My parents were so proud the day I joined Voldemort and the Death Eaters. I was one of only two women who did and they were ecstatic that their little baby girl was joining the most noble organization on the face of the planet.

The day I joined changed my life and I'll never forget it. You see, it was the day I met…him. I walked into the room to get branded with the dark mark and I saw him. He was sitting in a large chair, his red eyes staring at me intently. His white skin seamed to glow and his figure was tall as he stood up to walk towards me. When he grabbed my wrist in order to brand me I noticed his fingers were long and bony.

I walked out of the room and leaned against the wall trying to catch my breath. I couldn't believe what was happening to me. My heart was thudding a million miles a minute and I couldn't get him out of my mind. I had fallen in love with The Dark Lord.

After that moment I live for the times I was in his presence…meetings and things like that. The few times where we were actually alone, mostly when he was giving me an assignment, were my favorite however and I learned to cherish them.

It became clear however, that Bella was his favorite. He had her sit on his right side at every meeting, sent her out on assignments that required very little risk, and he even started having private dueling lessons with her. The jealousy that overcame me surprised me in its intensity. I had always been taught to keep my emotions in check, but it seamed like two of my feelings could be repressed…my love towards The Dark Lord and my hatred towards Bella.

I started avoiding Bella at all costs, never speaking to her when we did meet. We had been good friends before (naturally, being the only two girls in the Death Eaters, we had to stick together) so this was a huge change, and she noticed my coldness. She confronted me about it one day and the conversation quickly turned into a duel. We fought like madwomen, but eventually she stunned me and walked away. Amycus came around an hour later and unfroze me. From that moment I knew I wanted revenge on Bella and all the pain she had caused me.

The opportunity came about a week later. It was Halloween 1981 and I, using a disillusionment charm fallowed Bella into one of her "dueling lessons" with The Dark Lord. I saw that they clearly weren't dueling and got excited. This was it! All I had to do was tell Rodolphus that his wife was cheating on him and it would all be over and my revenge would be complete! I ran to find him, but Amycus told me Rodolphus had left with the Dark Lord to the Potters as a kind of back up. I waited around for them to come back so I could spill the beans, but everything changed I revenge wouldn't come for fourteen more years.

Bella and Rodolphus were both thrown into Azkaban after the death of The Dark Lord, but me and Amycus managed to worm our way out of trouble. Those were the worst fourteen years of my life. For one thing, I never got my revenge and the desire for redemption was still strong in me. Second, my love was gone forever and that was the worst thought of all.

After thirteen years though he was back and he called us to his side! I wanted to run and kiss him when I saw him for the first time in all those years. The fact that Bella wasn't there was just an added bonus.

It didn't last long though because The Dark Lord released Bella and the others within the year. He called Bella in to him and it was time for revenge! I ran and told Rodolphus what was going on and he ran to go and confront them. Ahhh…revenge is sweet!
