The Devil's Daughter | D.M

22 - Together

My head was throbbing an ache coming from my mark but it wasn't the ache when father called it was an actual pain. She hissed in pain as she sat up and opened her eyes slowly. I was trying to process everything or an explanation why i was in bed with an aching body.

My vision was blurry but soon regained its normal sight. I looked around and saw i wasn't in my dorm but in an unfamiliar room. I sat up from the couch-bed i was on looking around.

That's when i noticed a figure on a couch chair. His blonde hair was messy he looked tired. There was a slight cut on his cheek that hadn't been treated. His eyebrows furrowed together. His whole appearance looked like he had been a war.

That's when it hit me, that's when i remembered. I had tried to kill him. I scrambled to my feet quickly but they tangled together making me trip over a small table.

Draco quickly shot up from his sleep looking at me. I looked away regaining my balance.

" You can't leave it's almost sun rise Filch is up by now" He said as he came closer to me trying to bring me back to the couch.

" Don't come near me, i'm not safe for you please let me go" I said as he grabbed my arm.

His face didn't have that one cut on his cheek but one on his lip and brow bone. I was the cause of that.

" Im safe with you Cassiopeia i know you wouldn't hurt me intentionally" He gently caressed my cheek.

" I tried killing you how is that being safe. I told you to leave but you always have to be so stubborn" I complained as i push myself away and put some distance between us.

" But you didn't kill me if you were bad you would've killed me" He insisted

" Why can't you just give up on me Draco you have enough with this task than to deal with a person like me. I'm damaged beyond repare" I sighed into his hand.

He did something very sudden that i wasn't prepared for. He put his arms around me tightly as his head rested on the top of my head. My arms stayed at my side unsure of what to do. I gave in and brought my hands up and slightly rubbed his back up and down.

I was never used to affection, it annoyed me really. I was a very affectionate person before everything happened but now i can't seem to give someone a hug or a small gesture on my own. I had never hugged Leo nor my father. God forbade he would kill me if i ever did such thing.

" We both are. If you are a monster than so am i" He said as he slide his hand along my hair relaxing my muscles.

" I'll never correspond to you the way you want Draco"

" I know but i have faith that one day you can. I hated you Cassiopeia never because i didn't like you, it was actually the opposite. You are superior, everyone admired you when you came back and that made me feel useless again. I've always liked having control and ordering around but you without knowing took that place. I didn't want people to think that i'd let myself get beat by a girl but now i don't care. You intimidated me honestly but i had a reputation to uphold" He said truthfully as he held me like there was no tomorrow.

" Why the change now ?" I asked he said he had a reputation to uphold and wanted to be better than me why was he like this with me now.

" Because we are both the same, both as fucked. Who knows if we'll make it tomorrow why should i continue putting up a facade of fake hate with you when i know truly deep down what i really feel." He kissed the top of my head gently.

I wish i could say the same i wish i could tell him that i fancied him too. That we could both start fresh from step 1. That wasn't possible what he made me feel was small i needed something to break the entire wall around my heart so i could tell him the same.

" I know you won't be able to like me the way i like you but i want to try give me a try please Cassiopeia i need you now more than ever, more than i ever thought i'd need you" He pleaded as he finally pulled away but kept our foreheads touching.

" I don't know how to do that" I said truthfully

" Me either but we could try together, yeah?" The worry in his eyes was there, he worried that i would turn my back on him like i always do.

" Okay but don't expect much from me i seriously feel the minimum and that's on rare occasions" I warned him.

His mouth turned into a small smile as he kissed my forehead repeating ' thank you' over and over again.

We were both fucked up in the most possible way but that's what brought us together. We share so many differences but just as many similarities. Maybe he'll finally help me feel, he'll be the person the prophecy said could break the curse. I only hoped it was him, if it wasn't him then it was no one. He was the only person willing not to give up on me just yet.

" Let's get matching tattoos" I said out the blue which he responded with a confused face.

" What's a tattoo" I rolled my eyes i had forgot that was muggle stuff.

I didn't necessarily like muggles but some of their inventions were cool as fuck.

" Don't matter let's go" I grabbed his hand yanking him out the room towards my dormitory when we could apperate.

We ran across the corridors trying not to get caught as we finally made it to the dungeons.

We rushed up the girls dormitory and entered mine. I grabbed my wand and apperated us to muggle London to get matching tattoos.

I've been planning for them to get matching tattoos for the longest so next chapter will be the details about that
