"Dear Amanda,
I hope you are doing fine, I am writing this letter cause at this very moment I don't know what will happen to me, remember the promise I made about being safe, I'm afraid I have to break that promise. Viktor knows. I will go to the location he gave me. I will either survive or die, but I cannot run away from this. I took the liberty of going into your dormitory, their should be a book, well two books. One that belongs to me that is about dark magic, it's a family book and the other is a book from the bookstore we went to. I know how much you love books and I wanted to give you a gift. It saddens me that I cannot give it in person but sometimes there is no choice. I l.... I like you, and I hope you will do great things in your life.
Sincerely yours, Damien Burke.
Ps: This owl is yours now, take good care of it.

Amanda took the letter from the owl, and expected it to fly away. She was a little confused when it didn't. She started to read it, and her expression fell. First she looked sad, then she looked angry. She held the letter tightly in her grip. Reading the last line, she realized why the owl hadn't left. She stroked the owls feathers gently, and whispered to it "Do you have a name?" She ran to her dorm, and sure enough there were the books he had mentioned, she hide them quickly, it wouldn't do good to leave a dark arts book lying out for everyone to see. She knew who she needed to write too. Her sister. Pulling out a pen and paper, she thought about what she would say.
"Viola..." she paused in her writing. Amanda was not good at writing letters, specially not to her sister. "As much as it pains me to write this. I need your help. Viktor has summoned Damien to him, I think he intends to kill Damien, for he knows that you and him were together" Her quill tapped the page again. She knew that this would anger her sister, but she needed her help. She didn't like to admit it, but Viola was better than her at spells "I am asking you to help me, as your sister, putting aside any grudge we may have for that just for now. Afterward everything can go back to normal. Please.
Amanda." She signed it off, and gave it too her owl Maria, she sat with the owl he had given her and waited for her sister to reply. She had no idea what to do. She just knew she had to help him somehow, she couldn't do nothing. It was now all up to her sister.

As Viola skimmed through the letter, her face flushed red from anger. She let out a high pitched scream and hissed to herself, "That bastard will NOT touch any of my days." They might have slept together once, but that did not give him free rein to kill the boys. She reached for a quill and a piece of parchment.
Amanda,
Meet me near the school gates in ten minutes. I will not allow Viktor to kill any more of my boys.
Viola.
She attached the note to Amanda's owl and watched it fly out of her window before fastening her travelling cloak around her neck and heading upstairs to the Great Entrance. |

Amanda watched her owl fly back nervously, what had Viola said. She pulled the letter off her owls leg, and let it fly out to the owlery. She let the new owl fly off as well, reading it she couldn't help but grin. After waiting a few minutes, so she wouldn't get there before Viola had told her too, she pulled on a long black clock and made her way to the school gates where her sister had told her to meet her. She leant against a wall and waited, seeing her sister. She stood straight. "Viola" she said greeting her sister.

The Slytherin had her eyes fixed ahead of her. She kept walking forwards ignoring everything and everyone. She stepped outside the castle and hurried towards the gate. Viola soon spotted a familiar figure leaning against the wall. She gave a nod to her twin and hissed, "If he hurts Damien. We will take Gwennan Gryffindor down." Viola pulled out her wand and turned to face the castle. She waved her hand in the air and said softly, "Accio Brooms." Viola peered over her shoulders and explained, "Since neither of us can apparate we will use broomsticks. I know where he has taken them. His first home... where he takes most of his victims." Two broomsticks soared through the air and flew straight into Viola's out stretched hand. She handed one to Amanda and asked, "Are you ready sis?" |

Amanda nodded. "Yes we will" she agreed, for once they had a shared goal, so to speak. She watched her sister summon some brooms. "Why would he take them there?" she asked. She nodded again at her sister "As ready as I will ever be" she said taking the broom and jumping on it. She waited until Viola had left, then followed her. She was nervous, and had to grip hard to stay on the broom.

Viola shrugged in response. "I think it is the place of his first murders... Maybe it makes him feel more in power." She reached for Amanda's hand and squeezed it reassuringly. "You will be fine. We will save him," she said. Viola mounted her broom and turned to look at Amanda. She cocked her head and added out of the blue, "I do not hate you Mandy." Without waiting for a response, Viola kicked her against the ground and her broom instantly took flight. |

Amanda nodded a little freaked out. She shivered at the information, but stayed strong. "We have too" she said quietly. She squeezed her sisters hand back and smiled. "I know... We just have... Different values" she paused for a second "call me Ammy, like you used too before... Father was killed" she said softly. She flew a little faster so that she was beside her twin. "Why is he so jealous of your... days?" she asked pausing over the last word.

Viola pulled her broomstick to a stop and turned the handle so that she was facing Amanda. "Ammy?!?" she repeated in a strangled voice. Viola hated her father for what he had done to her mother and their family. However, she could not deny the fact that his death had changed all of them. Viola almost missed the relationship she used to have with her twin. Amanda's question brought her back to reality and replied simply, "Because I killed his girls." |

Amanda stopped abruptly as her sister stopped, she was about to ask if they were close to Viktors, but heard her sisters strangled question. "Yes, Viola. Ammy. Everything was a lot simple before father died, I miss the way we were. How close we were" she said with an almost longing smile. "Oh for god sake" she exclaimed "you can't just go around killing people Viola" she rolled her eyes. "You never used too, and neither did mother" she sighed. Amanda did not know her father had cheated. She had looked up to her father, if she had known she wouldn't have fought with Viola in the months after his death. Her mother had always favoured Viola, but it hadnt been so bad. "Are we getting close yet?" she asked anxiously.

It always startled Viola how the two of them seemed to think about the same thing at the same time. She gave a small shrug and simply nodded in response to Amanda's words. "I did not do for nothing. I had my reasons," she snapped. However, did not offer her twin further detail. Viola felt her heart sink at Amanda's next words and tears welled in her eyes. Neither her twin, nor their little sister knew why Esme had killed their father. "It's all daddy's fault," she hissed. Viola looked away and bit her lower lip hard, willing herself not to cry. Viola had loved her father, but after cheating on their mother she knew he would hate him forever. "We will be there in twenty minutes," she replied. "Let's hope Viktor doesn't kill Dami immediately. Knowing him, he will want to have some fun first." |

"Okay. I am sorry, but it just sounded like you had no reason" she paused "so what was your reason?" she asked curiously. She smiled sadly as her sisters eyes filled with tears. Her own eyes gleamed with unshed tears. "Why? Why was it's daddy's fault?" she asked, Amanda was confused. She didn't know what her father had done, to deserve death. "What?" she exclaimed. "Is he that sick?" she looked a little frightened. "Do you think we could get there sooner?" she asked "maybe fly faster?" she suggested. Wanting to get there as soon as possible.

Viola frowned and gave a shrug, "The reasons are personal." In truth, she did not want to appear weak in front of her twin. Not that her later tears did not convey the same effect. Viola just did not want to admit that she had been jealous of those girls. Her head whipped back in Amanda's direction and shrieked, "Daddy cheated on mother." Viola leaned down and touched her forehead to the broomstick. She had spent so many years erasing the memory of her father's corpse from her mind but now that they were talking about it, it all came back to her. "He is that sick," she confirmed. Viola straightened her back and instructed. "Lean forwards. That should increase the speed. We might be there in ten minutes." |

Amanda nodded and accepted her twins answer. "He did what?" she asked disbelieving, Amanda rather looked up to their father, but now any admiration was gone, and that shook her terribly. Her father was a low back stabbing cheat, her mother had, had every right to take her revenge. She nodded, blinking back threatening tears from the information and did as told. "The sooner the better, hey" she managed to whisper out. Her voice trailing off.

"Yes Amanda. You heard me. Daddy cheated on her... in our own house," she said wth a sigh. Viola paused and asked uncertainly, "Do you remember our first manor?" She had no idea what made her ask that. Viola gave a nod at Amanda's words and leaned forwards, urging her broom to fly faster, |
