Defiance: Regulus Black x OC

16

Regulus Black

I glanced over watching her walk towards the drink table. A small smile spread across my lips realizing everything is going to be okay. We are going to figure it all out. 

"Regulus." I heard my cousin softly whisper next to me. "Is that a smile I see." I broke my gaze from Bella to meet the soft eyes of my cousin, Narcissa. 

"Good evening, cousin." I said with a smile still on my face. "You must have caught me at a good time I suppose." I continued before noticing she was still drinking water from dinner. "Water huh? Never took you as the type." 

"Not like I have an option." She laughed. 

"What's that supposed to mean?" 

"Gosh, Reg. Are you this dumb." She paused laughing. "I am with child"

Another smile appeared on my face copying the one plastered on hers. An uncle huh. 

"Can I have this dance?" She smiled before dropping her drink midair and it leaving sight. 

"Of course." I smiled back finishing mine, holding out my arm. 

We took a few short steps to the center of the room before the song began. We laughed and talked as it went on, before coming to an end. I glanced over at the drink table again, before my smile dropped and I went still. "Reg?" My cousin questioned. I stepped away from her darting to the table and looking around the room along my way. It was two minutes. Two minutes. How can she be gone. 

Maybe someone asked her to dance. 

Maybe she went to the restroom. 

Maybe she stepped outside for fresh air. 

I raced across the ballroom glancing at every person searching for her. I ran outside to see she was no where to be found, I ran back in across every room I could find with access, and no where. I felt my heartbeat quicken jumping to the worst. 

What if someone took her. 

What if someone killed her. 

What if.

I paused seeing Lord Voldemort at the end of the hall looking at me. 

"Ah, Regulus." He smiled motioning for me to come closer. "Please come join the party." He wasn't asking. He reached out motioning me back into the ball room. "Looking for someone?" He questioned pointing to her across the room. 

There she stood, smiling and talking to Evan Rosier. One of her closest friends. I must've missed her somehow. Must've walked right past her. I smiled at the Dark Lord forcing myself back into the room to her. She paused from conversation and looked up at me. 

"Regulus!" She smiled beaming at everyone. "I missed you, where have you been?" Maybe she's drunk, because she sure doesn't sound like herself. She reached out her hand wrapping around my arm. 

Odd. 

I smiled down at her, "I could ask you the same thing, I've been searching for you." I scoffed. 

"Oh, Well I was right here the whole time. Sorry, Honey."

Honey?

Since when the fuck does she say that. She kept a smile plastered on her face looking up at me. I slowly leaned down placing a small kiss on her lips. 

This isn't Bella. Bella doesn't kiss me. 

I slowly pulled my arm away from her before leaning closer to her ear. "Watch yourself Dear, someone might figure out who you truly are." I whispered softly making the small smile on her face drop before she met my eyes. The glamour around her slowly melted away, only noticeable by me, as Evan didn't move an inch. I saw her eyes go from a soft hazel pool to a dark shade of blue, and her hair slowly melted away leaving stick straight blonde hair touching her shoulders. 

"Dear, may we go talk elsewhere." I said looking towards Evan. 

"Yes, of course Love." She smiled at me as we slowly walked away from the ball room. I grabbed her arm pulling her along at my side to keep up the facade before making my way out of the room. I kept her close until I found an unoccupied space pushing her in and shutting the door. 

"Who are you." I scoffed towards her. 

"Florence Greengrass." She smiled towards me. "You see the Dark Lord, asked me to play a part for the evening, and so I was. All I know, swear."

"Yeah, We will see about that." I moved towards her before pushing her onto the couch in the room and drilling into her mind. I pushed through until I saw the memories come flooding in. I whispered Muffliato slowly at the door to make sure no one could hear her. 

"Florence." He smiled at her in a long hallway, barley lit, however still in the manor. "I must ask a favor of you." 

"Yes my Lord." She smiled at him. 

"I need you to play a part, you see, someone betrayed me, and now I must ask that you play them until I figure out my next step." 

"Yes, my Lord, whoever shall I be?" she questioned softly as he tapped his wand long her head making her become Bella. 

"Bella Black." He smiled. "Now go join the party." 

"Where was that." I snapped at her while she tried to regain her breath. "Did you hear me! Where was that!" I screamed at her this time making her move away from me. 

"The west end of the Manor." She scoffed. 

"Stupefy" I whispered sending her to sleep for a while. Hopefully allowing time for me to search. I burst out the door marching across the Manor. I ran to the west wing, searching every hallway, every room, every door I could find. Nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing. I ran back to the room I left her in just to find she is no longer there. I ran through the manor, searching once again, panic becoming me, my breath getting faster, my heart following along, before nothing. I found nothing. I ran back to the ball room, unsure of how to even approach this, how to even ask him. I busted in the doors and marched straight across the room to him. 

"Where is she." I scoffed towards him keeping a hand on my wand. "Where is she!" I shouted this time causing the room to fall silent and everyone to point towards us. 

"I apologize everyone." He smiled as he looked around the room. "I did not want to speak about this here, however Bella Black is no longer with us. She has betrayed us." 

"Liar." I screamed towards him. "She was nothing but loyal." I screamed again feeling my eyes get heavy. 

"She was found attempting to apperate out of here. She lied to me. I did what was required of the situation. She will no longer be a threat to us all." He continued. I felt my walls breaking down, tears flooding my face. 

"Bring her back." I screamed at him pulling my wand out. "Bring her back now!" I screamed again. 

"Take him." He smiled at me as a few wizards approached me. I threw a few spells before they all began tumbling down. I glanced back at him. 

"Is that all you got!" I screamed while laughing. "Bring her back now!" 

I felt my body tense and everything go dark. 

Am I dead?
