41. Alecto/Bellatrix
A/N: For the Slash/Femmslash BC (gift), the Femmslash Project, Femmslash Challenge, and the Ultimate Femmslash Competition.
She has the gift of saying exactly what you want to hear. You know Bellatrix doesn't mean word of it, but her velvet promises and little touches make you want to believe.
"There's a place for you," she murmurs into the crook of your neck. "I'll be there."
You know she doesn't care about you. Your loneliness is the spark she needs, and she uses it against you, luring you in to rally support for the Dark Lord. She takes and gives so little in return, only enough to suit her purposes.
But she's touching you, whispering into your ear. She'll leave you naked and lonely, broken and trying to sew yourself back together. But you can't bring yourself to care. You let her golden snare of syntax entangle you, trap you.
"Join us, Alecto."
"I will."
