Take the plan, spin it sideways.
I.
Fall.
Without you, I'm Nothing.
Relief silently clouded his mind as he ran to her. She stumbled out onto the ground as her pack closed in around her. Snape ran and cursed two of them with the worst curses he knew. They stumbled back bleeding from their mouths and noses as they screamed in pain. He helped her to her feet and held on to her as she yelled to them. "Have you no brains! Can you not see what he was going to do with you once he got Dumbledore out of the picture! He was going to kill you all,"
"Lies!" Lucius Malfoy hissed as he drew his wand level with her throat. "What makes you so sure Lucius." Snape stepped level with his wand. The other members drew their wands level with his, Lucius only motioned for them to lower. He looked him straight in the eye. " What makes her so certain?" He had that pompous air about him, he made sure everyone knew he was going to be the one to finish off both her and Snape.
"He's dead now Lucius, you are free, all of you are. Is this not what you dreamed about?" Snape continued to shield her as she hid her wand behind his back, blood slowly trickled into her eye as she wiped it on his cloak. He glanced annoyed behind him yet there was a trace of relief. Lucius lowered his wand in thought. "What I dreamed Severus, is exactly what you dreamed 20 years ago. Power. Fame. Now we are nothing." Snape smirked, " If you were something while in his control it was nothing but a fool." Lucius raised his wand, "Why you little!" Snape pushed her backwards as they ran across the lot back into the alley from where he came.
"How many are left?" She asked as they jumped over more crates and pushed more in the way as the ran. " Let's see… oh about 5, crabbe and goyle slipped my radar. Mcnair, Lestrange, Nott, and Lucius are only left. Should be quiet easy." He said the last part rather sarcastically. "Glad to know you never panic." She panted and glanced behind her. She saw their shadows closing in on them. Snape quickly hid in a doorway and grabbed her as she ran passed him, unnoticed. "Glad to know you don't pay attention." She huffed and retorted but he quickly silenced her.
The dark figures ran passed but soon stopped no more then 10 feet from where they now hid. Snape peeked around and saw Lucius pace up and down the entrance annoyed. "Where are you? You filthy traitor." Snape slouched against the cold stone of the doorway. It was now or never, do or die. He looked at her; her eyes were wide in both panic and exhilaration. He quietly whispered his plan to her as they both readied themselves for their last and final mission.
They quietly held their Death Eater cloaks before them and cast a simple levitating charm. It looked as though someone was actually wearing them. Snape nodded to her. "On the count of three we send them out in the opposite way, once they run past we curse the hell out of them." She nodded and whispered. "While their backs are turned… sounds a little unfair." He gave an exasperated huff. "I just mean its not making it challenging anymore. You know how I love challenges Severus." He scoffed and counted. "One…two…three!"
Lucius paced back and forth, they had to be somewhere. The apparating sight wouldn't be ready for another 2 hours, how the hell did they escape when all they have been doing is going around in circles? Nott quickly grabbed Lucius' sleeve and yelled. "There they go!" They rushed over their obstacles chasing their false enemies. As soon as Mcnair passed their doorway they leapt out and said every curse they knew at them. Mcnair got hit with a Cruciatus curse and was sent pummeling to the ground in fits of pain, soon passing out. Snape hit Bellatrix with the famous killing curse. Something he had wanted to do since the day he met her. Nott was simply Imperiused into beating Lucius with his own cane. Snape looked at her with an odd expression. "Sorry… I thought it was funny." She quickly killed Nott as he was going to land another blow on Lucius' back.
Lucius fell gasping for breath as he looked up at them. Blood rushing from his nose, which he gracefully wiped clean as he tossed his silvery white hair behind him." So…" he panted. "You killed everyone… now what?" He stood up shakily and grabbed his cane from Nott's lose grasp. He straightened his cloaks indignantly. Snape stepped forward. "Now… I kill you." But before he could do anything his wand soared from his hand and landed with a clank behind Lucius. He turned around to see her pointing her wand at his throat. "What are you do-" her eyes… they were clouded over, her mouth was twisted into a grim satisfied smile. Beyond her shoulder he could see Crabbe and Goyle laugh as they held her like a puppet on a string.
"Leave him alone you two… Let me deal with him." He grabbed Snape by the hair and pushed him to the ground. His wand pointed ever so delicately over Snapes' heart as he whispered. "Fie my lord… Hell is murky…." Snape stared at him bewildered at first as Lucius grinned and stood up his wand not wavering from its place right above his heart. "Crucio!"
At first there was no pain, silence filled his ears and a pure golden light filled his mind. He felt like he was flying, above the alley way, beyond the abandoned lot, through the forest behind the manor. He was free, free from dying, free from living. Free to be lost in ever growing nothingness. But then he felt it, a heart gripping pain slowly squeezing his heart as he tried to breathe. Slowly twisting his stomach as he gasped for his beloved air. He tried with all his might to scrape away the invisible hands that were wringing his soul from his body. Lucius let up, obviously playing with him.
Snape gasped for air as he coughed into the dirt of the alley, he saw her. Being held high above the ground by an invisible noose. He tried to crawl towards her but Lucius cursed him again. This time, having mercy on his heart the hands took to drilling his mind. Pounding it with invisible hammers into a fine powder. His vision blurred with tears of agony as he squirmed on the alley floor. Pulling at a garbage bin trying to break free. Lucius let up and laughed as he walked closer to Snape. "You will die… and you will die alone."
Before Lucius could say anything a bright green light filled the alley. Snape looked up from the ground he couldn't make out the bodies, one was holding a wand directly at him, the other one was pointing to something in the sky. And her… she was being lifted into the air. A stream of green light shooting out of her mouth. She looked like an angel being lifted towards the heavens with her green omnipresent glow. He wiped his eyes as they continued to blur.
He tried to get up but someone was on top of him. He rolled around to find Lucius, dead on top of him. He tried to push him off but the strain was too much, he looked back at her, slowly being dropped to the ground. He saw the lone figure walk over the two dead bodies in the alley way. They picked her up and walked slowly towards him.
Then all went black.
