Pairing: Bellatrix/Rodolphus
Prompts: forget, promising, heat
The Servant
Bellatrix lay in her cell, staring up at the black ceiling, lost deep in her thoughts. The Dementors surrounded her and the lack of heat made her shiver in her tattered prison clothes, but she didn't register it. After fifteen years, she was used to it.
'Hey, Bella,' whispered Rodolphus into the expansive darkness. He was in the cell opposite her, and often tried to speak to her. In reply, she often pretended he didn't exist. 'When do you think we'll get out of this god-damn hellhole?'
'I don't know, do I? But I am certain that it will be soon. The Dark Lord is waiting for me, I can feel it. As he grows ever stronger, he needs me. I will go to him. He will never forget me, his most faithful servant.'
'I'll get you out, Bella, I promise.'
But 'Bella' wasn't listening to her supposed 'husband' anymore. She was already back to dreaming of the love of her life, her obsession, the man who loved her more than Rodolphus ever would. He would rescue her from the dismal place that enclosed her, and together they would destroy the wizarding world.
