Hearing the voice ice cold as death it's self. Snape fought the urge to run and decided that if he where going to die then he would die as a man and stood his ground. He stood proudly like his father always told him to while the feeling of being watched washed over him.

"Sssssseverus" the cold voice said again "Way aren't you running from me your fool"

Still looking proud Snape shook off his nerves. What was he to be afraid of? He had spied against Voldemort when he was at the top of his power. Besides fear was for the weak who couldn't defend themselves. He on the other hand was more then capable of defending himself. He might have had Albus Dumbledore's or even Voldemort's power but his magic was far from weak.

"Because." Snape heard his voice shaking and decided and calm himself before speaking again. "Because I'm not afraid of you."

"That will change Sssssseverus…. That will change" from the corner of his eye Snape could make out a shadowy black figure moving gracefully though the trees. "I am going to make you scream Sssssseverus." A sudden smirk came across Snape's face and his eyes suddenly glowing with defiance "I'm not going to give you the pleasure"

Like a sudden wind Voldemort appeared in front of him with his blazing red eyes twinkling with cruelty. Unfortunately for Snape, Voldemort already had his wand out and pointed at the chest of the other man before he could react. All Snape could hear was his thoughts running though his head but he soon heard a word he know was going to be said. "Crucio". But Snape stood with his head down and his finger nails digging into his palm trying to fight off the surge of pain.

After several more rounds of the blasted curse Voldemort disappeared to contemplate what his next move would be.
