Chapter 13: Sisters

Andromeda's POV

Andromeda Tonks couldn't think, couldn't breathe, couldn't say how she felt at that moment. Before her lay her sister, her eldest sister. This is not how she wanted to meet up with her again. Her heart was breaking at the sight. Bellatrix laid on a heap on the florr, drenched and covered in mud. Her dress torn at the bottom, her hair tangled beyond belief, her sister.

Moody nudged her with his staff and growled, "Not so terrifying now," Andromeda knelt down beside her and pressed her hand against Bellatrix's cold cheek. She was unconscious.

"Remus, help me take her upstairs," She said softly. Lupin nodded and scooped her up in his arms.

"What? the murder gets the royal treatment now?" Moody spat.

"She is my family. Just because she has done some horrible things doesn't mean I stopped loving her," Andromeda retorted in a dangerously low voice. Moody huffed and strode away.

"Dora, will you please bring me a wet rag?" she said turning to her daughter. Andromeda began up the stairs, Lupin closely behind her. they stopped on the third floor and turned to the right. Andromeda took out her wand and quickly walked up to the fourth door on the left. She whispered a spell and the door unlocked, creaking open.

She waved her hand and the lantern in the corner lit.

"Lay her here," andromeda said motioning to the bed. Lupin laid Bella down gently and then backed up.

"Be careful,' he breathed, leaving the room.

Tonks appeared in the doorway and held out the rag refusing to enter.

"Thank you, dear, don't worry I'll be fine," Andromeda assured her. She closed the door and turned to the closet. She opened the door and pulled down a dress. It was covered in a thick layer of dust. She shook it gently and stifled a sneeze. She walked over to the bed and set the dress down on the end. She sighed and began to take off Bellatrix's boots. She pulled off the ruined dress, leaving her in her under clothes, and began to wipe away as much dirt as she could.

Andromeda gasped when she came to Bella's lower stomach. A large scar stretched across her in a jagged line. On her rib cage were numerous cuts and bruises. Andromeda lightly dabbed at her torso. Bellatrix's hand snapped up and grabbed her hand, Andromeda froze.

"Don't," she hissed.

"I need to, unless, you want them to get infected," Andromeda said calmly.

Bellatrix seemed to stop and think about this for a second. She then release her hand and stiffened.

"Just get it over with," she said. Andromeda continued her work, cringing inwardly every time Bella winced.

"I've missed you," Andromeda whispered breaking the silence.

Bella huffed and rolled her eyes. "Of course you did," she exclaimed.

Andromeda pressed on a wound causing bella to yelp.

"You really have no heart do you? I have thought of you since you left all those years ago. Worried about you. Do you know how hard it was to focus on myself, my child? It was murder. Not a scrap of news from you. All I hear is you killing people and being sent to Azkaban!" Andromeda was crying now. The tears falling onto her sister. She shut her eyes and flung the dress at her. Bellatrix silently slipped it on and sat up slowly, wincing from her wounds.

Andromeda had crossed to the other side of the room, with her back to her. Bella got up and walked over to her sister. She wrapped hr long arms around her, her black curly hair cascading down Andromeda's shoulder. Andromeda reached up and gently touched her hair.

"I'm sorry sister," Bella whispered.

Andromeda pulled out of the embrace and turned to look at her. Her brown eyes met her sister's pools of black. They were not the same eyes she remembered. These were hurt, sad, and angry.

"What happened to you?" she whispered grabbing Bella's arms.

"It's complicated," Bella replied.

"Then explainit, I want to know what happened to my sister," she urged.

Bella walked over to the bed and slumped down.

"I'm broken, Anne, I'm broken. I'm no the person you remember," Bella said.

Andromeda joined her on the bed, "Just tell me."

Bella sighed and bowed her head.

"After I left, I clung to Rodolphus. He is my support. We snuck away often from the Dark Lord to be alone. It seemed okay. Then we started getting caught. First it was just warnings, then torturing came. I was sent away more often on missions for him, each more dredful than the last. Before I was sent out one time, I snuck out to meet Rodolphus." Bella looked at Andromeda her eyes glassy with tears.

" I got pregnant, Anne," she chocked out.

"That's wonderful!," Andromeda exclaimed.

"It was, I was thrilled. I didn't last long though. Some way he found out, the Dark lord. He killed, took it out," her hands flickered to her stomach, "I remember him saying I was his before I blacked out. I seemed to take it out on everyone. I was finished, pushed too far. I tortured Frank and Alice Longbottom because they had a son, alive and healthy. I couldn't stand it," Bellatrix sobbed. Andromeda didn't know what to say. "I am sorry, but somethings are best not to dwell on. We need your help now. Don't go back to him, stay here with me," Andromeda said holding her sister, "We don't want anybody, especially Harry to live in pain anymore. We don't want him to end up like Voldemort."

"This madness needs to stop," bella whispered, "Just make it stop."

Bella had curled up into a ball and was shaking with silent sobs.

It was like she was child, just wanting to find under the covers and make the monsters go away.
