RECAP OF LAST CHAPTER:
She pointed her wand directly at Ariana, who screamed, kicking out and arching her back. The pain was excruciating. It burned through every nerve and cell in her body, she was dying, being burnt alive, being stabbed all over and ripped apart. She felt tears running down her face, the flow never stopping. She was being torn apart limb by limb...her eyes rolled back and she stopped resisting, letting it consume her completely.
And them the pain was gone. And left in its place was a orphaned helpless girl, her honey-curls flying loose, her feverish tear-stained red face buried in her hands, her thin frame trembling, scarlet blood imbruing her left arm and the tips of the hair.
"See," smirked Bella gazing down at the girl. "It isn't that hard Draco. Now do it!"
Ariana cringed, instinctively pulling her legs up to her chest, her red eyes staring wide and frightened at Draco, her eyebrows creased and stray naturally highlighted curls falling delicately on to her high cheekbones. She pulled her head down so that it was resting against her knees, bracing herself for the pain that was to come. She shut her eyes, waiting. But the spell was never cast.
At that moment, the oak doors slammed open and the woman who had answered the door came sweeping in majestically, her silver diamond embedded corset robe swirling behind her, blending smoothly with the golden-blonde sheet of hair that was swept up into a noble-looking twist. Her face wasn't as cold as before, however. Her silver-grey eyes were filled with a mixture of exasperation, determination, and masked concern.
"I heard the screams," she said abruptly, not even looking at Ariana but walking straight to Bella, stopping with her pale hands on her hips. "What did you do to her Bellatrix?"
"Oh, hello, Cissy," Bella smiled innocently. "We were just loosening her up a bit, getting her ready to talk."
The woman turned her cold gaze towards Ariana, taking in her pink tinged cheeks, red-rimmed gold and hazel eyes still overflowing with salty tears, and finally ending on the deep gash on her now-crimson shoulder.
"Looks like she's loosened up enough to me. Did Draco do anything?"
Bella laughed scornfully, her heavy eyelashes drooping with disdain as she flickered her eyes towards the teenage. "Draco? Are you serious Narcissa? He doesn't have the guts to do anything. He should though, coming from our side of the family."
"Don't you dare talk to my son like that," Narcissa snapped at her sister.
"What are you going to do about it," Bellatrix challenged. "He's a coward, there's no way you can deny it! He's a fail to the name of Death Eaters, not being able to Crucio a little brat like that."
SMACK!
It happened so fast that Bellatrix didn't even have time to register what happened before she was on the ground, her cheek smarting and face flushed. Narcissa stood livid, glaring down at her sister, her hand raised.
"That's what I'd do about it." She tried to hide her voice from shaking with no avail. She shot one last glance at Ariana before leaving the room, calling out, "Knock her out and then throw her in the cellar, Draco."
The last thing Ariana saw was a blinding red light soaring straight towards her face.
