Warning for... I don't know but I feel like there should be a warning. Bad thoughts maybe?
Bad Habit
I look around the room from behind my mask, playing the 'why are you a Death Eater?' game I amuse myself with when waiting on He-Who-Loves-The-Cruciatus-Curse-Way-To-Much. It's a good way to alleviate the boredom I often feel at these meetings. Most of the men and women here are oh so loyal to the cause, I find the whole thing rather sickening at times.
Seriously, what self respecting Pure-Blood kisses the hem of a Half-Blood with such reverence?
Of course I already know what you're thinking. You're thinking that I, Walden Macnair, do exactly the same thing. Well, let me tell you, you are wrong. I bow and scrape along with the rest of the saps here, but I do it for entirely different reason. I offer myself up to Voldemort, because he is as sadistic as I am. I like killing. I love killing. Murder is my hobby.
It's a bad habit really, but not one I have any intention to break. You see, I tried to break the habit when Potter got rid of Snake Face the first time, but my god, life got drastically boring very, very quickly. That's why I got a job as an executioner. It's not quite as fulfilling, killing animals is rather pedestrian after hearing the screams and pleas of human victims, but it served it's purpose.
The other Death Eaters, except possibly Bellatrix, she's a mad bitch, do it for entirely different reasons. Money, Power, Beliefs? I don't know, nor care really, take your pick. It'll likely be one of those reasons. They all completely believe that the Dark Lord is going to win them the war, is going to build them a better world to live in, yada, yada, yada.
Personally, I think that Potter is going to kick his behind straight to hell, but whatever. None of that matter's to me. I was born to be a killing machine, and he might be delusional, but Voldemort doesn't have deliver on his promise of victims. The screams fill my ear's and I feel alive. This is why I joined the Dark Lord, and it why I will continue to kiss his hem.
