another great one shot. i love how narcissa calls the mark beautiful.
and says it's like bellatrix. pretty but frightening at the same time.

Ooh, I never noticed this one. I liked the change to Cissy's perspective, and the way she almost revered Bella's dark spirit and passion. I think the line "No Darling, don’t ruin your pretty skin," really speaks volume about how Bella wanted to protect Cissy from a life she felt she couldn't handle.

Beautifully done, DDS, as always.

That was just great! I liked the contrast between Narcissa and Bellatrix, and how Narcissa wants to be like her sister. And how Bellatrix was so sisterly, it was like another hidden side of her, instead of her evil-Bella-kills-people-for-fun side.

Ooh! You captured Bella and Cissy's personalities beautifully! I especially liked the description of Narcissa and the comparison of the Dark Mark to Bellatrix.

Aw this was awesome! I luv how you mentioned that Narcissa wanted Bella's beauty.

I also luved how Narcissa was so influnced by Bella. She wanted to fight just like her. But Bella doesn't want her too.

They are so cool as sisters. I love it coz when everyone else in the Black turned from Bella, Narcissa stayed hanging on as long as she could. And this really hilights that they do care about each other.

Coz Bella wants Narcissa to be safe. Even though Narcissa wants to fight. I espeacially luved the line: "No Darling, don’t ruin your pretty skin. That's not for you."

It really shows Bella caring in her own way.

Awesome Fic!!

I love this little snapshot, so insightful into their relationship.
How old are they here? I assume Bella's in her late teens?
This is fantastic xD.

Wow! I love the way Bella really seems to care for Cissy! How old are they at this point? Amazing.. ^_^

Once again, I love your portrayal of the sisters' relationship. I especially enjoyed the comparison between Bellatrix and the Dark Mark; so original, and very fitting.

I loved it!

Disturbingly cute I must say! I love the relationship between the girls. I just love it. I have read almost all of your stories and you are bloody brillant! Keep up your awesomeness!

THat is so sad... I love Bella and Cissa's relationship. I makes me so sad to read about it though...

I love this. I love how you have Narcissa being influenced by Bella, and how it ties in to A Keen Observer.

Very cool. I love your description of Bella.

very dark and intriging i like it

Loved it. Love how you write Bellatrix!

Well she didn't follow her into jail, not yet at least. Nice one-shot.
