Why are you doing this? [Death Eaters]

[Deleted]

The Riddle House? Pepijn blinked as he heard those words. Riddle as in he who must not be named? Wait weren’t the Death Eaters defeated? Why were they here? He was confused, very confused. Yet he knew that he’d better not ask questions. As he was shoved into the house, he managed to keep standing instead of collapsing again. Even though he was a little wobbly in the beginning. Pressing his teeth in his lip, his big eyes went through the corridor. With no idea what these men precisely wanted with him or if he will even make it out alive, he wished that this all was just a bad dream. Closing his eyes and opening them afterwards, he still was in this strange mansion, not at his mother’s house and certainly not at Jason’s apartment. One of the men walked of and he was left alone with the scarier one. Moving away from the man as far as possible, he waited nervously for what was about to happen next. Ignoring the words of the scary man, he kept his eyes on the door, not daring to look at the other person in the hallway.

[Donovan Riddle]

Moving to the entry way as one of Ben's trainees told him, looking at his partner than to the healer, he raised an eyebrow. The healer looked like he had been through a lot, looking at the dirt on the healer's trousers told Donovwan there had been complications, looking to Rowan, he wanted information about the healer right now, "What do you know about him?" Donovan wondered what they caught whom they brought back, the last thing he wanted was someone to come looking for the healer. Right now it was just a simple mission to see where the lower ranks were, because Donovan needed them to be prepared and ready to fight when he needed them to.

Still looking at the Healer, "Ben, have you already talked to him? To them?" Taking the puffiness of the other man's eyes, should that the healer was crying, or at least had been. Had the trainees done something to the healer? So he spoke directly to him, "Why are you crying?" He sneered it, because when coming here, one should at least attempt to keep his pride intact and try to stay strong when in a situation as this one. "What you're name?"

Even though he doubted he would need it, he did want Alex here, Donovan would have laughed, but Alex was his 'guard dog'. The Mark was set up through blood magic, so when his father was murdered, Donovan got the mark. Trying to not remember the pain transformation, Donovan used the Mark to summon Alex alone.

[Alex Dean Andrews]

Waking up to the feeling in his arm, he had Casey laying on him in bed. Groaning, he tried to slide out from under the taller man without waking up. He looked at the clock, 3:00am, what the hell happen? Alex got dressed quickly, writing Casey a quick note, and took the floo to the Riddle house. It was fast than apperation and it would get him directly into the house instead of walking through the woods. Once inside, Alex didn't see anything out of the ordinary. He was only in the main room though. 

Pulling out his wand, Alex put his guard up, looking out for anything. He was in the main room, coming out of the fireplace, Alex stood up straighter after he heard voices coming from the entry way. Heading in that direction, Alex saw Donovan and three death eaters, and one man whom Alex didn't recognize. Why was Alex even here? It was late and obviously things were under control, but it Alex wasn't going to argue about why he was here. "What's going on?" Alex finally spoke up, walking over to the group.

The arrogance of the spawn of the dark lord and the Black girl amused Caspar to no end. That the boy thought himself capable and well-respected enough already to command Death Eaters to do his bidding while he slept safely tucked under his sheets like a privileged whelp was both amusing and irritating. The fingers that were curled around his wand itched to cast a curse towards the young man, but he did not. He had much to teach Donovan, and knowing his nature as he did, showing just how he felt towards him - the lack of respect and low approval he held for the boy - would not help his cause.

Before returning downstairs to the scene that was occurring due to the fumble of young, inexperienced fools, he composed himself as he recalled one of the last private conversations he had shared with Voldemort. He intended to stand by the words he had spoken that day, no matter what came of it. With his temper abated for the moment, he headed back downstairs to where he had been with Ben. His nephew was still in the room, along with the incompetent boy, though Donovan had apparently gone ahead of the two. "Afraid to see the disappointment that has been brought to us," he asked casually as he passed the two to head to the entryway of the house, knowing that they would follow. 

He had never expected the boys to pull off the mission well, so it was not a disappointment for him to see the sniveling Healer. It was laughable, to see a grown man in tears, frightened as a child would be. Where was his dignity? "One whimpering Healer...a fine prize. On your orders, as well. You must be pleased with yourself," said the brunet contemptuously, speaking to Donovan though his eyes continued to drift back to the Healer. He ignored the presence of the wolf; they were filthy beasts that he would just as soon see killed off along with the mugggles.

“Really... that is all?” He said almost not believing the words that were said. Benjamin placed his head in his hands due to the disappointment that his trainee had brought with him. Well not really that he blamed the boy for this, Donovan should have known that these young men weren’t ready yet. Or at least have given them a proper description. If anything needed, Ben would have selected a healer and let the boys to the fetching part but no... They just grabbed a stray dog without a label attached to it from the street. There were no words that Ben could think of to say now that would not either hurt or scare his trainee to death. Biting his tongue to restrain himself, he kept telling himself that he was their trainer not their master or executioner. Although he really felt like strangling the other person in the room now. Wonder above wonder he managed to keep himself calm as he barely noticed the young dark lord pass them both by.

Upon hearing the voice of his uncle, Benjamin turned his head up. “You would not believe me...” He said full of disbelieve as the elder man passed him by. His eyes followed Mr. Fawley as the man walked the same way as Donovan had done. Leaving his game of cards for what it was, he finished his fire whiskey and got up. “Well, let’s see what you’ve brought into this house.” He growled towards James as he placed his hands in his pockets and started to walk towards the hallway.

Arriving at the place he held the door open so that James could enter as well. Just because he was angry with the boy should not mean that he would be impolite. Immediately his face turned into a frown when he saw the young healer. The guys simply looked like a mess and it seemed that the little bit that James had told him was real. If they had gotten two days for this, enough healers to choice from, why pick a whiny kid? However Benjamin was not the person to judge a person by its attitude that much, the healer could still prove his skills. Everyone could man up, James even would too if Benjamin was done with the punishment he had planned.

Keeping quiet until he was required to speak, he listened to the young leader when he was questioned. “I just had a little chat with Mr. Halsey, sir.” He answered the young man politely. “Nothing much of use came out of it, I am afraid. I thought that I told you these two weren’t ready yet? The chance of succeeding was already minimum, I am surprised that they got someone at all. Although I doubt that they have checked for people who might come looking for this cry-baby” His polite and submissive attitude suddenly changed and now sounded like a teacher scolding a student.

His whole frown even deepened more as the young lord used his mark to summon someone. Benjamin knew all too well who was coming and this didn’t please him one bit. His face turned to pure disgust when indeed the lord’s pet dog arrived. Benjamin moved as far away from the door opening as possible and stood with his uncle. Only with the hope that Alex could contain himself for the beast was often very rude.

Rowan looked up silently as everyone entered the room, one behind another, all including the likes of Donovan himself. It was bound to happen but the increase in people made him feel slightly on edge, Caspars presence of all of them disturbed Rowan slightly. Looking up to Donovan he was pulled out of his own little world. "Trainee healer who's good enough to be wanted by others but not important enough to be missed," he shrugged lightly before taking a step out of the way as the wolves joined the party...

Pepijn had kept himself quiet, felling that everything what he did could turn against him. He didn’t had to wait long anymore because another person entered the hallway. Looking slightly up, even more people entered and he felt like a pig, ready for slaughter. It was pretty obvious to notice that all the men were questioning his use. Well he would doubt himself too, no he actually did. These men, there were many of them, the one even scarier than the other.

Pepijn did not know where to look, and finally focussed his eyes on the person who began to talk to him. “I-I am not c-crying.” He claimed, finally finding somewhat of his courage. Yet it didn’t take away the fact that he was scared. There were four people in this room who all looked really intimidating and there he was, completely wandless at the mercy of these four strangers. Still with no idea how he ever was going to make it out. For some reason he was pretty sure that they brought him here to kill him. Mainly since he had found out about this being the Riddle house and he could not come up with anything that made more sense.

“I-I am j-just really t-tired.” Well maybe this helped too, everything always seemed a little over emotional when you were tired. It already had been a long day and the night before he barely could get any sleep because he had been thinking about his first night at Jason’s apartment all the time. Biting his lip, he decided to keep his attention focussed on the man who asked him questions. This time he was asked for his name and he figured that he'd better cooperate these weren't things that were too dangerous to tell. Yet he would do anything to keep Jason, David, Leon and his mother out of this. “I-I’m P-pepijn...” He softly said. “A-almost done w-with my healer t-training at t-the spell d-damage department.” He could not help the stuttering it had always been there and even in front of Jason he still did it. It was something he hated a lot. A fifth person entered but Pepijn didn’t move his attention.

[James Dillion Halsey]

Walking with Ben to the entry way was not an ideal thing with Donovan with them, Casper joining only added to James's nerves. He wanted to get out of this situation more than anything now, he should have done better and yet here was trying to figure out a way to avoid getting in the middle of his mission and the people above him. When Donovan started asking questions, he jumped to tell all the information he knew, "We don't know much, we just know he's smart enough to be working with the healers above him. He's not that bright, Rowan was able to get his wand and the poor sod was still looking for it. That's all we know aside from what they already said."

Looking to Ben, he was little worried about what was going to happen now, James really regretted his choice of the healer now, he should have gone back or even grabbed the other healer as well. The one Pepijn spoke to. "If we had more information on who you wanted, maybe we could have done better." James spoke up boldly.

[Donovan Riddle]

Donovan raised an eyebrow at Pepijn, this was not going to be helpful person what so ever around here. He smirked turning to Ben, "No, they aren't ready. At all. They brought a mess into my home. I would at least assume they would have gotten someone stronger. Even if they weren't smart, this man doesn't even know where he is at and yet, he's a mess." He moved his wand to the Healer, pointing it at him, he didn't want to waste his time with a man who gave him no benefits. He wondered if Pepijn had anyone looking for him, "Who will be looking for this man?" He didn't want to deal with order members over a simple unworthy healer.

His answer though, it was not what he expected at all. Hearing from what the trainee had to say, he raised an eyebrow. "So, in a short, we know nothing about him." Nodding his head, looking at everyone in the room, he pretty pissed off, but he kept his voice calm, he even lowered his wand from Pepijn. "There is a stranger, in my home, which we know nothing about." Donovan hummed, not really sure if he was even processing the right information, he looked at Casper, remember how the man thinks so low of him trying to run this and this is the mockery that was made of him leading. How can one prove anything if the people he works with are more than incompetent? Which out a second thought, he used his anger, Donovan's wand was on Ben before his eyes were, "Crucio." He was so done with this mess, he wasn't going to be doing this anymore, expecting the best of out people who didn't care.

He was here to avenge his father, he was here to make the world pay, and he would. And he if the people he was supposed to be trusting wanted to act like moronic nobodies, than they can do so on their own time. Lift the curse after a minute or so, Donovan turned his glare to Casper, "You wanted to help and train so badly, you will take on one of these two. You will train them. You will not argue. Congratulations."

Going to James's arm, he pulled it hard, using the dark mark, he summoned the rest of the death eaters he had, he would make sure everyone understand what was going on. Who they were up against, while young, Donovan had been trained well. His father put him under curses multiple times to get him to learn. Bellatrix was his aunt. Lucius his step-father. Voldemort his father. Donovan knew how to work his magic and his guarding, he would not let his father's name go out because he couldn't be a good enough leader. "I will be sending out another mission for this sorry excuses and they will be ready when I do." Looking at Rowan and James, Donovan glared, "It matters not who trains you in the future. One of your trainers was punished because of you two and the other, well, the other is his family. I'm more than certain you will be learning much faster."

He pointed to the main room's entrance with his wand, he wanted everyone in that room, because he knew people would start showing up. Donovan wanted everyone to be around for the next event. He hoped his mother wouldn't be too disappointed, but looking at it now, as his patience is running lower, she couldn't possibly understand. She's safe right now, protecting her family, but Donovan was here trying to make sure she didn't have to ever again. She would never understand why he needed this now and not tomorrow, he hoped she would try to understand him anyway though. Even though she was in hiding, she was still able to get word about what happens here.

"I want everyone in the main room, I want everyone to see what's going to happen next." From his spot in the room, he could see everyone, so he didn't move until everyone had made their way to the main room. He wouldn't let his wand down or his guard, he would make sure he had control of the room until they moved to the other room. Looking at Benjamin, Donovan felt pity for him, mostly because he had been punished for another man's mistake. Donovan believed because of that, Benjamin would train them better and the trainees would learn faster. Purely because they didn't want the incident to occur again.

Ignoring the healer for the time being because, what difference did it make of the man at this moment, he was wandless and frightened, Donovan was half tempted to just kill the man now and move on to their next task, but he knew he needed a healer around. He just hoped for the sake of everyone involved, that the healer was as good as said. Looking at the healer, he kept his dead serious voice on his calm features, "You will stay with me." Donovan didn't make it clear why, but he wasn't going to explain himself either. His father never did, nor will he.

Hunter was in the middle of chatting it up with a girl at his bar when he felt that familiar tug on his arm. He grimaced as he realized what it meant. He excused himself with the girl and turned the bar over to one of his workers before apparating to the Riddle home. 

He wasn't fond of their new leader. He was young, too young in his opinion and didn't have nearly enough experience to lead. He wouldn't have minded if one of the older males had taken over. He'd seen them in action and knew they could handle themselves ruthlessly. Donovan on the other hand..fuck, he was no older than James. He tried to imagine how James would perform in such a position and nearly laughed at the idea. 

He waltzed into the entry way and caught sight of everyone moving towards the main room. He assumed he wasn't the only one being summoned. He caught up with James and gripped his arm. "What's going on?" He hissed, angry for being summoned. He knew James and Rowan were supposed to be on a mission and wondered if they'd done something to fuck it up. He would have a few not so kind words for James if that were the case.
