A drabble for the Defining Moments challenge on xoxLewrahxox's forum. About Bellatrix – because I couldn't possibly do someone else, lol...
Defining Moments
Everyone remembers a moment they consider very special, something that changed their life irrecovably. What was the defining moment for Bella? Narcissa? Lucius? Rodolphus? What is a "defining moment" exactly? Feel free to being your own interpretation to this. Just make sure it's only 100 words. ;) Whatever you do, have fun!
She likes to think that her life changed drastically the day she took the Mark. Or the day she met her master's bloody gaze for the first time. Surely, she dove into them like in a intoxicating vortex of power, and she was breathless with the yearn to reach forward and touch that god-like man. Surely, her life wasn't hers anymore after that night.
Yet the most violent turn in her life came shortly after that night – the first thread of insanity plunged into her soul, when she entered her sister's room, out of boredom, and found it empty.
