Prologue:

Light broke through the cracks in the boarded up window. The room was dusty, the furniture that had been in it, old, warn and falling to pieces, lit up by what little light that poured into the room. A person, a female, naked, gagged and tied up; chained to the wall as far away from the door that was their only means of escape. For as a witch if the room had not been protected against it, then she would have Disapparated out. She had been here a while now, held captive by her assailants. How many days she had been here, she did not know. All she knew was she had to get out.

The days she had been here, she had been tortured by both magical and non-magical means. Starved and hardly been given any water. This normally was not a problem to her, growing up she had been used to the treatment of not receiving meals or water. However, another life depended on her now. A small bump graced her naked form. That was the other reason she could not Disapparate from the room, it would do more damage to her unborn child.

Her husband Theo, had been killed in front of her very eyes, when they had first arrived. Her captors had wanted to teach her a lesson. And all because she had done something - almost three years ago now …. She had taken someone from them, so in turn they took Theo. She had not been looking for any kind of relationship when she met him, the war had just ended and she had taken refuge in the Muggle world. Theo was older then her by a few years, the year she turned eighteen, he himself turned twenty-five. They would regularly bump into each other at their local supermarket, but it all started on the day her bags had spilt open. Theo had been passing by, helped her sort all of her shopping out and then randomly asked her on a date. Theo turned out to be the change she needed, he was a newly qualified teacher, who happen to love life and live for the moment. His outlook on life made her fall in love with him, hard and fast, they married a year later. He was slightly bewildered to learn that not only was she in fact magical, but she was also famous within that world.

And now, after days of being tortured and raped, her captors were planning on taking her very life …. the door opened …. She looked up …. A man dressed in a black robe, entered the room, the hood of his robe covered his face. Though it would not stay that way for long, he had brought just a wand with him this time, her own wand. For she had recognised what he was tapping against his palm. But the idiot had made a grave mistake, three in fact – the first he had come alone and the second, he had left the door open and the third, he had her wand ….

The wand traced lightly over her naked form, as though he was wondering where he was going to hurt her first from it. She screamed into the gag as the Cruicatus curse hit her. Then felt the cutting charm hit her skin … the chains magically forced her to move and she now laid on the cold floor upon her back, a blindfold covering her eyes, the gag had been removed – water now splashed over her face, over her nose and mouth causing water to gash down her throat – she coughed but it only made her choke on water – she knew this technique – it was meant to make her feel like she was drowning – but she didn't feel that way at all, because she knew where she was, and although she could not see, she knew what was happening to her. She gagged on the water, no sooner had she stopped, she had been moved again, the chains moving her arms now to her sides, her legs spread wide and bent awkwardly, she could hear rustling – she bit her lip waiting for the moment she knew she would soon arrive – it was why he had not re-gagged her, he hoped to hear her scream …. He entered her in one swift forceful movement – she choked back the moan of pain –

He slumped as he finished up, the idiot had made a fourth mistake, he had her wand loosely within the palm of his hand, as he moved to remove himself, it brushed against her own, using what little movement she had, she took it from him …. He should have known … he was warned … she was an Auror after all, his body flew across the room, she had knocked him out cold by casting a Stunning Spell non-verbally. The chains fell off her moments later, and she stumbled as she got to her feet ….

Flicking her wand once more, she cast a Full Body Bind, conjured a dress and cast a Patronus to her Auror partner …. But now she could feel something trickling down her leg … blood …. She felt an awful pain - abdominal pain, she fell to the floor, and moments later two people enter the room, wands stretched out before them, sweeping the room. Her partner wasted no time however; he merely picked her up from the floor.

Stress …. That is what the Healer tells her hours later …. Too much stress was put onto her body …. And that she was not to blame herself … it could have happened to anyone who had gone through what she had …. All she knew was one moment she had been five months pregnant, happily waiting for the arrival of her child, the next she wasn't ….. her son, was tiny when he had been born - tiny and he was not breathing, the Healers tried everything they could but not even magic could save him.

'We need a name for the baby Mrs Mason. We do not wish to be unkind but it is needed so we can fill out the paper work.' The Healer said.

Subtle, she thought. She had just lost her son. The only thing she had left of her husband. Wasn't it wizarding tradition to name the son after the father. Theo …. But he hadn't wanted his son to have his name, not as a first name. What had been the name he wanted again … something beginning with K – Kai. Yeah she should do that.

'Kai …. Kai Theo Mason …' she said quietly.

Yeah she liked the name she thought …. It had a nice ring to it. Kai Theo Mason, she wondered what kind of man her son would have turned into, if he had been given the chance.
