CH 56 Lou runs (Original chapter)

Severus watched her covertly from the armchair he sat in. She�d been stood reading that infernal book for almost two hours now and was beginning to sway slightly. He could hear her stomach protesting loudly, hear her stifled sobs and occasional sniffs, yet not once did she complain, look round, or object.
�Has it sunk in sufficiently that you will now comply with the rules of our binding?� He asked, noting how she jumped at the suddenness of his voice.
�Yes.� She answer quietly, though not so quiet that he could not hear.
�Yes what?�
Lou almost turned and asked him what he meant, then stopped herself and lowered her eyes to the floor.

�Yes it�s sunk in and I�ll do as I�m told.�

�You are still missing something Lou, one more time, get it wrong again and I shall punish you again.�

She couldn�t help crying as she spoke. �Yes I will do what ever you tell me to do, I won�t do any thing unless you tell me to, and I wont get emotional with anyone but you. I�ll be good, I promise.�
She had no idea why she was once again getting a spanking. Lou had lost count of how many times it happened so far, she�d tried to do everything right, she was doing what he told her to do and was now too afraid to ask what she was doing wrong. �I�m sorry, I�m so, so sorry.� She told him, not knowing what else to do.
Severus commanded she sit and she was about to sit carefully on the sofa so as not to hurt her bruised bum, when she was yanked away from it and plonked onto the floor at his feet. A cry escaped her lips and she slapped her hand over her mouth.
�If I tell you sit, that is what you will do, you will not think for yourself from now on, the reason I punished you this time is because you still have not grasped the fact that I am now your Master, from now on you will address me as such. If I ask you a question, you will answer and always end with Master. If I address you, you will respond with �Yes Master�. Is that understood?�
�Yes. Master.� She answered, adding master after a small pause.
�If you wish to speak with me or gain my attention at any time, you will approach me to a distance of seven paces and stand with your eyes lowered, you will wait as long as it takes for me to decide whether or not I wish to acknowledge you. Is that also understood?�
Yes - Master.� Lou felt lower than a house elf, at least they were allowed to speak when they wanted and think for themselves. �What if I need the loo? Do I need to ask his bloody permission for that too?� She thought resentfully.
�You do indeed.� He told after the next spanking. Her buttocks and upper thighs were black with bruising and he really did not want to continue with this. He�d tried to vary where his hand landed but had fast run out of places to spank. He remembered the image of her being beaten with a hairbrush as a small child, the bruising to her stomach, bottom and thighs reminiscent of how she looked now and he felt physically sick. His own damned hand was sore, how must she be feeling. He pleaded with every deity he knew off that she would get the hang of this quickly so he didn�t have to punish her any more. It did not help that every time he laid a hand on her backside, bruised as it was, he grew hard and wanted to throw her down on the floor and fuck her hard.
�You may eat now, remember to thank me first Lou.�
�Yes, thank you Master.� She said, turning to go to the table. She hesitated and looked in his direction, did she just go or was she meant to ask him if she could go? Lou didn�t know what to do now and she was frightened.
�Yes you may go to the table.� He told her gently, seeing her hesitation and sensing her fear.
Lou took the few steps to the table and looked with dismay at what was left. A cold pork chop and a few cold potatoes. Still, she�d eaten much worse than this before and didn�t dare complain. She didn�t dare heat it up either and as for sitting down, it was the last thing she wanted to do. Her hands trembled so much she had trouble cutting the meat and she dropped her fork twice.
When Severus noticed her distress he moved to stand beside her and she flinched, expecting to be punished again.
Instead he warmed the food up and cut up her meat for her.
�Thank you master.� She said quietly.
He nodded and went to the kitchen, put together a small salad and brought it through, placing it in front of her. �Eat that too, you need more than just meat and potato.�
He said kindly.
�Thank you Master.� She said again as she choked back a sob.
�I shall be either in my study or my laboratory should you wish to speak with me. You may bathe at four o�clock, before preparing supper for two. You also have my permission to apply a mild healing salve to your backside after bathing, you will find it on the side of the bath when it is time and not before. I require only a light repast, to be eaten at six. From now until the ceremony, you shall prepare all of my meals and dine with me.� He told her and left the room, the marriage book in his hand.
As soon as he�d gone Lou broke down into heart wrenching sobs. She almost choked on the piece of potato in her mouth and gripped the back of the chair she was standing behind as she ate. She left the food and went to her bedroom where she climbed on the bed and curled up on her side, still crying.
He closed her door behind him and heard her start to cry in earnest. He wanted to go back and comfort her, tell her it was all a mistake, how sorry he was, that it would stop right now. Above all else, he wanted to hold her, tell her he cared for her dearly, but he could not do that. If he went in there now he would have to punish her again for crying and he did not want to do that either. Instead he made his way to his rooms and placed the book on his desk before going to his lab to make a fresh supply of healing potion and some more Murlap essence. He�d a feeling she would need plenty of both before the Binding even began.
Once finished in the lab, he called for a house elf to deposit the healing balm in Lou�s bathroom at precisely four pm, then settled down to read the marriage book more thoroughly, as he should have done in the first place.
Lou cried herself to sleep and on waking, she found it near impossible to move as her muscles had seized up from the severe thrashing she�d taken. Her right leg in particular, which still ached at times. Pain seemed to have taken on a new meaning as far as that leg was concerned. She could see the clock on the bedside and it was almost four o�clock. She needed to get to the bathroom otherwise she wouldn�t be able to walk to the kitchen and make supper. Lou reached inside her sleeve for her wand, she wanted to accio her cane, hopefully it would help her make it to the bathroom. Only her wand wasn�t there anymore. She felt around the bed as far as she could reach and still couldn�t find it. She was desperate for the toilet too so she forced herself to slowly move backwards off the bed, only to fall flat on her back. Lou let out a loud yell, the pain was too much and she fell to her side sobbing.
Severus felt her distress and at first he ignored it, assuming she was uncomfortable as she waited for the healing balm. He�d accio�d her wand earlier when he read she was not meant to be in possession of one until such time as the ceremony was performed, then only with her husband/masters permission.
Her distress seemed to deepen considerably a few minutes later and he searched for her thoughts. �Shit.� He muttered, running from his rooms to hers. He found her on the bedroom floor, she was trying to crawl towards the cane that stood in the far corner of the room, and not having a great deal of success.
His heart almost broke in two when she saw him and froze, cowering when he took a step forward to help her.

�Lou don�t, I am here to help you now. Tell me what happened?� He said, picking her up and gently laying her on the bed.
�Hurts, I couldn�t move, leg hurts too, tried to get the cane. Sorry Master.� She said in short gasps.
He told her to stay put, stupid really since she could hardly move anyway, while he set her bath to run. He accio�d some of the potion and essence he�d made that afternoon and poured a bottle of the healing potion into the bathwater.
That done he used his wand to divest her of her clothing as was shaken when he saw the state she was in. The bruising had spread all the way round her legs, hips and lower chest. �No wonder she could not get off the bed. Merlin what have I done?

He removed his own clothes, leaving on his boxers then lifted her carefully and carried her to the bathroom. He climbed in, thankful it was a large tub and sat down, lowering her in gently and laying her across his lap. One arm under her shoulders, he stroked her hair from her face, while the potion laced water worked on her bruised and battered body. He added a second bottle after twenty minutes and let that one soothe her as well before climbing out with her still in his arms. The bruising was almost gone and he stood her on the floor to dry them both.

�Do you feel better?� He asked as she stood demurely, her eyes downcast.
�Yes, thank you Master. She answered softly.
He walked into the bedroom, expecting her to follow, so was surprised when he turned to speak and she wasn�t there.

�Why did you not �Lou, come into the bedroom.�
She padded through and he noticed her limp was quite pronounced again.

�Your leg, is it painful?�

�Yes Master.�
He told her to lay on the bed and ran a diagnostic spell across her right leg. There was deep bruising to the muscles from all the spankings he�d given her. There was only one thing he could use that would heal her leg now and if it had the same effect as last time.
He was going to have to vary her punishments somehow. There were several suggestions in the book that he would seriously need to consider, now she was minus a cuff, they should have an effect on her.

He accio�d the �Heal All� as he called his new potion, and told her to drink it.
Lou really didn�t want to take it, not knowing what it did, but her leg hurt so much and she was afraid to refuse for fear of another spanking. She drank it down and laid back, closing her eyes as Severus gently rubbed the Murlap essence into her body, removing what was left of the bruising. She felt much better when he�d finished and managed a small smile.

�Thanks.� �I mean thank you Master.� She quickly added, her smile gone, eyes wide.
He nodded and went to wash his hands. �Go start on supper.� He called.
Lou got up from the bed, quickly dressed and headed for the kitchen to begin making quiche and salad.
When Severus entered the kitchen, he was not pleased when he saw her. �I do not recall telling you to dress.� He said coldly.
A flash of anger sparked in her but she said nothing. Instead she started to remove her clothing, laying them to one side of the counter as her cheeks burned in humiliation. Then she continued preparing the meal, not saying a word.
After laying the table, Lou brought the food in and stood waiting for permission to sit down.
�Put some clothes on, then join me for supper. I do not wish to see you in muggle attire at any time, only robes from now on. And no undergarments, they will not be necessary.�

Lou�s shoulders slumped as she gathered her things from the kitchen, took them to the bedroom and took out a set of robes to wear. What about when she had her period? She needed her knickers then.
Severus told her to sit and eat, once seated he told her she would be allowed her knickers during menses and no other time.

Her cheeks continued to burn yet still she remained silent, afraid of angering him.
She was trying not to think the thoughts entering her head constantly, instead forcing herself to focus on mundane things like food and schoolwork, even the book of marriage, anything except what she wanted to think about.
As she was washing up the muggle way, Severus felt the mark start to burn and stood. �I have to leave for a while, stay in your rooms while I am gone, if I have not returned by nine pm, you are to retire for the night, you will not wear a nightgown, sleep naked from now on.�
He left to collect his Deatheater mask and robe, and to inform Albus of where he was going.
Lou saw him grab his arm as the mark burned, she knew where he was going and she intended to take advantage of his absence.

She waited for half an hour to be sure he was gone, then rushed into the bedroom to grab her money bag, her satchel and anything else of importance she could carry before sneaking from her rooms and down the corridor.

Lou was determined to get away, she couldn�t do this anymore. She peered around the main hall, making sure no one was hanging around and ran to the main doors. They weighed a ton but weren�t locked yet. She managed to open one a crack and slip though, pulling it shut behind her.
She ran close to the castle wall as far as she could then remembered the gates were always locked and warded, so she headed for the path that led to the area of the lake where the boats were kept. If she could get in a boat and across the lake, she could go to Hogsmead and wait for a train to London. Lou had wizard and muggle money now so it didn�t matter where she was, she would be able to pay for food and shelter.
�Muggle will be best.� She thought. �There are more places to hide in the muggle world and I haven�t even got my wand any more.�
The path to the boats was treacherous at this time of year, plus it was dark and Lou slipped at tripped several times before finally reaching the edge of the lake. She climbed into a boat and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she discovered there were no oars.

�Shit.� She mumbled to herself. �How can I row the boat with no bloody oars.� She took a deep breath and thought for a moment, then it hit her. �Kreatcher.� She said quietly.
�Lou, why is you here? Is not good being on the lake at night, you should be coming in with Kreatcher now.�

�No Kreatch I can�t, I have to get away from here and I haven�t got my wand. Please make the boat move for me, and don�t tell anyone you�ve seen me, I need you to keep it a secret. Promise Kreatch, please.�

�Kreatcher keeps his mistresses secrets, but Kreatcher is not happy about this. Is better you stay here.�
�Kreatcher I can�t, the binding, it�s too much and I hate it. I�m scared Kreatch and I don�t want to do it any more. Just get me across the lake then you can go back to Pegnose and pretend this never happened, okay.�
Kreatcher jumped into the boat and it propelled itself across the lake to the other side.

�Where is you going Lou, tell Kreatcher and me and Peg is finding you and looking after you again.�
�I don�t know yet, I have to find somewhere safe, somewhere I wont be found. I�m sorry Kreatch, I�ll miss you, I really will.� She gave the elf a kiss on the cheek, climbed from the boat and made her way through the shadows of Hogsmead to the station.
Lou was fortunate that she had only half an hour to wait for the Hogwarts express to arrive, and a further twenty minutes before it set off for Kings Cross.

She settled herself into an empty compartment, trembling with fright over what she�d done, but she eventually calmed down and fell asleep to the steady rumble of the trains engine.

�I trust you have set the date for the Binding Snape.�

�I have my Lord, we shall begin seven times seven on the first day of the new year. I hope this pleases you my Lord.�

�It does indeed, and the girl, is she bowing to your commands, or is punishment necessary?�

�She is coming round to it my Lord. I have found it necessary to mete out a certain amount of punishment, but she is beginning to see the error of her ways and is doing as instructed.�

�Show me the results of your punishment.�

Severus opened his mind to the Dark Lord, showing him the numerous spankings he�d given Lou and the battered state of her body afterwards, he also allowed him to see her more subservient moments while hiding the part when he healed her.
�You have punished her harshly, I like that. I look forward to seeing more when the binding is over. You may go.�

Severus was relieved when he returned to his quarters, put away his mask and robe and was heading for the Headmasters office to make his report. He�d undergone no punishment this time, the Dark Lord was pleased with him.
By the time he was back in the dungeons it was ten thirty and he hoped Lou had gone to bed as he�d told her to. Reaching out to her mind, he found she was dreaming, a most peculiar dream. He was about to pull out, seeing as she was clearly in bed, when he saw her in one of the school boats, only she wasn�t dreaming about her arrival here, instead she was heading away from the school. Now she was in Hogsmead, alone, it was dark. She was on the Hogwarts express. �How strange.� He thought. But he was almost able to hear the trains engine when he was in her mind, her body swayed slightly with the movement of the train. Something wasn�t right, he knew it. Heading into the small passage he entered her bedroom to find it empty. He raced into the living room, hoping to find her asleep on the sofa but she wasn�t there either. After checking every room, he ran back up to the Headmasters office, told him she was missing and of the strange dream he�d seen in her mind.
�It would appear she has bolted Severus, it is vital she is caught before she enters the muggle world, it will be much more difficult to find her there. I suggest we apparate and wait for her on platform 9¾
. You have her wand I believe, so she cannot do any magic, going muggle is her only option at the moment.�
The two wizards headed through the gates of Hogwarts and apparated to platform 9¾
, to await the arrival of the runaway. They disollusioned themselves so she would not see them and panic when she left the train. They planned to grab her and apparate straight back to Hogwarts before she realised what was happening.

They also knew Severus would be forced to punish her heavily for this misdemeanour and two or three slaps on the bottom would not suffice this time.
