"And who of my people have taken away someone from you?"

"I wouldn't know their names. I don't track down for revenge. This is a war. It's that simple. It's about the bigger picture, not tracking down for petty revenge on the messenger. Because believe it or not, I don't actually enjoy killing people, shocker I know, I just do what I'm told."

"You had to have known full well what you were getting into when you joined Him." Moving the candle farther up his arm, I stop as the flame starts to burn the skin over the Dark Mark.

"You're right, I did. I knew exactly what I was doing." I nod, "And as far as I'm concerned, when this war ends if He wins, I'm going to be a lot better off than if you do. It doesn't mean that I like what the price of victory is." I make a soft noise of pain as the flame reaches the mark. The mark still ached and the heat was making it worse.

"He won't win." I look at him, hearing the pained noise coming from him. "Does that hurt? Well then...." I turn his arm, forcing the mark down. I bring the candle closer to his arm, barely touching the wick to the mark.

I wince in pain again, closing my eyes and trying very hard not to cry out. "We'll see who's going to win, won't we?" I say through gritted teeth.

I drop his hand, standing. I walk around, stopping behind him. "Oh, I can guarantee he won't win." Grabbing his hair, I pull his head back. I take the candle and pour some of the wax on his cheek.

I clench my teeth in pain, "You're adept at torture, Miss...well, I still don't know your name. But you're adept at torture. What makes you so different from me?"

I laugh. "I have no intention of killing you. That's what makes me different from you. I don't kill." I continue dripping wax over his face. "You know the saying 'Hell hath no furry'?"

"Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn." I say, gritting my teeth in pain.

"Whoever came up with that idea had no idea how right he was." I dump the rest of the wax over his face, avoiding his eyes.

"Think it was Shakespeare." I mutter, clenching my jaw even more to stop myself crying out.

I laugh. "That's right. I forgot about that. Man was smart." Conjuring a match, I light it and press it against the side of his neck.

"Wrote a lot of smart things," I grimace, trying hard not to shy away from the match, "Hell is empty and all the devils are here. I like that one. Seems appropriate considering the times we live in and all."

I Draw the match across his skin, burning a small line down his neck. "Yes, that does seem mildly appropriate."

My fists clench slightly, Fight back. For fucks sake, fight back. Don't you dare. I don't say anything, arching an eyebrow instead, wincing slightly.

"It would do absolutely nothing to fight back, believe me." I glance at him. "I'm a mind reader." I move the match, burning another line. "My name is Angela."

"I don't plan to. My subconscious hates me." I reply, "Can't say I blame it. Pleasure to meet you Angela, well it would be if you weren't torturing me, in fact I doubt it would be even if you weren't and I did have the upperhand in the situation seeing as you've already marked me out as an enemy."

"I believe you're right on that one. Maybe under different circumstances." Flicking the spent match away, I conjur another one. "You have awsome selfcontrol, I must admit. Most people would be crying like a baby by now." I light the match and burn another line.

"I've had practice with this sort of thing." I reply, clenching my teeth with pain, "An order member with too strong a moral objection to murder is nothing compared to the dark lord."

I finish the line I was burning into his skin, throwing the match away, and look at the A burnt on his neck. "That'll be a reminder for you."

"Trust me, I don't forget." I reply, closing my eyes. I never did forget. Every single person was burnt into my memory and always would be.

Standing, I banish the candle. "Good." I level my wand at him, taking a deep breath. "Sectumsempra."

I turn my head away, I hated that curse. I could still remember Rowan using it on me, I could still feel it, hear my own voice in my head, Rowan, no, stop! I'm your brother! Stop! I gasp softly as cuts split open across my chest, blood staining my shirt.

I watch him for a second then crouch down, whispering in his ear. "I hope you die some horrible death. I hope someone murders you like you murdered him. Like you murdered those other people."

"As much as I want that to happen, no one deserves that. Not even you." Casting a spell to stop the blood flow, I stand back up, offering him a hand.
