Bellatrix

Bellatrix Lestrange was having a blast. After so many years of passive interrogation in the Court's intelligence department, she could finally let loose. After being transformed into an immortal being by her lord when she had finally after countless assignments received his praise, she had become incredibly powerful. But she no longer had any opponents that she could fight or even torture properly to her own sadistic satisfaction.

She had gotten bored, blunt and simple but that was the truth. Together with her husband Rodolphus Lestrange they had been in the middle of an interrogation when they had received that they would be fighting in a war and not just any war mind you, it was a war that was against a being who was the closest creature to a god.

This meant that she the lord's most loyal follower could finally let loose and enjoy herself to her heart's content. She didn't have to hide her activities behind the Court's doors, there was no morality on the battlefield instead there was only defeating the enemy with the best way. And for Bellatrix, the best way was the most sadistic and pain-inducing way she could think off.

When she received the news, she had instantly wrapped up her interrogation receiving the knowledge that she required and had gotten ready for the war. Afterwards, she had arrived in the academy-fortress where his eminence the Blood Lord was waiting for their assistance. She understood along with the rest of the former death eaters that they would be fighting dragons- one of the creatures at the top of the magical beast food chain.

Just the thought of slaughtering the majestic beasts sent chills down her spine. After being told the plan she was disappointed, she had thought that she would be able to fight and spill the blood of the dragons.

But then she was told that she would be waiting till the lord class dragons would appear before she could kill them. What the hell was a lord class dragon? Later she was told that they were beings that had transcended normal magical creatures and wizards.

But that was impossible only the Infernal Lord and the Blood Lord were superior to the magical creatures and now she was being told that there was an entirely new world that was hidden from the mortals. After this thrilling discovery, she had smiled sadistically at the thought and instantly realised that she would finally have a challenge.

After the war, she would request the Infernal Lord's approval and leave on a trip searching for appropriate transcendent targets, no prey. Bellatrix felt her body shiver in anticipation at the thought.

Now at the present, she could finally unleash her will on her opponents, wait, victims, they were not worthy of being called opponents. Opponents were equals and they would be her prey. At the moment she had already slaughtered 6 lord class dragons and was making her way to her next target, wand on the ready and constantly releasing dark and terrible curses that caused the target to receive great pain and eventually death.

When her magical energy was exhausted, she pocketed her wand and started to attack the intended dragon with pure brute force as a result of her vampire physiology.

After slaughtering another 13 dragons Bellatrix got fed up, she had realised that the lord class dragons were too easy to kill and decided to fight one of the King class dragons to test her capabilities.

She knew that if she was to kill the king class dragon then she would be able to receive the praise of the Court's lords and perhaps a promotion from the rank of general to the rank of Lord- officially becoming one of the Lord rank beings alongside Kai, Tom and Bob.

So she targeted a particularly large king class dragon that was fighting against a few lord class beings and was currently easily winning, it was playing with them. But now that she had her eyes on it, the dragon was going to experience the worst time of its life before its eventual slaughter at her hands.

Bellatrix hadn't spent the last few years as the head of the interrogation department doing nothing and had learnt how to cause the maximum amount of pain with only her physical abilities.

This coupled with her gift allowed her to be the most efficient "interrogator" and receive the title "The Demon of Torment". There was a rumour inside the court that said that those that fell into her hands would feel like they were on a hell on earth and if they survived the torturous ordeal their minds would have been shattered.

She activated her gift and targeted the dragon. Her gift was an auxiliary ability, it didn't allow her to manipulate an element or to transform into some otherworldly monster, instead, it allowed her to amplify or reduce the target's sense of touch. This had caused her to bring an unprecedented level of pain to her victims.

In fights, the sudden increase in the sense of touch could cause the target to become disoriented from the much higher amount of information pouring into his brain and if he was of weaker will just black out.

But her primary use of the ability was to amplify the pain received by the target and in this case, the dragon was going to experience why she was called the Demon of Torment.

When she had first discovered the gift, she had tried to use it on the Blood Lord. However, when she had used it on him, she had discovered that the ability wasn't able to affect him, later she had discovered that as the progenitor he couldn't be affected by his sires' gifts.

Afterwards together with two Lords help, they had discovered the ability's true capabilities, in addition, after much studying, what the difference between generations meant. They had discovered within many weeks of testing, along with the rest of the sired vampires that the closer the generation was to the progenitor… The higher the chances the vampire would gain an ability.

That being said it also meant that the being's ability could be much more powerful depending on its generation. Later she had heard that his eminence the Infernal Lord himself had tried to understand what his ability's potential was and with the help of the Blood Lord he had managed to understand it somewhat. But she wasn't allowed to know of its usage.

That being said Bellatrix focused on the prey in front of her- a large dragon 20 metres long and 7 metres tall with a wingspan of 21 metres. It had many short barbs sprouting out of its neck and coming down its forehead. She reckoned that they could probably detach like Bob's could and luckily, she had sparred with the third Lord a few times with his permission to understand how to counter it.

But the arrogant beast had underestimated her, merely glancing at her before toying with the rest of its current victims. Wanting to get rid of the heavy dress restricting her she ripped it and threw it to the side, before charging at the beast, ready to teach him why it was wrong to underestimate her.

At the same time, she amplified one side of the beast's body by 5 times and the other side decreased its sensitivity so that it could barely feel its side. This caused the dragon to stagger and lose its balance before falling on the ground.

Bellatrix jumped up and smashed her small fists into the right side dragon's snout, this was the enhanced side. "Underestimate me have you! How do you like me now!" Her scream was full of anger and at the same time delight at the dragon's predicament.

It howled in pain but it didn't take any serious damage, she growled in anger before running along its neck and towards its wings, before tearing out their tendons and musceles and letting them hang uselessly by its sides.

The gift's usage caused serious strain on the user and she knew that she didn't have a lot of time before the ability would lose effect. Like she did before she jumped to the enhanced side and ripped out the various crucial muscles before closing them up and injecting her own vampire venom.

Over time she had decided that it was a waste to not use her venom to harm and torture, and together with a team of Court- issued scientists she managed to amplify the amount of pain felt without the victim turning into an immortal one. After injecting the venom, she lowered the intensity to multiply the senses by two and waited for the dragon to try and stand up.

After trying to get up bu to no avail for a few seconds the venom kicked in and it screamed in pain, each cry sending shivers down the mortal soldiers fighting, causing them to murmur among themselves mostly saying "The Demon is doing it again" or "Poor bastard" and other variations.

After the dragon's skull had been infected with the venom its cries increases and Bellatrix grinned madly, before cackling insanely. But she still didn't put the beast out of its misery. Only after its cries died down did she finally stab her hand into the poor beast's skull and separate the dragon's head from its body before burning it.

By the time she had finished, the rest of the battlefield was void of dragons or hostile vampires, there were only corpses strewn on the ground. But it wasn't the time to celebrate, the true battle was starting now. They had to wait for the main start of the show to appear.

And he didn't disappoint, after a few minutes an enormous shadow blotted out the light leaving the battlefield in pure darkness. The shadow opened its wings and howled into the concealed sky.

In the beginning, it was hard to think of what to put in the chapter, but as I continued it became easier until I finished. In case you don't know it is hard to write an insane sadist's Pov, so, if anyone can spot any mistakes in Bellatrix's portrayal can you point it out, because I'm trying to make her character as accurate as possible
