~*~The Ceremony~*~
"So, we have some new Death Eaters. Ten in all." Snarled Voldemort, "We have to put them to the test. Don't we, Kat?"
"Yes, we must see if they are loyal enough to be one of us. First, all of you must tell us your name and reason for becoming a Death Eater." Kat says in a cold tone.
All the new recruits look at each other with pale faces. 'They are not ready for this' Kat thinks, 'Sad, really. Who would actually want to throw away their life like this?' She grins to herself. 'They have no idea of what they are getting into.'
The first steps forward and says, "I am Lilian McKlaye. I want to avenge my father's death." She takes her place back in line and another steps forward.
"Peter Pettigrew at your service. I want respect."
Kat steps towards him. "I know you. You are friends with the Potters, no doubt?" Her eyes are cold and her voice colder as she stares at the scrawny man in front of her.
"The Potters?" Voldemort rounds on him, "Your are a weakling! How could you ever help us?!"
"Voldemort, stop. I have an idea of what he could do for us." Everyone stares at her in shock. "Get back in line, Pettigrew. Well, who's next? Why aren't you talking yet?"
The ceremony of trials and loyalty continued as four died and only two passed all tests. The other four were sent home as back-ups.
"Well, well, well. Peter Pettigrew passed all tests, did he? Well, that is a surprise. Good job Pettigrew, but there is still one more thing you have to do. It is the last test. The pain test. Are you to have yourself signified as one of us?" Voldemort raised a brow, "Are you truly good enough to be one of us?" Pettigrew shook his head yes. "Well, then, we shall see. Lucius! Bring me the burner. Kat, draw the Mark on his left arm. Then, do the girl's interrogation and then her Mark."
"Certainly, Master. Right away, sir." Lucius said as he was walking away towards the Manor.
"Sure, whatever." Kat said as she pulled out a red permanent marker.
As she walked over to Pettigrew, Voldemort said, "Be sure to hurt him to show him what and open wound feels like."
She grabs his left arm and draws the Dark Mark symbol on his left upper arm. Then, she walks over to the girl and pulls her off the side to her mother's grave.
"How long will you stay loyal to the Dark side?" she said in an almost sympathetic tone.
"As long as I have to." she answered.
"Why are you coming to the Dark side? Why throw away the good life? You have no idea how bad it is to live here." she blurted out.
She sighed and said, "This is the only way I could avenge the death of my people."
Kat took her left arm and drew the Dark Mark symbol and sent her off to see Lucius. She sat there for a minute, thinking about her mother. 'Damn,' she thought, 'Why am I a Death Eater?'
