Author's notes: If you don't know who I created, and stuff, have a look at
previous chapters, it's all explained. I think that's about it for notes
on this chapter, other then my usual notes to reviewers (but seeing as I
had no reviews for this past chapter, there's none of those either, lol),
so on with the story! Don't forget to review at the end!
Chapter 5: Threats
Severus returned home late the next morning.
"Selina?" He called out when he entered the house.
"Selina!" He called out again when he received no response, a little
louder this time. When he again received no response he headed off to
Selina's room, thinking she might still be asleep. He found the room
empty, but discovered a note on her bed during a quick scan of the room.
He picked up and began to read, thinking it might be from her. However,
what he read worried him. The note read:
"Severus,
I have taken Selina to Voldemort on his request. He asked that I tell you
that if you wish to see her alive again you are to come and re join us.
-Lucius"
Severus grew pale at the thought of what might be happening to Selina at
that very moment, and he immediately set off again to try and get her back.
Selina awoke to the sound of the door opening and a very angry person
entering the room. She sat up and turned on the light to see who it was
and found that Voldemort himself was paying her another visit.
"I hear you still refuse to start over with Eric." Voldemort started.
Selina nodded in response.
"Well, that causes a problem now that you know I am his father. We simply
cannot have you running around and telling everyone about it." Voldemort
continued.
"I've known about it since just before I ended the relationship, and I
haven't told anyone about it yet, nor do I plan to. I'm not like that."
Selina replied.
"Well, as you may already know, I don't trust people easily. You are no
different. Seeing as there seems to be no reason for you not to start over
with Eric, I have decided to give you a choice. Either you do re start the
relationship, and therefore never tell anyone about who he is or you will
die." Voldemort said.
"Let me get this straight- you're saying that if I don't' start over with
Eric, you'll kill me?" Selina asked fearfully.
"Exactly." Voldemort replied with an evil grin. "I'll give you until this
time tomorrow to make your decision. If you do not have one by then, then
you obviously need to think it over too long, and are unwilling to re
start." He finished, leaving the room and slamming and locking the door
behind him.
Selina just sat there and let the tears fall.
"Father!" She called out needingly. "Where are you when I need you?"
Eric had spent the morning just walking around the house. He paused
at Selina's door, having heard her call out to her father. He entered the
room.
"Selina? You alright?" He asked. Selina nodded, her tears still falling.
"I'm fine." She said, her voice shaky. Eric walked over, sat down beside
her, and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a hug.
"No you're not. I know you better then that. What's wrong?" He asked.
Selina found herself crying into his shoulder and allowing him to hug her
for the first time since they had broken up.
"Are you really that desperate to get me back?" She asked in response.
Eric went silent for a moment, rubbing her back a little to try and calm
her.
"My father has talked to you already then?" He asked. Selina nodded.
"Selina, I'm so sorry, this is all my fault. My father is doing this
because I made the mistake of falling so deeply in love with you and
didn't' tell you the truth. Then I haven't been able to forgive myself for
lying to and loosing you like that since. Now my father believes that you
are the only person I'll ever love and claims that he will do anything to
make you love me again. I swear I didn't' ask him to do any of this
though, I hope you understand at least that. To tell the truth, I don't'
think I deserve you anymore." Eric said. Selina removed her head from his
shoulder.
"I do. I didn't think that you would have gone to that extent just to get
me back." She said.
"May I ask what my father said?" Eric asked.
"He said he couldn't' trust me to keep your identity a secret, and that in
order to prove to him that I could, I have to either start the relationship
over with you again or die. He has given me until tomorrow to make a
decision." Selina replied.
"I had hoped he wasn't going to actually do that." Eric replied. "Well,
seeing as you're calm now, I'll leave you to try and make a decision. I'll
understand if you don't' want to start over." He finished, getting up and
heading towards the door. Selina was silent as he left the room and locked
the door once more.
