Actually Christmas Eve! YAY!
Chapter 43
"What time is it?" Athena asked, peering out the window again.
"Calm yourself Athena. They'll be here soon enough." Said Medea, her sister; who was sitting calmly sitting.
"They were suppose to be here nearly two hours ago."
"They probably just ran into some bad weather, now stop worrying so."
Alex woke to find every inch of her body in pain. She was lying on the ground; the snow was slowly seeping through her robes and making her shiver.
Nothing was making sense at the moment. Last thing she could remember was flying with Severus and then… something started to pull against them… Now she was lying in the snow.
Slowly she gathered the strength to stand. Looking around she saw Sev's broom starting to get covered by snow, but no Severus. That's when she noticed them… footprints and what looked like something large being pulled through the snow.
Alex picked up the broom and started to follow the prints. As she walked through the cold she noticed how dark the forest was, the wind was beginning to blow fiercely.
Suddenly Alex heard an all to familiar voice. "Where are you going dear girl?" She fell down just as the voice finished speaking.
"You know you can't escape me. Besides, you wouldn't leave behind your precious Severus, now would you?"
"You bastard!" Alex suddenly screamed. "Why don't you show yourself?! After all, it's been so long!" She continued to scream. "Couldn't just let us be could you! Life was becoming too simple for them, was that it? Needed some children killed or a woman to take advantage of!"
"Calm yourself woman, you'll do yourself a mischief." The voice said, laughter and amusement present in his voice.
"Why don't you show yourself? Faceless bastard! So powerful, yet brought down by a mere infant! Where are you?"
"Right here." He said appearing behind her, before she could turn around to face him she was hit by the crucius curse. The pain knocked her to the ground, her body twitched with pain. "That'll teach you to keep your mouth shut!" He grinned evilly.
Suddenly the group of Death Eaters parted and Severus was thrown out next to Alex. "Not the brightest girl is she?" Voldemort laughed. "Now… what to do with the two of you? Perhaps Malfoy will have some ideas on teaching your woman to… keep quiet." He laughed again, grinning down at Severus who was trying to rouse Alex.
Should have apparated, Severus thought to himself.
Well that's all for this, thanks for the review ThouandI! Happy Holidays to you and to everyone!
