The next morning, Bellatrix woke up with a unbelievable headache, in a bed that wasn't hers. Bella tried to grope the bed to find some form of life. All she felt was emptiness.
She slowly opened her brown eyes. She didn't quite recognize the room she was in. Suddenly, she had memory flashes about last night. She saw him, his red eyes, and a lot of naked flesh.
She couldn't help to smile. She had done it. She killed the stupid teenage girl who was taking her place. She was back.
Well, that's what she thought.
After a long wait, Bellatrix decided that she couldn't wait for her Master any longer. She didn't know if Rodolphus was aware that she was still very much alive, probably more than ever.
So she folded down the covers, to realize she was completely naked. She looked around. Her clothes were missing. She jumped out of the bed, opened every drawer, search every wardrobe, her dress was nowhere to be found.
It was probably a joke from her Lord. When they were younger, he always played tricks on her. It was funny back then, but now that she had to run through an enormous manor to her room and half-naked, she wasn't laughing anymore
She pulled a bed sheet and wrapped it around her. Staring at door, she couldn't believe that she was actually going to do this. Thank Merlin, she knew where the shortcuts were.
She turned the handle and started to run.
She was almost out of the Dark Lord's quarter, she could almost see her room, when she suddenly bumped into something… well someone.
It was Severus Snape.
Damn it, Bellatrix thought.
-Going to a toga party Bella?
He didn't change either. He was still that tall man with disgusting hair. Bella always hated him. She knew he always liked to think that he was a cut above everybody else just because he was a ''spy''. But he couldn't fool Bellatrix. She, only she, knew that he was on Dumbledore 'side.
-Wipe that smug look off your face Severus.
She pushed him out of her way, but he grabbed her arm.
-What exactly do you think you're doing Severus?
He grabbed her other arm to pull her closer to him.
-I know what you did to that poor girl. You are a despicable woman and some day, you will get what you deserve.
Bellatrix didn't fear Severus, or destiny.
-Snape it would be kind of you if you would let go of my wife.
Rodolphus had heard them fighting from his room. And now, he wanted to talk to Bellatrix.
The potion master let go of Bellatrix and headed to the Dark Lord's quarter, biting his lips.

-You could have sent me a patronus to tell me you were still alive.
Bellatrix didn't even want to listen to his complaining. She was looking for something around the room, but wouldn't tell or husband.
-Sorry I was busy.
Rodolphus sat on the bed, with his forehead in both hands.
-I thought you were dead.
-Well, I'm here, and very much alive. Thank you.
Bellatrix haven't stopped to search for the necklace. She had it before Azkaban, and remembered letting it in this room before going to the Longbottom's.
-You slept with him, did you?
Bellatrix didn't want to tell him.
-Rodolphus, please don't ask question if you don't want to know the answer.
Then, she saw it, the gift from her Lord when she was marked. She took the pendant necklace and held it on her heart
-So we are back to this.
Understanding very well that he talked about her relationship with the Dark Lord, Bellatrix nodded.
-I'm afraid we are husband.
No matter how hard Rodolphus tried to keep his wife close to him and safe, Bellatrix was always slipping through his finger

Poor Rodolphus :s
It seems like I take pleasure to torture him! Sorry :P
I wanted to apologize for not writing a lot. This week was just horrible, I wanted to dig myself a hole and hide in it until Christmas… or Easter.
And I receive a lot of: I wonder what you will do now that Cassandra is gone. Don't worry, I think that Cassandra was just and adventure, and killing her was taking Bellatrix a step closer to where she actually wants to be. She still has to earn her place. And it won't be as easy as some of you may think.
