The forbiddon forest seemed oddly quiet, though for the circumstances perhaps alot of noise would have been best. Lily walked through the brush unheard by the circle of Death eaters. In the center was a man with a snake like face. But her attention was not on him. At the vile man's feet was a still body covered in blood and marred with bruises

"Zeke." Lily whispered holding the necklace in her hand still. Taking another deep breath Lily walked to the edge of the circle.

"Ahh the lady of the hour. I believe this," Voldemort motioned down to Zeke, "belongs to you." Lily nodded. A man went to grab her but Lily was faster and knocked him backwards. Every wand was drawn but Lily kept hers by her side as she walked forward to stand in front of the Dark Lord. "What makes you think I will not kill you and him at the same time?" Lily stared up at him.

"I don't." She said honestly. Voldemort smiled as if she amused him. He walked in a circle around her with his wand out.

"I shall send your lover back to the castle. Wormtail take him to the traitors and come back swiftly." A short, bald man came forward and hefted Zeke over his shoulder. Wormtail took off with Zeke into the forest.

"Master why can't we play with him?" Bellatrix asked confused. At this voldemort chuckled. He stopped in front of Lily and placed the wand tip at her throat smiling as she didn't flintch.

"Becuase I like this toy much better." Voldemort looked into Lily's eyes. He was hit with a thick green wall of vines. No matter how hard he tried he could not get into her mind. Angered he cursed her. "Crucio!" Lily fell to the ground and shook under the powerful spell but would not scream out. Lily bit her lip so hard she tasted the bitter metallic blood in her mouth. Moments before darkness over came her Lily thought, "At least he is safe. For him I would die."

Meanwhile outside of the forest Snape knelt in the same spot he had been or the last half hour while Poppy healed Zeke. He stared into the dark forest, the shield still up. "What would you do to save her?" A voice came from behind him. Without looking at Albus he answered.

"I would die for her."
