Chapter 10: Obsession
She was fifteen the first time she heard of Him. (People still spoke His name then, but only in hushed whispers.)
She was eighteen when she received His mark on her arm. (It burned, but she didn't scream.)
She was nineteen when she decided she was in love with Him. (Even though she knew He could never love her.)
She was twenty-one when she married Rudolphus Lestrange. (It was what her parents wanted.)
She was thirty when He disappeared. (She thought she would go mad with grief.)
She was thirty-one when she was imprisoned for trying to find Him. (She still thinks she could have found Him, if she hadn't been.)
She was forty-three when He freed her. (Her mind was gone by then.)
She was forty-five when she died for Him. (He followed her soon after.)
She searches for Him now, but cannot find Him, no matter how hard she tries. (Maybe there really is a special Hell just for Him.)
Author's Note: I'm putting the finishing touches on the next batch of chapters. The next one should be up in a day or two. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
