Enchanted Jewels

Severus Snape and old memories

Vipers P.O.V

I followed the smell of blood until it led us to a darkened alleyway away from prying eyes, further down I noticed a man whom seemed to be 6'3 in hieght and had an average built but then agian you should never underestimate your enemy and this man was certinly not our friend. His skin was pale his hair shoulder length dark and raven balck, he also had a hooked nose but still seemed oddly appealing to the eye, his hands seemed strong and well worked yet smooth he also smelled of various different plants giving me the impression he was probably a herbologist or something of the sort , he was also limping rather badly and blood pooled into his black robes ...robes? .. but only no.. o god please dont let it be.. he cant be ,just then the faint smell of magic and the soft humm it gave off filled my senses giving me the confirmation I truly wished I hadn't recived.

Just as I was about to turn around and drag me sister away before anything could happen when my dear sweet.. loving sister scarlett called out

"Hey !"

I mentally cursed her , how my sister could be so reckless was beyond me , I loved her but seriously.

"You idiot"

I hissed at her while pushing her behind me as he shot off a spell towards her making the spell hit my left arm slightly instead , well it seems like i'll have a brand new scar yay.

"Sorry .."

scarlett mumbeled while eyeing the gash on my left arm with concern making her hair turn a light yellowish green.

"Im fine"

I said with no emotion in my voice I had learned to deprive myself of such things at a very early age in my life, I turned towards the injured man .. no wizard .. becuase thats exactly what he was..

I sighed my eyes flashing a blue violet color briefly i could tell he noticed by the almost silent gasp he let out

"We mean you no harm" I called out

"we only want to help" Scarlett interjected

He turned to look at us fully letting out a small hiss of discomfort when his injured leg was moved the wrong way, thats when I got a good look at his face he had a regal almost haughty aura about him that seemed to scream dark , dangerous and hidden, his eyes were an obsidian black color and his lips pale and thin. I could see the miss trust shining though his balck orbs , scanning us observing us to see some if any at all possible weakness and malintention, calculating all possible exits and escape routes for extra measure he seemed as if he had to go through this process regularly ,it seemed to be second nature to him.

"Who are you ?"

He drawled out his voice deep and smooth but cutting ,cold and distrustful of course that was very well hidden to the average person.

My eyes narrowed slighty flashing orange in my mild irritation

"Viper."

I replied smoothly teasingly and coldly , of course viper was only the name I went and have gone by for a very long time, only my sister an old friend and I knew my real name and thats exactly the way I wanted it.

"I require no assistance"

the man said but not a second later hissed due to his injury

"Obviously"

I sneered my eyes flashing orange once more seriosuly this man was irritating and my patience was already running thin not to mention I was hungry tired and had a new wound to attend to before it became infected so I did the only resonable thing any 17 year old mage would do at a time like this ... stunned him rendering him immobiel for the next 2 or so hours along with making him invisible to all except me and my sister it would making taking him to where we were currently staying a whole lot easier.
