By the fifth day of being Narcissa's captive, Asphyxia's body was growing weak. She had lost count of the amount of hits she had received, but she was covered in bloody bruises, cuts, even burn marks where Narcissa had used Flagrate on her.
Her will was still strong and she refused to give in to Narcissa's demands for her to abandon Lucius.
***
Meanwhile, Lucius had arrived back from his week long excursion and was expecting Asphyxia's beaming smile to meet him upon arriving at Malfoy manor. However this was not the case. Not matter how hard he searched he could not find her.
An emotion stirred in him, one he seldom felt. He was worried.
“Asphyxia? Where are you?”
He went to her room and saw her wand on the desk. He picked it up and place it within his robes. After attempts and with no reply he took hold of his wand and initiated the spell he had cast on the bracelet he had given to her.
He immediately apparated to her location and found a scene he would wasn’t best pleased with.
He saw Asphyxia bound to a chair, unconscious with Narcissa looming over her.
“Don't you touch her Narcissa!” Lucius's voice rippled with anger and fear at the same time.
“Ah Lucius, impeccable timing as usual. You have arrived just in time to watch your plaything perish!”
Lucius drew his wand on Narcissa.
“If you think that I will not hurt you, you are sorely mistaken.”
Narcissa was very taken aback by Lucius's blunt manner.
“My Lucius, you have grown a backbone since our departure from being together.”
“Don't negate from the issue at hand. What right have you to abduct her, torture her and try to use her against me?”
“I have every right. She Got in the way of my plans to ruin you.”
Asphyxia stirred. With blurry eyes she could barely make out the scene in front of her but she knew Lucius's voice when she heard it.
“Lucius?” she whimpered.
Lucius didn't respond, but kept his focus firmly on Narcissa.
“That is no excuse Narcissa. I am offended that you would even say such things.”
“Lucius, this petty arguing is getting us no where. What is you plan? Do you even have one?” she hissed at him.
Silently someone entered the room to watch the proceedings unfold.
“At this moment in time Narcissa, I have no problem in killing you. You have dispelled any feelings that may have still resided in me.”
“It's all words Lucius. You fail to express an ounce of feeling behind them.”
The silent spectator slowly made their way towards the rowing pair, but made sure that it went unnoticed.
Fury raced through Lucius's body as words flowed from his lips.
“Avada Kedavra!”
As the spell emitted from his wand, the stranger jumped in-front of Narcissa and took the curse.
“NO!” Narcissa screamed!
Lucius looked down to see Draco laying lifeless on the floor. He had taken the hit for her.
“You killed our son!” Tears flowed down Narcissa's panic stricken face, “how could you?”
As she clambered to hold her lifeless Draco in her arms, Lucius turned and quickly untied Asphyxia's bonds. He wished to be out of there as soon as was possible. He didn't want to admit the atrocity that had just befallen him.
Asphyxia was more alert than when he had first arrived and saw her wand among Lucius's robes.
She took a hold of it and pointed it at Narcissa.
“Take peace in the fact that you will die by his side Narcissa.”
She looked to Lucius for his approval and he simply turned his back on the scene.
“Avada Kedavra!”
Narcissa fell, still holding Draco in her arms.
***
Lucius and Asphyxia immediately Apparated back to Malfoy manor.
As they arrived, Lucius headed straight for his bedroom without so much as a glance at a shaken Asphyxia.
She ran after him and grabbed his arm, “Lucius talk to me please, it isn't going to do you any good being alone.”
He stopped dead in his tracks.
“If I had been left alone, my son would still be alive.”
Asphyxia heard the contempt in his voice. It was obvious to her that he felt she was to blame for what had happened.
“It was never my intention for any of this to happen. You really think I set out with the plan to hurt either Narcissa or Draco? Blaming me wont bring either of them back.”
Lucius clenched his fists.
“Don't even mention their names in my presence.”
As he spun around he gave the slightest movement of his cane and sent Asphyxia flying into the nearest wall.
“You have no idea of what I am feeling, you couldn't even begin to comprehend it.”
She could hear the pain in Lucius's voice. No matter how hard he tried to show the world he didn't have emotions and was incapable of such feelings, somewhere in the deepest depths of him, what had transpired in that room had ripped him apart.
As he held Asphyxia in place with his wand, he placed his hands around her throat.
“I hold you fully responsible for Draco's death Asphyxia, best you know that now before your punishment begins.”
As she started to choke, he released her and she slid to the floor gasping for air.
“Lucius please, none of this was supposed to happen!”
“Don't beg Asphyxia it is so unbecoming. And besides,” he scoffed, “you will need all your energy later.”
He turned and disappeared into the darkness of his bedroom.
Asphyxia worried about what lay ahead. What did he mean by punishment?
She got up and ran to her room, collapsing on her bed in floods of tears.
Nothing that had happened in the past week had been in her plan to become a part of Lucius's life.
It was a tragedy that Draco had become an unnecessary victim in Narcissa's games to ruin Lucius.
***
Lucius stormed around his chambers thinking about what his next move should be.
His anger coursed through his veins as he decided what he would do to punish Asphyxia. After all in his eyes, she was the one at fault and he was going to take his grief out on her. He just needed to think of something that would be appropriate.
As he was about to give up and simply settle for using the Cruciatus curse, something came to him.
Lucius took off his cape, went to his drawers and rifled through for his restraints before storming to Asphyxia's room.
As her screams echoed through the manor, Asphyxia took every minute of punishment that Lucius saw fit to give her.
'Although,” she thought to herself, 'it cannot be any worse than what Narcissa put me through.' Her eyes closed to try to focus on something other than the excruciating pain that she felt, and she had no idea if she would ever open them again.
Lucius stopped hitting her as soon as she passed out from pain and untied her. He lifted her limp body and carried her to his bedroom, laid her on the bed and stoked her face. “I have to make you think I don’t love you. It's best all round, even though every swing... was breaking my heart.”
Asphyxia came to, and felt the warm sensation of someone holding her.
“Don't ever cross me again Asphyxia. I hope this is the only lesson I will ever have to teach you.” The tone of Lucius's voice had changed. No longer did she hear contempt, she heard a much softer and gentler Lucius talking to her.
She snuggled into his strong arms, making sure she didn't press her bruises too hard as to make them hurt more.
Lucius waited a few more minutes before asking her, “have you learnt what I was trying to teach you, Asphyxia?”
She nodded, she knew never to cross him again. Now all that was needed was to show the rest of the wizarding world that Lucius Malfoy was back, and he meant business.
***
Over the coming days and weeks as her wounds healed, Asphyxia saw little of Lucius, he did his best to occupy himself in his study. He had to give himself time to come to terms with a few things; including his feelings about losing Draco. Never had he felt so torn. He had fallen for Asphyxia, but at the same time if she wasn’t in his life he would still have his son. But he felt that although he loved his son dearly, and nothing would ever replace him, it was time he started a new life.
Lucius arose from his desk and headed towards Asphyxia's room.
She was sat at the table in her room writing in her diary. It read as follows:
I cannot carry on like this.
I have to tell him the truth and hope that he doesn't take it badly.
I love him more than words or magic could ever convey.
He needs to know that...
As she was half way through writing the last sentence, Lucius had already come up behind her.
“He needs to know what, Asphyxia?”
Asphyxia's heart skipped a beat. 'Damn,' she thought, 'I've been caught.'
“Oh um,” she stuttered and muddled her words.
Lucius pulled her up from the chair and pushed her against the desk.
“Do I have to convince you to tell me?” He seductively pushed his body against hers.
No matter how much she didn't want to admit it, after the punishment she received at the hands of Lucius, she was more in love with him than she had been before. But how could she tell him something she had found out just a few days earlier, and that she was unsure how she felt about herself?
Lucius saw the look of fear come across her face. “Asphyxia? What is wrong?”
Without her even realising what she was saying, the words flowed out of her mouth. “Lucius... I'm pregnant.”
A surge of adrenaline rushed through Lucius's body. What was going on? Could she possibly be pregnant, and if so, was she going to keep it?
“Is this meant to be some sort of joke? I've just lost my son and you have the audacity to pull this kind of stunt?”
“i can assure you Lucius this is no joke. I will recast the charm to prove it if you like.”
Lucius placed his wand on her stomach and muttered the charm under his breath. As a warm orange glow came from the tip of his wand, he knew this was no stunt.
He didn't know how to react. He had so many conflicting feelings it was all getting too much. “You will forgive me if I don’t jump up and down like an excited child.”
“Are you angry?” She inquired tentatively.
Lucius shook his head. “How could I be angry? It isn't your fault in the slightest, however maybe we should have been slightly more careful. We should get you to see my personal physician to get you checked over after and make sure everything is well.”
As he turned to leave, Asphyxia stopped him. “I don’t have to...terminate it...do I?”
“Do you want to?” He asked coldly. He half expected her to say yes, but she didn't.
“No, I thought you would want me to. Because since the incident you have been so distant. It's like your only waiting for me to heal fully before you send me back to my own place.”
Lucius ignored her. “I will call for Madame Wick to come tomorrow. Until then, I will bid you goodnight.”
Before she could argue, he turned on his heel and vacated the room.
Asphyxia placed her hands on her stomach and smiled.
It was a little sooner than she had hoped for, but she had always wanted a family. Ever since her sister Mimi had got married and started a family, it had inspired her to do the same thing. She often thought about what she would call them and how many she wanted. She herself had come from a small family. There had only been her, Mimi and her two parents growing up in the house she now lived in alone. They had moved onto Romania just after the demise of Voldemort and had made plans not to return. They were Purists, however they had learnt to tolerate those who were not.
As Asphyxia fell asleep that night she smiled to herself and quietly whispered to the life growing inside her, “you should be proud little one... You have an amazing life ahead of you.”
Lucius meanwhile, was pacing around his bedroom. He was secretly thrilled that he was going to be a father again, but with it being so close to losing Draco, it was a lot to take in.
