True to his word Lucius appeared within the hour. Draco got out and pulled Ravyn out after him. Lucius held a book. She assumed was a portkey. Lucius looked at his watch. “One minute” Blaise touched the book Lucius held out. Ravyn jerked away in a feeble attempt. She knew once they got her there, nobody would ever find her. It scared her to be surrounded by these dark creatures all alone. She wouldn't show it though.

Draco jerked her and her bound hands landed on his chest as she almost lost her balance and Draco held her up and steadied her with his body.  He touched her wrists and the binds were gone. He twisted her around so her back was to his chest. His mouth by her ear, she could feel his hot breath and his arms around her waist. The heat of his body radiating into her. She gave a slight shiver as his hands ran down her arms to make her hands grab the book along with his.

“No!” She jerked her hands away. Twisting and fighting him.

“Easy now precious” He purred into her hair. “Now be good.” His grip in her hands tightened. Ravyn jerked around more. Before she felt a painful jab in her neck. Draco had taken his wand to her throat. “Put your hands on the book” He led them back to the book as he spoke. His grip on her tightened as almost instantly they were sucked away. The land before her swirled and was gone in an instant.

Draco landed with the agility of a cat, still holding Ravyn to him. Lucius took the book and threw it into a fireplace that was in the lavish room. All high end, upper class taste dripped from the walls. She looked around taking it all in. It must be Lucius' living quarters. “Come Draco, I'll take you to your quarters, take her with you. She can stay with you while I go and tell him she has arrived. Blaise you'll be coming with me.” He turned to Zabini. Blaise nodded, and Lucius opened the door. It was immaculate, dark, and perfect for them. The candles and torches lighting the hallways, tons of stairs. She could see it was meant to be a maze. So even if you did get away, you would never find your way out. It was like a labyrinth.

Ravyn was drug by her arm. She knew with all the jerking Draco had done there was going to be bruises of his fingerprints for awhile. It was sickeningly perfect, the setup. She knew she would never get out of here without help. She knew how hard the Order had tried to protect her. She had let them down and been stupid. Something she tried so hard to not be. The only way out would be to join or die.  She had to fight, that's all she had left was her will to survive.

They arrived at a door and Draco entered taking her with him. Lucius watched him shut the door. She looked around and it screamed Malfoy. It was all black and green. His bed covered in cool black satin sheets and green satin draped around the four posts.  A fireplace across from it and next to it a doorway that lead to a common area or study, a large oak desk and prestigious antiques littered the room, another fireplace there as well. The other side of the fireplace there was a door to an overly large bathroom, edged with black marble.

“You must be pretty high up in the chain of bottom feeders if you get accommodations like this. Guess your daddy has taught you well.” She looked around. Draco shoved her into the couch across from the desk. He leaned back on the desk and looked at her.

“You know your mouth was always your most unattractive quality.” He smiled taking off his sunglasses.

“Especially for you I would expect” She smirked in return. His gaze snapped to hers and glowered at her. He flicked his wand towards him while still holding her gaze and she was jolted out of the chair and slammed into his chest. He smiled as he tapped her wrists and grabbed her left wrist, she sucked in a breath. The pain returned quickly. He kept her gaze as he raised her arm slowly rubbing his thumb over it. She took a deep breath and tried to hit him with her free hand but he grabbed it mid swing and held it behind her back with his free hand. Then lowered his lips to her right forearm. His eyes danced with mirth as she bit her lip her brows furrowed in pain. He kissed over the area where her mark would go. Her arm trembled in his grasp, as she gave a rigid shudder. She was strong he would give her that. His smile quirked at the edges making it more sinister as he bit the flesh of the area. She threatened to fall as she whimpered. He held her tighter against him as her arm tried to break free from its hold behind her back. The pain coursing through her veins, throbbing into her head as she fought against being weak in front of him. He held her body to his as his teeth let go and she took a deep inhale of relief. He let go of the arm he held behind her. He slipped his jacket off his shoulder and switched his grip to the other hand slipping it off the other shoulder and off. He twisted her so her back was against his chest and took her free arm again wrapping it with his free arm around her waist. He leaned his head down next to hers as he pulled up his shirt sleeve on the arm that now held her left arm. Her eyes widened as his mark appeared. It had her gaze transfixed.

“This is what you were born with, Dumbledore removed it. It never goes away though.” Draco pushed aside the hair on her neck his lips grazing the skin on her shoulder as he spoke giving her goose bumps. “It's deep in your skin still, and for you your blood.” His lips now grazing her neck as he spoke.  He saw her gaze still on his arm. He smirked as he saw her fingers twitch under his where he held her arm around her waist.

She was intoxicated with him. He was evil, dark, devious, cunning, and absolutely sexy. Still to this day he was like expensive wine, it got better with age, and more prestigious and expensive as it got older. She wanted to touch it. The mark, she was curious. She couldn't help it. She hated him, but he did have information she wanted about certain things. She knew Dumbledore under labored ways removed her mark. She knew it was deep in her skin in her blood she would forever be marked. Her feline curiosity itched to be scratched though. She wanted to know. Suddenly his arm around her waist let her arm go. Before she could question the action his words halted her.

“Go ahead” the whisper touched her ear. “I know you want too” She reached out her hand hesitantly as Draco watched transfixed. Her wanting to explore something dark on him. Something forbidden to her till now. It was seductive the way her fingers caressed the skin around it. That she wanted to know about something of his that was dark willingly. Her finger ran over it and Draco sucked in a breath. It burned. It only did that when he summoned them and touched it. Draco smirked, his eyes twinkling. No matter what Dumbledore tried, the dark power still ran in her veins.

“Does it burn when I touch it” Her voice no more then a whisper, hand tense and pulled up off from touching it.

“Yes, that only happens when he touches it or summons us. It's only proof of your parentage. His hand ran over hers turning it aligning their arms. He ran his fingers over where her mark should be. Her breath hitched.

“Why does it burn when you touch my arm? When any of you do?” She asked panting lightly.

“Because of the spells and enchantments Dumbledore used to remove your mark.” He nuzzled her hair. “He removed most of it. It is still seeded deep in your skin, in your veins. The magic now turned it into something like Potters scar, it alerts you. It's a branding you can't remove even though he tried. Watch” Draco turned his arm over and placed his mark on her forearm. She screamed and her knees buckled. Draco held her up.

“See he has turned it against you.” He held her arm to his as she cried out.

“NO!” She ripped her arm away and twisted away from him. He pulled her back quickly face to face this time. He looked at her enraged eyes then held up her arm, there was a red blotchy burn where it had touched her. He looked at it and sneered. She was panting. “You can't change your blood, precious”

A knock sounded at his door. He looked at her.

“What?”

“He wants to see her” Greybacks voice said through the door. Draco watched as the flicker of fear crossed her eyes. He pulled her along and opened the door. He pushed her ahead of him and Greyback ahead of her his wand pressed into her back and she lurched forward and began to walk. She looked at her arm as she walked along the passages. She stopped getting a hard jab in the spine from Malfoys wand.

“You better walk” He jabbed her against made her back twitch.

“Or what?” She snarled turning towards him.

“Walk or I carry you” He took a step towards her. She didn't even flinch.

“I'm not budging a step.” She folded her arms.

“Suit yourself” He quirked an eyebrow at her as he hoisted her up and threw her over his shoulder. She kicked and screamed and it only made Draco and Greyback laugh.

“You slimy snake put me down.” She pounded his back.

“You had the option to walk. You gave it up. Now shutup”
