A Dose of Hurt and Gratefulness
"Is this revenge? You have lost my favour, so you think you should leave? And what was plan then Bellatrix. Feed secrets to the Order perhaps or declare how willing you are to change? Then what was the next stage, Oh yes Azkaban and who would be stupid enough to save you then, because it would be certainly not me!" The disappointment and coldness in My Master's voice, hit me like knifes piercing my skin. It would have been better if he had shouted.
I am at his feet; tear tracks on my cheeks. More tears threatening to flow.
"No Master No! I thought I wanted out! I changed my mind I swear. Regret filled every inch of my body!" I shrieked.
"I saw the letter, You traitorous cow! Crucio" He shouts that sentence.
Hot blazing fire seems to be engulfing my body, getting hotter with each second. I can't hold back the scream and let it out. My Lord's eyes light up in excitement. After what seems like an eternity he takes it off me; I am lay panting at his feet.
"My Lord and My Master, Please have mercy, You are merciful, such a merciful lord." I whisper through desperation.
"Sweet talk, will not get you out of this one. Crucio." He screams.
Once again the fire of the pain engulfs me.
"Master! Please the pain is too much! I am sorry I really am." I sob.
His pitiless eyes bore into to me like a lion spotting its pray. My Master shakes his head.
"What has happened to my faithful Bellatrix? Willing to fight to the Death? Willing to accept all punishment without screaming and not pleading desperately?" He whispers this, like the serpent he is. Just about audible above the wind outside.
" I didn't want to do it. Look into my mind. See my doubts, my fears. See how much I love you." The last 3 words slip from my mouth like slipping on ice.
"Love." He whispers. He laughs. "How can you love a Dark Wizard, whose power is compared to yours nothing?"
I know this is a question I am not meant to answer, but cover the silence by kissing the hem of his robes.
"Bellatrix, In your mind I see what you have said. But you deserve every ounce of pain that I am going to cast upon you now!" He says firmly.
The distress of my body continues until daylight breaks, but during that time I feel my consciousness slipping. My masters words echoing vaguely in the distance. A few phrases I did catch were ' Faithful you once were' ' Azkaban changed you Bella' and ' Do that again and I will slaughter you without mercy."
OoOoo
I wake in a dungeon cell, in the depths off Riddle Manor. The hardness of the bed is not natural. And the single white sheet provides no warmth.
Pain courses through my veins as I sit up. Tears come thick and fast down my cheeks. I thought he forgave me my mind screamed! He puts me in a cell used for mudbloods!
The door bangs open, making me jump in shock. There he stands with his arrogant face, his hair coming down to his shoulders. His unshaven beard. In fact every part of Yaxley's body is dancing in excitement.
"Yaxley, I want to see the Dark Lord!" I yell at him.
"Tough luck Bwellakins. The great master, doesn't want to see the pathetic, stupid servant." He says with an air of reading a story to a 3 year old.
"Please Yaxley. I want to see him." I say.
Yaxley makes an impatient sigh and goes from the room. The door slamming as soon as he goes through it.
A few minutes pass. Regret bubbles up inside me. I don't even know why I agreed to do it, run away. Thank Merlin My Lord Voldemort didn't kill me. Tears start to flow with remorse, an emotion I have always felt when the Dark Lord punished me.
The door opens yet again, and I wipe my eyes quickly.
"What is with the tears?" He says.
"Master. Thank you for not killing me." I say.
"I have just realised something Bellatrix." The Dark Lord says after a few moments.
"What Master?" I say, actually quite confused.
"You only call me master when I have punished you and you are begging for mercy." He says.
"Automatic I guess." I reply quietly.
I gasp as pain shoots down my left arm. The Dark Lord is not even close to me, he is at the other side of the room.
"Don't be alarmed Bellatrix, It is simply your nephew. I think he has succeeded in fixing the Vanishing cabinet." He whispers.
"Vanish- " I begin, but My Lord hands me a letter. It explains that the Vanishing Cabinet is a pair and that there is one in Borgin and Burkes, then the other one is at Hogwarts. There is a connection between them, so if you enter the vanishing cabinet at Borgin and Burkes, you will come out at Hogwarts.
"Get out of here Bellatrix! Tonight and I want you there or else!" Threateningly he says.
The Dark Lord, would he kill Draco if he doesn't succeed? I wonder, as I walk up the stairs to the main part of the Manor.

A/N: Reviews would be appreciated. Even if it is like a simple sentence. I want to know whether you are liking it.
