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

Chapter 28

There are things in this world. Evil and good things. Demons and angels. The devil and God himself.

Then...there's the little things. The things that are laid out in plain sight, yet no one notices. Like guardian angels and talking cats. Ghosts and witches.

Every fairytale you have ever read is true. Every myth and urban legend is true. All in plain sight. But I suppose that's what makes it so hard to notice...

"The locket." I whispered, ripping it from my neck. "And the ring."

My shaking hand hovered above the drain. It was three in the morning. Everyone in the house was asleep.

My hair was drenched in sweat. I wore only a bathrobe as I stood crouching in the tub. My eyes were glowing bright red through the darkness of the night.

I hadn't realized that I was gripping the locket in my hand so hard that my palm was bleeding, flesh deep under my nails.

I let out a loud gasp when the ring flew out of the drain and onto my finger. A wicked smile spread across my face as I brought it up close to examine it.

But something was wrong. My smile fell, turning into a lopsided frown. The ring was broken. The red jewel was detached from the silver band.

Heavy pants vented from inside of me. Anger boiled deep within me. I had never experienced such anger in my life. It made my whole body shake. My teeth gritted so hard together, they hurt.

A terrifying "NO!" left my lips in a high pitched screech. The entire house shook violently.

Someone began pounding on the door and wiggling the doorknob. Harry. I smiled, tilting my head slightly.

I crawled towards the door before slowly standing up. I titled my head from side to side, setting a shaking hand on the door before pressing my head to it.

"Give her to me. Let her surrender her body to me. Allow me to be her host and control her mind." A deep growl ripped through my throat like fire. "Or I take the boy."

"R - Rosie?" Fear was evident in his soft voice, making me sneer.

"Rosie isn't here right now, lover boy." I looked back down to the ring on my boney finger. "She was kind enough to...let me borrow her body."

Harry was slamming himself against the door now. Everyone had waken up. Zayn was yelling at me, telling me to leave Rose alone.

"Fix the ring and I will give her back. Until then, she will be in my possession. Ever seen the exorcist, boys?"

Niall let out a small whimper, making me chuckle. Edward's small innocent face flashed through my mind, making me see red.

A loud scream that belong to a girl escaped my lips. I rammed myself into the wall, crying out.

"Leave me alone!"

"Rosie?!" Harry tried kicking the door down when he heard his precious little girlfriend's voice.

"Fix the ring, Styles! Then I will give you're girlfriend back."

Before anyone could mutter out another word, the door flung open. Rosie was floating in the air with her arms spread.

Her skin and hair were as white as snow. Her eyes were glowing red, like a demon. Her jaw slacked as a long trail of black smoke left her body.

She dropped to the floor with a loud thud. Harry and Zayn both rushed toward her limp body. Her entire body shook as her eyes rolled back into her skull. Bile leaked from the corners of her mouth, making Harry wince as he stroked her hair.

Niall shivered, making Liam pull him close and press a comforting kiss to his hair. Louis ran forward, grabbing the locket and broken ring.

Zayn looked up at them with hooded eyes while Harry shushed his girlfriend through tears, caressing her soft cheek.

"We need to fix that ring."

"How?" Louis asked, inspecting it. "Only a witch can do it, and Edna's a bad guy now."

"Plus, the only other witch is Rose and she's possessed." Liam mumbled, still rubbing Niall's back.

"I don't know..." Zayn whispered, looking down at Rose. "But we need to contain her before she hurts someone."

Harry let out a strangled cry, holding her close to himself. He rocked, pressing kisses to her hair.

Why do things like this always happen to them? Why them? Can't they just be happy?

Well...you know how the saying goes. Bad things happen to good people.
