The Harvinger's Return; The Heart of a Slave Girl

The Slave: Part 3

Katerina awoke again for the second night by the force. She quickly dressed and turned back to the sleeping Fred. She smiled softly and gently kissed his lips. She then saw the dagger on the nightstand and picked it up, stowing it in her pocket.

She stood deep in the Forest, with a new reason to rebel against her Master. She bowed. "Master." She greeted. "What have you to tell, pet?" Carlos asked as he stepped out from behind a tree. "Nothing." She said softly. She heard him huff but then freeze. She stood upright and looked at him directly. "There is something different about you, Pet." He hissed. She subtly took the knife out of her pocket and gripped the handle behind her back. He moved closer and took a long sniff from the air. He then grew calm, too calm. "Katerina, you reek of that were-wolf," he moved closer and eyed her up, taking into account of her messy hair and crumpled clothes. Fear ran through her. He then stood in front of her. "Explain." He hissed. "I gave my virtue to a worthy man." She said proudly. She was then slammed to the ground, his hand wrapped around her delicate throat. "YOU INSOLENT LITTLE WHORE!! I WILL SLAUGHTER HIM AND FUCK YOU IN HIS BLOOD!" He screamed in her face. She then struck. She thrusted the knife into his gut. He howled and flew upward into a standing position as he stumbled away, clutching his wound. "Oh your going to beg me to kill you when I finish with you!" He snarled. Katerina scrambled to her feet and ran toward the castle as fast as she could. She heard him catching up and saw someone ahead. She cried out as she was tackled to the ground. Her screams echoed off trees as Carlos savagely sunk his fangs into her neck and began to drink quickly. "Nooo!!" She whailed as he tried to force her slave dress up but she kept it down. "Get off!!" She screamed as Carlos pinned her down. She then felt the tiredness wash over her. "St-stop." She wheezed. She heard something whiz through the air and land beside her. Katerina saw it was a flaming arrow as Carlos bite her again and ran off with inhuman speed. So there she was, bleeding out over the forest floor. She prayed for death as she was picked up and felt the sensation of someone running with her. Katerina felt her eyes shut as all her air left slowly. It felt as if she was drowning in her own blood.

Katerina opened her eyes and there was Minerva, Fred, and Snape. Katerina sat up with fright. "Severus Snape is a Death Eater and I was assigned to find out secrets and give them to my master but I refused to so he tried to kill me and-"

"Slow down, Child." Minerva said gently. "Severus is a spy for us." She explained. Katerina looked at him and saw he was studying her. "Katerina... can you tell us how you came to be a slave?" Minerva asked. Katerina hesitated. "I don't remember, I only know that Carlos Montigue has been my Master for as long as I can remember." She said, turning her head to Fred. She looked back as Snape swooped toward her. He caught her chin and turned her head to the left then right. She leaned away from him in fear as he looked at her as if remembering a memory. "C-Claire?" He asked. She frowned. "No, my name is Katerina, I'm a muggle." She said, glaring at Snape making him smile. "You have her glare." He said softly. She looked at him as if he had gone mad. She looked to Fred and saw he had gone pale. "Whats going on?" She asked Fred hesitantly. He moved to sit beside her and she nuzzled close to him. Severus looked between the two. Then her paled then turned livid. He lunged at Fred over the bed and they landed on the floor. Severus got to his feet, pulling Fred up with him then slammed him up against the wall while Katerina freaked out. "HOW DARE YOU TOUCH HER, WEASLEY!!" he bellowed. "DID YOUR PROMISE TO CHRISTINA MEAN NOTHING?!" He screamed. "Get off of him, you filthy Death Eater!" Katerina screamed and jumped on Snape's back. He yelped as they went crashing to the floor. Katerina had his wrists pinned to the floor with her knees and a scaple to his throat. He looked surprised as Katerina was pulled off of him. She turned and his in Fred's arms. She looked up at him as she grew dizzy. "I don't feel well." She slurred before passing out. Fred picked her up and laid her back down on the hospital bed as Snape stood. Fred moved to say something but Snape swept from the hospital wing, unable to look at the girl anymore that reminded him so much like his late wife.
