One cold morning, Severus woke up with a start, he quickly turned to his left to see Jackie, but she wasn't there.
Where is she? Sky!
He jumped out of bed and ran to Sky's room, he sighed, there was a note.
Dear Severus,
Sky and I went to Hogsmead to buy some things that we need, behave, we'll be back in an hour,
Love,
Jackie and Sky
Severus smiled and walked back to his bedroom, but for some strange reason, he still felt uncomfortable. Then he screamed, grasping his left forearm, he slid down the wall, holding on to his arm with all his might, trying not to Apparate, even though he couldn't because of the Hogwarts rule. Then he heard a voice in his head.
What did I tell you Severus? You should have taken better care of her you fool, I'm going to get you as well, just as soon as more of my loyal Death Eaters come forward.
"NO! JACKIE! SKY!" Severus yelled, but the pain was so overwhelming that he passed out, and was awakened hours later by Dumbledore. He quickly looked up at the Headmaster's face and knew what he came to tell him.
"Severus, I'm sorry, but," Dumbledore started, but Snape raised his hand, and then showed him the Dark Mark. Dumbledore nodded, he squeezed his shoulder.
"How?" Snape asked finally.
"Avada Kedavra," Dumbledore said softly.
"On both of them?" Snape asked, Dumbledore nodded.
"At the same time, they were walking towards Hogwarts when it happened, I'm sorry Severus," Dumbledore said. Snape nodded. Dumbledore left. Snape held back tears.
Damn him, damn him!
Snape took a very powerful sleeping potion and went to bed, so that way he wouldn't think, just yet.
He woke up in the middle of the night; his nightmares were too strong for his potion. He cursed, and walked to the window, Jackie's favorite spot, because she could see the lake, and this is where she would sing Sky to sleep every night.
Why, why her? Why me? I'm such an idiot, so many mistakes, so much confusion, I HATE YOU, do you hear me VOLDEMORT? I HATE YOU!
Severus screamed out loud, he looked down at his arm, at the Dark Mark. At the moment he wished he could have been there with Jackie and Sky. He wished that he could have saved them. He wished that he wasn't so curious to see how working with Lord Voldemort was. Because curiosity does kill the cat, but satisfaction may not always bring it back.
