The Girl From My Past {h.s. au} #wattys2018

Chapter 20

"Are you sure about this, princess?" Harry asked, gripping my hands with concern.

Here I was, snuggled up in my bed. Everyone's eyes were on me. Edna, Louis, Niall, Liam, and Zayn.

Edward and Darcy were downstairs asleep. The house was silent. So silent, that I could clearly hear myself blink.

I swallowed hard, nodding. I was about to fall into a deep sleep that may be impossible to get out of.

"Remember, if you start to panic, you can come back. Don't get in too deep or you could loose all connection with the real world." Zayn whispered darkly, making me nod.

"I'm ready." I whispered, my voice sounded hoarse and dry.

Harry gently covered my eyes with a sleeping mask. I should also mention that I was tied- yes, tied to the bed. Only because I've been known to try fighting in my sleep.

My breathing quickened as I felt myself drifting off to sleep. Edna was putting a spell over me. My hands balled up into fists as my muscles loosened reluctantly.

Suddenly, everything went silent. I could no longer feel Harry's comforting warmth beside me.

I shakily moved my hand up, ripping the mask away from my eyes. I was no longer tied down or even on a bed.

I was laying down on the ground. The pure white, water filled ground. I slowly stood to my feet, the water coming just to my ankles.

I slowly made my way around the bright yet eerie room. My breathing became shallow as I heard a voice echo off the walls.

"Princess? Are you alright?" It was Harry.

I remember Zayn telling me that I could still hear them while I was asleep so that I could communicate with them.

"Y-yes. I'm ok." I called back after a second of hesitation.

"What do you see?" Zayn spoke loudly, again his voice sounding very distant.

"It's all white. Like a completely white room. And there's water on the ground. Less than a foot of it."

"Ok Rose, you're doing great. Just walk around some more."

I followed his instructions, caustically making my way around the room. I swear I kept seeing bits of black smoke in the corner of my eye. But when I turned to face it, nothing would be there.

I shrieked when a puff of it flew past so fast, I was almost knocked off my feet.

"Rosie?!" Harry's voice was full of concern.

Before I could answer him, out of nowhere, a man appeared before me. A man with such a smirk I could never forget. His eyes still glowed a bright yellow...like a cat.

"Luci." I breathed out, taking a large step back.

"I prefer Lucifer now."

The smugness in his voice was truly sickening. My face scrunched up in disgust, making him chuckle.

"What do you want? Why won't you just leave us alone?" I questioned him- almost desperately.

"Because, ruining your lives is just...so much fun." His smile was that of pure evil. "So close, my dear Rose. I'm so close. Everything you know and love is going to come to an end much sooner than you think."

I fell silent, not brave enough to form some sort of a response. I could hear Zayn talking but it was too distant and fuzzy to hear. Luci did not look happy all of a sudden.

"I see Zayn has betrayed me."

I stayed silent, not really knowing what to say, one again. He finally chuckled dryly, killing the silence.

"No matter. He'll get his soon. But for now, I'll just have to get help from someone else."

"Someone else?" I questioned with furrow eyebrows.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that." Once again, he wore a proud smirk. "No...if I were you, I'd be far more worried about...my son than anyone else."

My eyes widened at his words. He almost burst out laughing at my terrified expression.

"Edward." I whispered in fear. "What have you done to him?!"

Suddenly, the bottom half of him turned back into black smoke as his figure rushed towards me, making me gasp.

"Come and get him."

I tried sitting up straight but the rope holding me down wouldn't let me. Because of this, I knew I was back.

Hands rushed to free me from my bounds. I tore the sleep mask from my face, throwing it across the room.

Harry held me tightly, wiping tears from my cheeks. I looked up at Zayn who stared back at me with wide eyes.

"He knows you've betrayed him, and he's getting help from someone else. Someone stronger than you."

I fell silent before gasping, pushing myself away from a startled Harry.

"Edward." I breathed out blankly.

Harry face went pale before taking off towards the attic stairs. My breathing pattern fell into a shaky pant. I held my knees close to my chest.

Niall sat beside me, hugging my side before Harry came running back upstairs with Darcy.

His face was all red, panting hard. Darcy was basically in tears as she clung to his shirt.

"He's gone, Rosie. Edward is gone."

Ohhhh no. Poor Edward.:(

Do you guys have any predictions of what you think is gonna happen? Or how you think it'll all come to an end?

Also, it would mean a LOT to me if y'all went and read the latest chapter of Once Upon a Time which I just updated tonight. Thank you.
