BPOV

I flinched as all of those horrible memories from only a few weeks ago came flooding back into my mind as I saw Bellatrix standing there.

"Well hello Bella," Bellatrix cackled in her unpleasant voice. "It's so nice to see you again."

"I wish I could say the same Bellatrix," I said, trying to fight the urge to jump free of the death eater's grasp and go attack her and make her pay for what she did to me. I had gotten over the pain and fear a long time ago, and I had replaced it with anger. I hated Bellatrix for what she had done to me and I wanted nothing more than to make her pay.

"Unfortunately the Dark Lord has forbidden me to have fun with you like I did the last time"

My expression didn't change, but on the inside I was jumping for joy. The thing that I had been most afraid of was their torture methods, if I was just going to face Voldemort at least dying would be painless.

"Where is he?" I asked, looking around for Voldemort but not seeing him anywhere.

"He'll be here in two days. Lucius, if you will please escort Miss Snape to her dungeon."

I looked around and my eyes widened when I saw Draco's father. He grabbed me by the arm and dragged me down to the dungeons. He roughly threw me into the cell and locked the door.

I sighed and sat down on the floor. It seemed like just yesterday that I was in this same situation, and I really didn't want to go back to those memories. It seemed like a dream that just a few hours earlier I had been dancing and singing at Hogwarts, having fun with all of my friends.

I tried to think of a way to escape this, but came up blank. I eventually gave up on an escape plan when I failed to come up with a plan and fell asleep right there on the floor.

DPOV

Last night had been spectacular. I had had so much fun spending the night with the woman that I love. She looked ravishing in her beautiful blue dress and her voice was just spectacular.

I woke up early the next morning and made my way to the Great Hall, anxious to see her. I met Harry on my way and he grabbed my arm and pulled me into a corner.

"I have bad news," he announced.

My heart immediately started pounding and I jumped to conclusions quickly. Where was my Bella? Why wasn't she here? I realized that Bella wasn't with him and I tried my best to fight off my fear that something bad had happened to her.

Harry handed me a letter and I instantly recognized the handwriting as Bella's. I opened it up and quickly skimmed through it and my eyes widened with dread. A death eater had taken her, no doubt back to that horrible place where they had hurt her.

"What are we going to do?" I choked out once I finished reading the letter and I had calmed down a little bit.

"I already told Dumbledore and he's going to break the news to Snape."

"But what are we going to do to save her?" I demanded. "She barely survived last time, they could kill her this time!"

"I know," Harry said. "But we have to trust that Bella will get herself out of this like she did last time. You'd be surprised what she can do when she focuses on something. And I don't agree with just sitting here doing nothing either, but it's Dumbledore's orders."

I glanced back down at the letter, defeated.

"So we just wait for them to hurt her?" I asked, my anger rising. "Nobody's going to try to do anything to save her? What about Snape? I'm sure he doesn't want to stay in this castle while his daughter is in danger!"

"I don't know, but right now we just have to wait here," Harry said, and I could tell that he was trying to hide his own anger at Dumbledore.

"Fine, I'll see you later," I mumbled, stalking off.

I hated that these people were hurting my Bella and I was furious at the people who weren't doing anything to help her. I decided that I would wait three days before I would act on my own and try to save Bella. I just hoped that she would be okay.

I woke up and saw that Lucius Malfoy was still on guard outside of my cell. He was sitting in a wooden chair, watching my every move.

"How long have I been asleep?" I asked.

"About fifteen hours."

Wow, I had never slept that long before. I guess that all of the mental stress caused me to sleep longer.

"So you're Draco's dad?" I asked him politely. I was just really bored and wanted someone to talk to.

"Yes, why?" He asked.

"I'm his girlfriend," I stated, anticipating his reaction. I was sure that he was going to start yelling at me, saying to stay away from his son, but he ended up surprising me.

"Really?" He asked, sounding interested. "I didn't know that Draco had a girlfriend."

"Yeah," I said. "I know you must be disappointed because he's dating your enemy."

"You're not my enemy," Lucius said, surprising me once again.

"But you're a death eater!" I said. "Don't all death eaters hate me and can't wait for Voldemort to kill me?"

"Just because I'm a death eater doesn't mean that I want to be one."

I gazed up at him Would this man ever stop amazing me tonight? Draco had made it sound that he loved being a death eater and that he didn't care about anything else.

"And you're a nice girl," Lucius continued. "Draco is lucky to have you."

I smiled. "I'm going to miss him." I wondered how Draco would take it and if he would eventually move on.

"What are you talking about?" Lucius asked, turning his head in my direction.

I stared at him, confused. "Well they're going to kill me, and I'm never going to see him again," I said sadly.

Lucius thought for a while and then glanced around. "What if I helped you escape?" He whispered.

"But they'll hurt you for helping me, I can't let that happen!" I cried out, forgetting that I needed to be quiet.

"Yes you can," he said forcefully. "I'll be fine, but you need to get out."

"What do you suggest we do?" I asked him. I didn't see any way how I could escape without walking up the stairs and right into a room filled with death eaters.

Lucius looked around the room once again and then smiled. "It's really quite simple. You're thinking too hard, but all I have to do is open your cell and you can climb out this window right here and apparate back to Hogwarts."

I looked at the window, embarrassed that I hadn't been able to think of that. "That is simple," I said.

He unlocked my cell quietly and I cautiously stepped out.

"Thank you Mr. Malfoy, I really appreciate this," I told him sincerely.

"You're welcome Bella. Good luck."

I smiled at him and then I climbed out of the window, and apparated back to Hogwarts.

It looked about eight in the morning when I arrived at the school. I hurried up the grounds and went straight to Dumbledore's office.

"Bella!" He exclaimed when he saw me, jumping up from behind his desk and rushing over to me. "Are you alright? What happened?"

"I'm fine," I assured him. "I got away and they didn't torture me this time."

I sat down and told Dumbledore about the death eater in my dormitory and how he had threatened me if I didn't come with him and then I told him how Lucius Malfoy had helped me escape.

"Bella, can you please get your dad so we can tell him what happened?" Dumbledore asked me once I finished telling my story.

I nodded and silently walked down to the dungeons.

When I opened the door everyone turned to stare at me. I blushed and quickly made my way up to the front of the classroom where Snape was standing. I smiled brightly at Draco who looked extremely relieved that I was here.

"Are you alright?" Snape demanded once I reached him.

"Dumbledore wants to explain it all to you in his office right now, and I am absolutely fine."

Snape sighed, glancing around at the students. "Could you watch the class while I talk to him?"

"Of course," I said smiling.

Snape cleared his throat and everyone turned to look at him. "I have something to take care of so Isabella is in charge until I get back."

Everyone nodded and Snape darted out of the classroom.

"Hello everyone," I said nervously as everyone turned to stare at me.

A few mumbled hello to me, but mostly they just continued to stare at me curiously.

"Okay, just do your work that Professor Snape assigned," I said.

With a sigh the class pulled out their books and started reading.

"Are you alright?" Harry mouthed to me.

I nodded my head at him.

Draco looked at me with his eyes still full of concern. I went over to Snape's desk, grabbed a piece of paper and a quill, and wrote a quick note to Draco.

Draco,

I am fine, nothing happened. I'll tell you
all about it later tonight. Don't worry.

Love,

Bella

I walked over to his table and placed it on his desk and then made my way back over to the front of the classroom.

Draco read the note and then nodded at me.

Edward raised his hand from the back of the classroom and I narrowed my eyes at him, wondering what he could possible want from me.

"What Cullen?" I asked acidly. I was not in the mood to deal with him today. I was tired and I just wanted to go up to my dormitory and sleep.

"I was just wondering where you were." He said.

"That is none of your business," I said. I didn't think that anyone had noticed that I had even been gone. I wasn't gone long enough for them to notice.

"Yes it is, I'm your boyfriend," Edward said arrogantly.

My hands clenched into fists, and if his face wasn't as hard as a rock I would have punched him right in the face. "No you are not!" I yelled at him.

"Yes, I am. Don't lie to yourself, you can't live without me." On second thought, a broken hand didn't seem so bad, as long as I saw able to wipe that smile away.

I started to shake in anger while the class watched our fight with great interest, except for Draco and Harry who had the same expression as I did.

"I can and will live happily without you in my life!" I said to Edward. Was this boy delusional, and weren't vampires supposed to be smart? How could he not notice that I hated him?

"Do I need to kiss you to convince you who you really want?" Edward asked me, smirking.

I started seeing red. How dare he say that. "No, and if you do I swear I'll kill you."

Just then Snape came in and looked around at the scene. He saw me glaring murderously at Edward and his eyes narrowed.

"What's going on here?" Snape asked.

"I think Edward needs detention," I said, trying to control my anger.

"For what?" Snape asked me.

I thought for a moment and then said, "Harassment."

Some of the students laughed.

"Very well. Cullen, my office at eight tonight," Snape said, while glaring at Edward.

Snape walked up to me and whispered in my ear. "Dumbledore told me to tell you that you have the rest of the day off and that he is really proud of you."

I grinned. "Thanks."

"I'm really glad you're okay," he said once again.

"I am too, but this isn't over," I said sadly. "They won't stop until they get me."

"Well, we'll deal with that later. Have a great day."

I nodded and walked out the door. I went straight up to my dormitory to shower and change. Once I finished with that, I climbed into my bed and enjoyed a peaceful sleep.

Hours Later

I woke up at seven thirty and headed down to the Great Hall for dinner.

"Hello everyone," I said when I sat down at the table next to Harry.

"What happened?" Harry demanded.

I sighed. "A death eater came and took me. They locked me in a dungeon guarded by Lucius Malfoy, but he let me go and that's how I escaped."

They all gaped at me and Ron choked on his juice. "Lucius Malfoy helped you escape?" Harry asked incredulously.

"Yeah," I said. "He's actually quite nice."

"You bring out weird reactions in the Malfoy's," Ron said, trying to hold back his laughter.

I laughed. "Thanks Ronald."

He grinned. "Anytime Bells."

I dug in, attacking any food that I could get my hands on. I hadn't eaten in days and I was now ravenous.

Harry looked at me with a slightly disgusted expression and said, "You look exactly like Ron when you eat like that."

I laughed and Ron joined in. I guess we did look pretty similar.

When I finished eating I saw Draco getting up from his table so I got up from my own table and ran over to him. He opened his arms up for me and I ran right into them.

"I missed you," I said.

"I missed you too and I'm really glad that you're alright."

"Are you ready to know what happened?" I asked.

He nodded reluctantly, putting his arm around my waist, and led me away.

"Okay, so what's the story?" He asked warily once we exited the Great Hall and got away from all of the eavesdropping students.

I took a deep breath and then told him every single detail about how his dad had saved me. He looked bewildered when I told him about his dad, but then he calmed down and a broad grin flashed across his face.

"He doesn't like being a death eater?" He asked.

"Nope," I said in confirmation. "I just hope he'll be okay."

"He should be fine," Draco said, but I could hear the concern for his father in his voice.

"Voldemort will be angry, so I should get a vision of what he does to him."

Draco nodded, lost in thought.

We walked around for a few more minutes and then we decided to head back to the Gryffindor Common Room.

"Goodnight," I said.

"Goodnight Bella, I'm really glad that you're okay," Draco murmured.

I smiled and walked into the Common Room. It was completely empty when I arrived, so I just went up to my dormitory and went to sleep.
