Revelations-pt. 10

(A month later)1

(RAVEN’S POV)2

I was hauled out of the cage; the sound of shouting followed me.  I took one last glance at the dead creature I had just been fighting.  I saw Lucius walking my way, collecting the money that he had earned.  Once he had reached me, I grasped the back of his neck and yanked him down so his ear was next to my mouth.3

“Get me at least ten pints of blood, or yours’ is at stake.  I don’t care how you get it.  Just do.”  I snarled and released him.  He grasped my arm roughly and escorted me back to the manor.  4

The door slammed with a clang and I was shut out from the world again, I glanced at the mirror that hung on the wall.  I looked pitiful.  I was emaciated, all of my piercings had been ripped out in fights and I had a great deal of scars from it.  My skin had taken on a yellow tint from malnutrition and I could see almost every bone through my skin.  5

The sound of the arena still echoed through my head and I flopped onto the bed with a painful groan.  I’d lost track of time, I knew it was December and it was a Tuesday…but when it came to the exact date…I was lost.  There was another clang and I snapped my head toward the door.  A house elf lumbered in, dragging a cauldron of blood.  He settled it in the center of the room and placed a ladle next to it.6

“I is only bringing your blood, Miss.”  It squeaked and scampered out the room. 7

I waited until the door was closed before I seized my cup off of the nightstand and practically flew to the cauldron in the middle of the room.  I ladled in the blood until it had reached the brim and drank it hungrily.  My stomach gurgled happily at the food that it was receiving.  8

Six and a half cups later, I was sprawled out on the bed, feeling as though the waistband of my jeans were way too tight.  I yawned and closed my eyes, allowing sleep to take over.  9

I was awaken by the sharp prod of a cane at the base of my neck.  I growled and sat up, rubbing my eyes.  10

“Can I help you with something?”  I asked, blandly, scratching at the gash on my side from a fight a week before.  11

“You’ve got a roommate.”  He grunted, opening the door further and allowing a girl who couldn’t have been older than thirteen walk in. 12

“Pickin’ em up young, huh?”  I asked, raising my eyebrows at him.  “Have a seat kid.  Help yourself to the cauldron.  You can leave now Lucius.”13

My roommate immediately scurried toward the cauldron and began using the ladle as a spoon, scooping the blood up and drinking it hungrily.  Her sand colored hair spilled over her face, which had still maintained some color.  She growled as she ate, slurping loudly.  She must’ve been starved for a while.14

“If I have any trouble between you two, you’ll be punished.”  He drawled before leaving.15

I rolled my eyes.  16

The new girl lifted her head up and stared at me, “punishment?”17

I shrugged, “all he does is puts you in a dark room for a week with no food.  On the seventh day he sends in seven rats for two or three minutes for you to eat.  It’s pretty stupid.  You get used to it after awhile.  But he won’t do that to you, you’re young and he needs his money.  Just ignore him, he talks out of his ass most of the time.”  The girl nodded, “oh, I’m Raven by the way.”18

She nodded, “Neveah.”19

    This is a really good story. I really liked it. It got better as each chapter was read. I loved this. Draco, with a soft side. Another great Chapter. Too bad it wasnt a finish to the story. It was still good though. I really liked it. I just wish it did have an ending. Draco. With a soft side. I still cant get over it. Hermonie. With a secret hidden within her own cousin. And what did she mean, 'not blood realted'? Ron and Harry. Ha. Funny. Well, great story. An awesome read. I enjoyed it alot!!
