Big D and Chiron shared a look before Big D turned to me and said in a voice filled with steel.

" We will prepare them for war and we will win. "

Chapter 25
Alex POV.

I nervously twisted my thumbs under the table as the Death Eaters talked about the upcoming war and making plans. Nico was of course helping them and I needed to tell him but I did not how. I did not think Voldemort would be to pleased either, then again the man has mood swings like a pregnant woman, constantly changing.

Taking a deep breath I opened my mouth only to close it once more and frowned. I glanced up and was met with a pair of enchanting crimson eyes that were staring at me.

" Is their something you want to share with us Alexis. " his smooth cultured voices spoke.

" Umm, yes actually, I went to Camp, " I glanced at Nico briefly " ....and everything is set...... Except that they want us to come stay at camp so we can train together. " I whispered the last part and was not sure if they heard what I said.

Tearing my eyes from where they were saying at my hands in my lap and looked around the table, no one spoke and everyone was looking Voldemort . His face was expressionless, Nico on the other hand was anything but emotionless, the look of utter fury was etched on his face.

" Alex " Nico hissed and I knew he was going to take it out in me but I was prepared.

" It was not my decision Nicolas. " I spoke with just as much venom in my tone as it was in his.

We stared at each other, neither one wanting to look away first but he looked away first, as always, the worst part was that I did not feel smug of winning. I too did not want to go back to camp any more than he did.

With a resigned huff he slouched in his seat and faced Voldemort who had been silently watching our argument.

" Why do they want us there? " he asked.

I just shrugged for I too did not know the answer. Voldemort was quite before he nodded.

" All my inner circle and five lower ranks will come with us to camp, be ready by sunset, we will departure then. " he gave the demand and dismissed his Death Eaters to get packed and ready to leave.

Nico stayed perfectly still, not moving an inch. I got up from my seat and walked over to his chair on the opposite side of the table. Leaning on the table I faced him and took his clenched hand into mine unfolding his hand.

" Trust me Nico I do not wish to return to camp any more than you do, but it's for the war we are doing this. You might even be able to stay in the wizarding world after this..... till you die." I softly spoke to him.

His black eyes stared into my green ones ,their was so much emotions swirling in them and it broke my heart to see him like this. I knew my eyes must of been identical to his and his hands squeezed mine , he gave me a small smile. With a nod toward Voldemort he walked out of the hall probably to go and pack.

I signed as I watched his retreating form. Two arms in circled themselves around my waist and pulled me against a firm chest. I let myself be dragged back and leaned into the chest, enjoying the feeling.

A pair of warm lips kissed the side of my neck and I leaned my head to the side onto his shoulder giving him more access to my neck. The arms around me tightened and I almost moaned out loud when he started to suck my neck. His lips trailed the column of my throat before he placed a kiss behind my ear and spoke.

" What troubles the both of you?" his lips brushed the shell of my ear as he spoke and I shivered.

" Camp Half-Blood was our home when we were younger but as the years went on, the wars came and new people as well. It just wasn't home anymore. " I tell him turning in his arms and looking into crimson eyes.

A pale hand comes up and cupped my cheek, I lean into the cool touch and smile at him. Kissing the palm of his hand I try and reassure him.

" Don't worry, hopefully things won't be as bad as I think the will be. " he gives me a dubious look but does not say anything. Instead he leans his head down and his lips meat mine. I'm shocked at the tenderness of the kiss but kiss him back ,loving this moment where there is no one but us. I moan as he lifts me up and places me on the table, standing between my legs and deepens the kiss. I bring my hands up running them over his chest and into his hair where I tug dark locks of smooth hair.

Desperately needing air I pull away and I can already feel the swelling of my lips as I stare into crimson eyes which are staring me with lust , possessiveness and some emotion I couldn't decipher.

Leaning my forehead on his chest I wrapped my arms around his waist and relax ,his arms wrap themselves around me and keeps me against his chest unable to move, not that I would want to.

" We need to pack. " I say breaking the comfortable silence that had settled .
Nodding he unwraps his arms from me and I smile when I feel them linger on me.

We go our separate ways and I was easily packed and ready in twenty minutes since I only packed things I needed when I came to stay here at the Manor.

I drop my head I to my hands as I think about everyone that will be at Camp and I knew ow my life is going to be hell. I lay there for some time and the next thing I know is Nico is walking me down the hall where the other Death Eaters with Voldemort is standing waiting for us.

Taking out several Port Keys I pass them around and with a deep breath I reach out the password.

" Sacrifice. "
