CALL OF DARKNESS

by

Hate's Fury

Chapter One: Madness

A young man with raven feather black hair sat huddled on the floor of a room that light had not shown in for many weeks. Tears fell down his face, which paled severely due to his lack of exposure to the sun. He did not know how long he had been in this position, nor did he care. Days, weeks, months? It did not matter to the boy. Hunger told him to get up and eat, but his mind would not allow his body to move. The pain that the hunger caused soothed him. It alleviated the pain that filled his mind. It had become his friend, his dark secret that he had managed to hide, even from the ever persistent members of the Order, who popped in from time to time.

Suddenly the tears stopped flowing and a cold laugh rang out of the boy's mouth. The death of his godfather had driven him over the edge. He now swam in an infinite abyss, which he could not escape. It seemed ironic to him that he was at this stage. "I am as mad as Lestrange!" He exclaimed in a fit of giggles. As he thought more on it, he realized that it didn't matter. He actually had to thank her one day. She had given him the gift of madness.

"Boy!" His uncle called from below. Like he did for the passed few weeks, he promptly ignored the call. He turned his thoughts back on the violet-eyed woman who had murdered his godfather.

She really didn't do anything wrong. A crazed voice whispered in his mind. She did what was necessary to sate her hunger for death. Would you have done any differently if you were her?

"No." Harry answered.

Right, because you have that same hunger. The voice said in delight. Only from what I have seen, you hunger for pain. Not just your own, but you wish to savor the pain of others.

"It is true." Harry realized.

Of course it is. Think about Hedwig. Harry turned to the cage in which his once beautiful snowy owl resided in. The bird no longer sat perched in the cage, but now lay in a bloody hep at its bottom. Did you enjoy it Harry? The bird's pain? Did it sate YOUR hunger? I don't think so. You need more than that Harry. You need more...

The voice then disappeared, leaving Harry to ponder its words. "Poor Hedwig." He sighed. "I truly am sorry." He, of course, received no answer. He was jutted out of his thoughts by a horrid pounding on his door.

"Boy! I am tired of this!" Vernon yelled. He broke down the door to find the little freak sitting in the dark. "Get down here and do these chores!" He marched over to Harry and roughly grabbed his arm.

Are you going to let that filthy muggle touch you in such a manner? The voice screamed.

"No." Harry said aloud.

"What did you just say you little freak?" Vernon asked. The boy looked at his uncle calmly and replied,

"I said 'no'." Vernon raised his fist to strike Harry, but an unseen force stopped his arm from moving any further. Vernon thrashed about wildly as red magic crackled around his body.

Harry, do you like what you see? This time the voice was distinctly feminine. Harry had an idea of who had been talking to him for so many weeks but he asked the question, if only to confirm his suspensions.

"Are you Bellatrix Lestrange?" A laugh filled the room as an invisibility cloak dropped to the floor. There she stood. The Dark Lord's 'queen of pain'. His most loyal death eater, with her eyes blazing wildly as she looked at the boy.

"Hello ickle baby Potty." She said in her insane baby voice. " Let me ask you, what do you want me to do with your dear uncle?" Harry looked into his uncle's eyes and saw the fear in them. He liked it.

"The torture curse." Harry stated with a dark smile gracing his lips. That was it. He had truly gone insane and he was enjoying every moment of it. Bellatrix smiled at the boy-who-lived. Her plan had worked perfectly. When Harry had cast the pain curse on her, she saw the madness in his eyes.

'He has great potential.' She thought with a wicked grin. Her violet eyes lit up as she remembered telling her master of her plan to drive the boy over the edge. He was ecstatic and approved the plan right away. So, she had taken an invisibility cloak, snuck into the house, and whispered little things into his ears for the passed month or so. She knew she had him the moment he tortured and killed his precious owl for her.

"Very well little Harrikens, torture it is." She turned to the fat man she held in her icy grip. She leaned in and licked his cheek. "This is going to hurt muggle, I guarantee it." She whispered. The man's eyes filled with fear as the door to Harry's room was shut and a silencing charm placed upon it.

"Harry, please don't let her do this." Vernon pleaded with his nephew. Harry stared at him curiously for a moment.

"Uncle, are you actually begging me for something?" He asked. "Why? What happened to me doing what ever you told me to do or else I would be beaten?"

"Please Harry I promise, I'll never treat you like that again, just save me!" Vernon yelled. Harry blinked twice and turned to Bellatrix, looked at her, then to his uncle.

"Sorry uncle." Harry said with a smile. "It's to late for that." He laughed, a laugh which chilled even Bellatrix.

'The plan worked better than expected.' Bellatrix thought. 'Perhaps getting him to join the Dark Lord won't be so hard after all.' " Well fatso, you got your answer." She said scathingly. She pointed her wand at him and muttered, "Crucio." Screams echoed through the room as Vernon fell to the floor. Bellatrix turned to Harry and told him to watch. "You may learn something."

Harry watched as the witch's eyes filled with delight. Vernon continued to scream and writhe as Harry started laughing, which surprised both him and Bellatrix. 'I think we're going to get along just fine.' The death eater thought happily.

"Tell me muggle." Bellatrix whispered. "Does it hurt?" His screams answered in the affirmative. "What do you want Harry?" She asked. " Death or should I break his mind?"

"He has lived much too long as it is." Harry answered. " Kill him."

" Very well, byesy byesy muggle." She giggled. " Avada Kedavra." A green flash filled the room followed by a thump as Vernon's arms fell to his sides.

"It's a shame." Harry said.

"What do you mean ickle Harrikens?" Bellatrix asked. " Should I have let him live?"

" No, I meant that it was a shame that you couldn't have tortured him for a little bit longer." Harry stated with a smile. He turned to the window and said, " We should leave, the Order may come to investigate why Vernon hasn't dragged me out yet."

"I agree Harry, would you like to apparate with me or..." She trailed. " Should we use the front door?"

"As much as the idea of my aunt and cousin cowering in fear of us appeals to me, I have to decline with using the front door." Harry answered. " I think it best if we leave now." He had retained enough of his sanity to know that even with Bellatrix at his side, the odds of them defeating Dumbledore and his Order were slim to none.

" I am impressed Harry, you should have been in slitherin." Bellatrix commented.

" The sorting hat wanted to put me in there, but I had met your nephew Draco beforehand and I still held on to the trite concept of the strength of good over evil." Harry replied.

"Well, I have to admit that my nephew is a tad too much like his father for my tastes." She laughed. " I do wish he was like more like my sister, but it is not to be." She sighed dramatically. "Now then ickle Harry, let us take our leave of this disgusting place." Harry made to grab his wand, but was stopped by the insane woman. " You will not need that anymore, I am sure that we can forge one more suited for your needs."

"But..." Harry was about to argue. One look from the woman told him that this was non-negotiable. " Very well." He relented.

"Good." Bellatrix said sliding behind him. She wrapped her arms around his small frame and decided that something was going to have to be done. They disappeared just as Petunia came up to she what was taking Vernon so long with the boy. She screamed when she saw the face of her dead husband twisted in agony.

Dumbledore's Office

Remus Lupin ran into the headmaster's office just as Dumbledore was sitting down to a hot cup of tea. " Albus!" The werewolf practically screamed.

"What is it Remus?" Dumbledore asked worry filling his eyes. " Another death eater raid?"

"No! Worse!." Remus answered. " Harry has been kidnaped!"

"Oh my." Dumbledore muttered shell shocked. "What happened?"

"Harry's aunt ran outside in hysterics yelling about how 'that little freak' had killed her Vernon." Lupin said. " Evidence suggests that it was Bellatrix Lestrange who did the killing, being that he was tortured before death."

"We must call a meeting!" Dumbledore exclaimed. "We can decide what to do from there." They apparated to Grimmauld Place and called all available Order members.

"I am afraid that I have horrible news." Dumbledore said. " I must inform all of you that Harry Potter has been kidnaped."

" No!" Molly Weasley screamed as she burst into tears.

"Who took him?" Arthur asked trying to comfort his wife.

"We believe that his kidnapper is Bellatrix Lestrange." Dumbledore answered wearily.

" Oh my God!" Tonks whispered. She knew how cruel her aunt could be and knew that even if they found Harry, he would never be the same.

"Severus." Dumbledore said turning to the potions master.

"Yes Headmaster?" Snape asked.

"I need you to go back to Voldemort and look out for Harry."

"Will do Albus." With that Snape apparated to Riddle Manor.

"Are you sure he will save Harry?" Tonks asked.

"Of course, we must have faith." Dumbledore said unknowing of Harry's turn to darkness.

Riddle Manor

Voldemort smiled as he swirled a glass of wine around in his hand. He took a sip and sighed. Everything was going so well for him at the moment. The ministry's reputation had been tarnished thanks to Fudge's refusal to acknowledge his return to power, Dumbledore's Order was becoming weaker with each of his attacks, and to top it all off he had just received word that Bellatrix had brought Potter to him.

He apparated to where his death eaters stood muttering to each other about what the latest meeting was about.

"My death eaters." Voldemort exclaimed. All attention the turned to the snake-like wizard. " I have glorious news, my most faithful has brought us Harry Potter!" At this the entire hall exploded in cheers. The doors opened and in walked the queen of pain with the Potter boy following close behind. Many of the death eaters wondered why the boy was not in chains.

Bellatrix kneeled before the Dark Lord. " Master, may I present to you Harry Potter." She said. Harry stepped forward. His emerald eyes met glowing red for a moment before Harry also dropped to his knees. A large gasp was heard as the death eaters watched their lord's sworn enemy bow to him.

Voldemort looked bewildered for a moment before smiling evilly. "Well Mr. Potter, what is this?" He asked. " Are you perhaps offering your allegiance to me?"

Harry raised his head and every death eater noticed the madness glowing in those green orbs. " I am now a creature of pain." He stated. " If I am allowed to cause pain to my enemies, more specifically the Order of the Phoenix, I shall gladly accept your mark and pledge my eternal loyalty to you... my Lord." He smiled darkly. You could hear a pin drop as Bellatrix, Harry, and the other death eaters awaited the dark lord's decision. Moments passed before a smile crept upon Voldemort's lips.

" Very well Potter." He said. " Come forward and accept my mark." Harry rose and moved directly in front of the dark wizard. "Extend your wand arm." Harry stretched out his right arm to the dark lord. His skin burned as the mark was placed upon him. He smiled the entire time, taking pleasure from his own pain. When the ritual was finished Harry looked at the black tattoo that graced his pale flesh.

He traced it with his index finger and muttered, " Beautiful." He turned and looked out over the crowd of death eaters. He noticed Snape standing in the very back, a smirk on his face but Harry saw terror in his eyes.

"Potter."

"Yes my lord?" Harry asked turning back to his new master.

" I have decided that you shall live with Bellatrix, so that she may teach you. Is this acceptable?"

"Nothing would please me more." Harry answered kneeling. He glanced over at his new teacher and noticed the small smile that escaped her lips.

"This meeting is adjourned for now, return at the same time tomorrow evening." Voldemort said.

The death eaters bowed and disappeared until there was only Harry, Bellatrix, and Snape left. Harry saw Snape give him a look of pure loathing before apparating back to Dumbledore.

'Let him tell them.' Harry thought. 'It will only make them fear our lord even more.'

"Let's go home Harry." Bellatrix said gripping his arm. " I have much to teach you." With that they apparated way to Lestrange Manor.
