Always?

Chapter twelve
The Ugly Truth

Knock knock

Bellatrix opened her eyes slowly. It was 3 in the afternoon. She's been in this love coma for two weeks now. With no news from her Lord, she felt a bit lost, like she did when she was first torn apart from him in Azkaban. She hated seeing him leave, alone, for a trip. She had no clue of his destination, and was always scared that something bad would happen to him. She couldn't bare the thought of him slowly dying in a lost forest of Ireland.

Knock Knock

Damn door, Bellatrix thought. She hoped that it wasn't her fool of a husband, back from hunting with the boys. And by hunting, she meant killing a few muggles of a little village.

-You can come in, she said.

Instead of a tall man with a brown beard, she saw a tiny woman with blond hair. It was Narcissa, she hadn't seen her since the last meeting. Her little sister was probably worried about her. After all, she locked herself in her room and didn't want to go out of it, even if it was to get dinner.

The blond one sat on the bed

-Bella, it hurts me to see you like that.

She knew her sister was going to be cheesy and would bore her with her feelings.

-I'm alright Cissy, don't worry about me. When he'll be back, everything will get back to normal.

Narcissa didn't look reassured.

-I don't know Bella. Every time he leaves, you're all upside down, stay in the dark, and don't want to eat. You think that's healthy? What is it with him that make you act like that?

After all these years, her sister didn't guess what was going on between her and the Dark Lord.

-Sister, you should have guess by now.

Narcissa's jaw droped.

-I thought it was only rumors.

-Did you baby sister? Or you didn't want to believe those gossips were true.

Narcissa stood up, like she didn't want to touch her sister anymore.

-Bellatrix you are insane, he cannot love!

-Yes, I'm sure that deep down, he still can.

Suddenly, everything started to make sense to Narcissa. It explained a lot.

-Bellatrix, since when is that relationship is going on?

-Remember that night in Hogwarts when I went missing. You were in first year. When Slughorn found me I said that I've been wondering in the forbidden forest. Well it was a white lie. He asked me to find a way to get out of the school and meet him at his manor. That night was the turning point of my life.

Narcissa looked truly horrified. Trough all of these years, she lied to everyone about him. She cheated on her husband with no regrets.

-Did you sleep with him that night Bellatrix Black?

When Narcissa called her by her original family name, it was serious. But Bella doubted very much that her sister actually wanted to know what happened that night.

-Yes.

-Merlin that is terrible you were only thirteen back then!

-It was the best thing that ever happened to me. Now go away, and don't bother coming back until you're alright with my relationship with him. And please Narcissa, don't ask me to choose between you and him. I know what my answer would be.

A bloody Rodolphus entered the manor, joined by the master of the house Lucius. Both guys were proudly bragging about some new way to kill muggles that they discovered that night.

Narcissa was waiting for Rodolphus in a dark corner. She knew she shouldn't tell him what happened with Bellatrix, but she couldn't keep that secret too. She needed help, very badly.

Rodolphus was on his way when his sister-in-law bumped into him. Her white dress was probably doomed since it was covered of the blood of some dirty muggle.

-Oh Narcissa dear I'm so sorry.,.

-Doesn't matter Rodolphus, I'll clean it up with a spell later. I want to talk about Bellatrix. She's gone mad; you wouldn't believe what she told me this afternoon.

Rodolphus didn't seem surprise or interested.

-Narcissa, I love you dearie so I'll give you an advice: don't waste your time on her. She is not in her right mind.

-Not in her right mind, Narcissa shouted. She is practically in love with the Dark Lord. She is making a true obsession out of him. Well I knew he meant a great deal for her, he trained her after all, but it's gone too far. Since she's been back from Azkaban she is crazy.

Rodolphus stroke Narcissa's shoulder.

-Listen Narcissa, I know about everything. The lying, the cheating and that she loves him more than she will ever love me. I know about the first night she spent with him. And we cannot do anything about it. I'm done trying to win her heart back. It belongs to someone else, someone who doesn't give a damn about her. And I know about the baby too.

-THE WHAT?

Bellatrix was still in bed, caressing her mark, and talking to it.

-I won't listen to my sister, don't worry. She is the crazy one. She doesn't understand what it is we've got. It's more powerful than any magic. My lord, I can't wait for you to come back. I miss your touch. Promise me you will be back soon, I cannot live another moment without you my beloved.

One thousand eight hundred ninety three kilometers further, the Dark Lord, sat against a tree, listening to Bella's whispers.
