Chapter One:

Teachers and Students

"You are more than ready for this," he said, voice as icy as ever. She stood there, looking at her reflection in the mirror as he stood behind her, his cold stare set on her.

She knew what she had to do and she was ready. She was born for this and she wanted nothing more than to make him proud. She wanted to show him that she was everything that he had hoped for and more.

"My dear," he slowly continued on, "if you complete the task, you know what will happen right?" She didn't say anything, just waited for him to continue. "And if you don't-"

"I know." She said in a low voice. She was fully aware that if she didn't do as she was told, he would not just kill her, but torture her until she was begging for death. He had been training her for a moment like this for over eighteen years and she was finally about to bring honor to her masters name. Her gaze in the mirror dropped down to her wrist. She knew that after tonight, it would be covered by the Dark Mark, and she would finally have the respect that she deserved.

She examined herself in the mirror. She was a very petite girl, standing at a little over 5 feet tall. She was dressed in all black, her hair was back in a slick ponytail so not a strand covered her face, because that was the way he liked it. Her master was the only family she had ever known and he had been, in her opinion, decent. He was tough on her, but she knew he was just getting her ready for battle. He taught her just about everything he knew. She was well aware of the fact that she could successfully take on any Death Eater, and make them beg for death. She had never actually killed anybody, but her master had told her that it was the greatest rush in the world and she wanted nothing more than to feel that rush. Her gaze fastened on the man towering behind her and stayed there for what seemed like hours before he spoke again.

"Do you feel like you are ready?" He said expectedly. She knew what her answer had to be. Had she said no, he would tell her that she was useless and would instantly throw some sort of curse on her that she wasn't allowed to defend. She was taught to never, under any circumstances, raise her wand at him, and she never has.

"Yes. I wanted this moment to come ever since you started training me. I…" she started, her eyes hard, showing no visible emotion. "I won't let you down. I know a lot is riding on my performance tonight. You have trained me well and I want nothing more than to help rid the world of.. unworthy people." He seemed at ease with her response. He put a hand on her shoulder. His touch wasn't a cold one, nor was it loving, just a touch.

"Now that's what I like to hear. Shall I go over the plan again?" Before she even so much as nodded, he continued on, telling her what needed to be done. She didn't, however, pay attention because she knew 'the plan'. She knew it so well that she could recite it in her sleep. Instead, she focused on the hand that was resting lazily on her shoulder. What did that touch mean? Was it love? No, it couldn't be love. He had told her that it didn't exist, and she believed everything he said. He was still talking, but had no idea that she wasn't paying any attention to him. She tuned in just as he was finishing.

"… Do not duel anybody else, only your target. Find him, kill him, and get out of there. Whatever you do, you must kill him." There was no plan B. There was only one plan and she knew that Azkaban was probably a better and safer place for her than coming back to him with her duty unfulfilled.

"And if anybody gets in my way?" He look at her dumfounded, realizing that she had just been dazing off.

"Have you not been paying attention to the plan?" he said, accentuating the last two words. His voice was slightly louder than before and she could sense the anger without even looking into his cold, bleak eyes. "Simply kill them. Don't waste any dueling on anybody else. I'm warning you, if you don't do everything according to plan I will-"

"I know." She said shortly, eyes on the ground.

"Don't be scared. They will be able to sense it. He will be able to sense it and we cannot have that now can we?"

"No." There was a quiet knock at the door, followed by the entrance of one of the Death Eaters. She recognized him as a man named Mercer, a coward who probably only joined her masters side in hopes of escaping a horrid death. They had crossed paths a few times, and she was sure that he would never mess with her again after what she did with him. Everytime she saw him, he wittingly avoided all contact with her.

"My Lord, we are ready. Everything is set and is going according to plan. We should be able to take off in a half hours time." Mercer's eyes jumped between the two people in the room, fear embedded within them.

"Do the others know?" she heard her master ask.

"Yes. Everybody is at their posts and ready for departure."

"Good, very good. Leave us be Mercer." Without even a second glance at either of them, Mercer was out the door. "Are you clear with the plan now," her master stated coldly, anger still present in his tone. She simply nodded. "Good. Now get yourself ready." He was walking to leave her chamber, but turned right before he reached the door. "I know you can do this. Just remember to get back here safely after the task is completed. Do not wait for anybody else. You are of great value to me." He lingered for a moment, making soft (or as soft as his cold eyes could get) eye contact as to tell her that he was sincere in saying this.

When he finally left, she returned her gaze into the mirror. She was ready. She knew it and there was no room for failure, not with her master. Make one mistake and your as good as dead. She had to make him proud. The completion of her task would take her master one step closer to domination and power. 'Eliminate the Enemy' is what her master always told her and that was what she had to do. Those muggle and mudblood lovers were standing in her masters way and she vowed to eliminate all of them, because that would make him proud. With one last glace in the mirror, she turned to leave her chamber. She knew that in a few hours time, she would be an official Death Eater, and she wanted nothing more than just that.

"Is everyone aware as to where we will be Apparating to?" she heard Vince Lennox, one of the Head Death Eaters, call out. There was about thirty-five people going on this operation, but she knew that of all thirty-five people, she had one of the most important missions. "We will be leaving in five minutes time."

"Everybody be sure to stay to his or her own assignment," came the voice of her master. She did not miss the glance he sent her. Just as she was about to Apparate, she felt a heavy hand on her shoulder. Turning around, she came face to face with the man who had raised her ever since she was an infant. "Remember what I said earlier," he said, and she knew exactly what he was referring to. Death was in her future if she didn't complete the task he had set for her. "This man is showing very promising qualities as a potential threat to me. You are ready. I wouldn't send you out there if you weren't."

"I will kill him. My Lord, I vow to make all of those muggle lovers sorry for even as much as thinking of defying and speaking against you." She said this with complete confidence, and she saw in his facial expressions that he believed her.

"That's what I like to hear. You know how great of an asset you are to me?" She nodded and let a barely-visible smile dance across her lips. He told her that all of the time, and she liked to hear it. "Make sure to get back here after your task is completed. Now go before you're late." She stepped a couple steps away, held up her wand, and thought of her destination. "And Lily," she turned around at the sound of her name, "do not come back here without killing James Potter."
