Bellatrix looked down at Mulciber strapped down to the bed in his house. He was completely naked, and Bellatrix could see numerous fresh cuts and burns covering his body. Blood, urine and feces covered the sheets, he laid on. In addition, someone had also apparently broken every bone in his hands and feet. Leaning down so she could whisper in his ear, Bellatrix cooed, "Who did this to you, Mulci-darling? What did they ask?
What did you tell them?"
Mulciber replied with a ragged whisper in between bloody coughs, "It was the mudblood. The one that hangs around Potter."
"Now that wasn't so hard, was it? What else, Mulci?" Bellatrix asked as she softly stroked one of his checks.
"She wanted to know where the Dark Lord was, and asked about Horcuxes. Always asking about the Horcruxes. It hurts so much, how did she cause such pain?"
"She had a good teacher, Mulciber." Bellatrix said harshly as placed a hand on one of the open wounds. "Let me show you."
Bellatrix pressed on the wound, and Mulciber screamed. "What did you tell her? Tell me and I'll stop the pain."
"She knows where the Dark Lord is. I couldn't answer her other questions. I tried, but I didn't know what she wanted."
"Thank you, dear Mulciber. That's what I wanted to know." Bellatrix said in soft cooing voice. Standing up and straightening her robes, Bellatrix glared at Mulciber and spoke with cold tone. "You have failed our Lord, it's time to finish your punishment. Don't worry about your family, I will deal with them soon enough. Now this should keep you from getting too hot." Bellatrix passed her wand over Mulciber, then turned and walked out of the room trailing her wand along the walls, leaving behind a line of blue flame.
Standing outside the Mulciber house watching it burn, Bellatrix whispered to herself, "My little chickadee remembers and wants to play. Well, lets not disappoint her." She cocked her to the side, as if listening to something, then cast the Dark Mark above the burning house, then shifted into the form of a large raven and disappeared into the night sky.
