The Coldest Day Ever

[Maddiie Holland]

That morning Maddiie couldn't stirr awake from her sleep, which was very unusual on the count she had spent nearly half the night near the bathroom. She didn't know what was wrong with her, as if some kind of virus had nearly emptied her stomach, she was sick. With what? She could not tell. A fear was bestowed on her when she thought of her curse, but she had remember taking her potion not to long ago. If she were sick or infected with anything it had to be muggel related, but with what? After debating if she should get up or not, in the end she knew she had to wake up sooner or later. For one she had many errands to today. Maddiie also wanted to visit Alex at his home, she didn't like the fact they were living separate but it was only temporary. Maddiie didn't want her father knowing what she had already done before marriage, he would kill her if he found out. Not really but her father was so old fashion, she rolled her eyes just thinking about it.

"Oh well." she mumbled as she stood up, her sock covered feet pressing against the cold tempered wooden floor. Maddiie was just happy she wasn't living at home anymore, not that she didn't like her father cottage, Cyrus Trillion was just a lot better. Now it was getting a job she needed to do so she could keep it warm for harsh winter days like today. Even in her own little flat, she could still feel the cold air slipping through the cracks between the windows sill. Maddiie shivered within her sweater, it was cold today really cold. Now it was time to get ready.

It only took her a full hour to get ready, first she had to shower. Than apply her make up lightly as she debated on what to wear, after choosing one leggings, denim jeans and about three shirts, with knee high socks covering her leggings, there was lug boots left to put on, and set her hair into a twisted pony tail she was done. Her first destination would be the post office. She was fixed on going there the longest, maybe talk to anyone that may give her a chance at a job. It wasn't a career choice, just something temporary, to at least pay her bills. As she stepped out of her home with a pea coat, hat and scarf concealing her greatly, she was ready for her busy day. The Harbour was the next town over, today Maddiie decided to walk. Slipping down the stoop of her home, she stride not in a hurry so casually. Even if she wanted to apparate,which would have been a lot faster, her stomach wouldn't appreciate it, so a broom was out of the question. She had to travel the muggel way, only once would she apparate and that was to see Alex. For the rest of the way she would have to travel the old fashion muggel way, least its healthy, she thought to herself. Maddiie took that back when she felt the air whip lash against her umbre complexion, her cheeks became rosy, her eyes bit watery. It truly was the coldest day ever, Maddiie thought of even turning back. No she couldn't, it will pass eventually, or so she thought.

 

[Valencia Barselona]

A muffled pop was the only warning the young girl would have had to announce the strangers arrival. The street was empty, save for the two of them. There was no one to shout warning to the girl in the peacoat as a woman approached her from behind. Valencia was clothed in a long leather coat, the hood of wich proved deep enough to hide her features back in shadow. Nothing showed save a cruel cold glint in her eye. With eerily graceful movements she followed behind the younger girl, getting ever closer with each silent step she took. Reaching one slender hand forward she forcefully grabbed the girls arm, halting any further movement she may have thought of taking. With a slightly crazed giggle Valencia reached out one gloved hand to stroke the younger womans cheeck, whispering as she did. "Such a pretty young thing. It really is a shame what we have to do to you dear."before her giggling continued.

 

[Link Black]

Link appeared at Val side his face, conceal under a rouge mantel as the cold weather shift towards the left side of his torso. Always to Val to take the lead, he muttered a curse on his breath as he flew down the streets his stride so fluently now, there was no way the girl would have heard them approaching. "Now Val wouldn't we like to treat our friend here a little fair...", unlike Val, his expression was stiff and before she could even let out a scream Link curse her very lips, "We don't want her to make such commotion. But as long as she could still feel and hear..." he looked back at Val. "Not here of course." Link wasn't going to be careless with this act, he looked back at the girl, very pretty indeed. Link grey eyes linger from each detail of her proclean doll features, this face was very familiar. "I know this one, met her once." he whispers low as ever, his lips never lifted to charm her with his devious smile. It took much focus not to do the job here, his reckless action would probably have went unnoticed, but with this one he wanted take cautious steps. Link had plans that no one knew about, not even Leah, he needed his trail to be left unnoticed if he wanted to go forwards his deeds.

Maddiie was to deep in her thoughts, thinking of the busy day ahead when she felt herself being jolted by the arm to step any further from walking forward. Its as if something told her not to look back and just run, but she couldn't the womans gripped around her wrist was tight, and she was unable to move. Seconds later the woman had a companion at her side. Those eyes, Maddiie stared struggling as she shouted, "Let me go! Let me go!" they look so familiar the boy appearing to be around her age, what the hell?? She was about to scream for her dear life, when a hex was put upon her, Maddiie couldn't scream, for dear god she couldn't scream!! She couldn't even move anymore, but she could still feel and hear. And those words coming out both their mouths brought shock to her eyes, was she being punk'd she first thought. But as they kept starring at her with no intention of playing as joke, Maddiie realise her worst fear, her worst fear in life were becoming reality.

Valencia hissed, eyes shooting daggers at Link from underneath her hood. Had they not been in front of a target she would have slapped him. Leaning close to Links ear she spoke in a low voice so that she still maintained her grip on the girl but kept her from hearing them speak. "You better pray to God she didn't hear you speak my name little boy, or I swear I'm dragging you down with me. Don't think I'll hesitate to give them your name if your foolish mistakes get me locked away." Just as quickly she moved away, shooting a venomously sweet smile at Link before replying at a normal volume "Of course dear. Would you care to lead us to some place more private." Her voice dripped with sarcassm as she said the words, hinting at some slight joke. Turning to look at the younger girl her eyes changed, though no one would say thier expression softened. Val would have felt sorry for this girl if she were able to really feel at the moment. Unfortunately for Maddie, she wasn't. Despite this she leaned forward, smoothing a gentle hand as she whispered into the girls ear, "Hush now pet. It will all be over soon" before leading her after Link.

After Val had pinpointed out Link sloppy mistakes, he merely shrugged reckless at times as he could be, he wasn't so much worried. "You don't have to worry about anything, just go to what was planned. The sooner the better, be done with this tragedy " he shot back, his eyes stinging right back into her piercing iris. Link nodded when Val gain back her scarasim, sweet talk composer. Its a reason why he had found some sort of attraction to Val, she knew went to play nice and dirty. Turning on his heel, Link sauntered forward, while Val dragged the pathetic girl to her own personal hell. Link thought of bringing her towards Luxen neck of the woods, but even he didn't want to cross that line. Disturbing darkness, and causing darkness was two different scenario, besides his last visit was enough to stay away for a while. Link corner a alley way, till they. Finally reached the run down house, that he often operated his sick pleasure in. "Here.." he pushed open the gates, as they follow right behind him. Within matter of seconds, it will be all over with, being corrupted never really had in excuse he thought with a hint of a smirk.

Val followed Link into the draby house, her face now void of any emotion. Pulling the younger woman close so that her back was to Val's chest she leaned forward slightly, whispering so lowly she was unsure the girl could even hear her, "I really am sorry it has to be this way" before throwing the her forward with a strength one would hardly believe such a small figure could posses. Nothing in her features showed that she even noticed the younger girl hitting the ground hard. A smile slowly crawled across her face, molding her once beautiful features into something cold and deadly. Her eyes glinted, the gleam within could be describe as nothing more or less then wicked. With a cool voice that would be soothing in any situation but this she spoke to the man in front of her, "Now love, would you like to do the honors or shall I?"

Link watched as Val ruthlessly trash the girl to the ground. By the sound of it something must've of slashed or ended up wounded because there was trace of blood already trailing along the wooden floor. "Can you leave anymore evidences behind?" he spatted sarcastically taking out his wand. The dwellings was dark and held no sign of life except for the dim orbit light above them. Link held the wand close to the girl face, crouching down as he trace them tip down her right temple. The girl was shaking now, unable to scream or stand and not even a chance to attempt to get away. Her only choice was to lay there, parying for worst to come to be over with. Link said in a demented cold whispers as if he were speaking in tongue but only motion the word crucio, his wand letting out a blasted spark hitting right in the temble as she spiral along the floors. Link smirked as he continue to torture the helpless little witch, his words more demanding now till the torture lasted almost a half hour....

Link stood up now brushing his hands together. "Leave her here to die. Cast a memory charm just in case." his cold stare fell back on Val, she knew what she wanted but Link wasn't giving to her. "She won't remember if she lives. If she does ever remember you know what to do" he smirked. "Remember Val it she was just our little play toy." he grinned, his mind racing while he stood up fully brushing himself of 'such hard work'. "Besides wouldn't be fun to kill such a easy kill. Now would it?" he question knowing him and Val were the same. "Memory Charm. Than were out." he turned around and waited for her at the exit.
