Chapter 2:
Branded
"Aveda Kedavra!"
A flash of green light erupted and filled the room and a man fell dead on the floor. Sirius looked from the lifeless body to Snape, who had lowered his wand.
"You," Snape said and pointed at another cowering man in the room. The man whimpered and looked at the royal advisor. "Go and fetch some servants to clean this mess up," he ordered.
The frightened man bowed his head and quickly ran out if the room.
"Now Snape, was that really necessary?" Sirius asked.
Snape looked at his master and bowed his own head. "My apologies, my lord, but he was a mere servant who entered in on our meeting without first requesting permission. If you tolerate such insolence then it is bound to make your authority diminish."
"Yes, I see your point. But do remember, Snape, that I am the one with the authority," Sirius cautioned.
"Of course, my lord," said Snape as several servants rushed in and bowed and began to remove the dead body.
A few moments passed between them before Snape broke the silence. "So my lord, are you still suffering from boredom, or have you found something to keep yourself entertained. If so I'm sure that it has nothing to do with that buffoon Wormtail. I fail to see how you don't get the urge t o curse him to death."
"Why yes, Snape, I have found something to entertain myself with. It is the beast, Remus Lupin."
Snape raised an eyebrow. "Sirius," Snape said, using his master's name instead of any title, "I found that beast many things, but entertaining was not one of them."
"You see, Snape, that's the thing about you. You've got no sense of adventure. I can't wait for James to arrive. That will be something else to take away from my boredom.," Sirius finished with a smile.
Snape rolled his eyes. The movement did not go unnoticed.
"Something wrong, Snape?" Sirius asked. "I would hate to have to settle another ridiculous argument between the two of you." Sirius' voice had changed from amused to serious. Many times had had to play the referee between the arguments between Sererus Snape and James Potter. He did not like choosing between his best friend and his advisor.
"Nothing at all…my lord," Snape added reluctantly.
"Good!" chimed Sirius, who had taken his amused tone back up.
"Well then my lord, if you have no further use for me then I will prepare for our guests," Snape said with one last bow before he left.
Sirius let out a long and well-deserved sigh. All day he had been talking with Severus about preparations for the upcoming meeting. Just as they were finishing two servants had come in for something and Snape killed one of them. Oh well, no real loss there.
Sirius glanced over at the wooden door that concealed his pet. A smile appeared on his face as he gazed at it. It had only been two days and he already wanted to go back into that room and play with him again.
Sirius lifted himself from his throne and walked to the door. He waved his wand and the door creaked itself open; he let himself in. Once inside the room he waved his wand and the candles lit themselves and brought light to the dark room.
In the center sat the cage housing the creature known as Remus Lupin. He was lying on the floor sleeping gently. Sirius watched him as his chest heaved up and down slowly. He looked so cute while he slept, even if he was a monster.
BANG!
The loud sound woke Remus with a start. He looked up at Sirius who had his wand, which had produced the loud noise, pointing directly at him. "Time to wake up," he said in a mock voice.
Remus growled at him.
Sirius laughed. "Why so angry, my pet?" he asked. Remus only stared up at him. "Hn, still sulking over the other day?" Sirius was not sure but he thought that he saw Remus smile for a mere second. Ignoring it he stuck his hand through the bars again and placed his hand on top of Remus' head and started to pet him. "You're so much fun to play with," he said.
This time there was no mistaking it: Remus had definitely smiled, and he wasn't hiding it. Before Sirius could react Remus spoke.
"Think you're my master, Sirius?" Remus asked.
Sirius was staring at Remus in a fashion that would be considered unbecoming of his royal status.
Remus' smile widened. "Why so surprised, Sirius? Oh, did you really believe that I was just some stupid creature? Sorry to disappoint you…master," he said sarcastically.
Sirius quickly regained his composure. So the beast was intelligent. Everything new surprise about Remus gave Sirius a rush of excitement. To break the will of something like this!
Now it was Sirius' turn to smile. "So, you CAN understand me, eh? I knew that you were smarter than you pretended, but I never imagined that you had this level of intelligence."
Remus chuckled softly. "I am fully aware of what you thought, and still think, of me. But I assure you that none of that will matter when you are dead."
Once again Sirius had another look of bewilderment on his face that was unbecoming - he was completely unprepared for that. "So…, now you have enough courage to threaten me? You've gotten pretty bold for something that can be killed at the pointing of my wand!"
This time Remus let out a much louder laugh. "You aren't going to kill me! You went on and on yesterday about how you would attempt to break me," Remus said. He looked Sirius dead in the eye and spoke, this time more seriously. "I dare you to try it."
"Hmm," Sirius sighed, entertained. "You've got a lot of pride and arrogance. In many ways we aren't so different, you and I. But always remember: you are mine. I hold your very existence in the palm of my hand," Sirius said, holding his hand out in front of the bar to emphasize his point, "and if I choose to I could crush that existence merely by closing it."
"You are nothing more than a spoiled prince, and when I get out of here I will rip to pieces. These bars cannot hold me forever, Sirius, and I have dealt with much worse than you."
Remus though that Sirius was about to leave, but he was surprised to see him point his wand at the cage door. Sirius whispered something inaudible and suddenly the door flew open. Remus stud all the way up, but before he could move he lost control of his body. His arms fully extended outward and he could not move his legs. The reason for this was Sirius pointing his wand at Remus, using magic to restrain him. Sirius walked inside of the large cage and stopped right in front of Remus.
"Well, beast," said Sirius, who cocked his head, dog-like. "The door is open. Aren't you going to leave?"
Sirius looked into Remus' eyes and saw anger reflected in them. He grinned cruelly.
"Well now, all that talk about how these bars won't hold you and you can't even manage to walk out when the door is open in front of you. How pathetic! Oh, what's the matter? Are you mad at master Sirius?" he asked in mock tone.
Remus growled deeply. SLAP!
Sirius brought his free hand back to himself after backhanding Remus across the face. Remus slowly turned his head back to look at his master, utter shock and rage radiating off his being and reflected in his face. Blood trickled from his lip,
"Not so smart-mouthed now, eh?" Sirius asked.
"How dare you, you fucking—"
Remus was cut off as his head recoiled when Sirius' hand came near his face again. This time Sirius grabbed his chin and turned his face back to his own.
"You know something?" he asked. "I don't know what it is about you, but I find myself attracted to you. Oh, don't look so surprised. I am a king, and I can always get whatever I want without question. And I just might want you. Be grateful, even if it ends badly for you, at least you'll be serving the greatest in the wizard lord. Oh, do I detect a flicker of fear? Perhaps it won't be so hard to break you after all!" Sirius said.
By now all the color had drained from Remus' face. "I swear that when I do get out of here I kill you slowly. You will suffer until you draw your last breath. Only then will I be satisfied."
SLAP!
"Silly creature. Something like you should know how to talk to its master. I must punish such rudeness, after all.
Sirius used his free hand to pick up Remus' arm. Sirius pointed his wand at it and the sleeve of his ragged and dirty shirt ripped open, exposing his wrist. "Every single day you will remember that I am you master, your lord, the one who controls your life. For as long as you live you will see my mark and you shall know your place."
Sirius touched the tip of his want on the skin of Remus wrist.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Remus screamed in agony.
Burning into his arm was the letters 'SB'. The pain was horrible as Sirius branded the creature as his property. Still completely immobile Remus could do nothing to stop or ease the hurt. Finally it was over and Sirius removed his wand from his wrist.
"Every time you see that mark," Sirius said, taking Remus' chin into his hand again and looking into his face, "you will see my face."
Sirius leaned his face closer to Remus and licked the blood from his lip. "My pet," he blew into his ear. Then he kissed him, long and deeply. He thrust his tongue inside of Remus' mouth and licked the inside, tasting more blood. If Remus could he would bite down with his sharp fangs and bite that dammed tongue off, but Sirius spell held strong and kept him from doing so.
Sirius stopped the kiss and looked into his pet's eyes: where there was first amusement and arrogance there was now anger and hatred. Sirius only grinned.
"When I break you, my pet, I'm going to fuck you…right in this cage. Then maybe I will let you go. But my mark will remain with you no matter where you go, no matter what you do. You belong to me, body and soul. You have been branded, and you will always be a mere beast for my enjoyment."
Sirius turned and walked out of the cage. He waved his wand at the door and it closed with a BANG. As soon as it did the spell on Remus ended and he was free to move. He grabbed his wrist, attempting to relive some of the burning sensation.
"I will send a servant to give you some food. After all, I can't have you starve to death, now can I?" asked Sirius as he left the room, the wooden door closing behind him.

Several hours had passed since that incident and it had left Remus in his cage alone and in the dark again. He was still holding his burnt wrist and involuntarily tears were spilling from his eyes to the floor of the cage. It was so unfair. How much abuse would he have to suffer just because he was different. He had lead a hard and terrible life. Would it never end?
Remus looked up. This time it was enough. He had had enough! He would fight back unlike last time. He meant what he had said. He would find a way out oh these bars and out of that collar. He would not allow everything to happen the way it did before.
Remus glared at the door.
If the world saw him as a heartless monster then that was what he would become. And he would kill Sirius Black, and he would make sure that he will suffer until the end. It was time for retribution.
