A/N: OMG! I just figured out that it has been 7 MONTHS since I have last updated! EEK! SORRY! I really am, but hey I'm back now! YAY! And I will finish my 3 fanfics coz I love them! Right OK, so if you have not read them for a while just to clarify, this chapter is just after Bella becomes a death eater and Voldemort has just told Rodolphus to marry Bella. Also Andromedia is "dead" supposedly and Bella "killed" her when she killed her child. Clear? Gdgd, right OK PEOPLE! Here it is! The next chapter WOOHOO! Ahem…
Bella's POV:
"Hello Bellatrix, and what may I do for you?"
Shit, I thought she was supposed to be out! I'll bloody kill Lucius…
"Nars! Nothing really, I just thought that I would come round to see how you are."
"How very nice of you Bella, please come inside. You'll have to excuse Lucius though; he's been in a foul mood all day."
HA! I bet he bloody has…
"Oh don't worry; I know what he's like." I laugh and sit down opposite my sister in the reception room rather awkwardly. She starts fussing around me as per usual and pouring cups of tea which at that moment, I wanted to throw right back at her. Instead I smiled sweetly and tried to arrange my face in a mildly interested manner.
"I have missed you Nars, you hardly ever come and visit anymore!" I say through gritted teeth.
"Oh my dear little sister I am so sorry!" she cooed and scooped me up in a rather tight hug. The silly cow, she is so stupid! Does she not realise ANYTHING? It was then, lost in my thoughts, which I suddenly and sickeningly realised that I hadn't covered my arm up. Shit!
"BELLATRIX!" she screamed right down my ear as her fingers passed over the dark mark, I winced, partly from her shrieking voice down my ear and partly because my mark was now burning almost unbearably.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE YOU SILLY GIRL!" she shrieked even louder.
There was a deafening crash from the upper floors and extremely loud stomps before Lucius, shouting and swearing at the top of his lungs burst into the room.
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NARCISSA! WHAT ARE YOU BLOODY SHOUTING FOR?" he stopped still at the sight of me and swallowed hard.
"LUCIUS! We have guests!" hissed Nars urgently and pointing at me. "Don't be so rude and come and say hello to my sister." She ordered and removed me from her grip.
Awkwardly Lucius did as he was told and strode towards me before lightly brushing my cheek with his lips. I instantly pulled back my stomach fluttering nervously. I hated it when we had to act this way in front of Nars, she was my sister after all, and didn't deserve such treachery.
"Bellatrix" said Lucius coldly and nodding at me.
"Lucius." I returned just as coldly.
"Lucius did you know of this?" shot Narcissa whilst grabbing my arm and showing him my mark. Lucius turned his head away from his wife so she couldn't see his expression. Then he closed his eyes for a second as though dread filled his entire body and then snapped them open to glare at me with such loathing that I thought he was going to strike me dead.
"How could you be so stupid Bella - trix?" He added quickly, keen not to show any familiarity with me.
"I know Lucius, its ridiculous! You shall have to speak to Tom and see if he won't change his mind –"said Narcissa almost hysterically.
"I cannot do that, once Tom has chosen someone, they cannot go back." He hissed shaking his head.
"GOOD! Because I don't want to go back! It's is the best thing have ever done in my entire life. And the dark Lord isn't frightening at all; in fact he's quite intriguing…" I say looking pointedly at Lucius and enjoy his angered expression. What was coming next I did not expect…
"Oh Bellatrix! You sound just like your dear Andromedia…" he hisses at me. I laugh hysterically.
"I do! How very thrilling!" I smile at Nars and give look at Lucius with such hurt that he looks away ashamed. I can't believe he has just said that to me…he knows what Andromedia did, and he says that!
"Well…if you excuse me Nars, I think I will go now." I state and straighten up.
"But Bella, you have only just arrived!" said Nars bewildered.
"Yes I no, but I have things to do, I'm sorry. I shall see you soon." I say, and then kiss her on the cheek, glare at Lucius, and appariate from the room.
(A/N; ok there's meant to be some here, but they won't work - so just imagine them 4 me!)
"Why don't you just piss off Lucius?" I scream at him when he knocks upon my door.
"I'm so sorry Bella." He begs. His voice which was so soft and gentle floats over to me and plucks at my heart strings.
"Oh just go away." I sob unable to keep my tears locked away any longer.
"Oh please don't cry! I'm sorry." And after no reply. "Bella please let me in."
"NO! PISS OFF!"
"Well fine then, I'll just sit out here all night." And I actually hear him sit down as he back hits my door.
With a tremendous sigh I flounce up and fling my door open. He scrambles up instantly and pulls me to him.
"Lucius!" I hiss. "Not here!" and drag him inside urgently.
"Oh God Bella! I was so scared; I thought you would never forgive me…"
I scoffed loudly. "By all rights I shouldn't. In fact I haven't, how dare you even speak her name!"
"I know, I know and I'm sorry!" he begs.
"It's not good enough Lucius." I snap turning my head away.
"Well then." He says huskily. "I will have to make it up to you." and then he starts to lightly kiss my neck sending shivers down my spine.
Try as I may, I just couldn't continue being so unforgiving, and he knew I couldn't.
"Oh Lucius! Why do you do this to me?" I moan softly. "Why are you so horrible?" I whisper close to his mouth so our breath mingles together.
"Isn't that why you love me?" He laughs then kisses me passionately.
"Excuse me!" I say. "Who said anything about love?" I tease, Lucius however doesn't see it that way and steps back slightly.
"I thought…" he begins hurt.
"I was joking, I was joking!" I rush scared of breaking the atmosphere and pull him towards me again.
"Bella, I'm serious…" he continues.
I ignore him and go to unbutton his shirt. However I jump as he pulls my hands away.
"Bella stop it!" he says harshly.
"Oh Lucius come on, I was joking!" I laugh.
"Were you?"
"YES!" and after this he gives me a cynical frown, I look at him simpering. "Lucius…I'm sorry." I whisper sadly looking at him sulkily. He rolls his eyes and smiles finally.
"You will be the death of me woman!" he laughs and pushes me onto the bed playfully. I giggle and pull him on top of me kissing him even more passionately.
It was then that my door burst open and a sharp gasp cuts between us. Lucius and I spring up startled to see the Dark Lord stood grinning in front of us.
"Oh please, don't let me disturb you." he smirks.
I bow my head, my cheeks flaming with humiliation.
"Lucius, I am surprised at you! You told me that you no longer cared for the girl."
"I am sorry Master." Says Lucius averting his eyes to the floor.
"Oh don't apologise Lucius, it is you who has to live with your love now."
"What do you mean Master?" asks Lucius. As reply, the Dark Lord turns to me and asks;
"Has Lestrange not spoken to you Miss Black?"
"No My Lord…why?" I ask bewildered. This seemed to annoy him for some reason.
"WHY! Because you are to be married! That is why! And this filthy little affair must end now. Do you understand me?" The Dark Lord looks at us both seething with anger. I gasp utterly shocked.
"But Master!" I plead.
"ARE YOU DEFYING ME BELLATRIX? CRUCIO!" he roars and I start to fall in agony, my legs giving way. Through the pain and tears I feel that Lucius catches me shaking with rage himself.
"Master please! Please stop! Don't hurt her!" he yells.
The last thing I hear when the curse is lifted is the Dark Lord's cold laugh and then sickeningly;
"Oh what a fool you are Lucius, it appears I need to teach you a lesson…"
A/N; there you go then. AWWWWWWWWWWWW don't you just love Lucius? I do! I love Bella/Lucius fics! Anyways, I actually know what's gonna happen next, and I will write it right now, promise. But I will post this first so you don't have to wait any longer. I'm sorry X1000! It will never happen again promise; the longest any other updates will be is two weeks at the most.
