A/n: I just felt the need to say this, after what recently happened. Do Not; I repeat Do Not copy off of my fic. I can deal with similar, but re-writing things word for word is just plain copying. Don't do it. You will regret it. Thank you for your undivided attention; you may proceed to read the fanfic now.
Broken Wings
Chapter 18: Falling Apart
By: Midnight Walker
Draco stood under the refreshing water of the shower, in the boys dorm. His stomach turned violently at the thought of having to tell Asyah that he cheated on her. She would surely not react well to this startle ling news. His thoughts began to drift toward two summers ago, when he was 14.
Flashback...
His family was visiting a fellow death eater family in Spain, by the last name Ramirez. They had arrived in the late afternoon, and Paola Ramirez was presenting dinner. The Ramirez family home was quite impressive; it was built on the ocean shore over looking the Atlantic Ocean. The home had 67 rooms in all, not including the torture chambers and the many dungeons. They had sat in the tea room, autumns' parents and his parents catching up and talking about the dark lord. Needless to say when Draco first saw autumn he was blown away. She walked in the tea room from the patio outside, wearing and silky, tight gold, camisole. It was very form fitting so it showed off curves that appeared her to be older than what she was.
She also wore a white mini-skirt, and gold wrap around sandal stiletto heels. Her blonde hair was curled and the top half was pulled into a pony tail, while the bottom half flowed down her back. Her light brown eyes were dusted with gold eye shadow and her lips shined; all in all she was beautiful. Almost like a Spanish goddess. She came in the sunlight room and sat on her fathers' lap. He kissed her head and she laid her blonde head on his chest.
Autumn's mother and father, Eduardo and Paola, were one of those dark families like the malfoy's. Their lineage stretches as far back as the Snape's; the oldest pure blood family. They had been death eaters since the age of 16, but trained since the age of eight. They were a family of assassins; dangerous assassins. They have worked for countless dark wizards. But after the dark lord's fall due to Harry potter, they remained training but disappeared from the wizarding world. Draco drowned out the useless chatting until he heard his name.
"Autumn, why don't you give Draco a tour of the house?" said her mother Paola. It was obvious that autumn took after her mother, because they looked like sisters. She shared no facial features with her father, but Draco had heard from his parents, that when she fought, his sadistic nature comes to the surface.
"Sure mother. Come on Draco, I'll show you around, but try to keep up will you?" she smirked and walked away toward the patio outside. Draco followed. They soon were back in the house, standing in a gigantic entrance hall. The walls were covered in beautiful paintings from all around the world. The floors were black marble and the walls were a rich gold. The furniture was gold with black accents, and there was a huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling. All in all the room gave off a soft glow that would calm anyone. "This is one of my favorite rooms in this house because it feels so serene and pure; not tainted by evil that resides in this house." She said her back to him. She stood in the middle of the room under the chandelier, the soft light making her tan skin glow.
Draco was shocked by her words but did not display it. He felt the same way, but what could he do about it? To become a death eater was his destiny; it was carved in stone and could not be eroded away by even the crushing waves of the Atlantic Ocean. He kept his face emotionless and said nothing; it could cost him a beating he did not want.
She soon began walking again this time up the grand black marble staircase, into a crimson hallway. "This is my wing of the house, as you can see my favorite color is blood red." She said running her hands along the blood colored walls. Draco caught something sadistic and implying in her words, but dismissed the thought. "Come on I'll show you my room." Draco raised his eyebrow suggestively and she smiled and winked at him. They walked along the corridor until they reached double cherry oak doors. Autumn pushed them open and was immediately thrown into a gothic fantasy. Everything was black and red. Her bed was huge and had silk red and black covers and pillows. There were red and black sheer curtains hanging from the ceiling to forming a canopy. There were glass doors on either side of her bed leading to balcony's that overlooked the ocean. The ocean breeze drifted into the room on the warm breeze.
Draco was still looking around when he felt her hand slide over his back and on to his chest. "You know I have liked you since I first saw you earlier today." She said seductively. She was suddenly in front of him and was pushed up against him. Draco knew he could not resist her for long; she knew how to push ALL of his buttons. "Come on I know you like me Draco, admit it and stop torturing yourself." She said unbuttoning his shirt and caressing his rock hard chest.
In that instant he crushed her soft lips to his in a rough kiss. Soon they were ripping there clothes off like demented animals. Soon they made there way to the bed and began the dance of love. After that the pair had soon began to date; he would floo to her home and they would walk along the sandy shore, just talking. It was too good be true and soon their relationship soon ended, by way of her betrayal. She had slept with someone else after a wild night at a night club. Thought she had apologized and begged for his forgiveness, he had not forgiven her; once his trust was broken, there was no repairing it.
That was around Halloween of his 5th year at Hogwarts. He just went on with life as usual erasing autumn from his mind, like she never entered his mind.
End Flashback
Draco shook the thought of autumn from his mind and climbed out of the shower and dried himself off. He dressed in baggy blue jeans a loose fitting black t-shirt, and black boots. He ran a shaky hand through his blonde hair, making him even more irresistible than before. He then walked out of the boy's dorm ready to tell the girl of his dreams that he cheated on her and broke her trust.
------------------------------------------------
Asyah sat in the back of the library, surrounded in ancient, moldy texts about vampire history. Last night she had felt as if she was thrown in eternal darkness for a short period of time, and then was thrown back into her body. It was the weirdest feeling she had ever experienced. But what was strange of all was the name that clearly rung out in her mind; Amunet. She had heard the name before, but could not place the source.
She picked up a book and blew the dust off the front cover; bad idea. The dust only blew in her face, causing her to cough and her eyes to water. After she had recovered, she opened the book titled Famous Vampires: Here and Now by olidhia buckham. Asyah skimmed through the book looking for the name Amunet. Finally she found it near the back of the book; the book went from the most recent to the least recent. Asyah looked down at the page and began to read, immediately absorbed in the dusty text.
Amunet: the most feared ruler since Merlin himself.
Amunet Keket's exact date of birth is unknown, but we do know she was born a vampire. She was born into a wealthy Egyptian vampiric family. Her parents were unknown as well, but were very powerful and held a high place in society. Amunet had two little sisters named Layla and Auset. All three were known for their beauty, but the men came in hordes to see Amunet. Her beauty was unlike any other; men described her as an exotic beauty.
Soon tragedy struck Amunet's family. A fire ravaged their estate, tearing through every room. Amunet was out in the fields away from the estate therefore not knowing. Her parents and sisters perished in the blaze, most likely dieing in there sleep, since it was well after the moon had risen. It was documented that now as no family and no one to care for her she became an outcast, leaving the small town where she was born and raised. No one knows of where she went after the fire, but she soon emerged as the Queen of Shadows. Fearing her strength, none opposed her and all bowed down to her rule.
After just three months of emerging as the Queen of Darkness, Amunet now controlled all of Egypt. Her army contained thousands of vampires, werewolves, centaurs, Dementors, and many other dark creatures. It was rumored that she had Cerberus, the guardian of the underworld, as her pet and fed it human corpses after she drank them dry.
Amunet soon found a vampire mate by the name of Anubis. They ruled over Egypt hand in hand until one woman rose up to face her and put an end to her evil reign. She was laughed at and ridiculed, until she portrayed an extraordinary amount of power none believed she possessed. Soon a great battle was fought between the strange woman and Amunet. The battle lasted three days and three nights. Finally on rising of the fourth day the powerful woman sealed Amunet and Anubis's body in stone before hiding them in a tomb. The tomb's location is unknown still to this day. After the age of darkness passed, everyone rejoiced. Her army disappeared and Egypt was released from their grip. We still do not know the name of the woman who defeated Amunet.
'Wow', Thought asyah. To think that was actually was someone's life was amazing. She closed the book and laid it down on the table, her hand resting on it dusty cover. She then decided she needed a breath of fresh air; this musty, dank library was getting to her. She stood and put all the books back and walked out the library. She saw few students as they were all outside enjoying the last of the weather.
The sun was beamed down on Hogwarts ground giving it a surreal look. Everyone was lounging on the grass with their friends talking. Asyah felt a pang in her heart but pushed it away annoyingly. 'They are the one's who pushed me away. I don't need their friendship.' She thought angrily causing a frown to appear on her face. She leaned against the cool stone near the doors and tilted her head toward the sun.
She heard footsteps approach her and brought her face from the sun's rays to look in the sorrowful eyes of her boyfriend. She reached out a hand to touch his face but her grabbed it and pushed it away. "What's wrong?" she asked her voice full of concern and worry. Had she done something or said something and did not realize it?
"Asyah I need to tell you something…you're not going to like it at all." He said turning to look her in the eye. He loved her so much, till the point it hurt. This news shattered him as it would shatter her. "You see I was kinda with another girl…" he trailed off when he felt her intense gaze on him. As she spoke her voice was laced with an underlining anger.
"What do you mean; you were kinda with another girl? Meaning you cheated on me? Draco look at me." She reached out and grabbed his chin, forced silver to meet honey brown. His eyes were heavy with sorrow and remorse; he was silently begging forgiveness. It would not be granted. "Who did you sleep with?" she said not letting go of his chin, and not letting his gaze to leave hers.
"Autumn." He said in a whisper. So that was why she was smiling at her! Asyah felt so betrayed and hurt. Once again she had set herself up for pain. It seemed like she had a bright neon sign above her head saying, 'Pain; attack here!' Asyah let go of his chin and said nothing. She merely turned and walked away from him. She walked back inside of Hogwarts and down to the dungeons. She walked to professor Snape's office and knocked twice. He told her to enter. She opened the door and sat down in front of him as her graded papers; immediately he knew something was wrong.
Her eyes held a faraway look in them and she looked entirely too calm. Severus Snape looked across the desk at the girl he considered his daughter. He knew he would do anything for her, and cared for her deeply.
"Asyah, what's wrong?" he asked his deep baritone bringing her out of her thoughts. She looked at him with sorrowful eyes. She ran a pale hand through her hair and sighed.
"He cheated on me. He said he loved me but he cheated on me. I hate him." She said tears finally spilled onto her pale cheeks. She wiped at them furiously, her aura starting to fill the small room. Severus knew that if he continued to let her power build, it wouldn't be good for either of them. He rushed from around his desk and held her in his arms, rocking her back and forth. He smoothed down her hair, and rubbed her back until she calmed down. "Im sorry for losing control like that." She said softly. She kept her head on his chest and closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling of being held by the man she considered her father.
"There is no need for you to apologize, asyah. You were feeling strong emotions, and your power reacted to them." He said his deep voice comforting her. She said nothing as he held her. 'This must be what it feels like to have a father…' she thought sadly. How she wished she had a father like him. They laid there for who knows how long, but both were content with being with each other.
--------------------------------------------------------
"Adrick you continue to test my patience." Said the dark lord. He sat upon his throne-like chair overlooking his supporters. There were in two lines and there head were bowed. A young boy sat in front of him bowed down at his feet.
"I am sorry my lord." He mumbled obviously frightened. The dark lord rolled his eyes and overlooked him to a figure standing by his side. The dark lord held autumn in high esteem. He didn't have to worry about her failing him on a mission. She never let her emotions get in the way and was reliable. To prove this point, she just broke up Draco and his girlfriend, asyah. All he had to do was make the girl his. She would be the queen of darkness, and would rule by his side. Yes she would be his.
"You are dismissed…except asyah." He said a smirk on his face. He changed his body to resemble his teenage self for his plan to work. She walked in front of him and bowed.
"Yes my lord?" she said. Her soft voice rang out in the huge room, echoing off the stone walls. He rose of his throne a held his hand out to her.
"Come." He said in a less commanding tone. She rose up into a standing position and took his hand gingerly. He grasped her hand and led her out of the huge meeting room, into a stone corridor lit with torches. He said nothing to her as he led her along the corridor. Soon they came to a wooden door and he pushed it open to reveal a beautiful garden full of black roses. The moon bathed the garden in it milky glow, giving it a surreal look. Asyah just stared and forgot she was standing with the most feared ruler of all time.
She stepped forward and held a rose delicately in her pale hands. The dark lord just watched amused by her reaction to a moonlit garden. He brushed a strand of black hair back from her face; her honey brown eyes locked his hazel ones. She stared at him until he caressed her face with his cold hand. She stood up fully from her hunched over position, and turned to face him fully.
His arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her to his body. His hand brushed back her hair and he lowered his mouth so he could speak into her ear. "Asyah you have been hurt by the one you love; let me heal your pain. I can help you exact revenge against him for hurting you." he felt he breath quicken. "You want power, lots of power. Let me help you on your way to greatness. Help me to raise a family and build an empire." He said his warm breath tickle ling her ear. He pulled back to look in her honey brown eyes with his hazel ones.
She smiled at his offer. 'Why not take it? There is nothing here in this world holding me to it. All I have ever experienced is hurt and pain and im sick of it.' She thought. She looked into his eyes and nodded her head. "Yes I will help you rid the earth of those that are unworthy." She said to him. "But only if you let me kill all those who have hurt me." She said her voice turning cold as ice, making even the dark lord shiver. He nodded his head at her looking at his future wife and mother of his children. Finally he would have an heir…
A/n: Well what did you kiddies think? I know it's a little freaky that asyah and moldy wart are getting together, but just think of him in his teenage form, k? It's a little less creepy. shivers I hope you like the name of our new friend! It's Egyptian I spent an hour looking it up all by myself! go me! Amunet means Mythical goddess. And her last name Keket is a first name but I put it as a last name, because I can. It means a goddess of darkness.
