Chapter two: A story
Bellatrix's glassy look roamed the room. Her eyes filled with tears again. How could she let this happen? How? Why did it always happen to her? Not Cissy, no Meda. Its wasen't fair… Bella stopped thinking to hear a knock on the door.
- Who is it? – She croaked, a bit surprised to hear her own voice, since she hadn't talked for several days.
- Belle, - said a familiar woman's voice from behind the door, - Belle, remember me?
Bellatrix's grief covered her memory with mist. She tried to remember, but just couldn't. The voice was so calm, gentle and so loving, just like her mother's voice.
- No, - she answered rising from the armchair she was sitting in, - who are you?
- Bella, open the dang door it's me, Andromeda, - said her sister nervously from the other side.
- MEDA! – Screamed Bellatrix happily swinging the door open, - It's you.'
Andromeda hugged her sister.
- Oh, Bella, '– she muttered looking at her, - when was the last time you ate?
That was unexpected for Bellatrix.
- I don't remember, - she confessed turning a bit pink.
- Bellatrix are you mad? – Shrieked her sister furiously, - you're responsible for two live! How could you? Stupid Bella, come on!
And so Meda dragged her sister down to the kitchen and made her eat almost half of the resources of food, which was at the Lestrange Manor.
After they're lunch Andromeda and Bellatrix went to sit in the living room, Bellatrix glum again.
Her sister hugged her gently.
- Everything will be okay, - she whispered in Bella's ear, - I promise.'
It was so touching that Belle couldn't hold back tears any longer. That evening she felt as thought there wasen't any tears left to cry, but was wrong. Even thought Andromeda begged her to calm down, reminded her about the unborn child, hugged her, kissed, did everything she could to make the suffering easier for her sister, Bellatrix couldn't control the tears falling rapidly down her face.
Closer to 9 she finally fell asleep on her sister's lap. Andromeda stroked her on the head gently.
'Poor Belle,' she muttered softly, 'I'm so sorry for you.'
Her voice was so loving and understanding, that anyone who saw this would understand that Meda was an angel, loving, compassionate.
Suddenly Bellatrix woke up and looked at Andromeda. Her green eyes were clouded with pain.
- Andy, - she whispered grabbing her by the hand, - I must tell you something important.
- Was ist los, Belle? - Asked her sister on clear German, - sage mir, bitte*.
- Remember, - began Bella, - a couple of years ago I disappeared. You couldn't find me –
- I remember! Me and Cissy thought you were dead,' said Andromeda, - glad you are still with us.
- Anyway, - said Bella, - I was pregnant… Oh, don't say anything!... So I was pregnant from Voldemort, and I… I lost the child. It was a miscarriage. He hates me, Andromeda, for that. That's why he wants my child. It's payment, Meda, for my mistake. But I was only 17 then, I was so young and stupid.
And Bellatrix burst into tears again.
Andromeda was pale, her buiterfull blue eyes focused horrified on her sister.
- Bella, - she gulped a single teardrop on her face, -I…What… Why didn't you tell us earlier?
- I didn't want anyone to be sorry for me, - answered her sister tragically.
They sat in silence for a couple of time.
- We should call Cissy, - said Andromeda finally, standing up.
- No! Andi, no! I don't want Narcissa,' screamed Bellatrix I terror grabbing her sister by the sleeve of her dress.
Andromeda, surprised, sat back down.
- I thought you loved her so much,' she said not understanding, - she loves you too.
- That's why I don't want her here,' sight Bella tiredly, - I don't want to break her heart.
- How can you, - smiled Andy softly, stroking her hair again.
- Andy, - said Bellatrix going whiter and whiter with each minute, - promise me, that you won't tell anyone.'
- I wont, - she promised, now as pale as Bella.
- The father of my child is not Rudy, - said Bellatrix in one breath.
- Than who is? – stared Andromeda so surprised.
- Lucius…- answered her sister going pink.
Sorry, its a bit Small!
