The Chaos Within (A Bellatrix Fanfiction)

Letter

2 Weeks Later

'What happened to your face?' Draco asked, as I entered his room, throwing myself down onto his couch, next to him.

I tenderly touched the gash on my face, which was still bleeding. 

'I couldn't dodge a jinx your mother threw at me.' I grimaced. 'I think it was Sectumsempra.' 

He sighed, pulling his wand out, moving it slowly over my face. 'Vulnera Sanentur'. 

I felt the deep cut healing. 'Thanks mate.' 

'I've just asked Vaella for some food, if you want any.' He offered. 

'Oh good, I'm starving.' I nodded. 

The past 2 weeks had been so busy. I'd been mostly training with Narcissa or Lucius at times when Narcissa was busy. I hadn't seen Bellatrix since the confusing moment in my room when she'd kissed me. I was kind of grateful for not seeing her. The woman straight up scared me at times as well as confusing the hell out of me. I was told she was currently busy running errands for the Dark Lord, which was why Lucius was training me at times. 

I was finally starting to settle down at the Malfoy's, although I did feel pangs of homesickness sometimes. Me and Draco became close as friends; he was almost like a brother to me now. I missed my other friends, I found myself wondering how they were doing. I felt kind of guilty about Becka. She was my girlfriend, and I'd let Bellatrix kiss me a couple of weeks ago. But then, I'd been kidnapped by Death Eaters, so for all I knew, Becka had assumed our relationship was over. She'd probably already found someone else. 

'Hey Erin, I was talking to my mum.' Draco started, snapping me out of my thoughts. 'I asked her about whether you'd be with us for Christmas, and she did remind me that the Dark Lord has ordered you to stay here until further notice, so she was wondering about inviting your mother here for Christmas.' 

'Really?' I sat upright. 

'Yeah, but don't let on that you know. It's not definite yet. But she is going to allow you to write a letter soon, as long as you don't say too much, in case it's intercepted by the Ministry.' He nodded. 

I grinned. 'Oh brilliant.' 

Suddenly Vaella appeared with a sharp crack. 'Master Draco, your mother requests you to eat downstairs with her. She'd like to talk with you in private too.' 

'Okay, thanks Vaella.' Draco nodded and she bowed before disapparating again. 

We both got up, leaving Draco's room. 'Wonder what she wants to talk to you about.' I said. 

'Knowing my mother, it could be anything.' He shrugged. 'I'll see you later.' He headed downstairs, while I headed in the opposite direction to my bedroom, where I stripped off my training gear, had a quick freshen up and changed into some denim shorts and a coral red tank top. I threw myself on my bed, grabbing my latest book off my bedside table to read. 

I must have been more tired from the latest training session than I thought though, because after reading only a few lines, my eyes started drooping and I kept blinking to stay awake. 

I gave up though after a few minutes of reading, because the exhaustion was overwhelming, so I put my book down and got comfortable before falling asleep.

'Hey, little Death Eater...' 

I opened my eyes. Bellatrix was sat on the bed next to me. I sat bolt upright. 'W - what are you doing here?' 

She smirked. It made me nervous. 'I've missed you.'
