Day Five - 9:42pm
"Yes my lord." He was standing facing her in the wide circle around Voldemort. It was their third meeting that week. Voldemort had sensed a traitor in their midst, he was advising people to find out who and kill them, or better yet. Bring him to him so he could kill them. He walked around the circle talking animatedly about what he would do to the traitor while the others laughed quietly. He stopped in front of him and stared intently at his mask covered face. "Severus.. do tell us what you would do to him if in fact he was caught?" He looked down at thought about the most painful thing he could think of. "I.. would.. curse him endlessly with his own wand." It was a lousy answer but it seemed to put Voldemort off on a good mood for a while.
They were all gathered outside, talking to one another about the people they tortured, the families they broke apart. He stood there, waiting for her by the porch pillar. "you seem very distracted tonight Severus." Lucius Malfoys annoyingly low drawl carried to him from the other side of the porch. "I'm distracted every night Lucius, point being?" He was in no mood to shout sarcastic comments back and forth. It was the fifth day in what seemed to be a marathon of forever. He had to get back to add not even half of the ingredience at exactly 10 o clock. Where was she? "Severus I.." she started but when she caught site of Lucius she stopped and nodded in his direction. She hated him since her Hogwarts years. "We must be going now." They walked to the end of the path and Lucius called out. "You should know not to get caught up in her kind Severus." By her kind he meant muggle born. It was this exactly that made her the most cautious out of them all, Voldemort only held her in the circle because of what she had accomplished over the years. She wasnt proud of her reputation, killing her own kind.. That hurt worst of all.
He wanted to curse him, he even raised his wand but she had grabbed his arm and apparated back to his office. He stood facing his mirror his wand raised at his own reflection. "Why did you do that?" he stared into his own eyes, it seemed his reflection was asking him more so then he was to her. "Because you would have gotten both of us killed." "It's going to happen in the long run I dont see why your worried about it." only one of us is going to die in the long run severus... haven't you figured that out yet? She waited patiently as he added the ingredience, she couldnt hold off her mission any longer. She had to do it but how. She couldn't do it now.. the potion wasnt ready.. It would betray him completely... but... Oh she should just tell him.. He would understand he might even be able to transfer her mission to someone else.. she couldn't do it.
"Severus...I need to tell you something." He tilted his head slightly in her direction not taking his eyes off the steaming cauldron that was sending out white and gold poufs of smoke. " I have a mission and... I have to do it but I don't want it.." "We all have missions and we all must obey them.. especially us... Lucius already suspects something.." he closed the book and stirred the potion in circles then in a straight motion. "But severus.. I can't --" He thought her stronger then this why was she backing out on her mission it couldn't be anything out of the ordinary. Torture of a few people then let them go.. it wasn't that hard. " Just do your mission the best you can.. the Dark Lord will understand..." He looked at her through the cauldron steam. Her Waist length black hair seemed to drape her in a second black cloak. She looked worried.. and scared. Not her normal air before going on a mission. " after all.." he said with a playful tone. " Your the only girl in the circle.." She looked up and gave a skeptical smirk. "what about Bellatrix?" He laughed a little and walked around to her putting his arm around her. "Like I said... Your the only girl..."
