Chapter 68

A/N: This was a pretty hard chapter to write. I was very on edge writing this even though I know the plans. This is all in Reg's pov. Enjoy!

Regulus' pov

"Crucio!" A voice shouted, a bright red light blinded me. My body curled into a ball, feeling overheated. I've gotten used to the pain of the cruciatus curse. "M-My lord, he isn't responding to the pain." Lucius stammered out. "Did you make him loppy!" Voldemort shouted. "N-no my lord." Lucius coward. "Narcissa, take care of Regulus. I need his brain." Voldemort sneered before disapparating. Narcissa walked over, Bella skipped behind her.

Bella squatted down to look over me, she grabbed my chin and directed it upward. "Wakey wakey, Reggie!" She laughed. "Bella," Narcissa warned. Cassius, Lucius, Dolohov, and Bella sat in the chairs and waited. Narcissa helped me into a chair. She went to move my hair out of my face, I pulled away from her with disgust on my face. "My girls and my son. H-how are they?" I looked at Narcissa.

She handed me water and grabbed a wet rag. "Violet is okay. Gave the Carrows and Severus a piece of her mind in September. As for your son, he is okay." Narcissa cleaned the blood and avoided Grace. I gripped Narcissa's hand, she looked at me. "She's okay." She whispered. "So, Reggie! When were you going to tell us the little witch made it after I cursed her?" Bella sneered.

I looked at Lucius and Dolohov. "Oh please! Severus slipped the name Grace Black. Does it ring a bell, Reggie? She's quite pretty, I wonder if she could handle the curse again?" Bella smirked at me. I stood up and grabbed her throat. "I hope you haven't forgotten Bella, I almost killed you for mentioning Violet to him. I would gladly do the same for my kids. Keep your filthy hands away from my daughter." I spit pushing her back. "You mentioned September, what month is it?" I asked, turning to Narcissa. "November." Narcissa mumbled, looking down.

Greyback, Carrows and Severus walked in with Pansy. Severus stopped in his place and froze. "Bella, you said Severus told you?" I asked, glaring at Severus. She laughed and nodded. "Reg," Severus started. I walked up to him and threw him to the ground. "Regulus! Lucius, do something!" Narcissa shouted. Greyback picked me up before I could do anything. "I should have listened to James! Told us you would always betray us, it's what you do! No wonder Lily chose James over you." I spit as Greyback threw me in a chair.

"Reg, you need to relax." Narcissa held my face. I shoved her hands. "You let your pathetic husband take me from Violet. You're just as bad! YOU allowed this to happen!" I shouted motioning to my state. She froze, "Violet is okay." Severus spoke. "Your wife is a bitch." Alecto spoke. "Shot curses at us like we were allowed to hurt her." Amycus added. "Allowed?" I questioned. Greyback smirked and so did Dolohov. "Dark Lord wants to strike a deal with you, Reggie." Dolohov smiled.

"Come, let's get you dressed for the meeting tonight." Narcissa held my arm as she walked us to a guest room. As we walked into the room she silenced the room, once Lucius walked in. "The deal?" I asked, looking between them. "He wants you to be a death eater, in exchange for the safety of Grace, Roscoe, Draco, and Violet." Narcissa explained pulling clothes out. "You know very well I can't be a death eater." I spoke harshly.

"Regulus, he instructed every death eater he has to not hurt Violet, Roscoe, Grace, Draco and anyone with them until he strikes this deal with you. If you refuse, Greyback goes after Violet, Dolohov gets Roscoe, Bella gets Grace, and Carrows get Draco." Lucius explained. "So I don't have a choice, this is what I'm hearing." I sneered. Narcissa buttoned my shirt up, I felt hot tears prick my eyes. "Reg," Narcissa spoke softly. I pulled her hands away, "I need a minute alone." I choked out. They left quickly.

I placed my hands on the dresser and slowly looked up in the mirror. Tears spilled down my cheeks. I punched the mirror. "FUCK!" I shouted. Narcissa ran in and held my hands. "Reg," She whispered. "Cissy, she's going to hate me. I-if somehow we both survive, sh-she's going to hate me." I cried, burying my head in my hands. "You don't have a choice, Reg." She reassured me. "An-and Grace, she already had a hard time when Umbridge mentioned it. And Roscoe, he barely knows me and all he'll know is his father is a Death Eater." I explained.
