"this is the only way."

Severus thought as he slowly opened his sleeve to see his dark mark, for summoning the dark lord as he could be the only one to save her.

He waited for a minute and then heard the crack as someone had appeared in the dungeon

"WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE BELLA!"

the dark lord hissed, making Bellatrix twich in fear of her master

"my- my lord I was just-AHHH"

she was shot with the Torture curse by Voldemort as he saw the half dead lady

"I will see what to do of you later but now I have to clean this mess you have made. Severus, heal her or I will kill you. Whatever needecto resurrect her, ask Narcissa but. I want her alive."

The dark lord commanded and let the dungeon after which snape practically jumped to Xhavia's side

"you cannot die Amorette!"

He whispered and Narcissa entered the dungeon

"Severus, the dark lord sent- dear lord!"

Narcissa gasped seeing the pool of blood surrounding Xhavia and Snape.

She quickly ran to sit beside Severus who was holding her close to him and saying something in her ear

"snape, here- use your wand! If you need anything just ask."

Narcissa added, removing Snape's wand from the charmed purse

(the kind that Hermione carried) and he took it

"I would like to have some potions taken from my store, could you please get them?"

He asked, after which Narcissa nodded, she noted down the potions he asked and ran out of the dungeon, leaving Snape to heal the lady in pain.

After a few potions and healing spells, snape had healed her enough to stop the bleeding and had taken care of all the other scars she had.

He didn't know what would happen after she woke up but the damage Bellatrix had done to her was too much.

He felt guilty that he could not help the lady who already had suffered so much and then had saved him twice by taking all the pain on herself.

Snape found her to be a reckless, kind and a selfless woman, his heart warmed when he stared at her face as she had been whimpering, probably because of the pain, making it hard for Snape to face her as he felt even more responsible for it.

Severus stayed beside her the whole time as he watched her chest heave up and down as she slept.

He was sure that sleep would not come to him after he had witnessed such a terrible scene and so he sat there on the cold floor, with her head on his lap as he rested his head on the wall, falling asleep.

Xhavia woke up with a start as she had a nightmare, re alling the gruesome events that had taken place in the dungeon.

She slowly touched her neck and felt the skin, all healed but scarred.

She sighed thinking about how her whole body was scattered with scars and how she was tired of it.

"Your awake? How are you feeling?"

She suddenly heard the low drawl behind her which was Severus getting up from his slumber

"fine. I feel better."

she muttered and Snape's eyes widened as he had thought that she'd not be able to speak for a long time

"does your throat hurt anymore? Are you having any trouble-"

" no. I'm fine Snape."

she cut him off as she turned to face him with a smile and sparkly eyes.

It was almost ad if she was shining her Hopes on him to brighten the mood though it was her who needed the cheering

"you are one odd woman."

He muttered staring at her amused

"so I have heard! But you are also a great healer Snape."

she complemented closing the space between them and kissing him on the cheek

"and thank you for taking care of me!"

She whispered as she pulled back and sat beside him, leaning against the wall while Severus processed on what had just occurred.
