Yes, new Potter news. Fenir has been giving the job to track Potter and he's just found the 5th Horcrux. The only remaining ones left is my Lord's body and Nagini. I'd die for my Lord and sacrifice myself if it wasn't for the duty of caring for the heiress. I love both the Dark Lord and Serpentine, and wouldn't give up one for the other. Once Potter finds his way to the Riddle House, Grindlewald knows what will happen. Yet the second war still rages on even though we've suffered more loses and a have had a new gain. Having the heiress should come as a great deal of joy for me…and it has and even if something does happen to my Lord, there's still the new future. But things can happen…what if Potter goes after Serpentine? And now that she's born there's an even greater threat on us from Nagini.
She hasn't been seen for months. Not even a skin…My Lord has no idea where she might have gone. But for the time being, our small family has gotten closer together as both Potter and Nagini close in on us.
I sleep curled up underneath the covers at night against the Dark Lord while Serpentine sleeps soundly between us. We make extra bottles before we go to bed so we don't have to get up at night. We have the door locked at all times of the night and we never leave each other's side. I was awoken in the middle of the night by a little someone who had just kicked me in the stomach. I bent down and kissed her and then kissed my Master's forehead before getting out of bed. I was wide awake within a few seconds. The floor, even though it was a hot, sweaty July night, was so cold it was as if I had stepped out onto a ice covered lake. I didn't feel like going back to bed. For some reason, something felt wrong. I looked behind me at the tiny child curled up in her father's arms. I rubbed my shoulders and turned towards the door and took small steps across the floor. I was 3 feet away from the door when I heard a low hiss. I froze and felt as thought I died. The hiss came from within the room. I was too dark to see anything. The moonlight was only shining upon the bed and across the floor the door, not in the corners, but I knew she was coiled up in one of the. I could feel her eyes on me. I wanted so much to poke out those slit-like pupils. I turned and looked around. I heard another hiss behind me. I spun around and started to panic. I was breathing too loudly. I didn't want them to wake up. I backed up towards the bed and my foot landed on a large mass of slimy scales. I let out a abrupt scream and covered my mouth and spun around to check on my family. My Lord shifted, but didn't wake. I held my breath and looked down. Sure enough, I was starring into a great big pair of yellow eyes. I let out a small moan from behind my hands. I slowly moved towards the bedside dresser and reached out for my wand. Out of nowhere, Nagini's tail swiped my wand off the table and it hit the floor and rolled into the shadows where it was gone from my sight. She advanced towards me. I wanted to scream but didn't want to wake the baby.
"Master….my Lord…Master!" I hissed. Please wake up…please… I thought. I backed up into the wall and she was about 6 feet away. I can't believe this is happening…I'm going to die… Or was I? Nagini raised her head to strike and right before she did, a soft cooing of hisses came to our ears. The Dark Lord was speaking Parstletongue...but he wasn't exactly speaking, he was….singing. I slid down the wall and listened to his voice. I looked over at him and his dark outline was sitting up. He got out of the bed and started to walk over to us very slowly, he didn't stop singing. It was so peaceful and seducing that Nagini was moving back and forth almost as dancing to it…but…she wasn't, she was being charmed. She coiled down and fell asleep. I closed my eyes on his final note of the song and after 3 seconds I felt his hands grab my wrists. He pulled me to my feet and embraced me tightly. I didn't open my eyes though. He lifted me up in his arms and carried me to the bed and laid me down. He crawled into bed with Serpentine and I and held my hand.
I awoke the next morning to find….nothing. Serpentine was gone. I sat quickly and looked around.
"Serpentine! Master!" Master ran in the room empty-handed and ran over to me.
"What's wrong"
"Where's the baby"
"She's with your sister, calm down." I fell back into my pillow and sighed. He laughed coldly and kissed me. "Where's Nagini?" I asked….silence…I looked up at him. He was looking at me with regret in his eyes.
"I killed her." I sat up slowly and asked breathlessly, "What?" He nodded.
"She was causing too much trouble and I couldn't afford losing you"
"My Lord…she was one of your Horcruxes…You've made destroying you easier for Potter." He bowed his head. "I had to. She was too much. I shouldn't have trusted her. I almost lost you." I grabbed his head and kissed the top of it and looked him in the eyes.
"I'm going to lose you soon!" He grabbed my hands and held them close to him.
"Don't say that! You'll never lose me!" I opened my mouth to fight back but he kissed me. He laid me back and he sat on top of me. He kissed my neck and I closed my eyes. Memories of the old times filled my head. The time when he first refused me:
"Bella! You can't"
"Master, just listen"
"No...I've heard enough."
"MASTER!"
"What"
"Just tell me why you're mad"
"Because...There's nothing I can give you in return, Bella. You're my Death Eater, not my lover."
Or when we first made love:
His tongue, trailing down her neck gave her the most chills she's ever experienced in a night. She couldn't stand having his pale, cold and long, bony fingers gripping her sides, his nails digging into her skin.
What if I never told him my feelings? What if I was still a Death Eater? One thing is for sure, I wouldn't be laying underneath him right now. Also, I wouldn't have giving birth to the heiress and Nagini would still be alive. He stopped kissing my neck and looked up at me.
"You alright?" I smiled and nodded.
"Yes." I kissed him and rolled over onto him.
"Just like old times?" I looked down at my Dark Mark and frowned, then looked back at my Master.
"Yeah."
