Disclaimer; One day I may have my own million dollar book but I'll probably never own Harry Potter. He, Nymphadora, Bellatrix, Remus, Teddy, and all those other characters belong to the talented up the end of Order of the Phoenix J.K. Rowling.

She shot spell after spell at her attacker but she couldn't get a single one to hit . Bellatrix Lestrange laughed at her, coldly and cruelly. Tonks tried desperately to hit her just once but Bellatrix evaded all her spells. Tonks could feel her body wanting to quit, to just give up and let Bellatrix kill her. She couldn't. She wouldn't. She had to stay alive for Remus and for Teddy. Bellatrix laughed again and said mockingly, "Aw, is little Nymphadora tired? Let Auntie Bella help you." Bellatrix fired a spell that Tonks barely dodged. Tonks grit her teeth and shot a spell back at her deranged aunt, who effortlessly dodged it "Rest in peace, wittle Nymphadora. I'll send your half-breed husband and your brat along to you soon." Before Tonks could even figure out what Bellatrix meant, Bellatrix pointed her wand at Tonks and sent the Killing Curse at her. As the curse traveled the few feet between them, Tonks just stared at it. She was too tired and drained to move even though she knew she should. Just before the curse struck, Tonks had the fleeting thought of "Damn it. This was not the way I pictured my death." Then the bright green curse hit her. Tonks couldn't feel any part of her body and she tried to yell at someone to help her in panic but she couldn't move her lips. No breath was escaping her lips either. The color in the world started fading. It felt slow but it must have been fast. Then the light started going away and Tonks tried to call for it the come back but she couldn't make a sound. There was just the oh so very faint sounds of the battle going on left. No light and no color and no feeling. Just black and the getting softer by the second sounds of the battle. Then there was no sound. No nothing. Just black. She was alone in the black. Alone with just black.
