Lyra's POV:

It was the day of the Ball. We've got three hours before the ball and we're all about to leave to go to our Manors to get ready.

"Well, guess I'll see you guys in a couple hours." I said

We all bid our farewells and apparated.

I reached my house. It was a beautiful grand mansion, but it was never a home. Death eaters swarming the place was a regular. I lost my mom when i was nine. My dad spent his days obeying the dark lord, torturing innocent souls and getting drunk.

Nightshade Manor

I took in a breath, "here we go." I muttered.
I walked in slowly, the silence was frightening. It was dark and empty. I felt someone run and hug my legs. I knew exactly who it was.

"Hi Lucia, How are you sunshine?"

"Lyra! Lyra you're home"

"I sure am" I said and knelt down to hug her.

"Ahh, miss Nightshade, you're home"

"How have you been Lucinda?" I hugged her.

Lucia was my little sister. She had father's curly blonde hair and mothers green eyes like me.
Lucinda was her nanny and the woman who kept her safe while I was away and looked after the house.

Lucia Nightshade


"You're here, all you're necessities are in your room. I'll help you get ready" said Lucinda with a smile. She was the only mother figure I had after my mum passed away.

"Thank you" I said and looked at Lucia who was tugging my skirt,

"Lyra, are you gonna stay?" She asked innocently.

My sister was an angel. The only thing that stopped me from never returning. She was a pure soul and I planned on keeping it that way. I'd give anything for her. I try my best to provide her with a perfect childhood, a childhood I never had.

"Yes I am, I'll be staying for the whole weekend." I said "yay, can you play with me?"

"Maybe later sunshine, I'm a bit busy now."
She frowned, "okay" she said barely above a whisper.

"Well, well, you're home."

I turned to see my brother coming down the stairs with a straight face.

My brother and I use to be inseparable. He used to be a loving big brother I looked up to. Some one who'd do anything for my safety and wellbeing. That all changed after he got the dark mark. He grew distant. He slowly turned cold and cut us all of eventually. He's dead to me now. Just a death eater who follows my father blindly and has done unspeakable sins.

"Lycan, long time no see." I said emotionless.

"Indeed, how have you been sister?" Said inching closer to me still with an expressionless face.
"I've been well, don't act like you care."

"Still have the attitude I see."

"Still a blind heartless follower I see"

"Well you haven't changed one bit"

"Neither have you, can't say I'm surprised"

"Well, I'll leave you to it" he said and walked past me.

"Well, how about you head to your room" said Lucinda with another one of her contagious smiles. I nodded, kissed Lucia's forehead, and headed to my room.

Every thing was untouched, just how I had left it

Every thing was untouched, just how I had left it. I took a shower and got put on a robe and Lucinda came in to help me get ready.

Well, this should take a while.
