I kissed his cold lips softly. "Come home safe love" I whispered. He laughed, hard and cold, and hissed "I always do. Wait for me, Bellatrix and Lucius will keep you company until I come back"

"Mhmm" I hummed into his chest, clutching to him for dear life.

"Who is it tonight?" I asked quietly, fearing the answer.

"The Potters, Dumbledore put them in hiding, but they made a foolish mistake. They put our little spy as their secret keeper."

"Fools" I said, shuddering at the thought of Peter. Nasty little man he was, horribly weak and spineless. I was waiting for the day Tom would end his pathetic life. Tom unwounded me from himself and looked me in the eyes.

I felt a spike of sadness as I stared into Toms red eyes. Ever since he had made the 6 other Horcruxes, besides myself, he'd looked much different, but handsomer as ever. So pale and almost snake like.

"My beautiful darling, I will be back. James Potter is too weak to face me, and Lily Potter is a disgusting mudblood, how could they ever withstand against me?" He asked, smirking at the thought.

"No one can compete against you love, you're the greatest Wizard of all time." I said, letting proud show in my voice. "Even Dumbledore is afraid of you, I am not worried Tom. I know you would never leave me alone" I whispered.

"Of course I wouldn't. Remember, I love you. I'll be back soon, this shouldn't take too long." He kissed me, his hand attaching to my neck as he explored my mouth. His fingers went under my dress, and I smirked against his lips.

"Naughty witch! No underwear?" he smirked.

"Just how you like it my Lord." I whispered. He slipped two fingers in my core and teased me until I came in his hand. I made to remove my dress but he stopped me.

"No darling, I must go. But I will see you soon"

Then he was gone, and I felt cold. I smiled a bitter smile, how ironic, I felt cold without Tom; while he was the coldest man I knew.

Yet I loved him. I loved him and I felt so alone without him. Though I wasn't sure that was because of how much I loved him or the bond we shared through his soul inside of me.


"Where is he?" I demanded my voice strained and high-pitched. Bellatrix trembled, I almost felt bad for the poor girl. A surge of hate surged through me as I saw the longing and worry in her face. I tried to calm myself down, Tom had chosen me; it'd always been me.

"My lady, I'm sure he just got held up" she stammered. I turned to the mirror, ignoring the young girl. I saw the reflection of a 17 year old girl. The side effect of being a Horcrux, I can never age. But I can also never die, unless of course Tom dies, but that would never happen.

"Where's Lucius?!" I screeched at her. She ran from the room and for a moment I was ready to kill her for just ignoring me and leaving, but a second later she returned with Lucius at her side.

"Leave! I can't stand your annoying presence much longer!" I snapped at Bellatrix. He bowed and scurried from the room like a mouse.

"My lady" Lucius bowed at me. I waved a hand at him, my other hand clutching my forehead, trying to sort my thoughts.

"He's been gone for hours" I whispered as he poured me some tea. I was terrified, I knew I wouldn't be able to stand it if he was gone, I knew it was impossible.

"He'll be back soon my lady, of course he will" but even Lucius, the vainest man I knew, sounded unsure. We drank our tea quietly until Bellatrix barged in, holding Peter Pettigrew by his robes, tears shining on her face.

My heart dropped in my stomach as Bellatrix screeched to peter, "Tell them; tell your lady what has happened!"

Peter dropped to his knees and started sobbing.

"Tell me you disgusting creature!" I hissed at him, flexing my wand in my hand.

"My lady, the dark lord has been destroyed." He said shakily, nervously twitching on the floor.

The teacup dropped out of my hand, crashing to the floor, and shattering.

"How" I whispered.

"A…baby. A baby destroyed him!" Peter sobbed out. I pointed my wand at him, ready to strike, when he turned into a bloody mouse!

"Damn you Peter, after him!" I yelled to Bellatrix as she chased peter out of the room.

Lucius was in shock, staring at the teacup. I paid him no matter as I ran to Tom and I's bedroom and shuffled madly in our top drawers. The only Horcruxes left to place were the cup and the diary, and I knew just the places to keep them.

I knew I couldn't tell them that Tom was actually alive. His killing curse must have backfired against himself and destroyed his body, but I knew his soul was not destroyed. He was still alive somewhere, I had no idea where he was though.

I grabbed the diary and the cup and fled back into the room where Lucius was. He had fixed he teacup and was now pacing in the middle of the room.

"Lucius I–" But I was interrupted by Bellatrix running in the room panting.

"He got away!" she screeched, I cursed peter in my mind, one day he would pay. Bellatrix was crying and jabbed a pointy finger at me.

"How could you not be taking this worse, our lord is dead! Your husband!"

"Do not point your disgusting boney little finger at me. He was my husband and I will deal with this in my own way. Has it not occurred to you Bellatrix that I know things you don't? How dare you speak to me that way!" I hissed at her.

She shrunk my and whispered "I am so sorry my lady, that was inexcusable."

"You'd do best to remember that he was my husband, Bellatrix" I sneered at her.

She blushed, and hung her head, fresh tears falling from her eyes.

"Both of you sit down. I need you both to do something for me." I said, sitting down in Tom's chair, and smoothing dress.

"Now that our Lord is gone, I need you both to listen to me. And I know that will take up most of your brain capacity Bellatrix, so listen closely." I hissed. Bellatrix's cheeks blushed but she kept her gaze steady.

"I need you both to hide these items for me. Bellatrix your vault is even more protected than mine, so I need you to hide this in it. Do not ask questions!" I snapped at her as I carefully put the cup into her hands.

"And Lucius, I need you to hide this diary. It was our Lords, and is very precious to me. But I need you to hide it. I trust you so I trust your judgment in where to put it." I handed him the diary carefully.

"I need you two to hide these items with your life, they are too important. You both were some of his much trusted Death Eaters, and now I am putting my trust into you" I smiled, even at Bellatrix.

"Thank you my lady" they said, bowing to me.

"Bellatrix, you are dismissed; goodbye for now" she got up, bowed again and left. I felt her leave the grounds and apperate away.

"My Lady you cannot stay here!" Lucius said concern deep in his voice.

"Where am I supposed to go? I know, I know, the authorities will be here soon, but I have nowhere to go. Do you really think my family will accept me back into their arms, after marrying the Dark Lord? Besides I have no wish to go back to my mudblood loving parents" I spit out.

"We have an extra wing at my manor. Please come live with us, I know Narcissa would be so please. She's pregnant now, and needs some women help"

I wiped my eyes, making the small tears disappear.

"You are too kind to me Lucius. Of course I will come live with you. But we must hurry; I can feel people coming closer to the manor." I hissed. I quickly magiced all my dresses into my bag, which could hold any number of items and grabbed Lucius's hand, dissaperating from the manor.
