Chapter 5
Tethys was eating lunch quietly trying to make her self-inconspicuous. She really hated large groups but lunch wasn't a grand affair so she could relax a little.
Snape sat between the two sisters, whatever it was that happened in the hall between them seemed to still be hanging over them like a dark cloud. They hadn't even looked at each other once. He looked up as the mail came flying through the windows.
There was one owl that stood out then all the others; for it was all black, meaning it was a rare and expensive one. It landed right in front of Tethys; it held a black letter in its beak. Snape gave the owl a piece of his lunch after Tethys took the letter. He knew where the letter had come from. He recognized the bird as being one of the Death Eater's prized possessions. Snape eyes turned into slits as he looked at her suspiciously, why was Voldemort sending Tethys a letter?
Tethys felt all the color drain out of her face. She opened the letter and found it was from the one person she desperately tried to forget all these years. The one person, when hearing what they were up against, that she feared it would be.
Snape watched her face. He saw shock and disbelief written there. She ate no more nor did she enter into any conversation Snape tried to bring up with her. She was lost in her own mind. Her own thoughts, and from the look in her eyes, they were not pleasant. Without even saying goodbye to anyone she got up and left the great hall.
Snape watched her leave out the front door and within minutes he was fallowing her silently. He watched her as she walked across the grounds of Hogwarts into the forbidden forest. He walked steadily faster to keep up with her. He knew if anything happened to her, both sides would kill him.
Hunter was waiting for her in the forest. Waiting to see if she would respond to his owl. He was quite amazed at this world he was brought into. His power was greater without the barrier to stop him, but to have HER with him again. Nothing, absolutely nothing could stop him from taking over this world.
Tethys was nervous but she wouldn't let it show. Just as you wouldn't let an angry dog know for it will sense weakness and attack for no reason, other then it feels supreme.
She walked through some trees and there he was. His dark wavy hair, his dark sensuous looks. He was wearing all black. Though he very rarely did. He went for the more seductive clothes from high fashion stores. She knew what he was doing and it wasn't going to work. She had grown up and there was nothing he could do to change that. Sensing her presence, she saw his cool eyes turned toward her as she entered the little glen. He smiled at her, but she didn't return it. She just stood there looking at him seeing the man she so desperately never wanted to see again.
Snape remained hidden behind some trees. He was good at being unnoticed when he wanted to. He stood there watching the two just stand there looking at each other. He felt this was not something he should interrupt. Then he heard Hunter speak to her. He didn't like the tone he used, and not wanting to admit the way he spoke to her, cut him to the core.
"Well, haven't we grown up," he purred seductively walking toward her. Tethys put her hand up to stop him. He stopped.
"I want nothing to do with you Hunter. I'm no longer the innocent naive child I once was. So leave off. The lines have already been drawn; we have both chose our own path. Nothing you can do will change that." Her voice was cold as ice. Her eyes were hard, and unyielding.
"Ohh, I can guarantee that it's not over yet," he came very lose to her, breathed on her neck and whispered non-too softly, "You were MINE once, you will be MINE AGAIN!"
She looked up at him with cold eyes. She finally realized she was not afraid of him. He did not entrance her, and she had no emotional attachment to him. She smiled menacingly at him. He was shocked when he saw her superior. But he wouldn't allow himself to believe she had no feelings for him. This had never happened before and he'd be damned if it ever did.
"Ohh, I don't think so Hunter," she smiled at him evilly as she walked away from him.
"YOU WILL BE MINE!" he yelled.
"No, Cerberus. Not this time!" She yelled back. "I'm my own person. I own my own soul, and nothing and no one will ever take it from me again!"
Again? The word kept running though Snape's mind. She knew this man that the dark lord had summoned which meant that he was from her world.
"Ohh aren't we miss golden light.. Don't forget you were evil once. And once one has been marked by the darkness, it will always remain. REMEMBER THAT! What will these people think when they find out what you really are?"
"And what is that Cerberus? A monster, like you? I never killed for sport. I did what had to be done, to cover up your sloppy mistakes!" she replied angrily.
"I don't think that mattered to your victims." He said smoothly.
"What do you want? So I can turn you down and get you the hell out of my life"
They just stood there looking coldly at each other. After a few minutes she turned to walk away. She was getting careless she should have known not to turn her back on him.
Within seconds he had her pined to a tree. Just happened to be the same tree Severus was hiding behind.
"Don't ever forget," Hunter hissed in her ear, "I will find you, no matter where you go, what you do, whom you're with. I WILL find you just to prove I can. You will NEVER be rid of me. I'm the darkness that runs through your soul. You cannot live without me!"
Snape was beyond livid, he wanted to hurt this man more then anyone he had ever met and for him that was saying a lot! But what got him the most, was he could not make himself known or even defend her! His secret as a spy must remain. But he had to find a way to stop him without giving away his presence.
"You do that Hunter," she said his name as if it left a bitter bad taste in her mouth, "And I swear that I will kill you. Do you know that there is one of the most brilliant potion masters up at the school right now? He has more dangerous potions then you can ever possibly imagine. It would be incredibly easy to steal some. I will find a way to feed it to you. Trust me on that!"
With that she pushed him off of her and stormed out of the forest. Leaving Hunter to fume over her defiance of him.
He suddenly smiled evilly to himself. He said out loud to no one at all, "I love it when she plays hard to get... get me hot!" and with that he was gone.
Snape stayed where he was for a few moments taking it all in. she knew Hunter, she was once with Hunter. But most amazingly she was once evil like himself, and left it for a better life, just like he did. As he walked up to the castle another thought hit him. Did she really think he was brilliant?
