As Cold As It Gets - Harry Styles AU

Prologue

Prologue:

1st of February 1313.

"Let her go! Do whatever you want with me, but just- just let her go. Don't hurt her." Edward begged my father to spare my life and take his instead. This all started because my father forbid me from being with Edward just because he's human, and now he wants' to punish me, though I know It's not me he wants dead now. It's Edward. He's going to punish me through Edward.

I shook my head quickly and pushed Edward behind me, away from my father so that now I was the one standing face to face with my smirking 'father'.

"Don't you dare touch him because if you do I will kill you. I swear! " I hissed, but all he did was laughed while shaking his head before his little slaves took me, holding me away from Edward. I tried getting them off of me but at that moment I was way too weak for that.

"You know dear daughter what I think? I think that love has made you weak and a pathetic excuse of a vampire." My monster of a father said while walking around me and looking shamefully at me. All I did was look back with hate filled eyes trying to get away from the slaves that were holding me down.

"So...To teach you that love never ends right and that it's nothing but a weak human emotion. Please, do stay for the show dear." He said chuckling while he walked towards Edward making my eyes snap wide open, knowing what will happen next.

All I could do was watch as his other slaves took Edward's wrists putting them into some sharp metal hand traps that were connected to two chains, hanging from the ceiling of my father's basement where he took his victims.

As they closed the metal objects around both his wrists, blood started oozing from his wrists. All that was heard in the cold, dark room was nothing but a painful scream from Edward as his face turned pale and he shot his eyes close from all the pain.

I couldn't speak since my father compelled me to stay quiet, but still, I tried getting to Edward, even though it was no use against five of my father's best slaves.

"Now dear child of mine, watch as he begs me to kill him at the end and all because of no one else but you!" Father said as he took a thick chain connecting it with Edwards torso making his knees buckle under him, but the two chains from the ceiling held him up by his bleeding wrists.

He cried out loudly in pain and as he looked over to where I was, I broke down crying trying to yell for my father so stop seeing what he was about to do. I completely broke as I saw him mouth to me the words 'I love you.' At that very moment my father reached into Edwards chest making my eyes open wide and get blurry from all the tears as he ripped my loved one's heart out with a cold hearted laugh looking into my eyes with not one emotion in his cold grey ones.

The slaves let go of me and at that very second I was next to Edward hugging him close to me and crying into his neck. That was when I heard my father's laugh from across the room. I stood up and sped off to him as he just smirked like nothing happened.

"You killed him!" I yelled out making him laugh even harder into my face. "Well dear, I believe I did. You're welcome dear daughter." He said with a sarcastic tone smiling at me with fake niceness making me even angrier.

"Kill me!" I demanded making his face glow from victory, like he was planning to drive me to the point where I was asking his just that. The only way I could die was if he gave me the cure he has to make me human so I could kill myself. And he knew that.

"Oh now now sweetheartwe mustn't get you what you want that easily now can we? - You will stay here forever knowing his death was your entire fault. It will be ten times worse than just killing you. Actually, killing you would be a gift."

That's when something clicked inside of me, like a switch. I just hooked my fangs into my father's neck taking him by surprise because he thought I gave up. I drained him until he became unconscious. Then I took him and chained him with the cure closing the casket throwing him into the ocean.

I came back to the basement seeing all the slaves that I killed and at the centre of the room was my Edwards lifeless body just lying there. I almost didn't feel anything anymore so it didn't hurt, but it's a lie when they say you can just switch it off and it's all gone. It's never completely gone. Not when it was real. And it was real as it gets.

I shook it off as I felt someone put a hand on my shoulder. I closed my eyes breathing in deeply knowing who it was. "Come on S. Let's get out of here. We'll be okay. I'll stay with you and we'll be okay. Together, me and you, sister." Sethius said, but I shook my head looking one last time at the only person I've ever loved before looking at Sethius with a stone cold stare.

"I am okay. I will be fine. Alone!" I said before getting out of the house. I went to the ocean looking at it as it crashed the shore knowing my father was there, and he was never coming back.

"Goodbye Adelardus." I spoke as I left my father, my brother, Edward and all the memories behind finding a new life with nothing from my old one. With no love.

All love brings at the end is pain and I'm just so sick of it.

I don't need it.

I don't want it.

It's nothing but overrated anyway.

I'm Sapphire Dark and this is my story!
