Ok, this will be written from my point of view, just so you know. and the lyrics Kyley sings are from "We Are" by Ana Johnsson. I thought it would be perfect to explain how she fells about her life. If you want to hear how the song sounds, you can go to YouTube.com and type in "Draco We Are" in the serch bar, and it will take you to a video of it. Hope you like it, and leave me some feedback to let me know what you think!

It all started in the Slytherin Common Room. I was sitting on one of the couches, my dark blue guitar in my lap. I couldn't sleep again, so I had come down to play my guitar, which usually helps me when I have trouble sleeping. While I was strumming the strings, suddenly two hands covered my eyes and a voice said "Caught you Devons!" "Draco, get off me you git," I laughed as he uncovered my eyes and sat beside me. "How'd you know it was me?" "Two ways," I said, "Your voice and the Axe body spray." He laughed, and I smiled. We just had this bond between us that we couldn't explain. "What are you doing down here so late?" I questioned. "Couldn't sleep. Are you working on a new song?" "No, it's one of my old ones, but it's one you've never heard," I tell him. "Can I hear it?". "I guess," I say and begin to strum the chords.

See the devil on the doorstep now (my oh my)
Telling everybody, oh, just how to live their lives
Sliding down the information highway
Buying in just like a bunch of fools
Time is ticking and we can't go back (my oh my)

What about the world today
What about the place that we call home
We've never been so many
And we've never been so alone

(Chorus)
Keep watching from your picket fence
You keep talking but it makes no sense
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are
You wash your hands and come out clean
Fail to recognise the enemies within
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are, we are

One step forward making two steps back (my oh my)
Riding piggy on the bad boys back for life
Lining up for the grand illusion
No answers for no questions asked
Lining up for the execution
Without knowing why

(Chorus)

It's all about power by taking control
Breaking the will
And breaking the soul
They suck us dry till there's nothing left
My oh my, my oh my

What about the world today
What about the place that we call home
We' ve never been so many
Yet we've never been so alone.... so alone

(Chorus)

It's all about power by taking control (we are)
Breaking the rule (we are, we are)
And breaking the soul (we are)
They suck us dry till there's nothing left (we are, we are)
My oh my, my oh my

We are
We are (its all )
We are
We are, we are (by taking control)
We are
We are
It's all about power
By taking control

I played the last chord, and looked over to him. "What'd you think?" He didn't say anything for a minute, but just continued to look into my eyes. "Kyley, it was beautiful. You have an incredible gift," he finally wispered. I couldn't believe it. Draco had never told me that before...No one had. "Thanks Draco. It means a lot to me." "I mean it Kyley. When you sing, it's like time stops. The whole world just seems to listen." I blushed and felt hot tears p***k the back of my eyes. Draco was always so good to me. he had been ever since that night that seemed to be so long ago.
*Flashback*
It was summer break after my second year, and I continued to count down the days until I would get back to Hogwarts, but they just seemed to drag by. My father was the cause of this, and I had the bruises to prove it. But on this day, my life had nearly come to an end. It all began that evening, when he came barging into my room and demanded I come to his study. having no choise but to follow him, I entered the study, only to find Voldemort and about 20 other Death Eater's standing around his desk. "Kyley," Voldemort said, "Your father and I have decided that tonight is the night you will recieve your Dark Mark, and join my Death Eater's." I stared in shock. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. Me, a Death Eater, at 12? Not a chance! "Well, that's very unexpected, sir....but I don't think I'm ready to be a Death Eater." He gave me a look. "My dear, I would think you would see this as a honor. To be given your mark now would make you the youngest Death Eater in history." "It is an honor sir, don't get me wrong, but I don't.." "Thomas, your daughter seems to be reluctant. I believe that needs to be corrected," Voldemort said to my father. "Forgive her, my lord. She is mearly a child. I will explain to her what a privilige it is to be chosen so young," Father said to Voldemort, then came over to me, grabbed my arm, and pulled me out into the hall. "Do you realize how much you have embassed me, girl?!" he screamed at me, and began to beat me to the ground. It seemed like hours, but it was all over in about five minutes. He then pulled me back into the study, and Voldemort got ahold of my left wrist and gave me the Dark Mark. When he was finished, I fell to the ground, and they all left the house, leaving me bruised, bleeding, and broken. I finally managed to get up again and hobbled over to the fire place, grabbing a handfull of Floo Powder on the way. "Malfoy Manor!" When I was shot out through the other fire place, I heard a voice call out my name, "Kyley!" "Draco," I wispered weakly, then was engulfed by a pool of blackness. Later, I awoke in another room with Draco by my side. "Kyley, what happened to you?" I took a shakey breath and showed him my arm. He gasped. "But, you're only 12!" "It was my father...He forced me to do it! And he..." but I couldn't go on. I burst into sobs. Draco pulled me in and held me. "I can't go back! I'm so scared, Draco!" "You can stay with me, Kyley. My parents won't mind." "But what if my father finds out? What if your father tells him I'm here?" I asked. He looked directly into my eyes. "I'll protect you."
