As Cold As It Gets - Harry Styles AU

Chapter Four~Flashback Part Three

17th of May 1308. - Clearwatter, England

Edward was surly very surprised at the way Miss Avery was talking, since he always knew her as a nice and quiet respectful woman. The way she talked to his angel that now he knew the name of, was very disrespectful and obviously very upsetting for Sapphire. As the beautiful lady hurried up the long staircase, Edward as the nice gentleman that he is, ran after her leaving Sethius behind him, who was still gazing at Avery.

Sapphire ran up the staircase trying to contain her anger in front of so many people. She went into her room and slammed the door behind her almost breaking the door from all the anger rising inside her. As she looked in the mirror she saw her eyes. They were dark and the veins were popping out on the skin around them. Right now she felt that she needed to get rid of this anger somehow, on something or someone. The first thing she saw was a very expensive French perfume, so she took it and threw it against the wall screaming in rage. Her hands were curling around the edges of her wooden table with a mirror attached to it looking at herself. Slowly as her anger rose she felt the table slowly cracking from her grip on it resulting in the table half breaking in the middle and that's when she heard a noise outside her room making her grip loosen.

As Edward made his way onto the second floor of the big house, he started looking around in the hallway, trying to find Sapphire. He didn't want to make his family look bad because he was in the part of the house he was not suppose to be in, but he had to find his beauty who he thought was crying somewhere alone, so he proceeded along the long hallway.

Edward kept walking along the long wide hallway trying to hear Sapphire since he didn't know which door led to her room. As he was walking he felt this unnerving feeling making his chest tighten, as if his body and mind were warning him to turn around, but he couldn't leave without making sure she was alright.

As he got to the end of the first hallway he saw an entire wall covered with a big blood red curtain. His curiosity got the better of him and he moved the curtain revealing a wall with some kind of a family tree. He looked over it and saw that it was the 'Dark' family tree. He looked at all the painting and names and came to the last generation of the family. Ten names. He looked at them one by one. A.D with a painting of a man that looks a lot like Adelardus except it couldn't be him since this person was born 1010. Edward looked further down and saw one burned painting with no name and some unfamiliar names like - Nicklaus Dark, Freya Dark, Rebecca Dark, Cole Dark, Elijah Dark and then he gasped and the last two names. Sethius Dark and Sapphire Dark with the paintings that look exactly like the young lad he just met and the beautiful angel he was now looking for. It wouldn't be strange except that these two people on the wall were born in 1042.

He swallowed hard as he looked at her painting. It looked too much like his Sapphire. 'But that was impossible' Edward thought shaking his head. As he was about to cover the wall back up and door to his left opened too fast for him to react before the voice spoke. "What are you doing here?" her voice spoke angrily as she saw the wall and him looking at it.
As he faced her he saw her eyes and they looked almost black. She looked very angry and Edward felt as if he added to that anger by snooping. "I was...well just-" He started but stumbled on his words making her glare at him.

"Just what Mr. Styles? Snooping? Poking your nose where it does so obviously not belong?" Sapphire said firmly looking between Edward and her family tree. The tree that she was on. She knew he saw the year it says she was born in. She was even angrier than before if that was even possible. First, because he is probably suspicious about the family tree he had just seen and secondly, she hates that tree because it only reminds her of all the people she lost because of her filthy father. "I was just worried about you Miss. I, I'm very sorry if it looked like I was poking my nose where it does not belong, I didn't mean to upset you."Edward spoke surprising Sapphire. Nobody could ever say more than a word while she was glaring at them. They were all scared of her, but him, he spoke even though she could tell he felt not so much scared as uneasy. She smirked and nodded her head, closing the curtain, covering the family tree back up.
