A/N: I know that I have another story, but it is already written down, along with the sequel. The third book is in process.
This is a new story with Severus Snape and an Original Character. AU, SO BEAR WITH ME!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the original character.
Full Summary: Seventeen year old Severus Snape finds himself being drawn deeper into his death eater life. A young girl by the name of Emma Leigh Syntex moves into his life after a transfer to Hogwarts in his seventh year. The closer they become, the more secrets that are revealed about her life. And more complications than he bargained for.

Prologue: New Death Eater
Severus Snape found himself standing before the Dark Lord, Voldemort, with his friends. Having just turned sixteen, he and his friends decided that they were destined to join the new league of the Dark Lord's followers, also known as Death Eaters. The Death Eaters did whatever was commanded by the Dark Lord, or suffered the consequences.
Not knowing what he was getting him-self into; Severus hadn't hesitated when he was asked to join with his friends.
Now, here he stood, bloodied, battered, and weak from the torture he'd had to endure from one of the three steps of being accepted as a Death Eater. His head was held high, his posture flawless, showing no sign of the pain he felt. When the other Death Eaters kneeled, he did as well.
The Dark Lord chose him first.
Severus stepped forward and placed his left arm in the vise, showing no emotion as he endured the second step. He had learned at a young age that if you showed your pain, then someone would take more pleasure in the beating, torturing, or debasing you; just like his father had.
The knife burned his skin as it seared into his flesh, making the blood come out in a smooth, easy flow. The only sign of weakness he showed was the twitch in his mouth and the tight hold of his jaw. When it was done, the blood was cleared away and he was released from the vise to stand by as he watched his friends endure the same torture, their screams filling the room, ringing in his ears.
When all of them stood by, Lucius and Severus were congratulated on being strong enough to endure the pain like 'real' men.
When they left, they were each given an assignment that was meant specifically to test their loyalty to the Dark Lord.
Severus was unsure as to weather or not he could complete the third step. Because he and Lucius had endured the torture and Dark Mark so well, they were given the task of bringing a 'mudblood' before the Dark Lord and raping her until she was dead. Lucius had no doubt as to weather or not he could do it. Severus, however, had grown up with muggles because his father was a muggle. He knew each ad every one of the 'mudbloods' in the school. He wasn't sure he would be able to handle the task assigned to him.

Somehow, Severus had completed his task. Not knowing how he had done it, he simply nodded when the Dark Lord congratulated him and made him a real Death Eater by giving him his new robes and mask.
