The cottage

Shadow walked slowly through the forest her hips and back ached she longed for her cozy cottage.
Shadow had been walking for hours when finlay deep in the forest she came upon her cozy cottage.
She pulled her key out slowly and unlocked the cottage opening the window litting the candles and the fire and sat down slowly

There was someone out in the forest, through the trees, they had followed the lights from the windows of the cottage.

Barty peered through the windows, looking in to see if there was anyone inside. He was wearing his long leather cloak. He had just broken out of Azkaban a few weeks ago, along with Fenrir, with the help of Bellatrix.

He sneered before going around the back to get in, even a death eater like himself needed to get out of the cold.

Shadow was in her bandages cleaning her wounds again she covered up and shivered looking around cloisng the back widnow slowly.
she placed her wand on the side and sat down in her comfy chair.

The floorboards creaked under Barty as he made is way around the back room. He kept his wand out and was listening carefully. He stopped by the door and looked down, seeing a light coming from under the door, from the next room. He could also hear slight movement. He licked his lips before swinging the door open and pointing the wand at her ".. move and I will kill you" he warned

Shadow froze in her chair the cut across her nose had healed from fenrir.
"who...Barty Crouch Jnr?"
she looked at him again. "you were in slytherin werent you? i heard stroys about you good ones too"

"..what are you blabbering about you filthy halfbreed." he spat at her and stepped closer, pointing the wand between her eyes. "I am not going to share... my past life.. with the likes of something like you! not get off the couch and find some water and food..now!" he snapped, the tip of his wand glowing green

She made her way through the forest until she saw a dim light coming from a small house. She walked up the steps...but then froze. She had a horrible familiar feeling hit her. Only one person in the world, she could sense and that was Barty.

It had been so long, her feeling were mixed. She wished more than anything it could be happy, but new her long lost love died when he joined the death eaters. Gone to her forever.

She eased up behind Barty quietly poking her wand into his back.

"If it isn't my old mate. Long time no see Barty", she said keeping the wand to his ribs until she knew how he was going to react to her.

"Friend or foe tonight my old friend?"

"I am not friends with blood traitors.." he hissed at her, his tongue flickering slightly. He slowly turned around and looked down at her, his face was pale and slip his eyes were shunken and shadowed. "Get you wand off me." he said batting it away. He took his from Shadow and then pointed it at Pandora. A sinister smirk soon played on his cold lips "IMPERIO!"

It happened so quickly she could not protect herself in time from the curse.

Suddenly her eyes glarred over...as if empty inside...nothing was there, she stood there just looking at him.

"I want you to get all the information you can concerning the Order and Ministry, I need to know what is happening, how they are trying to ruin our plans and work, and not to tell them I am back.. clear?" he asked walking up to her, cupping her jaw in his long boney fingers.

"Yes Master. Get all the information on the Order and the Ministry and tell no one you are back", she repeated to him.

"Good." he said letting her come around from the curse. "What are you looking at!" he sneered " get out my way you blood traitor!" he shouted before pointing the wand back at Shadow "Or I will kill the halfbreed!"

"Yes master..Should I go now then", she asked waiting for her orders. She saw the girl in the chair and made no motion to help her.

He sighed and rolled his eyes at the witch before leaving to te kitchen and getting some surplies before disapparating away in a cloud of black smoke, back to his master

She then came to herself once Barty was gone.

"Hello shadow, she said unaware of anything ever happening. "I came to check on you. Are you alright?"

Shadow growled at her slightly having watched what happened "Pandora you under the impero curse we need to snap you out of it otherwise i cant be my self....i cant let the order down not after all your hard work to keep us all safe."

"Don't be silly..how would i be under the imperious", she asked slightly amused that Shadow thought so.

"I haven't even had any run in with any death eaters lately."

Shadow growled still "thats why my house recks of barty crouch jnrs scent"
she snorted in discugst.
"You have meaning you cant go to the minsitry or to the order till we break that spell"

"Pandora sunk down in a chair shocked this had happened and she wasn't even aware of it.

"Shadow...you have to break it. I can't betray my friends", she said sadly. "I could lose everything..everything dear to me."

"Do you know how to break it? For some reason the spell had eluded me."

Shadow looked at her and stoodup slowly.
summoning her old school chest.She knelt and rumaged thorough her books.
"i think i can"

Pandora sat feeling confussed and angry with herself, that she let Barty do this to her. But she had no memory of it. She would kill him once the curse was lifted ..how dare he think he could beat her.

"How did this happen..how did he get the better of me? I just don't understand how I let this happen. I thought I was carefull."

He was alreadly here....ah found it" she stuck a book above her head a thick book on dark magic.
She sat up and scanned through the book

"Well, lets get rid of this unforgivable curse. I can't lose Hunter because of this", she said pacing the floor, scarred.

"I'm ready..lets do it", she said coming to sit close to Shadow looking to the book she was holding.

Shadow looked up at her "stop pacing and sit"
she smiled softly when she sat down infront of her "thank you and this will work out fine okay i promise"

Okay..but can we hurry, before I destroy the Order and myself. I couldn't bare it of I lost Hunter and you all. Ohh Shadow..I'm so glad you where here and saw what he did. I owe you so much."

She sat wringing her hands beside of shaodw in a nervous gesture. "I have to tell you somehting. I'm also with child. This can't be any worse timming of something so horrible...so please..lets do the spell and remove this now. I can't bare to think I'm under barty's control for another second", she pleaded.
