âSo, your telling me that I have to go live with you? In Monaco? Away from my friends?â Was all the questioning and arguing Inez could do. She was still only 17 and Lando was her godfather meaning she had no choice but to go with him.
With 2 hours of flight time, Inez sat in first class with Lando as the plane flies to the warm Monaco.
Inez kept her eyes out of the window as thoughts swarmed her mind.
How is it gonna go?
Will I lose my friends in England?
Will I be able to get any friends in Monaco?
âWeâre almost thereâ Inez turns her head to face Lando.
With only a few minutes later the plane lands. Inez and Lando exit the plane and into the airport. Paparazzi flash their cameras, Lando put a jacket over Inezâs head so the cameras couldnât catch her face.
They go quickly out of the airport to a car that drives them away.
Only an hour later, they arrive at Landoâs luxury apartment. Inez look around the room she was going to be staying in.
In a cold and lonely house, Inez sat with the man. The man who was her godfather.
He with his curly brown hair and many titles under his name. But not just any titlesâŠ..
Her godfather was Lando Norris. The famous Formula 1 McLaren driver.
âWhat are you doing here, Lan?â Inez was pacing around wondering why her godfather was in England instead of Monaco where he lives. âDon't you have a race this weekend?â
âI took some time off to be here with you, little blossomâ Inez went to Lando and hugged him. âI really missed you, Lanâ
Lando kept his promise and stayed with Inez and in doing so missed 2 of his races. But he didnât care because his goddaughter was more important to him.
Inez had gotten better, she wasnât as closed off anymore and went out and hung out with her friends.Â
Currently, Inez is in her house with her best friends, Blair, Eloise, and Kiara. They are having a girls' night which consists of a marathon of cringe rom-coms, endless of unimportant gossip, and tons of boxes of pizza(not really tons, maybe only 3 ;) ).
For once in almost 3 months, Inez felt happy and unbothered. She was with the people she cared about the most in the whole world.
âSo, Inez, how come you've never told us that you're related to THE Lando Norris?âÂ
âNo need to confront her right now, Eloâ
âWeâre not related, heâs just my godfatherâ
''Hey, little one, why don't you come with me?'' an older man offered his hand to a little girl who was slightly petrified by him but still took his hand.
The man pulled the little girl to one of the cars in her family's driveway.
''The lights'' the little girl whispered. The man looked at her, she had stars in her eyes watching the lights from the cars flicker from red to blue.
''Agent Rossi, the girl needs to be taken to the hospital to get checked out'' a person in a fancy suit said to the man. He looked down at the girl who looked back at him. He looked back up at the person and led the girl to an ambulance.
The man was gonna leave, but, the girl did not let go of his arm.
''Please, stay'' the little girl whimpered. The man went with her to the hospital.
The entire ride to the hospital, the girl clings to the man, who let her play with his watch.
When they got to the hospital, the man followed the nurses as they led the girl and himself to a bed.
A doctor came and did a bunch of tests and told them to wait for some time.
While waiting, the man sat with the little girl, keeping her occupied with her soft deer toy.
The doctor came back after a while and told the man that the girl was fine, she was just a little shaken. Social services were there to take the little girl away.
âWhatâs your name?â the little girl asked the man. âMy name is David Rossi, whatâs yours?â
âAsher Yung'' the little girl said smiling widely at Rossi. He smiled back at her.
''David, how have you been?'' a social worker asked him that just continued to hold Asher.
''I've been wonderful, look, I wanna ask for a favor?'' Rossi asked the worker that just gave him a confused look. ''Alright, what is it about?''
''Maybe you can pull a few strings to let me take care of Asher'' he said and the worker nodded. ''I think I might be able to do that''
A 2 months later, Asher stayed with Rossi in his huge house. She had gotten an entire room to herself. The room was huge and had all of her favorite things in it.
''Asher, can you come downstairs?'' Rossi shouted for the girl. ''Okay''
Asher ran down the stairs to be met by Rossi in the living room. She ran up to him and he grabbed her to hug her.
''I have a surprise for you'' he held Asher as he began to walk into his office. ''What is it?'' Asher said giving Rossi a toothy grin.
''Why don't you open that box and find out'' Rossi let Asher down and she immediately went to the box.
Asher jumped back when she saw that the box was moving. The box tipped over and something fell out.
It was a puppy. More specifically it was an English mastiff.
''Is it for me?'' Asher asked Rossi that nodded in response. She went forward to touch the puppy that brought its nose up to her hand, wondering if it liked Asher or not.
The puppy decided that it liked Asher and licked her hand. Asher sat down and the puppy went to sit in Asher's lap.
''What do you want to name him?'' Rossi asked. ''Ares''
''A wonderful name for such a brave dog'' Rossi said.
17 years later....
Asher and Spencer walked into a lecture hall where Gideon was giving a presentation on one of his old cases.
The class looked at them when they opened the door, as well as Gideon. Spencer pointed at the folder he was holding and Gideon nodded.
He excused himself from the lesson and followed Asher and Spencer out of the hall.
Spencer and Asher were bringing Gideon up speed. ''They're calling him the Seattle Strangler''
Inez felt heavy. Heavy in her steps and her heart.Â
She is sitting in the front row of the Church benches. Sheâs all alone at the front. Keeping her eyes down, she can hear only sniffles and quiet talking.Â
âThatâs herâ
âShe was with them in that crashâ
âWonder how she survived and not themâ
Inez couldn't look up. Couldnât look at the caskets. Because that would only mean that they were gone and this wasn't just a fucked up dream she was having. 2 months ago, Inez and her parents were in their car as they were on their way home from a theater.Â
2 months ago
âCome on, dad enjoyed it more than meâ Inez giggled as she sat in the backseat of the car as her dad drove.
âSorry, honey, two against oneâ her mom chuckled as the mother and daughter teamed up against the car driver. âEyes on the road, honeyâ
Her dad had been looking at his lovingly, this was a sight Inez loved to see, her parents being so in love even after so many years of being together.
It had been just a second, Inez was laughing with her parents, and then all of a sudden it all went white. All Inez could feel was sharp tugging at her and lost her breath multiple times from thudding around.Â
There were birds, woodpeckers, just pecking away at the trees a few meters awayâŠ..
A running waterfall, splashing against the rocksâŠ..
Inez opened her eyes and all she could see was a blur. The outlines of trees and them moving in the wind. Turning her head slightly she could see the outline of someoneâs body halfway through the windshield. Another body was seen hanging in a tree.
She furiously blinked her eyes to get her sight back. But once she did she regretted it all.
Back to the present time
The funeral went on for another hour until Inez looked up and saw that she was alone.
She let the tears fall, flowing like the waterfall and a sharp pain in her heart like woodpeckers pecking at her.
Inez stood up and was about to leave the Church when she saw someone further down the aisle. He was dressed in a full black suit. Inez could recognize him from anywhere.
She ran up to him and clung to him like a little child. The man took her into his embrace.
âTheyâre goneâ Inez sobbed into the manâs chest. âI know, little blossomâ
''Take it off!'' James could hear voices that were either yelling or crying for help.
He had been taken during one of his missions for the order. It was just supposed to be an easy mission. He and Sirius were supposed to watch some people that were supposedly death eaters, but it was a trap. Sirius got hurt and James got taken captive.
James had a bag over his head, but it got yanked off. He looked around and saw a bunch of people who used to go to school with him. He saw Lucius Malfoy, Barty Crouch Jr, Evan Rosier, and Regulus Black.
''Well, it looks like the golden boy is awake'' Barty taunted. James tried to look around but the light was too bright.
''What do you want from me?'' James asked trying to keep his voice straight, but his voice failed him.
''Oh, we want nothing, our lord wants to speak with you'' Lucius said as a grin had been placed on his face.
The group in front of him began leaving the room he was in except one. Regulus went to James and bent down to the level of his face.
''I'm sorry this happened, sweetheart. But, one day you will understand our ways and why we do all of this'' Regulus kissed James's cheek and then left the room.
After about an hour, a man went into the room, he had dark black hair and beautiful red eyes.
''Mister Potter, we meet at last'' the man said with a dark and deep voice. James was completely mesmerized by the man.
''Who are you?'' James asked. The man put a chair in front of James and took a seat.
''I am Lord Voldemort'' James winced at the name and felt himself pull back.
''I know you have heard things about me from Dumbledore, but they are wrong, let me show you what we do here and decide for yourself'' Voldemort went behind James and untied his hands. ''Come and join me'' he brought his hand forward for James to take it.
James gently took his hand. He did not want to follow Voldemort, but if he had a chance of escaping it is this way.
Voldemort led James outside the room and showed him the different places they have everywhere.
''These rooms are mostly used for healing and after full moons for the werewolves. Here we have a few other kinds of rooms'' he showed James different rooms, the last rooms he showed had children in them.
''We saved these children when the ministry no longer cared for them or cared for their homes''
After 30 minutes of walking around and Voldemort telling James about the things they have and the things, they want gone and changed.
James was given a room. It had a king-sized bed and the whole room had a dark vibe to it.
He got clothes to change into. James changed and got into bed as it was nighttime.
As his head hit the pillow the door opened and closed. There were footsteps going towards him. He felt the bed weight down beside him.
James turned around to find Regulus laying beside him sleeping. He took Regulus in his arms.
