Bellatrix woke up the same way she has for the past week, with an aching arm and a cold bed. One of those things she knew the source of. The dark mark. A week ago Rodolphus had thrown her at the Dark Lord's feet and she was sworn into the Death Eaters. It made her nauseous just thinking about it, she was no one’s slave.
The other more confusing and frankly infuriating one would be because once again Rita was gone before she woke. Bella knew Rita was busy but this.. this was too much. Nevertheless Bella once again got up and drank the cold coffee Rita had left out for her (with a bit of fire whiskey)…(okay a lot of fire whiskey)
But then right on schedule their owl delivered the daily news from all publications including her beloved’s. Which of course she read last. One article was about a new and popular actress and another was about a circus that turned out to be a cover for poachers.
Before she got to The Quibbler she got another drink this time a gin and tonic. Then proceeded to drop it when she finally read the headline.

Bella's breathing practically stopped. She could imagine her sister Andy reading it thinking that Bella is just like the rest of their dark family. The entire wizarding world thinks she’s a crazy dark witch.
“Well” she mumbled “if that’s all they're going to think i am then i'm gonna show them i can be so much worse!” With that she apparated away

Bella stumbled as she landed but that didn’t stop the witness from cowering in fear. She paid them no mind as she stormed to her destination. The little cubicle where one Rita Skeeter is staring at Bella.
“You conniving, traitorous little bitch!” Bella screamed as she approached.
“Trixy” Rita tried to interrupt
“Don't you dare Trixy me! You would burn the world if it meant you had a good story to publish! Drink it up like you were dying! We’ll sip the gossip and drink till you choke. Sip the gossip, I hope it burns down your throat. Your not iconic, your just like them all, don’t act like you don’t know!” Bellatrix screamed and yelled and threw anything nearby at Rita as she did so. Then she tilted her face and said once more “I hope it burns.”
Right before Bella disapparated she winked at Rita and cast fiendfyre.
