kiara Johnson]

    The next morning, after breakfast, the car came to pick Draco and Kaira up.  "You'll take good care of him while I'm gone?  Make sure he eats, atleat once.  He tends to sulk when I'm not around."  Kiara said to Pansy as she was stepping into the car.  "Yes, yes, he'll be fine, Kiara.  I made him so I sjould be able to take care of him, right?  Go, have fun."  Pansy replied, ujusting the snake around her neck.  "Ok, bye/"  the car pulled away and Kiara and Draco were once again, going home.

    Lucius didn't meet them at the front dorr this time.  Instead, they were greeted by a small man with a silver hand.  "Welcome home, younge Mr. Malfoy and of course, Lady Kiara.  Your father awaits you in the stables.  I am to bring you to him."  Kiara didn't like this, twitch little man.  He reminded her instantly of a worm an the end of a pole.  He repulsed her.  So, when he offerd her his arm sh put on a, lofty, attitude, looked at his offerd arm then back to his twitchy little face.  "Thanks but, I know the way."  She walk pass.  Draco stiffled a laugh.  He knew too well who this Twitchy little man was.  He also knew that he was trying, as usual, to suck up to power.  "Don't think she cares much for you, Peter.  I'd keep my distance, if I were you.  Why the stables?  Are we going somewere?"  I think you father intends on introducing Kiara to Maestro.  Draco looked suprised at this.  His father never so much as let someone look at his Gryiffin.  "Don't look so suprised.  It is our Lords wish, he has no choice."  Peter said, smiling.

[Kiara Johnson]

     They arrived at the stables, Lucius was there, waiting for them.  Kiara walked forward.  "Hell, again.  I trust you find my arrearance more to your liking, this time."  She said, giving Lusius a small grin.  Peter looked as though he were about to have a heart attack.  He had never heard anyone talk to Lucius in such an offhand manner before, and live to tell about it.  Draco smiled. Then, whisperd to Peter, "She's got him wrapped around her little finger.  She says jump, and he does....angrily, but he does.  Watch."  Draco smiled again, he loved to see his father manipulated like this.  The fact that he couldn't lay a finger on her, made it even more, entertaining.  Lucius scoweld.  "And I trust, my dear child, that you've purged yourself of all traces of that Muddblood from your system."  Kiara smiled then, to Peters horror, she gave him a hug and, standing on tip-teos, kissed his cheek.  "Glad that's over."  She smiled at Lucius.  "Lets not do that again, for a while, anyway."  Lucius shook his head.  I've brought you down here to get acquainted with a, friend, of mine.  "Not, him, I hope."  Kiara said, looking at Peter with dissgust.  Lucius laughed.  "Doesn't care much for you, old boy."  Peter didn't say anything.
 
    "Follow me kiara, you two will stay here."  Lucius headed towards the very back of the stables.  Kiara followed.  "Remember how I told you this stable houses more than just horses?"  Lucius asked.  "Yes."  Kiara answered.  "You are about to meet one of those.  His name is Maestro, he's my Gryffin."  Kiara didn't reply.  Her intrest however, was peeked.

    They came to a large door.  Lucius stopped and turned to Kiara.  "Stay here, don't even move, until I tell you to."  Lucius turned back to the door.  He pointed his wand at the lock  "Alohomora."  the latch clicked open.  Lucius opened the doors and walked in.  Kiara noticed a huge room beyond the doors.  Then, she heard a growl.  Kiara could just see the beast's tail.  Then, it walked up to Lucius and bowed down to him.  It was, looking at Kaira however.  "Well come in girl, I won't hurt you."  Kiara heard it say.  Onlt it wasn't talking.  "Your a telepath."  Kiara thought back at it.  "Lucius told me to stay put until he says to come in.  My name is Kiara, by the way."  The Gryffin stood up.  It was huge.  Lucius said something to it and it looked sideways at him.  "oh come in, Lucius only told you that because, i normaly like to kill, any unwanted, guests."  Kiara hesitated then, she walked in.  Lucius turned.  "No!"  but stopped when he relized.  "You can talk to him.  I should have guessed."  Kiara began petting Maestro.  "Well this certainly makes it a lot easier."  Lucius paused.   "Your father wants you to go tohim, alone."  Kiara stopped smiling but continued to pet Maestro.  "You will ride him to your fathers, lair or, at least,  to the entence.  Maestro will wait for you there.  He knows the way.  You leave now."  Kiara opened her mouth to protest butm was cut short.  "No, you wont be saying good bye to Draco, you'll see him, soon enough."  Maestro bowed down again, Lucius helped Kiara up.  Then, Lucius pointed his wand at the celing and it opend up.  Maestro took a great leap, into the air then, they flew West.

[Kiara Johnson]

lol, thanks, I'll post more, maybe tonight.

[Kiara Johnson]

    Lucius came back out side.  "You can go back to our master now, she's gone."  Peter smiled then, disapperated.  Draco looked angrily at his father.  "What sdo you mean, gone.  Where'd Maestro take her?"  Lucius started back towards the house.  "She's off to see her father."  Draco started following him.  "You mean to tell me, you sent her off, AOLONE!  What if ---"  Lucius spun around.  "You will keep your mouth shut!  She had no choice!  Her father wishes to see her alone then, she goes alone.  We do not question.  It is not our place!"  Draco stopped and stared angrilly at Lucius.  "If anything happens to her, Lucius, you won't live to regret it."  Draco said in a low, emotionaless tone, giving his father the most dark look.  Lucius narrowed his eyes.  "If your threatening me, boy, You'd better be able to back it up.  There is only one thing keeping me from killing you right now and, that's even beginning to wear thin."  Lucius turned slowly, "Oh, and by the way, she won't be coming back, any time soon."  He continued to walk to the house.
*********************************************

    "I thought Gryffins were mostly brown.  Your all black, Why?"  Kiara asked.  "And I thought, little girls were supposed to keep quiet and not ask so many questions."  Kiara had done nothing but, talk and ask questoins, for the last fifteen minutes.  Maestro was becoming rather annoyed.  "Well, sorry!  I've just never flown, like this before.  Can I help it if I'm excited?"
"Well, enjoy it while you can, we're almost there."  Kiara tensed.  "You don't want to go, do you.  I can't blame you.  No one should have to go there, if they don't want.  It's an evil place.  Sorry I had to bring you."  Kiara was silent for a while.  "It's ok, i know Lucius has put some sort of spell on you.  When I figure it out, I'll break it then, I'll let you eat him.  ok."  Maestro laughed.  "Thats ok, he wouldn't taste to good, I think.  We're there."  They landed in the woods.  Kiara hopped off.  "You go in there."  Maestro pointed his beak at a small cave, jutting out of the ground.  "Thanks for putting up with me."  Kiara said, hugging Maestro.  "Get out of here."  He told her.  She smiled at his attempt at gruffness.  Then, she turned and stepped into the cave.

[Kiara Johnson]

     
    Peter met her, just inside.  "hello, again, follow me."  Once again, he offerd her his arm.  "No, thanks, I can manage."  she said, waiting for him to go.  "Suit yourself."  He began walking.  They seemed to walk on forever, heading deeper and deeper,, under ground.  The only light they had, came from their wands.  Finnally, Kiara saw light up ahead.  They walked into it.  What she saw, was absolutely amazing.  It was an underground city, compleat with a magical clouded sky.  The buildings were tall and packed closely together.  There were litterally, hundreds of people and, other creatures walking about, this way or that.  Each one, wore a black cloak and a dark, evil expression an their faces.  It made her skin crawl.

    "Stay with me, talk to no one and look at no one and, you'll be ok."  Peter told her in a cold, unfriendly manner.  She did as he told her.  They walked into a building and down several corridors before finaly, coming to a door.  Peter opend it and stepped aside.  "You'll wait for your father in here.  He'll be along when he pleases."  Kiara stepped inside.  Peter closed and locked the door behinf her.  The sound of the lock, echoed in this, vast, empty room.

    Kiara imeadeatly recoginized this room.  It was the same room that Voldamort brought her to last year, when he had killed Harry.  There, sitting in front of her was, that same, high backed chair thet her father had sat in.  The haze was gone now though.  She figured it looked that way before because, she was only here in sirit.  Kiara walked around, looking at the paintings an the walls.  They were terrifying.  Painting of of human sacrifice and death.  Kiara was scared.  There was no Draco, no Snape.  She was compleatly and utterly, alone.

    "I see you made it."  Kiara jumped.  "Yes, father, you wanted to see me?"  Voldamort studied her.  "Your frightend, why?"  Kiara looked at the floor.  "I remember this place.  Yes, it frightens me."  Voldamort laughed darkly.  "As it should.  This, is the place, you first met me.  The place were, I killed your brother, whom, you so annoyingly brought back to the living.  Do you have any idea, how long, I had been waiting to do that.  Then, you come along and spoil it for me.  Now, I am unable to kill him.  You, are the only one with that power, now."  He grabbed her chin and made her look at him.  "You will learn to abey me.  You will, be totaly, mine.  That is why I brought you here.  I think, you need a little training."  Kiara gave no expression.  She just continued to stare in to those hiddious eyes of his.  This, seemed to annoy him.  "Oh, so you arn't afraid of me."  He paused to amile at her.  He let go of her chin and walked slowly around her.  "You will be, by the time I let, if Iet, you out of here, you will be."  Kiara didn't move, didn't say anything.  She just stood there, verry still.  "So, about this boy, Max, isn't it?  I hear, he's been rather a pain.  Have you had any troubles after Lucius talked with him?"  He was sitting in the chair now.  Kiara turned to face him.  "No, no problems since.  As a matter of fact, he seems to have become, well, pleasent."  Voldamort amiled.  "You are too trusting.  You shouldn't turn your back on him just yet.  He might, just have a dagger or two still hidden.  We'll, keep an eye on him."  Voldamort stood up.  "I have no further need for you, tonight.  We'll start your -- training, tomarrow.  I have, other, things to attend to just now.  Peter will show you to your room."  Then, he dissaperated  The door opened and Peter beckond her forward.  He took her down some more corridors then, finaly to what would be her room.  "Dinner is on the table.  I'll be back for you in the morning."  He closed and locked the door.  Kiara sat at the table.  "Draco, Harry, someone, help me."  she cried.

[Kiara Johnson]

(Chapter 7.  The Dark Lords Power.)

    Draco paced the floor.  Kiara had been gone for several hours now.  "Oh, will you quit!  Your really rather annoying.  What are you so worried about.  He's not going to harm her.  If she does as he says."  Lucius finaly broke the silence.  Draco stopped pacing and turned to his father.  "Ya, IF, she does as he asks.  She's not an evil, blood thirsty monster like him.  Sure, she's no angel and yes, she does support his cause but, she will fight against him, I know it.  That's, what I'm worried about."  Lucius studdied his son before speaking.  "I don't know, Draco.  She seemed to quite enjoy killing that Muggle, last time.  You saw the smile on her face and, the way she did it, awful.  Yes, Draco, she is every bit like her father.  She just needs some coaxing to realize it for herself.  She really has no ised, what's she cappable of.  Neither do yu, for that matter.  You'll see."  Draco's temper roase a notch but, he kept himself in check.  "I like her the way she is.  Changing her is the sam as killing her --- "  he left it hanging then, turned and walked from the room.
**********************************************

    Harry sat up in bed.  He'd felt Kiara calling him.  What was it she said.  he couldn't remember.  All that was left, was a feeling total aloneness.  He shudderd at the feeling.  (She's fine Harry.  Go back to sleep.)  the fate said.  "No she's not!  She's alone and scared!"  Harry thought back.  (Don't yell at me.  There's nothing you can do about it so go back to sleep.)  Harry suddenly felt verry tired, he lay back down and went to sleep.
**********************************************

    Kiara ate what she could.  She was to frightend to be hungry.  She got up, went and layed on the bed.  (Just do as he asks and you'll be able to leave.)  the fate told her.  Kiara jumped a little.  But, what if he asks me to kill, again?  I can't, no again."  She answerd.  (He will.  Just do, what ever it takes to get yourself out of here, alive.)  Kiara started crying again.  (Oh stop it!)  Kiara stopped.  Suddenly she felt very calm.  She fell asleep.  (There, that's better.)

    Kiara woke up.  Peter was in her room, staring at her.  "What are you doing in here!"  she yelled at him.  "I brought you some breakfast, better eat, you'll need your stength."  He laughed as he left the room.

    Kiara ate then, noticing he had left her a cloke and a change of cloths, she changed.  Oh Great!  Noe I look like the Grim Reaper.  she laughed at herself.

    Another hour past untill Peter finally came after her.  Kiaea was begining to get really irritated by his attitude.  Waking up to this twitchy little man had put her mood on bad.  "You'd do yourself some good to treat me a bit nicer and, next time I wake up to find you staring at me like that, I'll burn your hair off and feed your good hand to the wolves."  Kiara said angerly.  Peter just kept walking and didn't say anything.They were heading down hill again.  When they arrived at their destination, Kiara was sickend by both the sight and the smell of the place.  They were standing in, what seemd to be, the dungeon, cells were packed full of Muggles, magic folk and other creatures as well.

    Voldamort walked up to them.  Peter went immediately to the ground, groveling.  "Oh, your sick."  Kiara said to him, in disgust.  Voldamort dissmissed Peter.  "So, you don't approve of people bowing down to me?"  Voldamort said, watching Kiara's expression.  "That, wasn't bowing.  That was a disgusting display of a spineless worm, groveling on the ground, waiting to be thrown to the sharks on the end of a hook."  Kiara replied, watching Peter leave.  Voldamort laughed.  "You are, disgusted, by weakness.  good, maybe this won't take long."  Voldamort motiond to one of the gards, to take a Muggle woman, from one of the cells.  "Put her up in the pen."  he orderd.  "Now, follow me, Kiara."  They walked out if the dungeon and in to , what seemed to Kiara, as a gladiator stadium.  People were seated and standing all around.  The stands went 30 perhaps 40 stories up.  They were compleatly, packed.  Voldamort brought her to a box seat, located in the front.  "Now, here's what is going to happen.  Two Muggles are going to come out, each armed, they wll fight each other until, one dies.  Both believe, they will be set free if they win.  Of course, we know better."  He paused to look at Kiara's reaction.  She hadd noine.  "This, is were you come into play.  I want you to kill, the winner."  Kiara looked at her father.  "And if I refuse --"  Voldamort smiled, a most unfriendly smile.  "Then you will be put into the dungeon and torcherd until you decide, to, do,as I say!"  Kiara flinched from him.  "Ok, at least, I wouldn't have to kill one of them."  she sneerd.  "If you do not, I will be sure to kill the winner slowly, and painfully.  You, will be made to watch and the Muggle, will be told that, their suffering is your fault. He or she, will curse your name with his last anguished scream."  He glared at her.  "You have until the and of the match to decide, bothe yours and, The Muggle's, fate."  Kiara didn't reply.  She knew there was no way out of it.  If she didn't kill the winner then, they would most certainly suffer a very painful death.  She had already made up her mind.

[Kiara Johnson]

(Not sleeping so, am writing.  lol here's some more)

    The Muggles came out of their seperate cages.  One, female.  The other a larg male.  Both were armed with a sword.  They both faught well and, if not fot the fact that the male outweighed the female by about 20 pounds, she may have won but, she did not.  The people in the stands were yelling and chanting something, Kiara couldn't make out.  "Well ---"  Kiara layed her hand on her fathers arm.  "I'll do it."  She got up and walked into the enclosure.  The spectators whent quiet.

    When the Muggle saw her he went straight to the ground, groveling at her feet.  "Oh, get up!"  she yelled at him.  "No, miss, I can not, it is, forbidden." he replied in a most cowardly tone.  "I - SAID - GET UP!"  Kiara jerked her hand upwards and made the man stand before her.  "You do know, that I must kill you now.  Don't you?"  she said in an emotionaless tone.  "But, but, I was told ---"
"They Lied!"  she then walked up to the trembling wild eyed Muggle and, laying her hand on his chest made a fist and quickly jerked it back.  Blood ran from the Man mouth and he fell to the ground, dead.  Kiara looked down at her hand.  She was holding the man's. still beating heart.  She quickly dropped it then turned and walked back to Voldamort who, was laughing.  "Clean it off!"  she yelled at the nearest guard.  He quickly did as she orderd.  "Your angry with me, why?" Voldamort questiond.  "You knew he would be a spinless worm!  you knew, that in it's self, would anger me enough to do it!  You got your way, I hope your happy."  she said angrily.  Voldamort just laughed.  "Watch, see that girl up there --"  he pointed to a young witch, standing on one of the highest piers.  Kiara looked, "Yes."  Voldamort smiled.  "Jump."  He whisperd, holding his hand out to the witch.  She stepped off the pier, falling to her death.  She didn't even scream.  Kiara noticed, she wa smiling, the whole way down.  Kiara paled.  "You see my power now, all these being, each one, totaly loyal to me.  All live only to die for me."  He then grabbed her arm and the two dissaperated and reapeard in the large,empty room she was first brought to.

    "Now, to teach you to properly address me."
"If you expect me to grovel on the ground like one of your servants, you can forget it!"  Kiara's eyes flashed in anger.  She was not afraid now.  She knew what was expected of her and she decided to get angry about it instead.  Voldamort grinned.  "Yes, you will bow to me."  He pointed his wand at her and tried to make her bow.  Kiara was ready and she stopped his spell, easily.  "No I --"  Peter had tried sneaking up on her from behind but, she knew he was there.  Just as he pulled out his wand, she spun around and, with a flick of her hand, he was levitated in the air, upside down.  "I don't like you.  Your nothing more than a spineless, twitchy, vile, little man.  Try something like that again and, I'll kill you."  Peter paled as she dissarmed him.  Kiara turnd back to her father, bent on one knee and bowed her head, quickly. Then, she stood back up.  "There, is that what you wanted. I hope so because, it's all your ever going to get from me."  Kiara siad, staring him straight in the eyes.  "Well, at least it is a show of respect.  i can live with it,"  He stared back at her.  "Now, if you would please --"  He guestured towards Peter.  "Oh, verry well, if you insist."  Kiara released him and he fell to the floor with a thud.
