Remus Lupin stood naked before Lucius Malfoy with a completely vacant expression on his face, awaiting his master's desire. Malfoy smiled a satisfied smile full of malice. He reached down and lightly caressed Lupin's private parts, smirking at the automatic response he got. Everything appeared to be in working order here.
For a moment his aristocratic face went rigid with pain and hate, and his eyes glittered coldly. "Damn Snape to hell!" he whispered to himself. "Well, this is a start."
He walked around behind Remus and put his mouth to the werewolf's ear. "Take a look at the lovely lady on the ground in front of you. She's waiting eagerly for you, wolfman. She wants you to make love to her. You'd like that, too, wouldn't you?" The sweetness of this tone contrasted sharply with the horror of his words.
Filled with eager anticipation, he paused, waiting for Lupin to respond. Lupin focused his eyes on Evangeline. He smiled a bit vacantly and responded in a distant voice. "Yes." His manhood twitched again as he looked down at her.
Malfoy chuckled in satisfaction. "Well…what are you waiting for? She likes her lovers to be rough and violent, wolf. She enjoys being hurt. Make her cry in pain for me, all right?"
Lupin's face took on a savage leering grin, and his body began to respond more boldly to the idea of rough sex with the helpless, imprisoned woman before him.
Evangeline struggled harder against her bonds. Her wrists and ankles became slick with blood. The wire cutting deeply into them as she writhed around, frantically seeking escape. She pleaded with Malfoy. "Please, don't do this, Lucius! Please! I'll do anything you want…just don't force Remus to hurt me. He'll never be able to get over it once he realizes what he's done! Please…if there's even a speck of humanity in you, Lucius…don't do this!!" Her voice rose with her desperation.
Malfoy just laughed as he and the ensorcelled Lupin advanced on her. "Your fiancé has left me with so few pleasures. Why should I deprive myself of the intense enjoyment this little situation is bringing to me? Oh, my dear, Evangeline, surely you know me better than that! I really hadn't planned on this, you know. I thought it enough to merely have your pet kill you for me, but this is even more delicious. Yes, Severus would absolutely loath this little scenario. Too bad he's not here to watch! I'd get even greater satisfaction out of that. I guess I'll just have to describe it for him later…in detail."
Malfoy continued to laugh in utter satisfaction as Lupin threw himself onto Evangeline and proceeded to violate her brutally while she screamed every foul epithet she'd ever learned at Lucius Malfoy.
**********************************************************************************
Once the violent attack was over, and Evangeline lay there sobbing and bleeding, and Lupin lay next to her in a dazed stupor, Malfoy approached them again and sneered viciously. "Well, that was fun wasn't it, my dear? I know I certainly enjoyed myself. It rather makes up for a lot, actually. However, much more fun ahead, hmm? I'm sorry to rush, but I'm on a rather tight schedule, and this unexpected delight has consumed a bit more time than I had allotted for this portion of things. I'm afraid we really must move along a bit faster if we're to get to the main event. Your execution."
He smirked and waved his wand at the wall by the door. A clock appeared abruptly, its hands indicating the time as 4:08 p.m. "Moonrise comes early tonight…before full dark, at 7:52 p.m. That should give you both a little time to contemplate your fate. I'm rather proud of my planning. Using your pet werewolf to end your life appeals to me greatly, Evangeline, my dear. Well, all good things must come to an end, I'm afraid. It's time for us to part. I must get back to Hogwarts to watch the show. I'll bet Severus has noticed you're missing by now…both of you. I wonder if he'll put the correct connotation on that or if he'll simply wonder if you've run off together. Neither thought would be pleasant, I imagine, but then the last thing I'm aiming for is to give Severus Snape pleasure! Oh, no. It's time for "dear Severus" to pay…in spades."
Malfoy got down and forced one more savage kiss on Evangeline, then he rose and headed for the door chuckling with delight at his own cunning. The foul wizard turned back once more as he was closing the door. He waved his wand again, and Evangeline's bonds vanished. He next aimed at Remus Lupin. "I suppose you might as well be free to contemplate your actions, werewolf," he said with a smirk as he released Lupin from the strengthened Imperius curse.
As Lupin's eyes filled with self-loathing and intense pain, Malfoy aimed his wand one last time at Evangeline. "Something to remember me by, my dear." He flashed her a vicious grin. "Crucio!" he murmured with a loving tone and closed the door on her screams.
**********************************************************************************
As the pain finally faded away, Evangeline lay still, absolutely numb and drained. She tried not to think about anything at all, and for a moment or two she actually managed a glimpse of black barren nothingness. Then she made the mistake of opening her eyes, and the sight of Remus Lupin staring down at her with an agonized expression on his face, brought everything crashing back down around her. She felt herself jerk reflexively back away from him as he tentatively reached out to touch her. He immediately pulled his hand back and turned away from her, moaning softly. "I'm sorry…I'm so sorry, Evangeline!" He threw himself down on the earthen floor and began to quake with shuddering sobs of anguish.
Evangeline pulled herself together and struggled to sit up, ignoring the stabbing pains, both internal and external, that assaulted her with any movement. Her body kept shivering convulsively with the after effects of the Cruciatus curse. Thank god he hadn't cast it more than once! Slowly she got to her hands and knees and crawled over to Lupin, laying a hesitant hand on his shaking shoulders as she sat heavily down beside him.
Licking her cracked lips, she whispered, "Remus, it wasn't your fault…you couldn't help it. I don't blame you. Please…you've got to get a hold of yourself. We need to find a way out of here. Please, Remus…talk to me." She rubbed her hand back and forth comfortingly on his bare shoulder, trying to ignore the small smears of blood from her abused wrists that she left with each stroke on his flesh.
Lupin's shuddering stilled, and he forced himself up into a sitting position. They stared into each other's eyes, sharing their pain, but not sure just what they could say that would be of any help. Suddenly overcome with a wave of unbearable weariness, Evangeline leaned weakly against him, and he put his arms around her and hugged her tightly. Once the thought of holding Evangeline's naked body in his arms would have filled him with happiness and desire. Now all he could feel was shame and self-loathing at the intense pain he'd caused her…at the horrible way he'd treated her.
With a sigh, she patted him gently on the chest as once more he cried out how sorry he was. She shook her head. "It wasn't your fault, Remus. You didn't rape me, Lucius Malfoy did! He just used your body to do it. You bear no responsibility for this."
Lupin took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "That sounds good in theory, Evangeline, but it was my hands that were hurting you, my body that was assaulting you, and it's my mind that'll never be able to banish those ugly images…my soul that'll bear the pain."
She pulled back and looked at him with compassion. Gently she put a hand to his face and spoke softly, "I know, Remus, and I'm so very sorry that you had to suffer, but we have to put this aside for now. We need to find a way out of here, or we're both going to be doing a whole lot more suffering. You didn't take any of the Wolfsbane Potion that Severus made so carefully for you last night, did you?"
Reluctantly he shook his head. "No. I woke up here this morning. I have no idea how I got here." He snorted in disgust. "Practically the only night all year that Sirius doesn't camp out in my room, and I get abducted! How the hell did Malfoy get into Hogwarts anyway? And how did he get his filthy hands on you?"
She frowned and shook her throbbing head carefully. "I'm not sure. The last thing I really remember is going to look for you. I was worried when I couldn't seem to find you anywhere. Someone came up to me…called my name…but I can't really remember who it was…then I just remember waking up here."
A shiver ran through Lupin as she spoke. Bait. Malfoy used him as bait to lure her here. Then he used him again to torture her, and now, a final use…as her executioner! His mind rebelled violently at the very thought. "You're right, Evangeline, we have to find a way out of here. Can you stand?" He jumped up and helped her slowly get to her feet.
She groaned and her body shivered convulsively again. "I'm pretty stiff and sore, and my head feels like it's about to explode, but I think I'll be okay." She placed a hand on her stomach. "At least I don't feel any deep abdominal pain, so hopefully that means the baby is okay…at least for now."
Lupin's expression got even grimmer as he realized the implication of this. Two potential deaths to lay at his feet, not just one. There's got to be a way out of here. There simply has to be!
Evangeline limped stiffly across the room and retrieved her discarded shift from the floor. One of the straps was torn, but remaining naked didn't seem like a good idea to her at the moment. Shivering with cold and the attack on her nervous system she attempted to tie the torn ends of the strap together. When she finally succeeded, she slipped it back over her head. Remus had also reclaimed his pants and robe. He turned and offered his shirt to her. "It's pretty cold in here, Evangeline, that shift won't keep you very warm. It's not much, but this shirt should help some."
Grateful for his kindness, she took the shirt and slipped it on. Then together they began to examine their prison carefully. It was a one room, two story, tower with rough and thick stonewalls. The only door was locked and warded. Small slits in the stone at several places around the tower, high up on the walls, let in light, but they were much too small to give any hope of escape. After a half hour of examining everything they could reach, it had become obvious that getting out of here would not be easy…if even possible. They looked at the clock, almost 5 o'clock, just about three hours left.
