"There's nothing." she sold, solitarily, walking off back down the main staircase, knwoing exactly where to find him.

He knew it was her the moment she opened his door. "I could've told you they wouldn't be able to help you much." he said quietly, concentrating on the pipe in his mouth. "What do you want?" he asked, casually, as if their earlier contact hadn't happened at all. "Finally come to your senses have you?" he asked, after receiving no response.

Feeling about as low as she could possibly get, she stumbled through the door, her side killing. Her eyes only geared upward as she saw him move toward her and place a now gentle hand where the cuts on her neck lay.

"Stay with me and I wont hurt you. Fight me and I will." he said, tensing his hand on her neck, but causing her no pain. Sliding an arm around her, her ifted her chin with a finger and brushed her lips gently.

Marce felt numb, she could do nothing but stand there. She felt so used, so betrayed, so unclean.

Snape heard the lock to his cell door click so, he rose up and stood before the door, sneering at the men who had entered. He cut off his mind from Marcella; he didn't know what was going to happen, but whatever it was, he didn't want to burden her with it when she clearly had enough problems of her own.

When Marce emerged from the room, later, it was early morning and people were scurrying around the house. She managed to sneak through them, un-noticed and sat alone in the living room, her face screwed up in a mix of concentration and deep thought.

Not used to being in the middle of a crowd, and tired of all the commotion out in the kitchen, Kristi decided to sneak away. She found herself in the liviing room, looking at a very pensive Marcella. Not sure if she should stay and talk or just give Marcella her space, Kristi compromised and noisily flopped down onto the couch.

"What am I supposed to do about Darrin, Krist?" she asked, desparation in her eyes. "I'm sure he can see everything he's done to me and I know it'll be killing him and knowing that kills me further."

Kristi looked over at Marcella. "What do you mean? What did he do to you?" Kristi asked. She had the distinct feeling that Marcella hadn't told her everything that had happened with Darrin. "I mean, aside from the marks you've already shown me."

Archie at the breakfast table ,quietly thinking whilst everyone rushed around ,the weasleys, Lupin ,moody ,tonks and shacklebolt. Yet he sat there silently and thought about marcella and Darrin.

Lifting a hand to the girl's mouth, she shook her head and choked in between tears, "Dont, I dont want Archie finding out. He'd kill him."

Kristi took Marcella's hand away from her mouth. "I won't say anything. Just tell me what really happened in that room, Marcella."

She blinked and her eyes lingered just behind Kristi, to where Darrin was walking past. Rceiving a warning glance from him, she sighed and whispered, "It's nothing I cant handle."

Kristi turned to look where Marcella's gaze had rested just a moment ago. She squinted to see Darrin's back as he walked away from them. Turning back to Marcella she said, "I wont' push you to tell me, but... If you get into trouble, you know where I'll be."

She nodded her head slowly and left the room, pulling her collar up so that it covered her neck. Watching the ground as she moved, she stepped into the kitchen and slumped down on the bench beside Archie.

ooc: Argh! You people are so fast with the rp...What's going on (I am to lazy to read) Here is some info about Andriel:

Andriel Tarja Mortlock (Tarja was added after she became a vampire)
She is daughter of dark wizards and her family have a very good contact with the Malfoys.
Andriel is a very loyal person and everybody trust her. She was very popular among the slytherins until she became friend with MArcella. Andriel is always happy and smiles, but the last few moths have been a hard time for her. She loves to do crazy things and she is extremely smart. There is something mysterious with her that attract people.

Andriel became best friend with MArcella and Marce is her only best friend. She was a death-eater once, but everybody knows what happend soon. On her birthday at the midnight Andriel became a vampire. To be a vampire is new for her and she need blood. She thinks that this is disgusting, but she has to drink blood to survive. Nobody knows that she is a vampire except MArcella, Archie, Kristi and Snape. Beeing a vampire put her in many troubles, but there is also a ggod side of it. Beeing a vampire made her also extremely poweful, but there is still a lot of thing that she hasn't explored by herself. She can hear what people are thinking and speak to them by her mind. She can also do alot of other things, but you will see soon...

As Archie was inresponsive, she started to scribble something down on a piece of paper and slid the parchment along the table, so it was in his sight. "Are we still friends?" it read.

*Suddenly the door went up and from the dark Marcella and Archie could see a shadow. It was a person, a girl, then suddenly the saw Andriel. Andriel had returned from her long sleep and she wanted to see all her friends. She ran over to Marcella and hugged her*

I am so glad to see you!

She could only manage a half smile as she looked anxiously toward Archie and the ignored piece of paper that she had handed him. Deciding she needed to talk to him, she said to Andriel, "Why dont you go say Hi to Kristi, she's here too."

"marella i want you to know that no matter what i will always be there for you ,i want to know if Darrin has been mistreeting you ,i wont hurt him but we need to inform dumbledore ,dumbledore wont tell darrin if i don't want him to"Archie said comfortingly.

"He hasn't done anything bad to me..." she replied, folding the parchment up in her hands and slipping it into her cloak pocket. "Not yet at least.." she sighed, knowing he had hurt her but it had caused no lasting damage, she gave Archie a half smile.

"don't be scared to say if he has hit you ,cos i promise with my hand on my heart that if i attack him i won't use my wand" Archie said looking directly in to her eyes

Marce shot him a look that said, that even if he had, she wasn't about to tell him. "I can fight my own battles Arch." she said, staring whistfully out of the window, hating herself further forpushing him away when all he wished to do was to help her through this difficult period.

"did i say that ,but if you are getting beaten up and i'm not saying you are but if you are you're hardly winning a battle are you?"Archie said with raised eyebrows. "don't push me away marce i want to help you it's about all i'm good enough for nowadays with a 5000 galleon price on my head"

"Are you trying to say I'm incapable of looking after myself?" she asked, her voice and temper rising. She knew what she were doing and she knew she'd regret it, but something inside her was suffocating her, preventing her from saying a word about what Darrin may or may not have done to her.

Kristi walked into the kitchen when she heard the raised voices. Marcella and Archie were arguing about something or other. Kristi sat down next to Marcella. "You okay?" she asked, giving a significant glare at Archie.

"What is it with you people??!" she screamed, "Apart from having my heart torn from my chest and shoved back down my throat I am absolutely fine, so why wont you just leave me be! I can cope!!" she screamed, storming past Kristi and locking herself in the toilet, her head in her hands in despair. Frustrated tears trickling down her saddened face, she cried and closed her eyes, imaginging her to be in Azkaban with him. She may aswell be, the jail she were in now were no better and at least there she'd have the company of someone who truly loved her.

Kristi watched as Marcella stormed off and sighed. She just had to find a way to get Snape back here. Something was terribly wrong with Marcella, and Kristi knew it wasn't just the fact that her lover was now locked up where she couldn't reach him. Kristi just didn't know what it was... But she was determined to find out. Kristi got up and walked up the stairs and knocked on the door to the room that Darrin was using.
