Summary: Severus Snape has been caught by the Death Eaters for treason and
left in a dark cell to ponder his fate—or has he?
Notes: Part of the Severus Snape Fuh-Q Fest in response to tricky pairing
number 48: Mr. Ollivander and inspired by Ailei's story 'Firefly'.

I see nothing but the blackness.
Feel nothing
But the cold stone and the sting of my deceit.
It wells up like the bubbling streams in the forest,
But this I cannot see.
I only see the blackness.
Left here, alone, to ponder the punishment for my
Ways, my actions, can nothing help me?
I think I can remember something—something from
Long ago, he told me to betray them
Before they betrayed me.
Now it is too late, I sit here, alone, to wait
Awaiting my sentence.
They knew, the whole time, they knew
That I had deceived them.
Only a day after the mark was burned into my flesh,
Corrupting anything that I knew,
Concepts were turned awry...
Bitter, bitter
Beauty was turned corrupt,
Joy was turned to sorrow,
Life was turned to...Death.
Death
She awaits me, sweet welcoming Death.
How joyous, how...bitterly, joyously sorrowful it would be
To fall into the arms of Death.
She would enfold me in her dark embrace—but how do I know I am not dead
now?
So cold...so very, very cold.
And dark, why is it so dark?
He held me, told me I was beautiful, but now
I am alone, here to ponder
So alone, so cold
Dark
Bitter
Betray, betray...
But, betray what?
There is nothing left for me to betray, not now...not—
Light?
"Firefly!"
What light is this, in the cold darkness of Death?
Betray—"Firefly!"
You? But you can't be!
"Firefly!"
Here, with me?
"Firefly!"
Bitter—"Firefly!"
Cold—"FIREFLY!"
Face, eyes, limpid black pools of light.
Long, white hair, across my face
Lights up, a room?
Room?
Where?
Betray! I must betray!
"Yes, Firefly, hush. It will be all right. Hush."
But they knew!
"Yes,"
The Death Eaters kne—
Arms encircle me, strong, warm arms
They enfold me in light.
Close
Warmth
Heartbeat
Smell of—liquorice
Life
There is life in this place
Even the mark that corrupts the very thoughts of my
Mind cannot blacken that.
Betray, betray...
"Yes, you will...you have. You are safe now, my firefly."
Safe, now, with my Ollivander, now...
Safe
