To The Death

(Part of the Mistress Red Death universe)

Bellatrix LeStrange was sitting in a tea house when she heard someone calling out her name. Turning in the voice's direction she saw a woman wearing a mask. Curious, she asked the newcomer, "What do you want?"

"To kill you."

With that statement, everyone in the tea house quickly left the premises. Bellatrix stood up and faced the newcomer who had settled into an Iaijutsu stance.

"What have I done to earn your ire," Bellatrix asked.

"House Potter."

Eyes widening, Bellatrix demanded, "Who are you?!"

"Your death."

Those were the last words Bellatrix LeStrange heard before her head was separated from its body with a single stroke. The onlookers were stunned when they saw the masked woman quietly leave the building. One patron took a peak inside and screamed when he saw the head of Bellatrix LeStrange on a pike.

On the outskirts of the town, Lily Potter tossed the mask she wore into a nearby stream. There will be more, she thought to herself, many more.
