Emerald green ~ Sirius Black

Pain followed Katherine Travers. trickling like blood into her palm, whether falling in rivulets or streams it was always there, waiting to pounce, to sink its teeth deep into her neck.
It followed many of the Pureblood children;

Some embraced it, like Rabastan Lestrange, turning into a cruel twisted man, ready to continue the cycle, to let it loose on his children.
Some accepted it, like Narcissa Black, who obeyed her Husband even though it was not who she truly wanted to be with.
Some hid from it, like Regulus Black, who used his brother's shadow like a shield, until the shadow turned into a spotlight, and he couldn't hide anymore.
Some Ran from it, Like Sirius Black, who escaped the sharp claws of his parents only to shove the people he loved in the way, saving himself at a high cost.

But the reoccurring factor was that it always caught up to them.

Rabastan made it there like a race, running to the cruelty and the cold of being a pureblood.
Narcissa was dragged there as her words and protests were drowned out by her husband's shouts.
Regulus drowned in the burdens of who he had become and what he had done to avoid the very thing he was.
Sirius fell, and from where he had climbed out of the reach of his parents, he went sweeping under until he was stuck.

But Katherina Astraea Travers didn't have to run, or fall, or drown. She was already there.
