Bellatrix/Voldemort – Dying In Wait
It isn't just a nightmare. It's nightmare after nightmare after nightmare and then she wakes up, and she's living a nightmare. She wants to think that her live isn't worth living, but she still censors her own thoughts, still not used to the isolation of these four walls and the fact that he can't penetrate her mind as he pleases any more.
That, and the fact that she is not weak. Bellatrix Lestrange does not wish for death, she makes others beg for it. He will come for her, she will be great again, he will be great again, they will be great again. Maybe this time, she'll be more than the Dark Lord's most faithful servant.
Just maybe, though.
The walls can close in on her, the black can drown her, the hallucinations can frighten her, the nightmare can drive her towards insanity but she will not wish for death, and she will wait because he will come.
