I am The Dark Lady (ABANDONED)

Reconcilliation .

Hello!

"How are you feeling?" Voldemort muttered after a moment of silence. Bella laughed softly.

"I'm okay" She chuckled. "Better than I was" She smirked at him and leaned in for another kiss. As their lips connected however, three separate gasps hit their ears. Eyes wide, They removed their wands from their holsters and whipped around to one of the entrances to the room.

They were met with Lucius, Narcissa and Regulas staring back at them, mouths agape.

Bella huffed softly and placed her wand back at her waist, folded her arms and stared at her family members. Voldemort scowled and kept his wand outstretched and pointed at them.

"A-are you two...?" Narcissa began asking, waving her hands and gesturing madly between the two dark figures. The Dark Lord tilted his head up the tiniest bit and regarded the blonde silently. Bella rolled her eyes and sighed. "Bella?" Narcissa barked quickly through gritted teeth.

"I supp-" Voldemort began but was cut off.

"HAHAHAHAHAH" Regulas burst into laughter. "I cannot wait to see the look on Druella's face" He laughed.

Bella's cheeks flushed red, her eyebrows knitted together, and she darted over to him in less than two seconds. She pushed him up against the wall, leaning close to his own face. She leaned so close that their noses were almost touching.

"You even say a word" She hissed, pressing her wand against his neck. "I swear to any deity that I-" She needn't have finished the sentence, so she didn't, for Regulas had cut off his laughter. In fact, Regulas recoiled with wide eyes and practically vibrating with fear.

"Bella" Narcissa didn't turn her head to look at her. "Step away from the wizard"

Begrudgingly, Bella did as she was told and retook her place by Voldemort. Narcissa stared at her sister and then turned her eyes onto The Dark Lord for a brief second.

"I implore you" Voldemort spoke first. "To refrain from saying a word"

"About what?" Lucius blurted out. "I seen nothing."

Bella facepalmed, Narcissa shut her eyes, Voldemort stared at the blonde and Regulas groaned. Lucius averted his gaze. The Dark Lord rolled his eyes and turned to pace away from the family group. He nonchalantly walked over to the elaborate fire place and dragged a long finger across the top and then examined a golden trinket.

"The results could be disastrous, should anyone find out" He said, placing the trinket back down. "Both for Bellatrix and I as well you three"

"My Lord" Narcissa swallowed thickly. "We shall not do or say anything that could put you in danger."

Bellatrix half turned to look at her lover, who focused his attention on her younger sister. Bella's chest felt tight as the air was suddenly suffocating. Voldemort nodded once and kept the eye contact. Bellatrix clapped her hands. The room's air, thick and stuffed with tension, cleared as soon as she made the noise and she felt as thought it was possible to breathe again.

"Well. That's sorted." Bella said cheerfully. She fully turned to him now. "The Dark Lord and I will be on our merry way"

"We are?" Voldemort asked but his voice was muffled by the sudden eruption of black apparition smoke appearing from under their feet. Bella was dragging him in a Side-Along apparition. "Oh okay we are"

Bella, through the smoke, made eye contact with her sister. Narcissa had a smug, victorious grin on her face and she inclined her head. Bella reciprocated the smile and shot off towards the Riddle Manor- or she supposed- her new home.

When they landed, just shy of the couches in the lounge, Bellatrix stepped away from him and turned her back to him. He awkwardly shoved his hand in his robe pockets.

"We need to talk" She said, voice low. "About everything."

"We do" He replied testily.

Bella exhaled and turned to face him. "You were a right dick" She stated. Voldemort nodded. "I told you I forgive you"

"And do you?" He asked rather hesitantly. Bellatrix sat down on the couch and he sat opposite her. She threw on leg over the other and rested her elbows on it, clasping her hands together.

"Of course I do" She laughed but it lacked mirth. "I love you. I just..." Voldemort leaned forward. "I need to know your reasons" She finished, looking at him through her eyelashes.

Voldemort was silent for a long while.

"i was scared" He finally said. Bella's eyebrows furrowed together.

"You?" She asked. "The Dark Lord was scared of a little girl" Her voice had taken on a bitter tone and she bunched her skirt up in her hands.

Voldemort has no reaction and maintained eye contact. "You made me feel weak." He muttered and all of Bella's animosity faded away. She swallowed and stood, walked over to his couch.

"Well, I don't mean to love you so much" She joked but it fell flat.

"I'm not someone who is loved" Voldemort's voice was just a little bit above a whisper. "And I am not someone who CAN love". Bellatrix rolled her eyes then.

"Tom" She said softly but firmly. "We both know you do"

Voldemort didn't reply.

(A/N you ever have a self aware moment? I've just sat here and went. "Oh my fuckin god I'm writing a fluff fic about fucking Voldemort)

So she pressed on.

"That's enough for me" Bellatrix shrugged. "Because I love you in every way possible" She emphasised and grabbed his hand. Bella meant it too. She thinks that if anything happened to him, she couldn't physically survive. "But you need to know that I am NOT a toy you can play with whenever your bored, lonely or horny." She snatched her hand away with a glare and he turned to her with wide eyes.

"I'm not him" He spat. "Letting you go was the hardest thing i've done" He muttered.

Bellatrix grabbed his chin with one hand and brought his eyes to look into her own. The other hand traveled to grasp his arm tightly. "Then don't let me go again" She whispered and claimed his lips.
