A medium sized Long-eared Owl swooped through the window where the Death Eaters usually met. It dropped a letter onto the table and then flew back out the window without so much as a hoot. It had been instructed to be as quiet as possible, in case anyone was meeting there. Bellatrix was nervous about bringing in a new recruit and wanted to make sure she didn't cross the line. The letter read:
My Lord,
I have found a woman interested in joining you. She wishes to meet with you. I thought it best to inform you first before bringing her in person.
Bella

Voldemort was walking through his newest headquarters. Things were going along swimmingly, He entered what he began to refer to as the meeting chamber and saw an owl waiting for him. He took the letter tied to the birds foot and read the note and smiled. He wanted to meet this woman, furthering his appreciation of Bellatrix. He wrote back with angular, but graceful writing:
Send word to her that I accept this meeting. Bring her here Bella. I look forward to this visit. should she not meet my needs, well you needn't worry yourself.
Voldemort.

Bellatrix apparated with Tai Lee next to her. She smiled happily at Tai and took a deep breath before walking inside the large mansion to introduce Tai to Lord Voldemort. Her heart was pounding in her chest with nerves and excitement. "My lord, this is Tai Lee."

Voldemort smiled at the girls. Bella had excellent tastes. He walked forward and welcomed both girls into the parlor. "Excellent! Please the both of you, sit down." he said charmingly kissing both Bella's and Tai's hands. "What brings you to me Ms. Tai Lee?" if there was one word to how this woman looked it would be exotic, but she seemed fairly simple in her way of deception, she was beautiful and there in lay her power over others, he thought as the women sat down.

Tai smiled brightly, "To serve you! I fell in love with your vision! You will be the unifying ideal in my country and many others!" she said brightly. She was impressed by his presence in the room, he was handsome and charming! Yes, she'd gladly serve him.

Voldemort was pleased by this girl! she was so willing. He smiled at her and said "Ah, so you'd help me reach across this globe and cover it in my mantel of power?" He leaned slightly in his chair toward his girls, interested in what she would say. Bella might be jealous, but it would be a perfect opportunity to reassure her and cement her further to him.

Bella smiled as the Dark Lord kissed her hand, and she sat down where he directed her. She sat quietly, listening to them talk and hoping he would approve of Tai. Bella didn't want her first recruit to be dismissed, but at the same time she was wary of another beautiful girl joining their ranks. She already had enough competition with Claudia.

Voldemort was quickly realizing just how many beautiful woman were more than willing to jump into an abyss of evil and darkness, all for the illusion of beauty. How glad he was for vanity and avarice and wrath.

Tai's heart fluttered, "Of course I'll help spread your mantel of power!" she chirped. she was a bundle of excitement. but what Tai didn't notice, at least not immediately was the soft mewling of a small babe.

Voldemort was going to respond in kind to her, when he saw the wet nurse with the child in her arms. She looked as she hadn't slept and her hair was unkempt. He never did give her permission to sleep, oh well. Her eyes were wide and glazed. She was aware of where she was. His eyes flashed scarlet. He stood halting his conversation with his girls and said in a voice as warm as cold steel "What are you doing? BACK to your room!" he raised his wand and saw the woman coward, shielding the child. he smiled cruelly "Stupid woman" and cast his spell over her again,"Now, go back to your room, sleep a while." he said almost kindly, if he hadn't planned already in killing her, he was now.

Tai looked over her shoulder and saw the frazzled woman. The baby in her arms, Voltaire's baby! he was mewling as if he didn't want to be awake. She saw the woman's eyes slide back to gray blank and shuffle her feet back up the stairs. She looked back to her lord to await what he would say next. would he bother to explain what that woman was going there?

Voldemort looked down at his girls and said "No need to fret, she's a special project of mine." he smiled charmingly again and sat back down. "Excellent Tai, I do believe the next meeting we will give you a special gift. One all my loyal followers get." he said casting a look to Bella.

Charles walked in to the room where Voldemort spent his time and stopped short at the door. There was Bellatrix, standing with the woman he'd seen hanging all over Voltaire. Isabella had said her name was Tai. He narrowed his eyes a second, then cleared his throat. "My lord, I hope I am not interrupting anything, but I have urgent news for you... concerning a certain trinket you've been seeking..."

Voldemort looked up at Charles. a slow smile crept to his face. "Let me see it." he said standing waving a hand at the girls, silencing their questions. He walked with deliberate slowness. his dark robes moving gracefully with him toward Charles. He held out a hand to catch his treasure.

Charles dug into his pocket and produced the heavy gold locket. "Here it is, my lord," he said, placing the treasure into his lord's hand. Then he held his breath and waited to see what would happen next.

Voldemort's eyes curled with a dark and unrestrained joy. His smile became a dark and terrifying grin. "Oh my boy, you've done so very well...Very well indeed. You've just restored to me, an insurance of my long reign." he carefully stowed away the necklace in a pocket on his breast. He laid a cold hand on Charles and said "Most excellent, You will be rewarded for this. In fact I have another special mission for you. Follow me, Girls, you stay there." he gently removed his hand from Charles and walked to the foot of the stairs, expecting Charles to follow.

Bellatrix had turned when Tai did, to look at the woman with the baby. But the initial interest in what was going on behind her; what had made her master stop his 'interview' with Tai, had gone now. To say she cared very little for children was an understatement, and this child was no exception. She gave the infant her attention when she thought it would please the Dark Lord, but quickly ignored it's existence after that.
Bella felt a rush of adrenaline when the Dark Lord mentioned Tai Lee's special gift. He obviously liked Tai and Bella hoped she would be commended for introducing him to such a fine young woman. But Bella's hopes for praise were soon dashed as Charles entered the mansion and drew Voldemort's attention from the girls.
She watched with great interest as the two talked, keeping herself quiet as she craned her neck to get a better view of what was happening. Charles had obviously found the locket Lord Voldemort had requested. Bella scowled to herself, Charles had just overshadowed her. She did not like it.

Charles followed dutifully, not saying a word. He was nervous, but he quickly supressed his thoughts with every bit of strength he had in him. Now was certainly not the time to get cocky. He shut out all thoughts of Isabella and her baby and concentrated solely on the task at hand.

Voldemort climbed the stairs in a slow and deliberate fashion. He walked down a far wing of the home, in a guest room, the sound of a mewling babe was heard. He walked toward the room and opened the door. The nurse was once again, seeming not to have slept to keep the child happy. He smiled at seeing her wasted and ill.

Charles looked at the squalling infant with a carefully crafted gaze of disinterest. He took note of the child's unhappiness and the haggard, gaunt appearance of the woman tending him, but forced any further thoughts on the subject out of his mind as he followed his master.
