A/N: Okay, I've made my decision about Harry's decision. I hope it's the right one.

Oh, and yet again the link I put up didn't work! Dammit! adultfan .nexcess. net/ aff/ story. php? no=% 2012598 is the link, just remove the spaces. Hopefully it'll work this time. And if it doesn't go to adultfanfiction.net and search for vertex.

Chapter 7

Roughly 24 hours had passed in the dungeon Harry was in since the Dark Lord had left last time, and Harry knew he would be arriving again soon.

"So, Potter, have you decided if you want to stop all of the deaths yet?" asked Voldemort when he entered Harry's cell.

Harry stayed silent. He had indeed decided, but he didn't want to reveal his choice too soon.

"Well?!"

Harry could feel through his scar that the Dark Lord was getting impatient. That was probably a bad thing.

"Have you chosen?"

Again Harry stayed silent. Sometimes he just had to get on people's nerves.

"Cruccio!"

He screamed in pain. But then again, who wouldn't?

Vaguely he heard Voldemort asking him again if he had decided. Finally then curse was lifted.

"So tell me," said Voldemort sweetly, his voice sounding very similar to the same one

 he had used the day before. "Have you decided?"

"No."

"What?!"

"I... I won't join you Voldemort."

"Cruccio!"

Harry screamed again, writhing on the floor in pain, feeling as though his internal organs were being torn to shreds. He could feel in body convulsing in protest to such treatment.

"Nobody refuses Lord Voldemort!" Voldemort hissed in parseltongue, before turning and leaving the dungeon, his robes billowing behind him.

Harry lay back  against the wall again, shaking slightly from the after-effects of the curse. Maybe that hadn't been the best idea, refusing the Dark Lord's offer. But then again, it had gotten under his skin Harry thought with a slight smirk.

Bella walked down one of the passages in the dungeons of the Dark Lord's fortress nervously. She couldn't believe what she was about to do, and if she got caught she would probably be tortured and then killed for her treachery.

Quickly, she checked to see if anyone was coming, and, when she saw none were, she opened the cell door.

Harry was sat with his back against the wall, with his head down, though he looked up when she entered the cell.

"Get up!" she said urgently. "You've got to get out of here!"

"What?" asked Harry, perplexed.

"You've got to get out of here!" she said again. "And quickly!"

Harry stood up, scowling at her.

"Why should I trust you?"

"Because I'm the one who kept the Dark Lord from killing you straight away at Azkaban. Now hurry up!"

He looked at her dubiously, but realising he had no other choice, he walked quickly out of the cell.

"Here, take this!" Bella hissed quickly, shoving a wand - his wand - into his hands.

"How did you-" Harry gasped out.

"The ministry hold all of the wands of the prisoners that they have in Azkaban in a room in the prison. The Dark Lord took yours as a sort of prize. Just go! Stupefy me and go! It'll make it look like you escaped!"

"Why," Harry started, not going yet. "Why are you helping me?"

"Just go! I don't know why I'm helping you, just go!" said Bella, panicking  slightly. If he didn't go soon they would be caught.

Harry nodded, excepting that for an answer.

"Stupefy," he muttered softly, before turning and running off, praying that he had chosen the correct way out of the fortress.

A/N: Okay, I'm not entirely happy with this chapter, but it'll do. After all, I did go back and re-write it, which I never do, and I added a scene, so I suppose this is about as good as I'll get it. I'll probably get over it anyway.

Okay, a couple more things before I go onto to the review responses. First off... THERE'S 58 REVEIWS NOW! And for 6 chapters that works out at somewhere between 9 and 10 reviews per chapter on average. And to me that's a big deal.

And the other thing? Well, Harry went light, as you can see, but once I finish this fic and a couple of others so I don't have such a work load, I'll probably write an AU on this, where Harry did go dark. But that may take a while, as I have 2 other fics on the go, and one on hold. I may finish 1 of them today. Hopefully I will, but the others will take a while.

And now it's time for the part you've all been waiting for (okay, so that was the fic! You've probably not even bothered to read this part), the review responses!

Launigsiae: Yah, okay. I will continue anywayz.

Mike: Okay!

Lanfear1: That's the problem with fanfiction today! Not enough Harry/bella! Heehee!

diamond004: I know I'm mean to Harry! But if you only knew what my mind can think up for characters that I hate (i.e.: Ron) then you'd see I was actually being kind to him. Ron and Hermione are at Order HQ at the minute, and you'll see the rest of the wizarding world's reaction to Harry getting out of Azkaban soon enough.

Numba1: Yay! The pairings like me! Different!

Gaul1: You'll see soon enough.

The anonymous reviewer who didn't leave a name: This quick enough?

The Vampire Story Hunter: You do realise you totally stopped me from stressing about this, right? There will be a story following this, thanks to you, where he does go dark, like I've said before.

Vegita43: Yah, I'm attached to this pairing too. Only NEARLY NO OTHER AUTHOR HAS WRITTEN ONE! Sorry, I'm a little bit touchy about that.

LiL AcE ViLLa: Thank you! I'll try and get more of those moments in later on.

Nightwish_sama: It was! I hate it! Just like I hate (sort of) this chapter! And nothing you can say will persuade me otherwise!

Okay, that's everyone that shows up on the review page for the story so far. Thanks everyone!
