"You're beautiful when you cry." His voice was barely more than a whisper, but it rang in her ears. It rang through the empty room, echoing painfully off the walls. Causing her to tremble in fear, though she had never before been afraid of him. Never before felt anything towards him except for loyalty, devotion, lust. Admiration, fascination, passion.
But not fear. Never fear.
And that is why the tears rolled down her face. She was frightened. She was alone. And she did not know what he would do.
Because nobody knew what The Dark lord would ever do. Especially when he was like this. Especially when he was cruel. To anyone and everyone. And Bellatrix just so happened to be there. To be caught in the middle of his path of destruction. And now she had to suffer the pain.
"Please- don't call me beautiful. I can't stand it." She whispered faintly, she did not believe a word he said. Not now. Not when he talked like that.
Her beloved never talked like that. No matter how much she told him that she loved him. No matter how much devotion she showed him, he never told her that was beautiful. That she was special. That he loved her and wanted her. Never.
He hit her. Hard and merciless. He pounded her small body and slapped her pale face until it shone beet red. Over and over and over, he beat her. Again and again and again. Relentlessly until she shook out of control and the tears ceased to fall and she just sobbed dry, painful cries.
And she broke. Inside she broke in two. She broke so painfully and completely.
Because he had never hurt her before. He had always had a soft spot for her. Always. Even though he never told her that he favored her, She knew. He would not hurt her.
At least before, when she was safe from him.
She did not know what happened, but he was different.
"you're beautiful" He whispered in her ear. "And you're broken"
She knew he was right.
Fin.
