This was inspired by a good friend of mine who I love to RP with. She and I got to talking about how our characters felt during the 14 years Bellatrix was in Azkaban. Being the writer I am, I let my Cissa character take over and I sort of became her. The result is the following set of letters from Narcissa to Bella over the eldest Black's long stay in the Dementor-infested hellhole.
Disclaimer: I sadly don't own Bella, Cissa, Lucius, Draco, Azkaban, or really anything you recognize.
My Dearest Bellatrix,
It's been two months since your trial and I still cannot believe you're truly gone. My mind simply refuses to accept the fact that I've lost you to that horrid place, that you aren't here with me, keeping me sane. It all seems so surreal to me, like this is just a dream and that when I wake up, you'll be there laughing, telling me that I'm just a silly bean having a nightmare. I can't believe you're really gone Bella.
What am I supposed to do without my sister, my very best friend? Lucius seems to think that I'll just snap out of this, that I'll find something to distract me from the complete sense of loss I'm feeling. But nothing makes me smile anymore, since everything makes me think of you. Keep your head up and remember that I love you and need you to be okay so you can come home to me, okay? I'll write you again soon, just as quick as I can.
Love forever,
Cissy
