THE SHADOWED DIVIDE
By Rune Scriptor
Disclaimer: all characters created by J.K. Rowling, etc. etc. blah.
Summary: a very short stream of consciousness piece between two characters; I am sure you can guess who the first one is.
THE SHADOWED DIVIDE
I cast shadows.
I chase them all with my eyes, man or woman, until I run them into the ground.
I have no choice. This is who I am; it isn't my decision, it never was.
I just am.
I cast shadows.
I chase them all, man or woman, until I am close enough to capture, or, if necessary, make the kill.
I made this choice. This is who I have become; it has always been my decision.
I am.
I am vicious.
I walk the thin line between betrayal and loyalty, evil and safety.
I do what I can, and sometimes what I shouldn't.
I let them hate me.
I make them hate me.
I am merciful.
I know where I stand. There are no lines to be crossed.
I do what I must. There is nothing else.
I do not hate the ones I hunt.
I know they must hate me.
I was a Death Eater.
I am an Auror.
I am.
