In the midst of death and explosions, Belinda looked for her mother inside the hall.

"Traitor!"

One of the deatheaters took her to the ground but she bit his hand and turned her body, dislocating his shoulder. He attempted to curse her, but she slipped behind him and cracked his neck. That was the first time she ever killed, but she didn't have time to be shocked.

She could see her mother across the hall, dueling Molly Weasley. By the time she got there, she witnessed her own mother's death. Bellatrix disappeared and Belinda's wand clattered on the ground. The grief wasn't going to hit her yet. She picked it up and Molly stared at her, but Belinda understood.

"An eye for an eye."

Three more death eaters surrounded her, shooting spells that she effortlessly redirected, using her wand.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Her curse hit one of them, and he fell to the ground. She didn't like the feeling. She preferred killing with her bare hands. With another charging at her, she jumped on the man and put her hand on his face, burning him alive. It was like all the deatheaters turned against her when they saw Bellatrix was gone.

She felt arms lock around her as someone else shot a curse at her and she bit her lip. Remembering what Rodolphus taught her, she forced herself to roll on the ground, taking the death eater with her. She recovered much faster than he did, and slit his throat using her wand.

All at once, she had five to six different witches and wizard stunning her.

"Avada Kedavra!"

She rolled out of the way just in time, finally getting back on her feet. She was ready to burn them all to hell until they all dropped. The Weasley's put their wands down and George helped her out of the corner.

"You alright?"

"Yeah. Thanks."

She ran outside where she saw Harry and Voldemort going at it. Then she saw Nagini heading straight towards Ron and Hermione. Belinda grabbed the snake's tail, making her more angry and Nagini wrapped herself around her, but it was exactly what Belinda wanted. Neville came from behind and sliced Nagini, causing her to disappear. The blade also penetrated Belinda.

Through blurry vision, she could see Voldemort slow down even more. He saw her fall and the giant gash on her back.

"NOOOO!" He yelled as he aimed at Harry again.

"Belinda! Belinda I'm sorry! Are you okay?" Neville sat her up by the rocks and she definitely felt different. Like something inside her was gone.

She couldn't see, but she knew Harry had won. Her vision was going black and Ron carried her to bring her inside. Rodolphus stood in his way. They all just watched as he took his daughter from his arms and walked off castle grounds.

"Keep your eyes open, angel."

He apparated to Malfoy manor with his dying daughter in his arms. Belinda opened her eyes and Rodolphus was setting her on the bed, keeping her on her side to avoid any more pain. She could feel the elves already cleaning her wound.

"Belinda. Can you hear me? They're going to patch you up alright?"

"Mhm."

"Here." He placed a key in her hand and closed it. "It's yours. All of it."

She heard commotion coming from the front door of the manor.

"Don't leave." She begged weakly.

"I have to angel...... they're looking for me. I'll find you. I promise."

"No!" She began to sob. "Mom is gone I need you please don't leave me! Please!"

"Shsh it's okay we're here." Narcissa said comforting her. Belinda's screams broke Rodolphus but he had no choice but to leave and go into hiding.

"Why does everybody leave me?!"

Draco sat next to her bed and held her hand.

"Rest."

When she woke up her back hurt like hell. She wasn't even out that long. Maybe an hour at most.

"Hey Bee. Take it easy how do you feel."

She gestured for the trash can and covered her mouth. He gave it to her and rubbed her back as she threw up. She touched her shoulder, and could feel the long line of stitches down to her lower back. She began scrambling for a loose sweater and leggings.

"I have to go."

"What? Sit down! MOM! Shes awake."

Belinda packed her three daggers and the key her father left her in a bag.

"Belinda what on earth are you doing? Get back into bed!"

"Belinda listen to your uncle."

"I have to go back! I have people to check on."

"Your health is first damnit now lay back down!"

"Please auntie, I have to go back. I need to be sure Severus is alright."

"Oh Belinda! Enough is enough! You're not going anywhere with that man ever!"

"You don't know that!"

"What is happening? Wait slow down!" Lucius shouted.

"She insists on going back to find Severus."

"Severus? I haven't seen him since the lake-house."

"Because he tried to kill him! I saved him but he still wasn't a hundred percent when I left."

"Belinda I'm sure he's fine." Lucius tried to sit her down and she walked towards the door.

"He doesn't love you Belinda!" She looked back at her aunt and shook her head. "Surely you don't believe that....."

Lucius looked at his wife, putting the pieces together. His jaw clamped and he threw his staff to keep himself from hitting her with it.

"I do believe it. He does love me."

"It's not her fault." Her aunt whispered to Lucius.

"Belinda just sit back down please." Draco tried to lead her back to bed but she grabbed the doorknob.

"BELINDA!" Lucius' booming voice made her stop and almost cry. She looked at him and stood her ground. "If you leave this house.... You will not return. Do I make myself clear?"

Something in her wanted to let go of the doorknob right away, but she didn't.

"Wow. Just like that? I meant nothing to you?"

"I lost one sister today. I disowned the other long ago. You're parents are gone again. You're old enough. But just because we raised you does not mean we will not disown you too."

Belinda let a few tears fall. If she wasn't pregnant perhaps she would have stayed. She looked at Draco who was crying and looking at his feet.

"And you? You'll just let them do that to me? After all we've been through....... After all the hits I took for you? You can't take this one for me? I thought we were stuck with each other."

Narcissa pulled Draco away from her and the three of them stood against her.

"Fine. RETCH!"

"THE SERVANT STAYS!"

"This servant was left from the house Lestrange and therefore answers to me."

The elf came through the door and cowered at the four angry wizards in the room.

"Look, to piss you off more." She removed her scarf and dropped it on the elf. "Go. You're free."

Retch looked as if he was about to faint. Instead, he grabbed her hand. She waited to see if her family would say anything else. Her aunt and uncle just wanted her out and Draco wasn't looking at her.

"Retch is free and will stand by Belinda Lestrange."

"To Hogwarts."
