Innocence

Chapter 34

CAMILLA'S POV

"Well this was fun!" Diana said cheerily as we walked back to Snape's house. "Yeah, and these peaches are going to be delicious in a pie." I said. "I think Severus would like that." she said. We had just gone to a market down the street and gotten fresh fruit and vegetables. We spent the day out and I had so much fun. We got to the house and went inside. "Severus! We're back!" Diana called out. It was eerily quiet. Then we heard voices. I walked in the dining room and the room was cold. Then I saw why. Snape stood there with a blank look on his face and Nathan looked smug. I looked at my father and the death eaters standing behind him. "Father?" I said. Snape looked at Diana and she walked upstairs quickly. "What are you-" I started. "Ah," he said, cutting me off. I went quiet. He walked toward me and grabbed my arm. He ripped up my sleeve and revealed my dark mark. "Just as I thought." he said plainly. "What?" I asked hesitantly. "Well, I wanted to be sure that your dark mark was still there. It disappearing from your arm seemed to be the only logical reason for you thinking you don't have to be loyal to me." he said. Nathan. I looked at him and he smiled smugly. I didn't look at Snape. He couldn't help me. I wasn't going to make him endanger his life to save mine. Not after what I did and after all he's done for me. "Seeing as you are still marked, why is it you believe you are exempt from the responsibilities and rules of being a death eater." he asked. I stared at him. "You forced this onto me. I never wanted it. You had one perfect son who did. Why wasn't that enough?" I asked. "Because both my children should be loyal to me." he said. "Did you really think I would? I will never help ever again. You killed Cedric, you tried to kill Harry. I'm done." I said sharply. He pointed his wand at me and I backed up into a wall. "Are you? Are you done?" he asked. He seemed amused. I'm glad he thinks this is so funny. "Yes." I said. His wand dug into the flesh on my neck. "You will obey me. I am not just your father. I am your Lord." he said. "You were never my father." I said. He chuckled. "Pathetic little girl. You can never outrun your legacy." he said. "I can try." I said. "My Lor, if I may, she-" Professor Snape started. My father looked at him quickly. "You may not Severus. You should have asked for orders when it was decided my children would stay with you. But you didn't." he said. Snape started to talk again but I shook my head at him. He stopped and looked down. "Nathan said you have been convinced by Dumbledore that you are safe from me. I want you to know... you are never safe from me." he said. I closed my eyes and he spoke. "Crucio" he yelled. The light flashed and the spell hit me. I screamed as my body hit the floor, I thrashed and shook. It felt like white hot knives and I couldn't stop screaming. I haven't felt this in so long, it overwhelmed me. Then it broke. "Nathan also told me he hasn't been able to punish you, those were your rules correct Severus?" he asked. "My Lord" he began. "Yes or No, Severus." he said sharply. Snape nodded. "Let's see how out of practice you are Nathan." he said. Nathan stepped forward to my shaking figure. "Please Nathan," I said weakly. "Crucio." he spoke. Another light flashed and the pain took over again. It wasn't as strong as fathers but I still screamed. I felt tears streaming down my cheeks and beads of sweat forming. Then the spell broke. I coughed as I gasped for air. My father drew his wand again and pointed it at me. "No more please" I cried. He smiled cruelly. "Very well. Severus, Nathan, we have matters to discuss. Carrow, Dolohov, Avery, please take Camilla out of here and well... teach her a lesson." he said. Nathan chuckled. "Told you so." he said. My eyes widened as two of them grabbed my arms. "No!" I screamed, fighting in their grip. "No! Please let me go! NO!" I screamed. Snape stared at me and I could see the sadness in his eyes. They dragged me through the house and I kicked and fought and thrashed. I screamed until they dragged me into the living room. "Please don't do this'' I screamed as one held one wrists above my head. I kept kicking and my foot made contact with Dolohov's side. His eyes went dark. "You bitch" he yelled and his fist punched me across the face. I cried out in pain. "Don't make this harder than it has to be." he said. I kept struggling. When they ripped open my shirt, I heard the buttons on my shirt hit the floor as they were torn off. I squeezed my eyes shut as one pulled off my jeans and the other palmed my breasts. I kept crying and I could feel the tears staining my cheeks. "Stop it, please just stop." I cried. The first one thrusted inside me and I screamed. I could feel the pain in my stomach as he slammed into me. They all took their turns. By the time they finished, I was broken on the floor. They walked out and shut the door and I couldn't move. The pain in my legs and stomach was horrible. My body was covered in their hickeys and bite marks. I could feel a bruise forming on my right cheekbone. I pulled up my underwear and tried to move but the pain kept me frozen. Nathan was right. He proved it. I was never free and I was never safe. I felt tears fall down my cheeks and I just wiped them away. I wanted to fall asleep and never wake up. The only person who would miss me was Draco and maybe he was better without me. What's to say he doesn't end up like Cedric. Dead for being involved with me. I will never be happy. So I just closed my eyes and waited and eventually everything went dark.
