Chapter 80 - Soulless (1/2)
When Chris woke up, he realized that he was wearing a very familiar outfit. He was wearing a black-hooded robe that all Death Eaters wore. When he realized that he wasn't in the small room that he was in before, he looked around his surroundings to see where he was.
However, before he could see the room he was in, he noticed the people around him. Next to him were 3 Death Eaters all laughing evilly and encircling two females both of whom were on the ground and shaking uncontrollably. Each Death Eater seemed to take a turn casting a spell which would cause one of the two girl on the ground to scream in pain.
When one of the girl finished screaming, there was a long silence. The three Death Eaters looked at Chris.
”It's your turn,” The Death Eater reminded him.
Seeing that there was no pain coursing through them, the two girls looked up at Chris.
Chris felt that the girls were familiar before but when he saw their faces, he finally recognized who they were.
They were Hermione and Kristine both having swollen eyes from crying. Chris also noticed knife marks on their arms indicating that they were physically tortured. When he looked closer at his robe, he noticed faint marks of liquid on it showing that it was him who tortured his two most closest friends.
Chris' eyes turned red and he screamed as he waved his wand. A shock wave emerged and the Death Eaters around him were blown back unable to get up. Chris hurriedly knelt to try to see if there were any other injuries on Hermione or Kristine but they both instinctively backed away from him due to fear.
Chris suddenly felt pain in his heart as if he was getting a heart attack. Seeing the fear in the eyes of his closest friend made him feel an unbelievable amount of guilt and regret and he started to hyperventilate. He knew that it was him who wanted to stay in the euphoric state and while he was enjoying himself, his captors were using him to torture his best friends.
”I'm sorry,” Chris said as tears started to pour down his eyes. He didn't get close to his friends as he knew that he shouldn't trigger their trauma.
As he was apologizing repeatedly to Hermione and Kristine who were both shivering with fear, a door behind Chris opened loudly and 3 people came in. The person in the front was Lucius Malfoy who seemed to be absolutely delighted. Behind him were Draco Malfoy who seemed to be disturbed by something and another Death Eater who had two bodies levitating next to him.
Lucius Malfoy noticing the three bodies that were scattered frowned. However, his frown quickly turned into an evil smile and he started to laugh.
”It seems that talent is talent. I admit it Evergreen, you are much better than my son. Scratch that, you're better than most wizards. Only the elites can defeat you, a mere student who hasn't graduated out of Hogwarts,”
Chris glared at Lucius who only laughed harder.
”You might be mad right now Evergreen but I wonder what your reaction will be when you see this?”
