Chapter 5
As the wand touched her skin, he began to mutter a spell that sent green sparks flying from the wand. Alex stifled a scream as the sparks burned into her arm, the skin burned and she could feel it searing into her.
Severus felt his chest tighten as he watched her face contort with pain. She looked over at him, he had to find the only woman in the world who could keep a look of love in her eyes while feeling the worse possible pain.
Finally the sparks stopped and her arm fell limply at her side. "Welcome my dear." Voldemort said with an evil tinge in his voice.
"Thank you Master." She replied icily. Severus wasn't sure if she was pretending or if she truly had decided that this was the path she wanted to follow.
Slowly the scene began to fade as the water in the pensive began to swirl. And like that he returned to the present. He knew that some day she'd remember what she had done... what she had done for him. And when she remembered she would remember the love that they had shared. Severus had no idea how close that time would be.
Right at that moment Alex stood trembling outside his door.
