My Lord

A high pitched scream pierced the night air.

"Only you can stop the pain, dear," said Voldemort with mock compassion to the muggle girl writhing upon ground.

A low chuckle ran though the assembled Death Eaters. I shuddered despite myself. "Be careful, Snape," hissed Lucius Malfoy in my ear. "You are already on thin ice."

Oh, how could I forget?I moaned inwardly. The memory of my groveling return to the Dark Order was still too fresh. Voldemort had wanted to make me an example to all other Death Eaters that were having second thoughts, and without Malfoy vouching for me Voldemort would have killed me, well eventually.

Standing across from Voldemort was the newest Death Eater, Pandora Lefay. She had only worn the mark since sun set and she was already one of Voldemort’s "pets". She had been out of Drumstrang a year and she must have spent that entire time practicing how to kill without mercy, or maybe it came naturally. That’s a scary thought.

Pandora lifted her wand breaking the curse. "Who did you tell?" Pandora demanded.

"Panny please! I don’t know what your talking about!" the muggle girl cried out, beseechingly crawling towards Pandora.

"You bitch! How dare you face me and call by that name! I know longer know you, sniveling muggle worm! Crucio!" Pandora screeched.

Voldemort approached them with an inhuman speed "Calm yourself lovely Pandora. Do not let this muggle’s stupidity frustrate you. I will finish the this."

Pandora lowered her wand and stepped back obediently.

The muggle girl began to crawl backwards on her hands and knees toward the twisted iron fence that cut off her only means of escape. "I don’t know what you want you want," she pleaded.

"I think you do," hissed the Dark Lord, "in fact, I am sure of it."

The muggle girl leapt to her feet. "No! No! Never!" she screamed. She spun and ran toward the fence. There was a horribly grisly sound as she impaled herself on the out jutting shafts of metal. One went into her eye and came out the back of her skull carrying on it chunks of a grayish-bloody mess. Another went into her chest, spraying blood everywhere. I hope for her sake that she died instantly.

Voldemort let out a howl of rage a started tearing the body to bits. "How dare you! How dare you defy me!" This time I was not the only Death Eater that shuddered.

"M-my Lord," Pandora gasped, coming to his side. "She was a spineless wreak when I knew her, I did not guess that she would take her own life like that."

"No, of course you didn’t," Voldemort crooned smoothing her hair, covering it with the blood of the dead girl. "Muggles are unpredictable, are they not?"

"We will wipe them from the Earth, won’t we Lord?" Pandora moaned, leaning against him.

"Yes of course, child," Voldemort said as Pandora began to lick the blood off his hands.

I slunk away as the other Death Eaters came forward to do the same. There would not be that much to report to Dumbledore tonight.
