::: Chapter 19 :::

Voldy's POV

Oh…woah…my head……arggh…I wish this room would just stop spinning…..wait….

Did it work?

Someone was holding on to his right hand and he felt too weak to pull away from the person's grip. He tried to open his eyes to see who it was but there was a throbbing pain in his head. With his other free hand, he moved it up to his aching head. The throbbing pain had worsened he felt as though his head could explode. The person gripping his hand must be Bella as from the minute she felt him move she quickly held him tight, crying her heart out.

"Oh….oh you're alright…..Oh…I was so scared…I thought I'd lost you both….oh…I'm so glad you're awake." Bella said in between sobs as she pulled him onto her lap, holding him close to her chest.

He was going to tell her to lower her voice and stop smothering him but he just could not say anything. He opened his mouth to speak but the words died on his lips and he could only afford a moan.

Bella kept on crying and saying over and over again, "But…..we've lost him….we've lost him…I came too late…and we've lost him…what are we going to do? We've lost him….we've lost him…."

Voldemort caught a glimpse of Bella's teary face as she held him in her arms. He tried to keep his eyes open but it hurt too much. His vision was blurry and he could only see silhouettes, outlines of things and his ears were buzzing. Suddenly, he saw the outline of a figure, standing in the doorway.

"What happened here?" Rodolphus asked. He was half-panting as he had rushed up the stairs when he had seen the condition of the house when he had arrived and knew in an instant that something was wrong.

"Oh Rod, thank goodness you're here. I….I don't know what happened…' Bella said in between sobs. She had not let go of the hands she had been holding and she was looking very distressed and confused. 'I…I don't know what happened….I don't…"

She kept repeating over and over again. Rod went over to her as held her in his arms.

"Oh Bella….its alright…it's alright. The most important thing is you're alright and he's alright….It's alright."

Voldemort could tell who the figure was now. He could recognize his voice and the way he was holding Bella.

Fuck…fuck…fuck! How dare he behaves in such a blasphemous manner in front of me….oh this throbbing pain….if not for this pain….I would have killed him!

"Now come on Bella. I'll help you get this mess cleaned up. The more important thing is we've got to ensure that he is alright. I'll carry him to his bed and we'll get someone from St. Mungo's to come and check on him to make sure his ok….and you too. Lord knows you need someone to make sure you're alright. Come on." Rodolphus said as he helped her shaky form up.

Voldemort felt repulsed by the fact that he needed help from such a low-life but there was nothing he could do. He could not even lift a finger to fight back. He felt so weak and he had no choice but to allow Rodolphus to carry him.

Patience….patience….this is all going to work out just fine….very soon…I've done it….I've done it!

"Come on….come on Faustus….Don't worry son, you'll be alright. Everything will be alright." Rodolphus said to him.

Faustus? Did he just call me Faustus?

Very short chapter this time. Sorry for the wait. I had a momentary writer's block. I actually have already wrote this chapter but when I read it through I decided it wasn't exactly right so I wrote a new one with a different angle and that's why it took a while. But tell me what you think of it plz. Thanks.
