Eyes Closed Tightly

Chapter 11

Red eyes watched as the car he had thought was following him turn up a side street. He frowned eyes tracing the car till it was out of site. Putting it in his memory so that if he saw it again he would know. Tom turned his eyes back to the street ahead of him. All sines of salvation had ended miles ago. He was now out in the middle of nowhere. It was the perfect place to hide a missing child.

The only thing stopping him from celebrating?

It was also the perfect place to dump a lifeless body. He narrowed his eyes and his foot pressed down on the gas petal going well over the speed limit. He didn't care no one was going to stop him from getting to Harry.

~O~

"Come out, come out, wherever you are!" the voice sing-songed, Bella ran around the warehouse her eyes looking for Harry. She ran over to a pile of boxes and kicked at them. They tumbled to the ground empty. Letting out a growl Bellatrix spun around eyes sharp. "Harry. Harry, why don't you play with me!" she babbled trying to hear any sort of noise.

"Widdle Harry is hiding for big mean Bella!" she chuckled and ran from the room to search in others. "I'll find you!"

Harry let out a sigh; he claimed out from behind a rotten board, thanking the god's that he was so small. He could make out Bellatrix running around, screaming out her taunts. She was completely mad to think he would rise to them. He had some survival instincts, how else would he have lived this long?

Walking carefully over to the door Harry looked up and down the hall, not seeing the crazed woman he left the room and jogged down the hall. He would have made his way to the exist but he had heard Bella's insane laugher as she throws and destroyed things coming from that way, which left him to go the other way.

The path lead him to a staircase hearing Bellatrix working her way back to him, he began to climb his hand sliding up the dusty old banister. Realizing his mistake he snatched his hand from the railing and made his way up the stairs as quickly as he could. He had just ducked down when Bellatrix looked up the stairs. She let out a humming noise.

"Oh such a kind child leaving behind a trail." Her voice echoed sending shivers down Harry's back. Looking up and down Harry moved away from the stairs staying low till he was well away from the stairs knowing that it wouldn't be long as he heard Bellatrix's heals clicking against the steps in quick short steps. He just made it around the corner looking to see a dead end. His eyes widened looking for a way to hide. He ran for the first door it was locked. Not being detoured he ran for the others trying each one.

"Which way? Little itty baby which way would you go!" the shriek grated on Harry's nerves his hand on a door handle twisting. He gasped as the door opened dust spun around the room slow to settle. Harry jumped into the room closing the door and muffling Bella's shrieks. He looked around the space seeing a huge window directly in front of him. Biting his lip Harry looked around spotting a chair he rushes over to it and drags it over to the door trying to be as quit as possible and jams it under the handle.

"I hear you!" the clicking from her heals could be heard outside the door. Harry backed away green eyes wide as the door handle began to jiggle. Harry ducked down behind a pile of broken wooden boxes his eyes peering between missing pieces. The door was being jammed open emitting a high pitch screeching as the chair slid against the floor. Bellatrix gazed thought the small crack she had managed to create. Her smile wide and insanity swimming in her eyes.

"I found you, now be a dear and let me in." Harry stared his eyes wide. He didn't move knowing that letting her in was not a good idea. "Oh come now, Bella wont hurt you!" she screeched her hand sliding between the door and the doorframe. Her nails digging into the rotten wood and scraping down. Harry jumped his hands reaching up and covering his ears. "Open, open, open the door!" her voice raised a giggle escaping at the end. "Harry, please open the door." She pleaded her hand resting on the wood. "Don't you want to see Tom?" green eyes looked to the door. "He'll be up set that you didn't listen to me."

"He'll be up set if you kill me!"

"Your not that important to him! Your nothing but a spoilt child, he'll see soon enough!" Bella growled looking into the room trying to spot where Harry was hiding.

"Your wrong!" she cackled in mirth, making Harry's stomach do flip flops his hands gripped his jeans trying to keep his shaking to a minimum.

"Oh I'm not wrong, your nothing to him, he's just obsesses with you! He'll soon see, he'll know, and when he dose he'll toss you. I'm just showing him sooner. He's too weak with you around, careless in his search for you. My master will not be weakened by the likes of you!" her hand scrapped down the door as she pressed her self onto the door, the chair squalled against the floor. "I'll take away the distraction, and he'll be free from your poisonous hold!" Bella slammed against the door her body jerking it forward the chair giving in inch by inch. Harry's body grew taunt knowing he had to be ready for when she got in; it was only a matter of time. "free, free he'll be free!" she sing songed the door inching open to the point where she could fit her shoulder and head thought the opening.

Harry got into a position ready to bolt. He knew he would only have a split second where Bella would have to search for him, and that was the only time limit he had to run from the room. Bella's mad laugher abruptly stopped Harry gazed dazed at the door as it was slammed shut and he could make out the sound of her heals hitting the floor making her way away from the door.

The chair had toppled to the floor at the abrupt action leaving Harry's only source of safety nonexistent. He looked out wondering why Bellatrix had run off if she could enter. Standing he padded over to the door, his hand trembling as he opened it and peered out green eyes wide trying to see if the insane woman was anywhere in sight. It just didn't make any sense. One minute she was hell bent on getting to him the next she was running off to do god knew what?

~O~

Moody came to a stop next to the other cars. He opened the door and leapt out his hand drawing his gun and he crept up to the building. This was it. He had to be extra careful it meant his life and possibly the life of a confused mislead ten year old. He walked in making no noise his gun pointed to the ground. Hearing voices the walked his way towards them. He hoped that back up would come quickly.

The voices rose in volume allowing him to hear what they were talking about, it left no doubt in his mind that he had found Bellatrix and the one they called Voldemort. Moody frowned now he had to take them out.

~o~

Bella ran down the stairs and into the front just as Tom walked in. Red eyes looked around the room before staling on Bellatrix. His red orbs narrowed to near slits.

"Where is he?" he sheathed stepping forward. Bella fell to the floor bowing.

"Master."

"Where is he?" he was growling the distance between the two quickly closing up. Bellatrix looked up her wild hair swaying around her pail face.

"Please Voldemort hear me out." A hand struck out grabbing the bouncy curls and clutched pulling Bella's head up.

"Where is Harry!" his voice boomed across the open room echoing down the halls. Fingers twitched snagging and pulling hair out. He shook Bellatrix tugging at the curly locks without a care. "What have you done!" anger swirled into his eyes and he jerked Bella up right grabbing her face and snarling at her. "Is he dead? Did you kill him!" The tension in the room rose to unbearable levels.

"No." Tom let out a breath he was holding and he let Bellatrix go she fell to the floor her dark eyes staring wide at him. "But he should be." A sharp slap had her falling the rest of the way down to the floor she looked up at rage filled eyes. "Look what he's done to you!"

"Silence!" He hissed glaring hard at her. "You know nothing." She sprung up eyes wild.

"I know! I know you have changed and he is the cause of this change! Just think, you know I'm right! He's made you care." She bellowed not caring that her words wound Tom up all the more, his hands clenching and unclenching. "You never care and yet he has you running about. He has to go! He has to die!" madness filled her spinning her words out in a desperate plea.

Tom saw red the threat to Harry too high Bella was a threat she had to go. Tom looked at her eyes blazing he step towards her his hand reaching out and grabbing her before she could flee. Bellatrix made no move to protect her self, she was slammed into a wall and her air supply was taken from her. A hand wound tightly around her neck. She looked into furious eyes her air lacking she forced her self to stay docile if this was what Voldemort wanted, if he wanted her dead she would gladly do it for him.

Tom's anger burned away a blanket of clam falling over him as he realized Bellatrix wasn't fighting him. He could feel her fading her body going limp. Looking into her dropping eyes he saw her undying devotion, her wiliness to die for him by his hands. His hand twitched and before he knew what he was doing he tossed Bellatrix to the floor and turned away from her.

Bella gasped and coughed on the floor her hand tenderly touching her neck; she looked up in awe at Tom.

"M-Master?" she croaked trying to craw to him her hand reaching.

"Good bye Bella." He stepped away make his way to another hallway to look for Harry.

"Vol-"

"Freeze!" Both heads snapped looking to Moody who was standing at the other entrance his hands holding the gun, pointing it at Tom. Strange eyes staring intently at Tom. Turning Tom glared at the new comer. "Don't I wont hesitate to shoot a scum bag like you." He clenched his hands. Bella growled shifting on her spot lying on the floor.

"How dare you speak to him like that!" shrieking Bellatrix snapped to a sitting up position the gun swerved pointing to her but Moody's eyes stayed trained on Tom.

"Don't move."

"Filthy degusting mortal, you don't deserve to breath the same air as him!" She lunged hands extended to claw at Moody's face. His head snapped to her ignoring Tom, his finger pressed down and a shot rang. Bella stumbled back clutching her shoulder as blood flooded from the wound. She let out a cackling scream madness cracking her voice and she collapsed to the floor her eyes glaring at Moody. Then she smirked her teeth stained red showing him her mirth giggling lightly, her head fell forward eyes blinking and her breathing erratic.

"Forgot something?" A hand grabbed his and twisted it, Moody cried out dropping his gun. It crashed to the floor and was kicked away. Tom jerked him around then though him into a wall. "Oh yes, I do believe you did." Tom kicked him over and stood over him, He smirked down at the dazed man and pulled a knife out from his coat. The blade shined in the light, Tom bent and grabbed Moody's hair he smashed the regaining man head into the stone ground before dragging him across the floor.

Moody tried to fight but his head was spinning, his limbs were heavy and his vision was darkening. Where was back up? Tom squatted down and grabbed his neck leaning over him he raised the knife and slashed it across Moody's face, carving into the thin skin drawing blood. The sight of red drove Tom mad and soon he was laughing in glee slicing at the flesh drawing strength from the man's screams. Blood splashed everywhere.

The color painting everything red.

"T-tom?" the knife halted suspended above Moody's shredded body. Turning his head Tom looked to where the quite whisper had come from red eyes wide as he saw Harry not Five feet from him blood splashed across his face, and worst of all his green eyes were wide open, staring looking and seeing Tom for who he really was.

"Harry." And then he was gone, fleeing from the room. Harry had ran from him.

His Harry had ran. Tom stood and raced from the room.

"Harry wait!"
