In his room, Lucius was laying on his bed. His anger grew as he thought of Narcissa. How dare she accuse him of performing lewd acts with a doll! He, Lucius Malfoy. How ridiculous! What sort of proper lady would make such an atrocious statement? He suddenly pushed himself off the bed. Something about this felt familiar. His mind conjured the memory of when he first spoke with Camellia after she bit him.
His parents were outraged, demanding an apology from the Blacks. He was lying on his bed, bruised and sore from that vicious girl's attack. He opened his eyes when he heard someone entered his room. Sitting up, he glared at her. Camellia closed the distance between them.
"Sorry I handed you your ass in a platter." The words came out of her mouth like a slap to the face.
Lucius was stunned and flinched when he heard the door slammed shut after she left. He could not believe what he had heard. What sort of ill bred person would make such an atrocious statement? When his parents came into the room he told them that he had accepted her apology. Surprised, he was by her statement that he didn't know what else to say. In the next months that followed he often asked his mother about the girl. He wanted to know her name and about her family. One day, his mother asked him if he wanted to see Camellia, allow her to come over to their manor for a play date. He told her no because he was really intimated by Camellia and feared she would attack him. He didn't see her again until they were in Hogwarts. He avoided her the first year of school. When he was finally decided to see her in their second year, she was different, quiet and reserved. He found out that her parents had recently divorced. He thought her parent's separation was what prompted the change in her personality and attempted to comfort her through her transition. Could it be that the person who bit him was Narcissa and the girl he attended Hogwarts with was Camellia? He had to find out the truth.
Lucius took out his wedding photo to look at it. The woman that was standing beside him was Camellia. Narcissa was nowhere to be seen. He opened all of the albums that were stacked in his room and gathered all of the photos that had him, Camellia and Narcissa and placed them on the floor. The sisters were identical. It was difficult to tell them apart. The only photo that he thought he knew who was who was the photo taken right before Camellia or Narcissa bit him. He studied the two little girls. Movement within the photo was a mere recording of a particular scene. The people are isolated within the world of their photo. Camellia or Narcissa was holding the doll. She was standing by Andromeda, while her twin was standing toward the back with Bellatrix.
"Camellia!" He shouted and both girls looked at him. "Narcissa!" Both girls looked at him again. The idea of shouting out their names was out the window since both girls respond to being called by either name. There had to be some way they could be told apart.
Lucius groaned in frustration. He picked up an album and throw it. It hit the vanity and fell on the floor. He stared at the vanity where Cissy used to stand on. Cissy...He recalled Camellia once told him that her parents had commissioned porcelain dolls made for each of them. Each doll was the exact copy of its owner. The craftsman even used their real hair and old dresses while creating the dolls. He looked back at the photo, his eyes went to Cissy. The photo was black and white, but he remembered what color the doll's dress was. She was wearing a yellow dress with white lining and she had blue ribbons on her hair. The twin that had bit him had pink ribbons tied on her hair. He remembered the color because the pink ribbons had hit his eyes right before she attacked him. When she came into his room to apologized, the ribbons on her hair was blue similar to Cissy's. Did Camellia change her ribbons while he was unconscious? She was wearing the same dress as before but he specifically remembered the color of the ribbons were blue. Narcissa had claimed that the Cissy was hers. Did it meant that she was the one who bit him? If Cissy belonged to Narcissa, then why did Camellia had her?

Narcissa was sitting on the stone stool in the middle of her family garden, her thoughts wondering to Lucius. She had loved him for so long, but he only loved Camellia. She accepted the truth, allowed it. It was for the best. She should forget about him and move on with her life. Maybe find a man who truly loved her for herself. When she stood up to return to the house she heard Lucius call out her name. She thought she had imagined it but there he was, standing outside her gates. Her heart was pounding in her chest as her eyes met his. The mere sight of him made her knees weak.
"What are you doing here?" she demanded.
"You're the one who bit me, weren't you?" he stated.
"I didn't bite you. It was Camellia."
Lucius looked at her thoughtfully. "If it was Camellia who bit me. Was it you who apologized?"
"Why does it matter?"
"It matters greatly!" He paused, inhaled and exhaled slowly. When he spoke again his tone was controlled. "Please, I need to know."
Narcissa could see how determined he was to know. If it meant getting rid of him then she would tell him the truth.
"Yes," she admitted, "it was me."
"You? You what?"
"I apologized."
"It was you? You who said, Sorry I handed you your ass in a platter?"
At the time she didn't know what they meant, but she felt like saying it. She was angry that her parents had convinced her to take Camellia's place. She often heard Bella said those words when she was angry, and forced to apologize by their parents. She honestly thought the phase was meant for that sort of occasion.
"Yes."
Lucius stared at her for a moment and then burst into laughter. Narcissa believed he had finally lost his mind and turned around, walking toward the house.

Lucius could not believe this! They had tricked him all this time. He straightened his spine to speak to her, but she was leaving. "Narcissa wait!" he shouted after her.
Narcissa turned around to face him, "Go home. It's late."
"No. We need to talk! I want to straighten everything now!"
"Goodnight." she said.
"Narcissa! Narcissa!"
She ignored as she walked away from him once again. He could not get through the gates. They were enchanted like the Lestrange's. While he was married to Camellia he was able to get through them, but now that she was dead his connections to the Blacks was gone. After the funeral, they had sent him a three foot long parchment declaring their hatred for him and that he was banned form their property. He couldn't pass the gates unless he was invited by a member of the immediate family, which was highly unlikely to happen. Desperate to stop her, Lucius picked up a rock from the ground and throw it toward her. Having no magical properties it was able to pass the gates. His aim was off. The rock hit her on the head and she fell on the ground with a thump. He didn't meant for it to hit her, but just to fly close enough to get her attention. Now what was he going to do? He was stuck outside of the gates, while she was on the ground unconscious. Without thinking he took out his wand, opened the gates, and went to her. He picked her off her the ground and her held her to his chest.
"I'm sorry." He whispered in her head. He took his hand away from her head when he felt something wet and sticky. It was blood. Her blood.

Narcissa came too with an throbbing pain on the back of her head. "What happened?"
"You fell."
Narcissa's eyes went to the owner of the voice. Lucius was sitting on a chair beside her bed.
"What are you doing here? In my room. Where I sleep."
Lucius cleared his throat as if ready to explain himself but didn't. Narcissa touched her head and felt the cloth wrapped around it. "What did you do? You hexed me didn't you?"
"I did no such thing." Lucius said.
"You're lying." she hissed.
"I did not hex you."
He was laying through his teeth. He did something to her. She knew it. If she was not in so much pain she would have hurdled insults at him. She closed her eyes and forced herself to relaxed, but it was proving difficult with him present.
Lucius took her hand into his. "How are you feeling?"
Narcissa immediately pulled her hand away. "I'm going to sleep. Leave."
"Not until I know you're all right."
"I'll be all right after you leave." Narcissa demanded and then something occurred to her as she took in her surroundings. This was not her bedroom. "Where am I?"
"This is one of my properties-"
Narcissa frantically glanced left and right. She pulled the blanket higher over her chest as if it was a shield and reached for her wand, which was suppose to be in the pocket of her dress. "You kidnapped me! You stole my wand! What do you hope to accomplish!"
"I want to talk to you." Lucius said in a calm and controlled tone. "If you would stop and listen to me then I will explain. I brought you here because I know about your deception."
Narcissa stiffened but refuse to show weakness. "What are you talking about?"
"After you fainted, I found that I can enter the gates. It aroused my suspicion. While you were unconscious, I dug up Camellia's grave. Did you know what I found?"
Narcissa's eyes widen with shock. "How could you disturb her grave?!" she gasped, "Isn't it enough that you murdered her!" She dropped the blanket and began to punch his chest. Lucius grabbed her wrist with little effort and held pulled her to him. He pressed his lips over her. Her body instantly relaxed at his familiar touch and melted on to his.
"Narcissa..." he breathed when they broke apart.
The spell broken, Narcissa attempted to pull away from him, but his strength overpowered hers. He released her wrist and wrapped his arms around her torso, pressing their chest against each other.
"Let go of me!" she shouted, hitting him wherever she could.
"Stop struggling - Ouch!" Lucius immediately released her when he realized that she was biting him. He stepped back, rubbing the tender spot on the center of his chest. "Right over my heart. How fitting."
Narcissa crawled away from him. Her back hitting the headboard. "Take me home. I don't want to stay here any longer!"
"You have too. Your place is here with me."
Narcissa shook her head in denial. "No."
"I am your husband, Narcissa." Lucius said firmly. "You're my wife."
Tears fell down her cheeks, "You love Camellia." she reminded him.
"I love you!" he proclaimed.
She wished it was true. With all that she had, she wished he did. "You love Camellia, you love Camellia, you love Camellia..."

Narcissa was brushing Cissy's hair while her father was attempting to convince Camellia to apologized to the boy she had bitten. She had fainted when she realized that the doll that Camellia was fighting over was her Cissy. When she woke she quickly took Cissy from Camellia and straightened her doll's dress and hair. She was upset at Camellia for stealing Cissy, but didn't yell at her since she protected Cissy from that awful boy.
"I'm not apologizing!" Camellia announced. She crossed her arms over her chest and stomped her foot. "He was mean to me!"
"But Camellia you must." their father argued.
"Enough," their mother said as she entered they room. Earlier she had taken Andromeda and Bellatrix to another room to get them out of the way. "I knew you couldn't do it, Cygnus."
Before their mother could say anymore, Camellia began to cry. Tears were her weapon of choice, when dealing with their mother. Their father was one thing, but their mother was a force to be reckoned with. "Please, mummy." she sniffed. "That boy is scarey!" she ran to her father's leg and hugged him.
Their mother sighed. "Fine, Narcissa."
She knew there was a reason they kept her in the room. "Why me? I didn't do anything to him." Narcissa protested.
"I know, love, but the Malfoy's demand an apology." their mother reasoned. "If you do it, mummy will buy you anything you want."
Camellia looked up from their father's leg, "Anything?"
"The offer isn't yours, Camellia. You had your chance. Narcissa only." said their mother.
"What? But that's not fair!" Camellia screamed.
"Anything, mummy?" asked Narcissa.
"Anything," their mother agreed.

Narcissa crossed her arms as she lifted an eyebrow to her twin sister. Camellia wanted something from her by the looks of it. She had been bragging about how great Hogwarts was for an hour now. "What do you want?"
"I want to switch schools." said Camellia.
"Tell father."
"I want to go to Paris."
"Then go."
Camellia huffed at her. "He won't let me!"
"Why?"
"My marks weren't good. It's not my fault! Hogwarts is so boring! The teachers are awful! Just awful! If I have to spend six more years with them I'm going to cut my ears off." Camellia whined.
"So you want to switch places with me." stated Narcissa, ignoring her sister's threats.
"Yes,"
"Why would I do that?"
"What do you want?"
Their parents back together, but Narcissa knew that it could never be. She'd asked her mother once, calling in that promised she had made her years ago for exchange of apologizing to that boy. Her parents refused to grant her wish and gave her new robes and dresses instead. As if material items could replace a family.
"You don't have anything I want."
"There has to be something." insisted Camellia, "How about this. We switch places for now and you can ask me for something in the future when you want something from me. I swear I'll give it to you."
Narcissa was reluctant to agree, but she had to admit this might come in handy one day.
"Deal."

"I want Lucius." Narcissa said to Camellia, calling in the debt she owned her for switching places. It was the end of their seventh year and their families were about to announced the the wedding date for Lucius and Camellia. Narcissa had pretended to be Camellia for six years, attending Hogwarts while Camellia was in Beauxbaton masquerading as her. They kept the secrets to themselves. No one knew because they were mostly at school, during the summer they would switch back as to not cause suspicion from their sisters and parents who knew them well.
"If you want him you can have him." said Camellia. "He's too much of a git for me anyways."
"Then it's a deal. You promise you won't interfere in our relationship." Narcissa pressed. "If he shows interest in you, you'll refuse him."
Camellia nodded her head in annoyance, "All right, all right. I swear on my life I will never betray you with him. If I do, may I die an instant death. There, happy?"
Narcissa wasn't, although she should be. She was about to marry the man she loved. But he didn't know who she really was. He still thought she was Camellia. She would tell him the truth. He'll be angry but not for long. He loved her. He'll forgive her. She only had to wait for the right time.
The right time never came...
Before, she was certain that he loved her and would forgive her for everything. There was still that fear. Fear that he loved Camellia and not her, Narcissa. She was living in denial. Walking with her eyes closed. He didn't love her. He loved Camellia. Not her. Camellia had feelings for him as well. Narcissa saw how she looked at him during the wedding. It's been years since Camellia saw Lucius. She only remembered him as that arrogant little boy, who wanted everyone else's toys. She saw him. Saw the man he had became. She wanted him. It was clearly written on her face.

"You switched places after your first year." said Lucius. "Everyone said you were different. It never crossed my mind."
Narcissa shook her head, denying it. She had not said anything incriminating as of yet. She and Bellatrix had taken care of everything, down to the last detail. He had nothing on her. Nothing.
"Were you in Hogwarts with me the entire time?" asked Lucius. When she didn't answer him he continued his questions. "What sort of deal did you make with her?" He went on the bed. On his knees, he was unbuttoning his robes as he grew closer to her.
Narcissa attempted to pushed herself further away from him. She believe he was not going to force himself on her. He was not that type of man. He only wanted her to react to his intimidation. But how well did she know him? He did things she thought he was never capable of doing and hurt her deeply.
"We'd switch occasionally." she lied, watching as he took the top of his robes off and threw them on the floor, revealing a naked chest. She was practically drooling at the sight of his lean body. Her body missed him terribly, but she suppressed her urges. Something she was used to doing, especially during the times he was gone, enjoying himself in the arms of countless women.
"Why didn't I ever see you two together? Did you made her stay away?"
Narcissa snapped out of her hormonal trance when he reminded her of Camellia's promise. She would die an instant death if she betrayed her. "I don't understand these questions of yours. I am Narcissa." she said with full confidence. "Not Camellia. You're obviously suffering a mental breakdown. It's all right I understand how you feel. I'm her sister. Her twin. Her death was my death. I lost a piece of myself along with her-"
"She was trying to kill you." he cut her off.
She blinked, "Who?"
"Camellia. She wanted you dead."
Narcissa shook her head. "Camellia would never! How dare you!"
Lucius grabbed her ankles and pulled her toward him, parting her legs he nestled himself on her center. Narcissa screamed as she saw the position they were in and felt the hardness between her legs.

I was going to make this longer, but I'm such a cliffhanger junky. The next chapter is going to be intense and maybe the last.
