Reward System
Bellatrix stalked around the cage several times, smacking her wand against her hand. She trailed her fingers along the cage on her fourth pass. She gave him a small, very evil smile.
"How does it feel, my little man? To be penned up - the irony, Penn. Lap it up." She shoved his face into the bowl at her feet in the cage.
"What do you want?" Penn spat, his chin covered in the bowl's contents.
"I have a little chore for you, vampire." Bella shoved him back with her wand.
"And I would -" Pain wracked his body as he fell to the floor of the cage.
"Because I have your pathetic life in my hands. You are mine." Bella yanked his head up by his hair. "And when you finish your chore, I will give you a wonderful reward."
"What?"
"I will deliver you to your maker." Bella leaned closer to him. "You call him Angelus."
"What do you want me to do?" Penn returned her smile.
"First, I need you to send a message to my sisters." Bella grinned wickedly. "By way of their children."
