Fighting Alone [A Scorose Fanfic]

Chapter 9: Rose

I had visions every night, but today was the worst. I saw Scorp being killed before my eyes. Him burning in flames, screaming in agony. My father standing there with an evil glint in his eye. I sat up. My voice was strained. So I must have been screaming. I broke down and started sobbing. After a while, I couldn't take it. I collapsed and sat in silence.

After some time, I heard the door creak. My father's figure started to materialize in front of me.

"GET OUT YOU MONSTER. YOU SCUM, FILTHY PIECE OF FLESH!" I screamed.

I got up and slammed the door on him, that savage. I knew that was harsh, but had no remorse. He had killed my other half. He was no longer my father. He was a biological parent. We were just related by blood. At that moment I severed all ties with him. Just then I heard a knock at the door. "Rose? It's Hugo. Are-Are you okay?"

"Yeah."

"Can I come in?" I debated this. But I gave in.

"Come in, Hugo. And close the door." It was close to midnight, but everyone seemed awake. I could feel my father's shock. Hugo's compassion. My mother comforting my father. Hugo and I just lay down, seeking comfort in each other's company. I knew I would never marry. My brother and I would take care of this place. Start a good relationship with the Malfoys. And most of all, try to build relations between zombies and humans. Scorp and I were proof that it would work. I might not all work, but we could try, for Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy.
