Bellatrix grit her teeth as Voldemort stared at her, "Ah, young Lestrange. Come and let me see if you are a worthy Death Eater."
There were a few snorts of laughter as Bellatrix stood and walked over to the Dark Lord, Rodulphus nodded encouragingly as she bowed and looked him in the eyes unflinching, "My lord."
She held her tanned left arm out as Voldemort gave a faint smile, "Legilimens."
Bellatrix forced herself to let the Dark Lord sift through her memories as she opened her eyes to the flashes.
Bellatrix was laughing with Andromeda after the N.E.W.T.s as they lay in the grass of Hogwarts. A boy was there and Bellatrix angrily was shooting hexes and jinxes at him. Her dark eyes burning in anger as he screamed from her curse, his eyes filling with fear as curses hit him.
Andromeda was yelling at Bellatrix angrily, the day she left for Ted. There was a full scale argument before she ran and disapparated.
Bellatrix shooting curses and hexes at Rodulphus as they dueled each other until one hit him and he flew back. She swiftly dodged his next set of spells before stepping onto the offensive using her non-verbal magic.
The memories only lasted for a second each yet the whole memory was there shining like a raindrop. Voldemort nodded thoughtfully and raised his wand, touching the tip to Bellatrix's forearm. She bit her lip against the pain as it scorched the soft skin burning the Dark Mark; a snake knotted from a skull's jaws hissing red.
"Thank you my lord," she whispered drawing her arm back. She met his red eyes with her own and for a second a rush of love fluttered through her, "Master."
Voldemort nodded, "You are all dismissed, except you Lestrange."
Rodulphus looked at his wife in alarm but Bellatrix shook her head, one by one the Death Eaters disapparated leaving Bellatrix alone with Voldemort, "My lord?"
"Crucio!" Voldemort shouted. Pain flared inside her knowing out of her body like a nest of angry snakes had formed in the heart of her body.
She grit her teeth as she doubled over unable to scream and unwilling to fall over and look weak. He continued to torture her until she was only mind numbing seconds from insanity and stopped, "Oh my dear Lestrange, so strong is she?"
Bellatrix couldn't breathe as she looked up at him from her knees, her hair messy and her long fingers tangled into the curls from her attempts to rip her hair out. Her eyes had visibly dilated in fear and pain showing more white than brown. Her lip had burst from biting to hard and a small trickle of blood had made its way down to her chin.
"Lestrange!" Voldemort wrenched her chin up, "Look at me when I'm talking to you!"
Bellatrix untangled her finger and nodded, "Yes my lord…"
Voldemort grinned and raised his hand, pain flared in her right cheek as it struck hard, "You must be bended to my will Lestrange, I will pay a bit more attention to your progress. Do not fail me Lestrange or you will be severely punished."
"Yes my lord," Bellatrix answered immediately cupping her cheek in her hand as the other whipped the blood from her lip away, "Anything to please you."
"Go home!" he yelled. Bellatrix did one last bow before disapparating to the Lestrange Manor.
"Bell!" Rodulphus cried when she appeared. Her eyes glassy in pain as her lips started to bleed a bit more heavily, "What happened?"
Bellatrix shook her head dazed as she saw black spots dance in her vision, she was swaying on her feet and the next moment she was falling.
Blood left a coppery taste in her mouth when she woke up in her bed, her lip had been healed while her hair combed and neat. Rodulphus was sitting next to her his grey eyes filled relief, "Bell, good morning."
Bellatrix closed her eyes again as a small smile played on her lips, "Thanks Rodu."
He gently pressed his kiss to her scarlet lips and she pressed in harder aching for her lover, when he drew back she grinned her energy returning, "Lets grab a bite to eat!"
Rodulphus's arm wrapped around her waist pulling her into him as she hungrily ate a plate of chicken salad. She leaned onto his muscular form once she finished and left to dress, when she returned she wore a black corset dress and gloves. The gloves did not touch her hands but were connected to the dress with thin strands of thread.
"You look gorgeous Bella," Rodulphus smiled kissing her cheek.
"Thank you Rodu," Bellatrix nodded her hooded eyes closing, she was jerked back to a burning sensation on her arm, the Dark Mark changed from red to black calling her.
"You better go," Rodulphus whispered, "He doesn't like to be kept waiting."
Bellatrix nodded and disapparated with a quiet pop that was almost inaudible to a bystander. She appeared in the room along with four other Death Eaters and quickly bowed to Voldemort with murmurs of, "My lord."
"I have a task!" Voldemort announced, his red snake eyes raking across the bowed Death Eaters and lingered on Bellatrix, "It is quite important and must be successful even if it means to forfeit your lives."
Bellatrix nodded and tilted her head eager to hear the news, "You must disguise yourself and kill the Randers for they have almost found and captured some Death Eaters. Leave no one alive or you will die by my hands."
"Of course my lord!" Bellatrix cried, "Right away!"
Voldemort nodded as he hissed, "I want this completed by two days."
Bellatrix glared at the members of the team and back to Voldemort a strange feeling fluttering inside her, love? Admiration? She bowed before following the group to the planning room.
"Avada Kedavra!" Bellatrix shouted as burst after burst of green shot from her wand, they had broken their way into the home killing everyone inside but the last few were putting up a nasty fight.
"Diffindo! Reducto!" Bellatrix blocked a spell and returned one hitting the Auror in the chest. Her brown eyes wild with energy as she let out a bone chilling cackle, mad and exhilarating, "Those who defy the Dark Lord will perish! Avada Kedavra!"
The last Rander fell silently his eyes glassy and dead, Bellatrix let out another cackle of laughter before shouting, "Morsmordre!"
The spell shot up into the air high above the Rander's house exploding into a skull and a snake coming from its mouth. With that the Death Eaters disapparated to Voldemort's side to announce their victory one person short, Avery was dead.
