Is this really necessary?

"Yes, now stay still or I'll body bind you in place. "

Sally-Anne kept her arm raised as the man settled down next to her and brought the tattoo gun against her armpit.

She watched curiously as he tattooed runes into her skin. The lettering was tiny and precise. When it was finished and her arm was lowered no one would see it. Sally-Anne had never really thought about getting a tattoo previously. Her armpit was not her first choice for one though.

Eventually it was finished the man put down the tattoo gun. Taking his wand he placed it again the runes and muttered the activation phrase.

Sally-Anne bit her lip to stop herself crying out. It wasn't as bad as a Cruciatus but worse than skelgro.

A new man entered the room. He spoke to her in Uzbek. "Hello Sakina Akgul Petrova. I will give you a moment to familiarise yourself to your new look then you will be leaving with me. You have a month of intense cultural learning before you begin your assignment.

Sally-Anne got up from the bed she had been lying on and headed to a mirror on the other side of the room. She stumbled slightly as she walked. The ground seemed a lot closer. When she got to the mirror she saw why. She had been expecting a new face and hair; she hadn't been expecting to have lost about five inches in height.

"Come Miss Petrova, there is a plane waiting for us. I need to clarify some things. I know you had an old identity but not what it is. Everyone who knows your old identity is on the other side of that door. When we leave this building you will not meet them again until you are recalled. Think of yourself as Sakina Petrova. You have training in Occulmacy use that it will help. Now I will help you to learn all the things you need to know. Then someone else will meet you and explain what your mission is. Come now."

Sally-Anne followed her new trainer out of the room and out of the St Petersburg base. Sakina Akgul Petrova landed somewhere else. A new life had begun.

A.N.

Yes it is really short. The next one is longer.

It also was going to be the last one until Seren Flaidd asked a simple question that sparked the next chapter.
