The fine line...

A/N: Sorry to interrupt, but I posted these two chapters pretty close together so if you haven't read 12 you might wanna go back and do it.

(Per)version of a Truth


Ava fell back on to the bed and didn’t move. Did Bella just hit her? She looked up to Bella and knew immediately that she had. Her face seemed to be reflecting the exact thing Ava was feeling. She lay there for a few moments, breathing heavily and trying to ignore what ever it was that had just woken inside her. She knew it wasn’t normal for her body to react this way to what had just happened, but she couldn’t help wanting more of it.

Finally Bella moved. She crawled on the bed so that he was lying on her side along Ava and rested her fingers on the base of her neck. “You see Mendez; I can fuck around with as many people as I want. I can make them want me and they’ll let me screw them senseless. Unfortunately though, there are some thing‘s even those easy whore‘s won‘t let me do to them.” She started running her fingers up and down Ava’s throat, dragging her nails just enough to leave marks on her skin. Ava swallowed hard. “And unfortunately for me, the thing’s I cannot do to them just so happen to be the only thing’s I want to do to them…”

“Like what?” Ava breathed out, trying hard to suppress the arousal growing inside her. Bella had always had some sort of physical affect on her, but this was different. This was more. She wondered if Bella could see the effect she was having on her and hoped she couldn’t. Judging by the look in her eyes though, she knew very well what was going on in poor Ava’s head. Why oh why did the evil minx affect her so?

Bella squeezed her fingers closed around Ava’s neck until she was gasping under her touch then lent in so her mouth was once again inches away from Ava’s ear. “Hurt them…” She whispered then dug her nails into the skin and dragged them down til they all met at the base of her neck. Sitting back again she admired her handy work. Running her finger’s over the red welts she had left she said “yes, hopefully they will last until Lucius gets his ass up here.”

Ava finally seemed to snap out of it. “This is the plan? You sadist…” She tried to keep her voice from shaking as she sat up.

“I wouldn‘t quite go as far as to call me a sadist, but I do feel there is a very beautiful line bordering pleasure and pain.” It didn’t seem like any sort of confession to Ava, she admitted it so casually. “You seem surprised?”

“No, not at all, really,” Ava replied.

“Sounds like Lucius is here…” Bella said. “Just a few more finishing touches and you’ll be perfect.” She pulled out her wand and magically bound Ava’s wrists to the head board of the bed then ran her nails over Ava’s ribs and stomach, leaving marks to match those on her neck. Ava had to bite her tongue to stop her self moaning at the feeling.

Ava tried to sit up and pulled on the bindings around her wrist. “Bella, I’m not entirely sure I’m comfortable with this anymore-” The sentence was cut short as Bella’s hand clasped over her mouth in an almost too painful grip.

Bella just smirked. “Time for you, pet, to play dead!” She emphasized the last word with another hard backhand to Ava’s face, her head hitting he pillow hard. Ava lay stunned and didn‘t move. “Good girl,” Bella whispered, kissed her on the cheek and got up. On her way to go open the door, she pulled out her wand and transfigured her school robes into a short black satin robe.

Ava exhaled deeply then closed her eyes and lay still. Partly because she knew that Lucius was here and it was now her job to fain sleep and partly because she was still trying to recover from what Bella had done (and was still doing) to her. She always knew she had a slightly darker side to her, but she never expected being bound, slapped around and treated like crap would turn her on so much. Her thoughts were put to an abrupt end as she heard the door open and closed her eyes immediately.

“Malfoy, so glad you could join me,” Ava heard Bella’s voice float across the room. It had returned to its usual iciness that it always had when in the presence of other Slytherine’s and she cold hear the smirk behind it.

“Well, Black, you’re request to have me here seemed urgent. May I come in?” Lucius drawled and walked straight past Bella, not waiting for reply.

“Do make yourself at home,” she replied sarcastically and shut the door behind him. “I have something I want to show you.”

“What is it? I see you got all dressed up for my arrival. Perhaps this is the night where you finally try and seduce me?” Bella just rolled her eyes. “Just think how it could be, you and me, ruling this school together. We’d be unstoppable.” He said, moving closer to Bella, trying to corner her against the wall.

“Keep it in your pants, you animal. You know I have no interest in your kind at all,” she spat at him and moved away.

“My kind? My kind? And what is that supposed to mean?” Even Ava could hear the unusual tone in his voice.

Bella only smirked and looked pointedly at his crotch. He straightened himself up to his full height and stared at her. “I see…” He whispered icily. “Tell me Black, how would Mr & Mrs Black react to the news that their pride and glory, their precious Bellatrix, only liked women? You can’t tell me that wouldn’t hurt them, knowing that their most promising daughter has no intention of marrying and carrying on the Black bloodline. Wouldn‘t they be devastated…” He made a noise that could almost be described as a chuckle, if only he were capable of doing it.

Bella froze. What he said had hit home, and hard. Disappointing her parents was one of her biggest fears, and she knew that everything Lucius had just said was completely right. As much as he had got to her, she wouldn’t show it. Instead she just raised one eyebrow and motioned her head towards the bed directly behind Lucius.

His sneer was momentarily replaced with a look of curiosity as he turned to see what he presumed Bella had bought him up here for. He took a sharp intake of breath as he laid eyes on Ava. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. There she lay, completely naked but for a small corner of sheet that lay just below her stomach, placed so that she was only barely covered. Her wrists were bound to the headboard of the bed yet she still looked peaceful in her sleep. As he moved closer, Lucius could see the red marks on her cheek from where he assumed she had been hit as well as all the others Bella had left on her body.

“Had to bind her and beat her into submission, did we?” He tried to sneer, but his voice was too shaky with lust for it to work properly.

Bella strolled over and stood over Ava. “Oh no, Malfoy. Not at all. I invited her up here for a break and she asked me for it.” Bella put on her best impersonation of Ava’s voice “Oh Bella, I feel we have become such good friends. I really trust you and I’m so happy that I got to know you,” she sniggered.

“Naïve fool,” Lucius said. “That still doesn’t explain the rope.”

“Well, here I was, fucking her senseless and she wouldn’t stop trying to touch me, so I threatened to tie her up and she said she wanted me to. Then she just wouldn’t shut up so I hit the girl and she asked for more. I’m telling you Malfoy, it was incredible. She’s a fucking wildcat.” She grinned at the expression on Lucius’ face.

“What’s she still doing here then? I thought you never let anyone stay in your room once you were done with them.” He said, obviously hoping she’d be leaving Bella’s room soon so he could get to her easily.

“Oh I’m not done with her yet. And I won’t be for a long time. Such a long time in fact that I think I may even put a permanent claim on her.”

Lucius looked angry like Bella had never seen before. “You can’t!”

“I think you’ll find I can Malfoy. You’ve done it before. I’ve never met anyone willing to let me abuse them like this, and I intend on taking full advantage of her. Besides, I don’t want you or any of your filthy friends to desecrate her.” She was sitting on the edge of the bed now and had resumed running her fingers down Ava’s neck, but still kept eye contact with Lucius.

“Fuck you, Black. You can’t keep her to yourself forever.”

“Wrong again Malfoy. As long as we are at this school then we both have to honour the agreement we made. You are an honourable man, aren’t you?”

Lucius was trapped. He knew she was right and couldn’t do anything to change it. Going against this agreement was exactly the kind of leverage Bellatrix needed to get ahead in the race for best Death Eater.

She got off the bed and started walking towards him and he backed away, moving towards the door. “Well, you best be heading off to bed now. I expect her to wake soon and when she does I’m going to take her every way possible and even when that’s over she’ll still be begging for more... Sleep well, Malfoy.”

For a moment he looked as if he was reaching for his wand to strike at her, but decided against it, choosing instead to turn on his heel and walk out the door with out saying a word. He slammed it behind him and Bella just grinned wickedly.

“Well Ava, it seems the plan worked- Jesus!” She began to call out as she turned around but was startled to see that Ava had somehow escaped her bindings and was standing directly behind her, still completely naked. They both stood for what seemed like a long time, staring directly in to each others eyes.

Finally Ava moved, shoving Bella against the door and grabbed on to the front of the black robe just above Bella’s chest, moving her face in so it was just inches away from the darker girl. “Hit me again…”

A/N: It's all happening now. For anyone who isn't into this whole "sadistic" thing, get over it. I'm not going too far into it, nothing too weird. I did warn you, and it was implied in the first chapter.

And while I'm on the subject of things you may not like, remember that I have warned you about hints at Blackcest in later chapters. Again I'm not going too far into it because I know it weirds a lot of people out and I don't want to lose readers, but it is pretty important to the story so you'll have to get over it :P

Thankyou all for your reviews so far, they really are keeping me going. It might be a while for the next chapter. I wrote 12 and 13 before I even started the story so I've only been writing up to this point so far, but now I have to go further. I know where I'm going I just don't know how to get there. Bare with me cause I'm not leaving this behind :)

Rock on.
