Okay, so last chapter, finally! This is probably the longest story I've ever written. I feel so accomplished. I'm going to start another chapter fic, definately Harry Potter, definately with Bella, haven't decided on plot or character yet, but look out for that. :D Thanks guys!
"What were you thinking? You could've both been killed!" Cissy's voice sliced through the air, I cringed, looking at Bella for support, hating how Cissy could make me feel like I was 10 years old again.
"I knew that wouldn't happen" Bella shot back, her eyes abridged to slits.
"You couldn't know that, Bella. He's the Dark Lord! It's not like you know his every move before it happens." Cissy's voice was frantic, her long fingers were shoved into her limp hair.
"I know him." Bella answered, "I know him…" the echo was a murmur, more for herself than anyone.
"Well, you're lucky. So, what does she live here now, happily ever after?" Cissy looked on the verge of tears, her eyes bordering on mad.
"Yes, she stays here, with us." Bella stressed the last word, for the first time I saw sadness in Bella's eyes, she was looking at her sister as if she wanted nothing more than to soothe her, to make her see the good in this situation.
"But what about…me and you?" a single tear slipped down Cissy's cheek, her body was shaking with what I knew was going to become sobs.
"Oh, don't be so overdramatic." We all jumped, the voice was male and was coming from somewhere behind us.
We all turned around to face a very amused looking Lucious.
"What are you doing here?" Cissy shot at him, his expression collapsed into anger.
"What am I doing here? I'm sorry, but I was under the impression that you are my wife…and therefore I could see you whenever I pleased" his nose crinkled in distaste.
Cissy looked like she was going to argue, but instead she shot a look at Bella and stood to cross the room to stand with her husband.
"Well…" she started, sniffling through her nose, "I guess…." She trailed off, her gaze was locked with Bella's and I saw the longing there…and I saw the longing flicker and die until Cissy was staring at her sister and her sister was staring back.
"I'll see you later" Cissy mused, smiling as she turned to Lucious, "Let's go" he seemed confused by the turn of events but nonetheless allowed his wife to lead him out of the room.
I pushed a small cough from my lungs to pull Bella from her trance, "Um, Bella, what exactly just happened?" I shot her a confused look.
"I..don't…know." she turned her head to look at me, and I knew she was telling the truth, she must have seen the change in Cissy too, in a matter of seconds the longing had vanished and was replaced with the look that a sister would give another sister, almost a look of understanding, platonic love at its best.
Whatever had happened it was good, and I sure as hell wasn't going to waste mine and Bella's time stressing over it, I had her and she had me, that was all that mattered.
I stood silently and offered her my hand, "Shall we?" I asked, helping her to her feet.
"Shall we what, my love?" she asked, letting me lead her to the door.
"Shall we retire to our bedroom?" I giggled, loving the way her faced flushed and her pupils dilated.
"Why, yes, that sounds splendid."

"Mmmm, Bella, you taste delicious" I raised my finger to her lips and moaned as she sucked off the juices, the inside of her cheek felt just like…well…the inside of somewhere else I explored often.
I licked my lips, lowering them to meet hers, pressing my body into her. We fit together like a puzzle.
And our hands…I slid my fingers through hers, and the match couldn't have been more perfect, the contrast of skin couldn't have been more beautiful.
The scattering of light between blue and brown eyes couldn't be more brilliant, and the scent that filled Bella's chamber couldn't have been sweeter.
I planted a lazy kiss on her forehead, I felt her humming before I heard the song.
I recognized it at once, "fall for you" the only song I had ever heard her sing, at the time I scolded myself for falling for Bellatrix Lestrange, mass murderer, but it had happened, I had fallen, but she had caught me, cushioned the fall with her strong arms and powerful kisses.
"tonight will be the night that I will fall for you…"
Bella, you captured me in that spell that I was so afraid you would cast.
Bella, Bella, Bella, you caught me.
