"Enough! Leave me! Go... kill some Muggles or something!" Voldemort snarled.

"Yes, my lord." Bellatrix said, exiting the room quickly.

The façade she had started so long ago, for Voldemort, for the Other Death Eaters, finally seemed to drop.

"What have I become?" She whispered.

She passed Draco, she passed the other Death Eaters whose names she didn't bother to learn since they'd be dead in a week, she passed Rodolphus and she passed Narcissa and Lucius.

"Move it, slimeball." She snarled to Wormtail, before stalking into her room and breaking down.

Rodolphus came in, and shut the door. "You want to talk about it?"

"What happened to us, Rodolphus?" She said, tears starting to flow.

He pulled her close. "I don't know, Bellatrix. I just know that I love you, and we're going to make it through this."

"I love you too, Rodolphus, and that's ironic. We're the b-bad guys, we're not supposed to l-love, or have feelings, or feel awful about everything we've done." She sobbed.

He stroked her hair. "Sh, Bellatrix, sh. It'll all be okay."

"Is-is it so bad that more than half the people here are rooting for Harry Potter? That we know that one day, someone's going to say, 'hey guys, guess what I did today? I k-killed Bellatrix L-Lestrange' and they'll all cheer and have a good... drink." That was the last coherent thing she said before dissolving into tears and sobs.

"Oh, Bellatrix. Don't worry about it, okay? I'm sure that wouldn't happen." Rodolphus sighed.

"It w-would." She said tearfully.

He kissed her softly. "As long as I'm here, it won't."

"Rodolphus... the worst part is... I w-want it to. I want it t-to happen, I feel aw-awful about it all."

"Don't worry. It'll all be okay one day."

Narcissa knocked softly on the door. "Bellatrix? Are you decent? Oh my..."

She gasped at the sight of her eldest sister crying.

"Are-are you alright?" Narcissa asked worriedly.

"I was such an aw-awful person, Cis-Cissy. How did you es-escape it?"

"I was always the one intended to be the socialite, and you know it Trixie." Narcissa sighed.

"Mm. Mother always did like you best." Bellatrix said, in between the hiccup-sobs you get after you cry.

"Never mind that."

"No, it's true. You were always the golden child, the sweet one. Even with the three of us, you caused the least trouble."

"Now it's Andromeda."

"Yeah, well, I don't care about me anymore. It was always about the two of you, and that's how I'm going to end it. I can't help Andromeda at this point, but when the time comes, you have to go. You and Lucius and Draco have to go when and while you can. You too, Rodolphus."

"No, Bellatrix. If you go down, I'm going down with you."

"Aw. Seriously though, Cissy, you have to get out of this when you can."

"Trixie..."

"Promise. Me."

"I-I promise."

"Good. Now you, Rodolphus."

"I promise... to stick with you until the end. 'Until Death do we part', remember?"

Bellatrix frowned. "You really won't run?"

"I won't. I'm going to stand by you." Rodolphus said honestly.

She kissed him softly. "But Cissy, you have responsibilities. You have to outlive us, okay?"

Narcissa nodded. What else could she do?
