The Grounds

I watch in slight awe at what he does
"Wow..." but then I look down
"But I don't use it very much..." I close my fist and my flames go away "I mean...I hurt people as a kid...I burned a whole neighborhood."

Ohhhhoho unstable power, my favorite kind! Let's see just what I can do to wield that...

"I can sympathize with your plight, I too suffered for my powers... at the hands of people who couldn't understand them."

I nod
"Yeah I mean...people just...never Understood me..." I started spilling all kinds of things because of my emotions my first boyfriend left me...I was sent to an asylum, twice."

This must be my lucky week!! Two people with interesting skills I can hold like puppets... and I hardly had to do any work. Thank you Dark Lord, I attribute this victory to you.

"Because of my extreme magic, my father used to beat me pretty badly... every time I tried to just be alone or hide, BAM! I'd just want to be safe and he'd come in and use the cruciatus curse on me..." I admit with a tear threatening to pour out of my eye, it was a crocodile tear at best but convincing just the same.

I look up at him
"At least YOU understand..." suddenly anger wells from memories and I breathe fire like a dragon, the large billowing stream a mix of orange and blue
"Sorry, my names Mona by the way"

"Yes I understand a LOT better than you know, please, call me Crouch, everyone does..." I extend my hand in friendly greeting...

I half smile a bit
"Nice to meet you Crouch" I then tell him what had happened recently, "apparently I'm wanted because some pale chick with twin swords tried to kill me; and then this guy named Sound said he'd help me understand exactly WHAT I am."
I put my hands on my head
"Today has been weird..."

"Sound say you?" Leave it to that Strayer trash to try and interfere. "I wouldn't trust him if I were you..."

I knit my brows in confusion
"Why's that?" I ask, really wanting some STRAIGHT anwsers from someone

"Well you see, it goes back a bit... I was abused as I told you so one day I finally got the courage to run away from home..."

"But when I did so, who should be there to bring me back then the 'valiant hero,'" I make air quotes, "Sound?"

"In fact, he didn't tell you his real name did he?"

I shake my head
"No, he didn't" I clench my fist
"He said he'd help me... But he doesn't trust me enough to tell me his real name?" there was rising anger in my voice

"His real name is Artemis Strayer..." I lick my lips ever so pleased with how this was turning out.

My fists burned with fire
"He lied to me...that, goody two shoes asshole!" several trees nearby burst into fire

"You can't trust a Strayer... they parade as heroes but it's all an act."

My lies flew out of my mouth like crows flying from the crops of deceit and treachery.

I scoffed
"I didn't believe him anyway, he was too nice and open; it already FELT like a goddamn act. I bet HE thought I was a monster too!"

"He probably did. He probably saw you as something to study, to put on a petri dish and experiment with..."

I immediately turn to Crouch
"Where is he? I'll burn him to ashes."

I turn my back to her, grinning crazily to myself, "Now hang on, let us not be hasty... after all, he believes he has you in his pocket. This puts you in a VERY unique position if you catch my meaning..."

"The way I figure it, why settle for one when you can get the whole set?"

I look down thinking for a bit and then, my eyes widen
"Are you...talking about his whole family?"

"But of course! Believe me, you'd be doing the wizarding world a grand service. Too long have they held onto their thrones of deceit and lies... I seek a world without lies, in which there's only truth..."

"Don't you want that?"

I nod
"I've ALWAYS wanted truth, I've been lied too WAY to many times."
"So.. what exactly are you wanting me to do?"

"Just play your expected part for now, once they let you into their little clubhouse... well, enjoy yourself..." I turn around revealing my insane grin.

I think about what he was suggesting; for me to get into Artemis's house and then just let loose.
Hmph, it's been a while sine I could do that freely anyways. I half grin and shake Crouch's hand.
"You've got yourself a guaranteed inferno Crouch; I'll incinerate it until nothing remains."

"Most excellent.." I shake her hand, my demonic grin not leaving my face. Oh how my blood races at the thought of the havoc...

"Oh one thing you probably should know before going in... Their home, Honora Castellum, is like an underground city. Wanton destruction should be used, but be sure to leave yourself a time frame in case you manage to bring the whole place down!"

I nod, understanding everything he's telling me
"Well, apparently, from what I know about MY family history is that I'm descendant of some pretty powerful, ruthless creatures. Heh, who would've guessed. Oh yeah and..." I let some blue fire dance across and around my hands
"Some kid named Eugene mentioned death eaters; evil wizards or something like that are they friends or...enemies?"
