A/N: A one-shot drabble about Bellatrix and Narcissa, my two favorite characters...besides Nymphadora, please review!
Bellatrix watched as the three shapes were dragged up before her and her master. Her dark eyes scanning the silvery blonde hair of the captives and her heart skipped a beat.
"My Lord?" Bellatrix asked standing up from his lap alarmed, "What is my sister doing here?"
"The Malfoys have been caught in the process of betraying you, m'lord," Avery answered ignoring her. He bowed down low to the figure that she had just been sitting next to with deep respect.
"Then they must be tortured, Avery?" Voldemort replied steely calm.
"My Lord!" Bellatrix cried turning around, "This is my sister! She would never betray you!"
Please, Cissy, what happened? Bellatrix sent out quietly through the connection between them.
Lucius...he made me...Cissy answered frightened, please believe me, Bella.
"How about we go and play with Lucius? A fall from grace," Avery snorted, "Bastard."
Mulciber stalked forward from where he stood next to Lucius with his chains. They threw him before the Dark Lord and Bellatrix watched in mixed horror and delight as Avery held his wand up.
"Crucio," Avery's spell hit his target and Lucius gave a pained yelp, after a while he passed out from pain.
"Renervate," Voldemort pointed his yew wand to Lucius waking him up.
Bellatrix watched him thrash and yell under the curse's effects. She slowly moved back to Narcissa's side and knelt down. "Cissy, I'll get you out of this."
"Bellatrix, you seem to have chosen your prisoner?" Voldemort called to her, Bellatrix looked up in fear and opened her mouth.
"No," she said shakily.
"What?" He hissed angrily.
"I promised you and her that I would always protect my sister, with my life," Bellatrix replied, stronger than before.
"Then you will take her torture?" He inquired, "Crucio."
Pain ripped through Bellatrix but she kept her gaze trained on Voldemort, defiant. She shook as the pain wracked her body and let out a loud, mad laugh.
Curses shot at her but she never wavered, her chin high as curse after curse ripped through her frail body. Bellatrix only laughed as Voldemort and Avery and Mulciber tore at her viciously. Her eyes bloodshot now but she never gave in to the screaming enjoying the pain as it came anew from every new curse.
"Enough," Voldemort nodded to her as she took a shaky breath in. "She has had enough, now free your sister and take her away, I ensure this is enough torture to see you like this."
Bellatrix nodded, "Of course my lord, thank you for your m-mercy on her."
"Of course," he answered with no emotion, "Now, take her away."
Bellatrix held Narcissa's jaw in her slender fingers before apparating away with a soft crack to her room. She cut the bonds away and kneeled down by her sister, "Cissy?"
"I-I-I'm s-so sorry!" Narcissa sobbed leaning against her.
"Don't be Cissy," Bellatrix answered softly in her ear, "I will never be sorry for protecting you, I will always be there for you, forever."
