TW : self harm / blood

The next morning

*knock knock*

Adriana groaned and rolled over, Merci and Blizzard beginning to bark at whatever or whomever was on the other side of the door. "I'm coming." she groggily said. She rolled off her bed and stood up. Before she went to open the door, she grabbed a pair of shorts and slipped them on.

Unlocking her door and opening it to the short blonde hair'd Ravenclaw. "Morning Luna. Anything you need?" Adriana asked, "You never come to the dungeons."

"The crown is gone."

Oh thank heavens, Adriana said to herself. "It- Its fine, really. It's not that big of a deal."

Luna nodded and waved to Merci and Blizzard before leaving. Adriana sighed and closed the door. She was relieved that Luna lost the crown. Remember the words her mother said in her dream ran through her head the whole night before.

Adriana turned around and saw that her bed was made, though a few seconds ago it wasn't. She furrowed her brows and began walking towards her bed. She lifted up her blanket and there it was.

The mother fucking crown.

Adriana stumbled back and started to breath heavily, "You've gotta be kidding me." she whispered.

"Adriana?!" Pansy said from outside her dorm, "Are you alright?"

"Y-yeah!" she replied, standing up.

"I'm coming in."

"No you're not—"

Pansy opened her door and walked in, "Are you sure you're okay? You look like you just saw a ghost— Oh my god." she said as she looked down at her arm. The bandages got ruined through the night and eventually came off, and the shirt Adriana had on was short sleeved.

Her mark visible.

"So it's true.." she said breathlessly, "That's why you were wearing that bandage around it."

Adriana put her arms behind her back as she stared into Pansys eyes, "Who told you?"

"Draco."

The redhead nodded and pursed her lips. "Besides— This mark," she began to speak, "I'm fine. Pansy I'm fine."

Laila then walked in. She was a mess, like she had just woken up. "Sorry, I heard someone fall but I was too lazy to get up at first. Then I realized it was you so I came— Oh that's a pretty crown." she smiled, her expression changing instantly.
Adriana groaned and leaned against her wall. "Try it on." Laila said, "It'll look nice."

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"I just can't."

Laila shrugged and walked over to her, holding the crown out to her. Before Adriana could grab it, Laila quickly jerked her arm away and placed the crown on Adriana's head.

She laughed until she saw what the crown began to do to Adriana.

Her eyes went black, demons and other dark figures emerged from the ground. Pansy and Laila were both knocked back by one of the creatures.

Adriana began to float, laughing like a complete maniac. "I told you, I couldn't." her soft tone came out. "But you chose not to listen!" she said in a demonic growl. Her door slammed shut, startling the two girls. One of the demons inched closer and closer to the girls.

"Stop" she said quietly to herself. She let herself down slowly as the figures went away. Adriana quickly took off the crown and threw it across the room. Pansy and Laila both looked at each other before running towards Adriana.

"I'm sorry." Laila said.

Adriana only hummed in response. She could see the crown still from where she stood, her heart on beating faster.

What a nightmare.

One hour later.

Adriana sat in her bed, staring at the crown that was still on the floor. She hasn't touched it since she threw it. Laila and Pansy went to eat breakfast and then spend the rest of their days in their room.

As of right now, she wanted to feel something. Anything.

But pain is the one thing she really wanted to feel.

She leaned over to her nightstand and opened the drawer, pulling out one of the blades in it. Adriana hummed a tune to herself as she twirled the blade between her fingers. She then held it up right and pressed it against her wrist, not cutting it yet.

She toyed with the blade against her wrist, sliding the edge up and down before piercing it into her skin, right where the head of the dark mark laid. Small drops of blood dripped from her wrist and onto her bed.

She only smiled as the blood fell onto the bed.

*knock knock*

Adriana snapped her eyes up at the door and threw her blade back in her drawer before slamming it shut. She stared at the cut she made, it was small, but deep. She cleared her throat before yelling "Coming!"

The redhead went to the restroom and quickly cleaned to blood off her arm. Having no bandages in her room, she couldn't cover it, and using a shirt would be too obvious.

She finally grew the courage to answer the door. Opening it, she met with that tall, brown headed boy.

Cedric.

Adriana put her injured arm behind her back and smile, "Did you finally grow the balls to tell me why you started it?"

"I found out about the mark." he blurted out.

"Oh." she said quietly, squeezing her fists, "Well— Does it make you hate me?"

Cedric didn't respond to her question. He just wrapped his arms around her, tightly.

"I could never hate you."

She cleared her throat and invited him in. His eyes measured her room before landing on the blood that was on her bed. "We don't talk about that Cedric— Just...don't ask." He nodded. Adriana sighed and walked over to her bed. She felt needy. She wanted to feel love.

Pleasure.

Passion.

And Cedric,

Wanted the same.
