We stood in front of a gate which was decorated with lots of snakes. It reminded me a bit of the scriptorium door at Hogwarts.
Ominis snorted and began to speak to the snakes in Parseltongue. He hated to speak Parseltongue, but he was the only Parseltongue of us.
"There's no turning back now. They know. But they won't just attack us.", Ominis said softly and turned even paler than he was anyway.
The gate opened and we entered. Ominis continued to speak Parseltongue, and I saw a plethora of large snakes moving around the property. A few of them approached us. Garreth stepped in front of me, reaching out to protect me, but the snakes moved to Ominis.
"Don't worry, these are old friends of mine," he said softly as the snakes slithered up his body. He talked to them in Parseltongue.
"It's just my father and Perilian there," he said quietly, "but with just these two, we'll have more than enough to do."
Most of the snakes ignored us while the others lingered at Ominis.
"Be careful. My father and my brother have some snakes too. One more poisonous than the other."
We slowly walked towards the house. It was scary. The whole house was gloomy and Garreth seemed to be overwhelmed by all the darkness.
"I didn't know that not only people but also objects could be filled with darkness.", he whispered.
We walked through the house and heard nothing but our own footsteps and the hissing of the snakes. We went to a large room on the first floor. There was nothing in this room but a few candles and two armchairs that were turned towards the windows.
"After more than ten years, you grace us again with your presence. Nice. You missed the death of your mother. She was really sad." Said the rough voice that we already knew from Ominis memories.
"She would certainly be disappointed if she knew that you still associate with half-bloods and blood traitors," he said, turning to face us.
He looked a lot like Ominis, but he was much older than I assumed. He must have been in his mid 60's. But his presence scared me.
"And Sebastian Sallow is free again? Interesting. Well, how was Azkaban?" asked Perilian and turned to us. I looked at Sebastian that he would have liked to rage out.
"It was a nice holiday, thank you for making this possible for me, dear Perilian.", Sebastian said, while his voice was unexpectedly soft.
"Why? Why did you do that? Why did you murder my family?" I asked quietly.
"That asks of all people, the French family butcher? Quite simply. Your blood is almost as valuable as ours. That's why you should marry Ominis. Unfortunately, your parents didn't want that, and Ominis chose to stick with the dirty Sallow girl instead of honoring his family. And what we did with the Lewis was just punishment for turning down our friendly offer. But now that you're here, we can catch up," said Ominis father.
Suddenly the whole room went black and I felt my body fall to the floor.
Oh no, please no, I thought to myself and tried to move, but my body didn't obey me anymore.
Suddenly it got light again and I saw that the others were also lying on the ground.
Oh no, no, no, please no. We were all paralyzed. Perilian walked up to us and sat the other four against a wall so they could face him. In the end, he grabbed my body. But he didn't line me up, instead he put me down on the floor in the middle of the room.
"Father, I take the liberty, yes? If she doesn't voluntarily give our dear Ominis a couple of children with the blood of two such powerful magicians, then I'll just force her to do it.", he said and knelt over me.
LET ME GO!!! I tried to scream but my mouth stayed silent.
"The fear and disgust in your eyes is truly adorable, Caelie dear," Perilian said softly as he ripped my blouse and pants open.
He turned my head to face the others. "I want everyone involved to be able to enjoy the show," he said, and laughed out loud.
I could feel him trying to penetrate me. NO, I yelled inwardly. It hurt so badly, but he didn't care. Quite the opposite. He laughed. "Well, if you don't want to, you'll bleed, you stubborn beast. You don't have a choice anyway."
All I could feel was pain. I couldn't close my eyes. Perilian thrust into me over and over again. Everything burned like fire, but he didn't let go. Over and over again, he hit me in the face with his fist. I bled. A tear ran down my face and fell on the floor.
I caught Perilian's scent. Under different circumstances, I probably would have found the smell appealing. It reminded me a bit of moss. But right now I was just disgusted by it.
I tried to concentrate on the stone walls and count the stones to distract myself. I looked at the gaps between the stones. I watched it progress but couldn't focus because of the constant movement of my body. As soon as I can move again, you die, Perilian. I will kill you.
I tried non-verbally and without a wand to do magic. I've never been good at non-verbal magic and wandless magic I've never tried, but I was just hoping it would work somehow. That, too, was something that took my mind off the excruciating pain.
Perilian groaned loudly and I felt that he had come inside me. He turned my head towards him and gave me a sardonic smile. "Believe me, dear Caelie. That wasn't the last insemination you're going to experience today."
He released me for a moment and stood up. "Father, do you want to have a go too?" he asked casually. "No thanks, I don't want to hang around where blood traitors and half-bloods have been up to mischief. But have fun, son.", he said relaxed and lit a cigar.
Perilian knelt over me again and smiled, "Well, that leaves more fun for me."
I wanted to scream, I wanted to run, but first and foremost I wanted to kill him. As Perilian kept raping me over and over again, suddenly there was a blindingly bright light. My eyes hurt. It came from our group. Garreth? I heard his voice shout "Finite" several times, and suddenly I was able to move again.
Garreth came running and kicked Perilian to the ground with a deft kick in the head. I saw that Ominis father got up and started casting spells on us.
"I'm so sorry, Caelie. There was nothing I could do." Garreth said quietly and I could see he was crying as he helped me to my feet.
Perilian laughed out loud, "Oh Weasley, amazing that you were able to pull yourself out of this. It's too late anyway."
Sebastian, Anne and Ominis took up the fight while Garreth gave me a healing potion and repaired my clothes. I felt so gross. I felt Perilian's cum spill out of me and vomited on the spot. Garreth looked pretty desperate and gave me another healing potion.
Anne and Ominis fell to the ground for a moment. They both cried out in pain as they writhed on the floor. Apparently they were experiencing the Cruciatus Curse. Garreth ran over to Sebastian, who was now outnumbered. I pulled out my wand. My hand was shaking.
My body was still in a state of emergency. I looked at Perilian. I wanted to see him dead. I ran and supported Garreth and Sebastian while Ominis and Anne started fighting again.
"Caelie, I hope you are already looking forward to our child," cried Perilian, laughing aloud.
"As if I were bearing your child, Perilian. I'd rather kill myself, you fucking bastard!", I shouted in anger.
"Well, in that case, I can do the job for you," laughed Perilian, as I suddenly saw a blue beam of light coming towards me.
In a split second I was pushed sideways and landed with my head on the cold stone floor.
"GARRETH! NO!", I heard Sebastian scream behind me as he kept up the fight with Perilian.
Tears began to well up in my eyes. I didn't want to turn around. I had an anticipation of what I would see. And I was terrified of it.
"Caelie. I love you.", I heard Garreth croak. I turned around. Garreth smiled affectionately at me and vomited a gush of blood. I panicked and rummaged through his bag.
"Garreth, lie still. I'm looking for cures." I screamed in panic.
"You don't need to search. I feel that my insides are too badly wounded.", he said softly. I screamed and cried. "Everything is fine, Caelie. You have Sebastian. I've had... you long enough... alone. I... have achieved everything I... ever wanted to achieve."
"Garreth, you can't die, do you hear? Garreth, I need you. We need you. The children need their daddy," I said, crying.
I poured all the healing potions into his mouth one by one and cast a number of healing spells while crying in panic.
But the bleeding kept getting heavier and Garreth was getting weaker and weaker. Nobody could help me. Sebastian, Anne and Ominis were totally occupied fending off the other two Gaunts.
"Don't cry, sweet Caelie. We will meet again... I love you and our children so much. Take good care of each other." He whispered while blood continued to trickle from his mouth.
"Kiss me... please," he said quietly. i kissed him "Garreth, please. Don't do this. Please don't leave me. Please. Please stay with me. Please. Garreth, please don't die. Please stay with me," I pleaded.
He smiled lovingly at me. A moment later his head tipped sideways and the life drained from his beautiful green and once bright eyes.
He was dead.
