Angel [Hierarchy Series] [Harry Potter Fanfiction] (GirlxGirl)

Chapter 42 - Izumi Village

Chapter 42

She hadn't been able to know how long has it been. Y/N had never felt hunger nor did she found the need to sleep. But sometimes she does it willingly in the sake of stopping her endless crying. She dreams too, but memories would remind her of her reality so she'd wake up and cry again.

It becomes a no-no, sleeping she means, so she'll just continue on with her cries instead.

Crying helps, sometimes the sky would turn close to twilight too once in a while so she'd stop and just look at the sky, hoping to find her answers in the constellation she named after a silly old cartoons, or the first thing that comes in mind. Somehow it reminds her of Nathan, she missed him and his cheeky jokes, or the vulgar comment he'd sudden come up with.

She still doesn't know how long she's been in la-la land though but that she didn't bother with. She would still cry, crying helps after all. Ella, the name was the one she remembers, and she'd weep the name again. "Ella." Because, because... she just want to forget too.

Like how she tried to erase the other one.

The first one...

The last time...

Nathan says it was his fault, had set the attic on fire in the need to save her from him. He visited again, not in her dreams, but as a Christmas surprise. It was truly a surprise, even got her in surprise too.

He says Y/N had been bad, letting Megan marry off a "dyke" to replace him. Says that he'll beat her again, but after he gets Nathan. With the promise was a handkerchief filled with chloroform, knocked her right out even though she tried to struggle out his grasp. He was choking her already so when he let go of her neck, Y/N had no choice but to gasp for air, meaning having to breathe through the handkerchief.

She was half-awake soon enough, heard rustling and haste, furniture being broken, the vases mostly. She heard Nathan, he was talking, and he was talking back. Watched the boy got caught by his hair and him trying to chloroform Y/N's friend too.

Y/N doesn't want her friend into this mess...

... She doesn't like him.

He can't do that to Nathan, he was a good friend (if she could call their relation that way at that time)... but Nathan lost the battle too despite his struggle, having the need to breathe sooner or later.

Him grinning, sinister smile, looking her way with soften eyes, yet still with the sickening smile. "Just me and you baby girl, let's go and have fun on the basement again yeah?"

No... Y/N doesn't want to go back to the basement again... doesn't want to leave Nathan there in the attic either. No...

No.

Fire... everywhere, fire, screams. "No, no, no!" Flames dancing, burning, indulge him. Screams... he was screaming again. Y/N hates it when he screams, he's mad, she doesn't like it when he's mad. He'd her hurt again. "No, no, no!" she doesn't like it when he punches her stomach, when he'd throw empty tin can of beer at her, asking for another after.

She doesn't like him.

So she just watched him get burn.

Sirens got closer though, ruining it. Water defeats fire, fire was out soon enough, the roof was burned, but nothing else from down stairs. "A miracle..." Police says electricity malfunctions, Nathan say he did it, Y/N said nothing.

Megan and Lilith hugged her, old neighbor said she called the police when she heard screaming and the burst of fire and knew that something was wrong. Police identify him as Graham Finn, Y/N just renamed him just him.
