Tika sat at a table in the common room. Few kids were still in here, and most of them were leaving. Behind her, she heard a light tap. Turning around she saw a tall black owl. It was her father's owl, she remembered it all these years. Opening the window, Tika took the letter quickly.
Dearest Tika,
I am afraid I have dreadful news. Your mother has just passed away, she was murdered by your horrid stepfather. I will be ariving at Hogwarts in a few hours so we may discuss you living with me. I have already moved to Britain, and have a nice home. We must also discuss......my job, as you may call it. And my......boss, as you may call him.
Yours Truly,
Damion Whisper
A.K.A Father
Tika dropped the letter on the ground and stared at it. Silent tears by the thousands made their way down her eyes. She didn't even bother to wipe them away. Her mother was a death eater, but she also was a weak one. And she loved her daughter, at least a bit. But her father was right in Voldemorts inner circle. He hated everyone but Voldemort. And now Tika was going to live with him. 'Much worse he'll be arriving soon.' A voice said in her head.
Payne walked in and looked at Tika. Sheran over to her."What's wrong?"
Tika handed her the letter. 'He's horrible. I hate him.' She thought.
Payne's eyes ran over the paper."I'll make sure he doesn't take you,okay. You'll be alright."
"You don't know what he's like. I don't think anybody could stop him." She said, still letting the tears just roll.
"Please. If he's one of Voldy's lackeys then I think I can take him."Payne smiled.
Tika laughed. "No, you don't get it. Voldemort asked for my father to join him. My father can do things. Weird things. And he's not afraid to use them on me." She shuddered and crossed her arms weakly.
(A.K.A- Mind control, making things vanish off Earth.)
"We'll then I've probably...err...nevermind." Payne nervously stumbled over her words~Time to change the subject...~"So when's he coming?"
"Now." A bone-chilling voice sneered behind them. Tika's eyes widened as she stared at him.
Payne's eyes grew wide as she looked at him. She quickly hid here face so he didn't recognize her.
Damion Whisper brushed away a strand of black hair. "Hello Baby." He walked over and gave Tika a stiff hug. "Now, who's you friend?" He looked at Payne. "Wait a minute........." He stared at her for a second.
Payne looked at Tika,"I do not know him." Of course this was a lie.
(Yo Tika. I'm going to PM you on what I mean by him knowing me. It also explains why my mother wanted me to train you.)
Damion laughed. "Forget me so soon? Come on Payne, you must remeber. I do." He smirked and snickered again. Tika stared at Payne, hoping her father was lying. She got up and moved to lean against the wall.
Payne pointed her finger at Damion,"Listen you little imbisile. I left Voldy for a reason. Don't start bring up crap just cause your a pathetic fool."
'Great.' Tika thought. "Why you little brat! You left The Dark lord because you were weak. Now, shut up or I'll send your bones to Mars." He glared at hre and sat down.
Payne rolled her eyes,"Oh please I taught you. The reason I left the dark lord was because he was weak."She shook her head,"Did my lessons go through one ear and out the other. I told you to stay on the strongest side. Not the weakest."
Damion sneered. "I may not be able to do anything with you. But Tika is mine." He stood up and grabbed her arm. "Your coming with me and you're not coming back. I can't believe the crap they let in here now."
Payne shook her head,"And to think you were one of my promising students."She grabbed Tika's arm orbed to the woods.
Tika staggered backwards. "I have to run. I have to leave. He'll find me I know he will." She started breathing in gasps, whipping around everywhere.
"Alright. But I'm coming with you. He may be strong but he can't stand up against me."
Tika nodded and took off running. 'The wolf haven.' She thought, reering towards there.
(g2g)
Payne ran after her. It kinda disappointed her that one of her apprentices was after them but whatever. Emotions just get in the way.
(Bye Tika!)
(was eating.)
Tika was lost. She had no clue where she was going. Maybe it was beter that was . She didn't want to endanger the wolves. Turning to look at Payne she said, "Well, your turn to pick a spot." But Tika felt her father getting closer.
"Hmmmm..."Payne grabbed Tika's hand and orbed to Translvania."Well we should be safe for a little while since Damion has to get off the grounds to apperate."
Ginny appeared behind them, a puzzled look on her face. She had been practiclly run over by a man in the hall, looking for Payne and Tika. She automaticcly didn't like him, and had asked him why he was after them. He made a noise and continued running. So Ginny had located Payne and Tika, and followed them.
"Who's chasing you guys?"
"My dad."
"Uh huh. So why do I reconize his voice?"
Tika sighed. "Were you ever involved with Voldemort? Or illegal shipping of items? If so.....that's why."
"Well, being friends with Kiara and Harry, I think I've fought him and his deatheaters enough- wait, is you dad one of Voldy's big buddies?"
"That would be an understatement." Tika said.
Ginny snapped her fingers, smiling.
"Ahhh, that would be why then. So, why's he chasing you?"
Tika sighed. "My mum died. He wants me now." (That sounded odd. We should your dad want you......?)
"Ohh. Well, don't go."
Tika laughed. "Of course I'm not going with him. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Ginny smirked.
"You sure you want me to answer that? Anyway, want me to block our trail?"
Tika narrowed her eyes at Ginny. "Oh, haha. One day I shall name two children after you two. One with a great sense of brutal humor, and one to get my butt out of messes." She smirked. "And that would be nice. Yes."
Ginny grinned and disappeared, blocked their trail then reappered.
"Now, if he wants to find us, he'll have to wait about a half-hour."
Tika sighed. "Where do we go now? Anybody, like, know somebody in Translvania?"
Ginny shook her head. She only knew people in anciant Romainia, not present day. She looked at Payne.
"I know this guy named Dante. He's in love with me so he will give us shelter til your dad cools down.Let's go." Payne walked to a mansion overlooking the town.
Tika followed. She felt like a pain right now. They did so much for her sorry butt. 'Wait till I'm older.' She thought.
They finally reached the mansion. She knocked on the door and a man with blonde hair answered.
"Payne! What are you doing here!"
"Hello Dante...Can me and my friends stay at your place for a while?"
"Sure! Come in." He stepped back and let them in.
Tika smiled at him and walked in.
Payne started walking up the stairs.
Ginny smiled, and followed them.
"Whats your last name, Dante?"
Dante looked at Ginny funny,"Uh Sparda."
"Ahh, I know one of your ancesters." Ginny smirked at him.
Payne shook her head and headed upstairs."Come on people!"
Dante glared at Payne,"Wait a minute! You're not going to bring a hord of demons on my house like you did last time?"
Payne had a mischivouse look on her face,"Of course not..."She procided to run to a room she sometimes slept in when she came here.
Tika came and caught up with her. "Are you sure we'll be safe here?"
"Sure...As long as I don't bring a hord of demons here...which I won't."
Tika stiffled a laugh. "Good."
Payne nodded and sat down."Anyway..."
"So, how do you and Dante know eachother?" Tika asked, sitting in a corner away from her.
"My mom knew his dad. They figured that we would be a strong couple. So she tryed to make me marry him."Payne thought for a moment."I had connections with the dark lord. He said that if I joined him that I could get away from my mom. It's kinda like picking your poison."
Tika shrugged. She knew what Payne was talking about.
"That's in the past. I didn't want to come back to Translyvania but I guess I we have no choice."Payne shrugged
"I hate guilt." Tika stated, now feeling guilty about Payne being here.
(Please reply to um, the Reunion one. Forgot what it was called.)
"Well than don't feel guilty."
"So very funny, you are."
"I know..."Payne sat over by the window.
Tika rolled her eyes.
Ginny shook her head and smiled at the other two.
