God

She kneels at his feet. Her eyes watch the ground and her hair veils her face. As he reaches down to brush it softly from her eyes, she can feel her heart pick up speed. Her blood is racing, her face is flushed. She can hardly believe that she is so close to him.

She takes a deep breath in an attempt to disguise her anxiety. She thinks that he must be able to hear her heart thumping against her chest.

No, she knows that he can hear it. He can hear everything, he is all-powerful.

She is almost too terrified to look up. Does she deserve to gaze upon him? But he places two long, graceful fingers under her chin and slowly tilts her face toward him.

She meets his eyes and gasps. They are a brilliant ruby red. She feels heat shoot through her body.

His features are inhuman. His face is smooth, his hair is jet black, his nose is slitted like a snakes. He is beautiful.

"My God," she says.

"Yes," he replies, "exactly."

He smiles at her a smile full of power. She shakes with desire.

"You have successfully joined our ranks," he says, "you are now a Death Eater."

She cannot speak for joy. She just remains kneeling at his feet, feeling his cool touch against her skin.

She looks down again, thinking that she can feel the pleasure radiating from him. There is silence throughout the room for several moments. He is examining her, she can tell. And she thinks that he likes what he sees.

She is flying.

"You may rise," he says.

She does, on legs that feel as if they are going to collapse. And she looks at him with shining devotion.

She is a Death Eater. She will destroy Death. She will help him fix this fucked-up world and cleanse it of filth.

He chuckles and the sound reverberates through her body. He has withdrawn his hand and she feels empty without it there.

Now she cannot look away from him. He is so perfect. He is their dark angel, bringing justice to the world. He is their saviour, delivering them from the unworthy.

He is their God. He has made them what they are, and he will bring down those that oppose him.

She loves him fully. She will throw herself at his feet. She will enforce his rule. She will die for him if he asks.

Because he will offer her salvation.

She wants him to know of her dedication. When she looks into his eyes, though, she cannot speak.

He smiles and she knows that he understands. He understands everything.

She is his, for now and forever.
