Chapter 10
He ran to the window but saw nothing. He got some dry clothes and went to the bathroom to change. It worried him over who screamed. He could not tell if the scream came for in or outdoors. As he came into the boy's dorm he saw something move. The pain from the last time came back but he still walked further.
It was Lucius, though this time there was no love being shared. He was beating Erika. He pushed her up against the wall, choking her, yelling at her as she cried and begged for forgiveness.
"Leave her alone!" Severus yelled as he ran up to save her. Lucius just grinned and hit her harder and harder.
"Stay out of our business." He said throwing Severus away. Severus struck back punching him in the face, making blood be drawn. But then it went all black as he hit the wall.
He woke up some time later, against the wall. In the light around him he could see her, curled up on the floor unconscious. Severus stumbled to her, trying so desperately to wake her. Her body was bruised, cut, and tear and blood stained.
He had never been considered strong, but he was able to pick her up and carry her to his bed. As she woke up he comforted her, as she cried he understood what he had not seen. After she stopped crying she laid still in his arms.
"Im going to be pregnant by the end of this school year........."She said miserably. He could sense the fear and despair in that sentence. He did not know if Lucius was still in the building.
When Severus asked another Slytherin they replied that he ran out in a hurry. She slept with him again that night. The next afternoon a teacher requested for Erika. He waited outside the office for about forty-five minutes before the door opened and he saw Erika walk out, crying with Lucius linked to her arm.
"Good news Severus, you don't have to defend her anymore." He said kissing her head and leaving. She folded her arms against her chest as she cried, dreading to tell him what happened.
"Erika what happened? What does he mean?"
"Im marrying him........" She said, beginning to sob. She ran into his arms. Marriage to him would be her death. Her death would be his.
She went missing for a week, but then on the last Friday before classes started he found her talking to a girl in the library. Lily Evans, crush of one of his enemies. He became very cold and walked over to Erika.
"Come on Erika, let's go for a walk." He said as both of them looked up.
"Thanks a lot Lily, I really appreciate you listening." Erika said. Lily just smiled.
He took her hand as they walked
"Why were you gone for so long?" He asked.
"I had to try on my wedding dress."
"But not for a whole week. What happened?"
She sighed.
"Planned the wedding and......well.......that guest I met claimed my child."
He was shocked.
"When did you find out you were pregnant?"
"Two days before the ceremony. I felt so different one night when he ehm...........took me on the bed. I just........knew."
Lucius was not there that night so Erika and Severus ate dinner in the kitchen and went to bed together. He felt comfort in knowing she was safe beside him. He caressed her abdomen, knowing there was life inside of it, life he wished he created with her. Life not meant for evil. He closed his eyes..............and dreamed.
