A/N: Well like I said before, I'm deleting typos and possibly editing a little bit but I hope you enjoy

Disclaimer: It's all JK that came up with that brilliantly warped character that is Bellatrix and Helena Bonham Carter that brought the zest and muse.

From Black to Worse

"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." The wizard conducting the ceremony swished his wand over their heads.

Tom Riddle was nowhere to be seen. All those who didn't know the bride would be saying that she was crying out of happiness as she placed a chaste kiss on Rodolphus' lips, those who did knew she was crying out of anger.

"When are we going to hear the pitter patter of tiny feet hmm Bella baby?" Druella, her mother smiled as she stroked her eldest daughter's hair. "Well I can't expect anything from your middle sister" She hissed.

Andromeda had married a muggle born and was consequently disinherited and banished. "Dear little Cissy is well on her way to marrying that nice Lucius Malfoy."

"Maybe mother maybe." Bella gritted her teeth.

"Tom please…"

"Tom no longer exists!" The man she barely recognised hissed.

"I am, and have always been your servant. I have devoted my life to you … Voldemort." The name sounded like poison on her tongue. They had both changed, hers through honour, his through heart ache.

"That's better Bellatrix…" She recoiled at the use of her full name. "If you can regain my trust… then we shall see shan't we…" Tom stroked her hair and her face, she closed her eyes and wished herself back to her fourth year, dreaming of the life they'd enjoyed, imagining the life they could've had, together.

"Would you prove yourself to me, that you're my ultimate servant?" He smiled darkly, pulling her back to the ugly present.

"Anything for you my Lord." She bowed to him.

"Reveal your left forearm to me Bellatrix." His eyes bored deeply into hers.

She yanked back her robes, eager to quell the anger that stoked in his black orbs.

"Mortis Signum" He hissed. She screamed in pain as he burnt her skin. The flash of green light faded and on her arm was a snake tattoo, a snake that writhed beneath her skin.

"Whenever you touch it, I shall be right there for you." He stroked her face, almost placating the woman.

"Yes master." She choked, the tears silently falling.

"Send in…. your husband." He scoffed. She bowed.

Bella's laugh was deadly as she pointed her wand to two aurors.

"Prepare to die." Rodolphus grinned, smiling at her like a child. She tutted, he constantly kissed up to her, but she flicked her wand first, it emitted green sparks, telling not only her husband, but her brother in law and old friend Barty to go.

Barty was hesitant, she smiled, he was a bit of a softie at heart still and aimed her own wand at the man who lay on the ground panting.

"Bellatrix Lestrange you are sentenced to life imprisonment for the torture of Frank and Alice Longbottom." The judge ruled. She cackled, that hardly mattered, the love of her life was gone. Tom Riddle, her lord and master had gone. Gone forever.

Her dark mark burned. She ran her tongue along it as the cell walls exploded. Azkaban had been cruel to her, she was gaunt, and even more deranged, the loss of the love of her life repeatedly tortured by the dementors had banished any sanity.

She stumbled to the edge, and laughed as the dementors no longer tortured her, she cackled again.

"My Lord" She grinned and knelt to the floor.

"My, my Bella darling, time has not been good to you." Voldemort bid her sit at his feet before running his hands through her wild tangles of hair.

"I'm sorry if my appearance displeases you my lord." She murmured.

"Nonsense, unlike your sister Narcissa, you have been a faithful servant." He stroked a wand through her hair, she felt the grime wash away and she relaxed. "Just like old times Bella." He pressed his lips to her neck, before running his hand down her dark mark.
