AN: And here we go, next chapter. It's only a short one but I decided to
upload it separated from the others.
Chaper 2
The following days passed like a dream. Akasha and Marcus spend, if possible, even more time together than usual. They rode over the hills surrounding Noctifer castle where both were living since their marriage.
But it was tiring for Akasha who was by now well advanced in pregnancy. Therefor they sad in front of the fire, she in his arms, and he read out loud for her. For Akasha wanted to hear Marcus' voice as much as possible. In return Akasha sat down at her piano and sang for her husband while playing. Together they watched the sun rising and setting. When Akasha fell asleep in her husbands arms he carried her to bed. Then he went and strengthened the wards surrounding the huge estate. He wanted his wife to be as safe as possible.
Finally the dreaded morning came. The air was clear and freezing cold. A soft thick blanked of snow covered the world outside around the gothic castle. Akasha and Marcus rode towards the estates huge entrance gate in silence. In spite of Marcus protest Akasha had insisted on accompanying him. Her desperation had dies down to a sad melancholy. It gave her a unique beauty and Marcus wanted to embrace her never let her go again. Then they reached the gate and Marcus got off his horse giving the reins to his wife.
"Take care of yourself. I won't be there to do so!" Akasha tried not to be to depressed or at last not to show it. But with all of her Slytherin calm and iciness she wasn't able to deceive her husband. "I'll try to be back as soon as possible. But probably not before you gave birth to that little bugger you're carrying around all the time."
He laid his hand on her stomach a last time and Akasha couldn't help but smile. Two years ago, when they had wed, she hadn't imagined him being so expectant, happy and.unslytherin about their baby. But he turned out to be very anxious and concerned about everything concerning her and the baby.
"I can't wait to see her and I can't wait to see you again. I love you!" He pulled her down to him and softly kissed her cold lips. Then he stepped back.
"Farewell my love!" And blowing her a kiss he spoke the password. The gate opened and closed behind him. Then he apparated away leaving Akasha behind. She sat motionless, the chilling air passing through her loose hair, blowing the long strands around her face like a curtain. "I love you, too", she finally whispered before turning around and riding back to her now lonely and empty home. A lonesome figure passing through an endless ocean of white, lost and sad.
