Electra Black's POV:
Regulus Black was standing in the nursery at No. 12 Grimmuld Place, holding his one year old daughter, Electra Ares Black. In his final year of high school, Regulus had been depressed due to recently receiving the dark mark. He had ventured out to the muggle world and landed in a bar where he ended up drinking too much and slept with a random woman. He was unsure how she knew his address, but nine month later a baby arrived on his footstep with a note explaining that it was his child, and she did not want to be involved in their life. Even though Regulus was only 17 years old, he did not want to leave the child in an orphanage, so he decided to raise the child himself. Luckily for her, his parents had passed the year beforehand, so it was just him and Kreacher in the house alone so nobody was aware that he had even had a child.
Regulus was a master legilesmess so he was able to keep Electra hidden from The Dark Lord and any of his supporters. He used dark magic to cover her on the Black Family Tapestry for all households, so she would not be discovered. However, for Electra to live a long life not worrying about the Dark Lord and his psychotic ideas, Regulus needed to take him down. Regulus had attempted to tell Professor Dumbledoor about a way to rid the Dark Lord, he did not take him seriously, so Regulus knew he needed to do this on his own.
"You are the best gift that I have ever had. I couldn't have asked for a better daughter. Never forget that your daddy loves you," and with that, Regulus placed Electra in her crib and met with Kreacher, to have him take him to the cave where The Dark Lord had previously went to hide one of his horcruxes.
When Regulus went to the cave to destroy the Horcrux, he ordered Kreacher to leave him in the cave, as he was being dragged down by the Inferi and return home with the locket which was truthfully one of The Dark Lords horcruxes and destroy it. His final request was to take care of Electra Black for him and gift her her journals when she is old enough, so she learns about her father.
However, during this time, someone had broken through the wards in the house and when Kreacher arrived back home, Electra was missing from her crib. This broke Kreacher. Although he had not been home to protect her, he felt that he had failed his master's last wishes. He couldn't speak to anyone about her being missing either, due to Regulus wanting nobody to know.
Kreacher was now completely alone.

17 Years Later
◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️
All that could be heard was the sound of twigs and leaves crunching. Multiple footsteps could be heard racing through the forest, as one girl was sitting at the top of a tree, her hand holding a gun, steady in one hand, whilst her other was holding a dagger. On her wrists were bracelets that shot out electrical disks that had enough voltage to knock out an adult. On her back were two batons that when flicked, extended and activated an electrical charge. She had another two guns in her belt, and a knife in each boot, and three daggers around her belt. She had just finished running eight kilometres through the wilderness and was being chased by at least 15 men with guns. She knew that no cars would be able to make it through the forest so unless they called for more men, these would be the only one's for the time being. She needed to get rid of these men, and then she could keep tracking.
She sat there waiting patiently. Her eyes narrowed as she could sense them approaching and crouched down on the branch. As soon as she saw the first man she sent out one shot. It hit the man in between the eyes, and before anyone noticed, she took out three other men. The other eleven stopped and cocked their own guns. Quickly, Electra dropped out of the tree and landed on one of the men's shoulders and activated her electric band, and knocked the man out. As he dropped, Electra forwards rolled, and pulled out a second dagger, and slashed at the calves of the next man standing in front. As he dropped she slit his throat. Holding him up she used his body as a shield from bullets being sent, before twisting away throwing her two daggers, hitting two of the men in the chest, causing them to drop on their knees and let go of their guns. She mentally counted that she had seven more to take out.
Just as more shots were being made, her eyes glowed green and she held out her hands where green wisps surrounded her hands. Extending the wisps she formed a force field that stopped the bullets from reaching her. As they stopped for a moment, she then made the wisps surround the men's guns and flicked her wrists causing the guns to be released from their hands. As they were then unarmed, Electra quickly took out two of her other guards, and shot all of the other seven men, and then shot the man she had knocked out. As she looked around at the carnage, she took a deep breath knowing that she was safe for the moment. Electra quickly put her guns back into her belt, alongside her daggers. She then grabbed two of the guns that the men had, and strapped them across her back. Lastly, she grabbed an ear piece that one of the men had, and put it in her ear so she could hear if anyone was trying to reach out to the guards, and she could keep up on their whereabouts.
Electra then started running, and she was not going to look back.
