A/N: This is the last chapter of Path of Destiny, I hope you have enjoyed the series! There is torture on Bellatrix's part and the last few thoughts before she goes fully insane!
Bellatrix held back a scream as Voldemort's curse was lifted, her eyes threatening to spill tears. She was at her master's feet shaking from the torture of the failure in his eyes, her hair unkempt and her lower lip trembled in fear. Her cheek was red from him hitting her harshly as he tortured her.
"You let Avery die?" he hissed grabbing her tussled hair and spitting in her face, "Crucio!"
She bit back another scream as her body shook from the pain, tears stained her cheeks immediately as she pleaded, "Master please, I'm sorry! Please stop! Please…"
Her voice died as he hit her cheek with such force her lip burst as he dragged it over her mouth, this made her will crumpled and she let out a strangled scream. He hit her gain as he moved closer, "Lestrange, I told you I was watching you, you are to be punished for failing me."
"Good," he hissed throwing her shivering body down while she tried to protest against the pain.
He just walked out of the room leaving Bellatrix curled on the floor crying softly as if she didn't want him to hear even if she knew he was gone. Pain rocketed through her body as she tried to stand only to fall back down and curled up tears flowing from her eyes. There were hands and she was being lifted, Rodulphus holding her gently apparated to the Lestrange Manor.
With precise skill Rodulphus healed the visible wounds as she cried softly now, weakened and broken by her master. He gently whispered in her ear until she fell asleep the pain gone from her face in sleep.
"Oh Bella," he whispered, "What has he done to you?"
Bellatrix grinned her lips curling as Voldemort brushed by her, "Bella, spy on Lucius will you?"
"Of course my lord," she whispered her breath full of admiration and love. Driven mad with desire, Bellatrix had become his right hand and the only woman in his inner circle. Her brown eyes misted as he nodded at her. He knew she only meant to serve him, he owned her.
Quietly, she slipped from the study in the Malfoy Manor to her sister waiting outside the door her face pale. Her large blue eyes met her sister's and quickly looked away to ignore the churning madness in their depths.
Bellatrix had lost her loving qualities years ago bending to the Dark Lord's will, stony and lifeless unless it was to the Dark Lord whom she adored. Her warm eyes cold and mad and her soft voice tainted with insanity. Her soul poisoned with desire of darkness that Voldemort had honed.
"Bella?" Narcissa whispered her blue eyes downcast as she tried to do many other times.
Bellatrix turned to her sister, "What is it Cissy?"
"Did he?" Narcissa whispered under her Bellatrix's glare.
"None of your business!" Bellatrix hissed walking away; her black lace dress billowed around her skinny frame from the days of endless tasks for the Dark Lord. Titanium, emotionless to anything but her master.
Bellatrix turned the corner to her room and slammed her door shut, her eyes unfocussed as she collapsed in her bed. Her hair messy from the months of neglect, her beauty she had prided herself on was almost gone except for her eyes and her scarlet lips. Weak from lack of food and over exhausting her body left it weak.
Residing in the Malfoy Manor since Rodulphus had gone off on the Dark Lord's orders was normal for her since she never wanted to wander the hall alone except with shadows. Her sister seemed to try to get her love back but it was gone and sheared off from Voldemort's many tortures.
"I sold my soul to him," Bellatrix whispered to herself, "He is my love, he has my soul, my life, my body."
He head lolled back into her pillow as she turned so her legs were propped up on the wall and she was looking into an upside-down full-body mirror at herself. Her eyes closed as she felt the blood rush to her face, her long hair tumbled down her shoulders at the thought of pleasing the Dark Lord.
"My lord?" Bellatrix purred, "You called me?"
"Ah Bella," Voldemort nodded to her, "You are a powerful one aren't you? Do you wish to join your husband in my inner circle for more dangerous tasks?"
"Yes!" Bellatrix nodded eagerly her eyes misting, "Of course my lord! Anything for you!"
Voldemort brushed her hair aside and suddenly there was a flash of pain, Bellatrix blinked and shook her head to clear it. Her breath snagged as he moved back and disappeared, Bellatrix felt a tear slid down her face.
She was trapped now and for the rest of her life by Voldemort forced to serve him forever until her death. Bellatrix closed her eyes as a shiver ran through her body, she would never really be at his side voluntarily, and she would have to be cursed to do his bidding. Never would she let him corrupt her. Ever.
