Save me….Please…save me…I'm dying. . .

I saw him standing there watching me as the cruciatus curse was ripped screams from my body. I knew he wanted to protect me…save me from this torture. I could see it in his beautiful blue eyes…so full of fear and pain. My love… I thought then another curse ripped another scream from my petite body.

"If you can think Misss Meadows then you can ssspeak." Lord Voldemort's voice hissed. His didn't scare me, it never really had. I just thought that the whole no nose, pale vampire wannabe look was a bit creepy. "Not on my life Snake Face." I said, my voice scratchy from all the screaming. "Impertinent witch!" he growled. I tried to raise my eyebrow actually expecting him to hiss at me. I knew my beloved would be hiding a smirk underneath his mask but still carefully masking his thoughts.

Voldemort began to raise his wand again to curse me again but an insane, young feminine voice spoke out cautiously, "My Lord?"

Snake Face actually hissed in anger and the figure off to my right quickly fell to her knees. I knew the voice. I had heard it insulting my friends for years at Hogwarts; Bellatrix Black, cousin to my best friend and beloved. "What is it Black?"

"My Lord," I could hear the pout in her voice when he used her last name, "May I curse the traitor?"

"And why, pray tell Bellatrix, should I give you the privilege?"

Bellatrix hesitated for a moment before answering, "The traitor has been a thorn in my side and in the sides of many of your followers My Lord. I just request to torture the bitch in hopes of getting information and my own revenge at the same time."

I think if Voldemort had eyebrows he might have raised one, then he looked back at me, sent the cruciatus curse at me one more time getting a high pitched scream of pain "Give me a good show Bella." And of course the bastard turns around and leaving me to the 'gentle' mercies of Bellatrix. The young and very deranged woman started cackling hysterically as she began moving her wand with slightly complex movements. I'm not sure what she did or said but suddenly cuts were appearing everywhere on my body but none of them were near any major veins or arteries. I gave a gasp, the nasty things were like getting hundreds of paper cuts simultaneously. Bellatrix frowned at the lack of reaction and suddenly swiped her wand at my mid-section and my insides began to burn. I had never felt such pain but I would never give Bellabitch the satisfaction of hearing me scream from her torture. Suddenly I felt more pain in my pelvis area and blood began to dribble from between my legs. I automatically knew what this meant. The strong spells I had cast around my womb had finally broken. The small child that had been growing inside me was gone.

Bellabitch knew what she had done and started cackling with a disturbing sense of mirth. Tears began welling in my eyes and I was suddenly flipped over and I was able to face my beloved. I could feel his sorrow and anger from here. He had been so excited when he learned I was pregnant with his child but had tried to forbid me from being the most recent Order of the Phoenix rescue which resulted my being captured by the Deatheaters. His anger was spurred from that and Bellatrix finally destroying my wards. "Oh how the mighty Dorcas Meadows has fallen. Pregant with another little traitor. Tell me. Was it my traitorous, mudblood loving cousin? Or do you not know whos little bastard child it belongs to?"

I took some deep breathes trying to keep my tears in check then faced Bellatrix the best I could and said, "My child was conceived out of love. Love with a man pure of heart." She screeched, kinda like an ancient harpy, and shot another crucio at me. I didn't scream just convulsed on the floor. "And yet your 'love' isn't here now is he, you worthless slut." She laughed but stopped shortly after when my own bitter laugh began to fill the room. "Of course he's her." I said and touched my heart, "He's always here with me no matter what you do to me Bellabitch."

She screamed in anger and crucioed me over and over but still never getting a scream. Voldemorts crucios were stronger then hers by far. "Bellatrix!" Voldemort yelled and the curse ended. I collapsed on the ground and tried to find the comforting eyes of my beloved. The tears in my eyes made it nearly impossible to find him. I found the mask that belonged to him and gave a small smile before I was wrenched up to my feet. Blood flowed down my body adding to the blood coated floor. Voldemort sneered in my face and held his wand to my temple. "Speak or die witch." He threatened. I stared at him for a short moment and just smiled, "Death before dishonor Moldy-shorts." He threw me to the floor and yelled, "AVADA KEDAVRA!" a flash of green and everything went black.

~~~~POV change~~~~~~~~~

It was all he could do to keep from collapsing to his knees as the only woman he had ever loved was murdered in front of his eyes. His beautiful blond-haired, blue-eyed fiancée, gone. His unborn child, also gone. It took all the will power he could muster to keep his cover, he still had something to do before he could give himself over to death. He watched as the Dark Lord took deep breathes then looked at his followers, "Get out. All of you. GET OUT!" he yelled. Every Deatheater in the room turned and quickly left the room.

Severus Snape eyed his fellow Deatheaters cautiously, he had to report everything to Dumbledore as soon as he could. It would be tragic news for the old man to learn of Cassy's (Dorcas) death. It would also be a blow to her friends. It had been a shock to the young man to learn that Cassy was with child. I wish I could have saved her…but what could I have done? If I had saved her then the Order would no longer have an inside man… Severus was so deep in thought with regret that he didn't realize that he was about to run over another young man crouched in the hall. Severus stumbled, "Watch it!" then stopped realizing who it was. Regulus Black, the younger brother to Sirius Black the one man Severus truly hated. "Come on Black. Kneeling here on the floor isn't good for you." He said rolling his eyes.

The young Black looked up at Severus, "I need your help Severus."

If I get enough good reviews I'll post the next chapter. This will be a two-shot…I think.
