DRACOS’ REIGHN

[Kiara Johnson]

INTRO

Draco Malfoy sat in his a long forgotten Keep.  A place that no one even knew existed any longer.  Or at least, few knew existed.  He had put up all the barriers to protect his whereabouts.  If Kiara even thought of the place, she'd loose her train of thought, if any one, for that matter, thought of it, they'd get frustrated by forgetting what it was the were think of and go on to another thought.

Kiara didn't realize that Draco had indeed touched her mind with the stone.  Only he had done so with such lightness, she didn't notice.  He was confusing her every thought, each time she got close to finding his location, she'd get tired and sleep.  Now, Draco just played a waiting game.  It would take his spell another three weeks to work its course.  When complete, he'd rule Kiara, heart, mind and soul and there would be no one, who could change it, or though, he thought.

CHAPTER ONE:  Impossible Search

IT had been a week since Kiara woke up, breathless in bed after Draco had captured her Soulstone.  Now, she and Max struggled every day to try and find a way to regain what had been stolen.  Not even Moloch, Kiara's' new guardian could give them any clues.  It was if no one and nothing could help.  Draco had seemingly vanished from the face of the earth.

"We've gone to every corner of this country to try and find him but there is no sign, any where."  Harry said as he paced his office at the Ministry.

"Then perhaps he's not in England."  Ginny suggested.

"I honestly think you might be right Gin."  Max replied after some thought.  "But where would he go?  And why can't Kiara even connect with her own Soulstone?  It just makes no sense."

Harry's office was cluttered with books and parchment, all of which contained any and all information regarding both England's upper and lower quadrants.  Also, included where all the past hiding places known to be used by the late Lord Voldem0rt.

"How's she doing Max?"  Ginny asked.

"Well, other than being extremely stressed and a little jumpy, she's fine.  It seems Draco is waiting for something, I just wish I knew what.  He hasn't even played with her mind yet, not a single dream or anything. "  Max replied, looking a bit worried.

"He's definitely up to something Max.  And that's not good."  Harry said, laying a piece of parchment on the already full desk.

"Are we sure we know everything there is to know about the Soulstone guys?  I mean, what if Draco knows something we don't?"  Ginny asked.

"No, I'm positive we don't know everything there is to know.  And yes, I am positive Draco has found something that we haven't."  Harry replied, looking at Max who was now, pacing the floor.

They all jumped as someone knocked at the door.  Ginny went and answered it.

"Find anything yet?"  Kiara asked, looking from face to face and knowing the answer to her question before anyone even spoke.

"I'm sorry Kiara."  Max said, walking over and putting his arm around her shoulders.

Kiara took a deep breath.

"He's not even in England, is he?"  She asked.

Harry and Ginny both shook their heads.

"No, he's not.  I just don't know where to start looking for him now, that's all."  Harry replied.

Kiara nodded.

"Ok, well, have you found anything more about the Soulstone then?"  Kiara asked again.

"Well, from what we've gathered, we did find that who ever posses the stone gains certain powers of the soul incased in said stone."  Harry replied.

"Great.  More good news."  Kiara replied sarcastically.

Kiara laid her head on Max's shoulder and sighed.

"We'll figure it out Kiara, I just hope we do so before Draco decides to act."  Max said, running his hand through her hair.

"Where on earth could he possibly be that I can not connect with my own Soulstone?"  Kiara said, raising her head and now walking further into the room.  "Not a single whisper from the earth or even a single sign. "  She continued, now pacing the floor as Max had just a few moments before.  Then, Kiara sat down and closed her eyes.

"Kiara are ..."

Max put a hand on Ginny's arm.

"Don't bother, she'll awake again in a few hours.  It happens every tie she starts searching for him.  I think that perhaps we were wrong about him messing with her.  I think he's done something to make her forget."  Max said, letting Ginny's arm loose and picking Kiara up form the chair.

"I'm taking her home.  Let me know if you find anything."  Then he left.

CHAPTER TWO:  Kiara's Fall

Kiara slept for several days, when she finally woke, Max was sitting at her side, as always.  He never left her side for anything.  Unless, she made him go that was.

"You're awake."  Max smiled, wiping a strand of hair from her face.

Kiara nodded and sat up, looking about the room.

"How long was I out this time Max?"  Kiara asked, looking at him with her head tilted to the side.

"Two days Kiara.  I was a bit worried."

Kiara raised her had smiled.

"I'm ..." She trailed off, a look of sudden horror on her face.

"What is it Kiara?"  Max asked, grabbing her shoulders and turning her to look at him.

Kiara didn't respond, she simply looked at him.  That looks was both scared and sad all at the same time.  Before Max could do anything however, Kiara vanished, leaving him holding nothing more than air.

Max sat down hard on the bed and stared at the spot she was just sitting.

Max was stunned, never before had anyone, not even the Devil himself, taken her away so easily.  Draco was certainly a bigger enemy than any of them had expected.

"Harry." He said quietly and waited.

Harry however, never got his message, it was Moloch that appeared n his home, his silvery red eyes staring down at Max with no expression showing in them what so ever.

"Moloch..." Max started but was cut short at a look.

"I know Max, it was bound to happen, everything pointed that way, there is nothing you can do, for now.  We will just have to wait, bide our time and then find her.  I have a few thoughts, I wrote them down however, when I look at them and try to consciously read them, they go all blurry.  Care to give it a try Max?"  Moloch handed max a piece f parchment with two words written on it.

Max took the leathery parchment and frowned at what it was made of then shook his head and looked at the words written on the parchment-like substance.

What he saw was nothing more than two red ink blots, no words at all seemed to come out of the mess.

"I think you messed up old man.  There isn't anything but blotches here."  Max said a little annoyed.

Moloch laughed.  "It's just as I thought, no one can read them.  Evidently, I wrote them in a trance.  Looks like another quest for you then."  

"A quest?"  Max replied.

"Yes, a quest to find your wife.  We need a stone to read these words.  And there is only one place I know that posses the stone of truth..."  Moloch paused and looked at Max.  "You aren't likely to like the location, the last known keeper of the stone of truth was Evan.." Moloch finished.

"Great!  He hated me when he was an angel, I can only imagine how easy this isn't going to be."  Max replied, knowing that he really had no choice, if he wanted Kiara back again.

**********

"Draco, when I get clear of this stupid field, I'll..." Kiara started then punched the invisible shield put about her.

Draco laughed as he watched her.

"No Kiara, I'm afraid you wont, I've only four more days till I gain total control over you and those magnificent powers of yours.  No, I'm afraid you most certainly won't be hurting me.  Perhaps that husband of yours, but not me."  Draco told her, his manner less than friendly and his icy-blue eyes piecing into her mind.

Kiara knew he was right, even now, though she fought it, she could tell she was slipping form her normal reality and into the one Draco wanted her in, the one Evan had warned her about.  It seemed that every hour, every minute and even the slightest second that passed with out Max next to her, she was loosing control, falling into the dark nature she was born to be in.

"What makes you think I still won't kill you just for the sake of killing you once I do become what you want."  Kiara hissed at Draco, although she already knew she wouldn't, so long as he posses the Soulstone, he was safe.

Draco just laughed again and laid his hand on the field separating the two.  "No Kiara, you won't, you'll be more than happy to help me in anything and everything.  Trust me love, some day you'll be the better for it.  That some day is but 163 hours away."  He finished, letting his hand slide from the field then walking away.

Two days had passed and still, Kara struggled as much as she could to resist the urges of darkness that seemed to creep through her stringer every passing moment.  She couldn't even remember why she was here any longer, just that she didn't want to be, Draco was the only person she ever saw and even his company was beginning to become welcome, and she didn't think it should be.

"Tell me again Draco, what it is we are doing>?'  Kiara asked her voice subdued.

Draco smiled, he was winning the battle and he knew it.

"Kiara, Love, we are training you for your future reign.  That's the only reason you must stay here, in this shielded room, to protect you while you gain your strength "  He lied easily.'

He had it all planned out, he was following every rule the old testaments told him he must, if he wanted to be the only one to control her.  He was the only face she could see during the last four days of the Soulstone rebirth and she had to be lead on to believe she was what she was becoming.

Draco, now in the room with her, walked over to where she sat and looked down at her, kissing her on the forehead.

"Just another 41 hours Kiara and we'll let you out."  He said softly, although the glint in his eyes was one of hatred.

"Ok Draco."  

Draco turned and walked from the room, a smile of the darkest sort written on his face.


Max rested in his home, he had talked to Harry and Ginny, they both agreed that he should take off after the stone but not until he was sure he could control his anger.  Meeting Evan and wanting to gain something that belonged to his was not going to easy and if he lost his temper over it, he would never get it.

Moloch was still at his home with him; it seemed to Max that he was keeping a close eyes on him as Moloch seemed to never stop watching him

[Sabastian]

[Ginny Weasly]

huh? who are you? *thinks for a moment*Oh yeah your max! Know I remember you! *laughs* I'm joking. Nice to see you again Max

[Kiara Johnson]

"What?"  Max finally said after he had resolved to go into the world in which Evan now dwelled.

"It's about time you put your jealousy away Max.  Now go, bring back the stone so we can find Kiara, and hurry, haste I fear is your best friend just now."  Moloch answered simply, ignoring the irritation in Max's' voice.

[Kiara Johnson]

CHAPTER THREE:  A Run in With The Devil

Draco and Kiara sat, side by side in the throne room at the hidden Keep.  Kiara's emerald eyes reflected nothing of her former self, only the hatred and loathing for the world she had protected for so long.  The throne room was large with a huge sword hanging on the wall behind the Kings throne.  This sword, was known as the God Slayer, it belonged to the late Great Belgarian of Riva, Kiara's former Master.  

Had Kiara been in her right senses, she would have taken that sword down from its resting place and killed Draco on the spot.  His use of the Rivan Keep as a hide out was not the wisest decision he could have made, however, he found it to be ironic that the very place Kiara had learned to control her powers, be the same place, he owned them.

"What is this place you have found for us, Draco?"  Kiara purred, her voice only an echo of what it had used to be.

Draco smiled.

"It is of no concern, Kiara.  It is a place to hang out until you decide you are ready to take control over the world."  He responded, still not sure he should reveal the fact that this was the Rivan Keep.

Kiara looked at him as if he were nothing more than a wizard in her way.  This sent shivers down his spine, knowing that the only thing keeping her from killing him was the Soulstone presently residing in his cloak pocket.  His hand went to it as if seeking comfort in the feel of it against his fingers.

Kiara smiled a knowing smile; there was however nothing mirthful about that smile and Draco cringed within himself at what she might be thinking.

"Oh, I know what your thoughts are Draco and it brings me pleasure that you do indeed understand your position.  I only follow your instructions because you give me no other choice.  You just be sure to keep that stone close to you, for your bringing me to my old masters Keep for your own sick humor, was not the wisest choice my friend.  Although I may not be capable of what you would call love, I do respect Lord Belgarian in ways you could never possibly understand and for you to make fun of his memory, will certainly cost you your life, when I gain the stone for my self."  Kiara told him, her voice low and echoing through the air, almost as if every word she spoke, was being repeated by something else.

Then, with out waiting fro Draco to recover from his shock, Kiara stood and walked from the room, an unfortunate Death Eater entered just as she was walking out and was instantly killed in her anger by a force of power Draco had never known even her to be capable of.

Kiara made no move or even blinked, she just kept walking as the wizard passed her, he fell, no sound came from him, no warning, nothing, he just simply fell to the floor dead.

"Are you quite certain you wish to try and control that power Draco Malfoy?"  A voice entered his head.

Draco froze, several chills of fright ran down his spine, this was not something he had planned on, The Devil had been watching him, and now, he'd have to trust on his hold of the Soulstone to keep himself in control.

"You know she'll kill you in the end, New Dark Lord, perhaps we can cut a deal."  The Devils' voice cut through his mind again.

"My Lord, I can not let her away from me this time, I must prove myself to all the others..."

He was cut short by the Devils' laugh, searing through the Hall and thought, just for a moment that he could actually see the flames of Hell in his throne room.

"Your pathetic desires to prove yourself will only prove you dead.  Let me have the stone, I can do so much more with her than you, human."  The Devil spat, his anger evident in his echoing voice.

Draco shivered but his determination held true and as the Devils voice disappeared from his mind, he stood and went after Kiara.

*****
Max walked through the gate of Hades, his lip curled in disgust at he smells of the place.  

The three headed dog, Cerberus, jumped towards him but stopped, as if froze and max raised his brow, knowing that something was afoot here perhaps he was expected.

It didn't take him long to make his way down into the catacombs f hell, his mind searching for any link to Evan he could find.  He found it odd, however that none of the creatures seemed to bother him and that his advance was seemingly cleared of all obstacles.  The Devil most certainly wanted him to find what he sought, but why was the question.  For now, he'd just have to continue, this was his only course of action to regain his wife and even if it meant doing an unknown favor for the Devil, he'd just have to do it.
