"From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them, and that is eternity."
-Edvard Munch

(Five Hargreeves x OC) 


Number Eight. The Angel.
Seraphina Hargreeves had always been rather quiet. She never quite seemed to be 'all there.' Always staring off, seemingly lost in her thoughts; plagued by her own psyche. 
She only ever seemed mostly there at Five's side, his presence appearing to pull her back and ground her to reality.

When he left, disappearing without a trace, the girl seemed to curl up in on herself, isolating herself from her family and the outside world, a husk of who she once was. 
Resigned to the house she had been raised in, the dauntingly high ceilings and empty halls haunted the timeless fractal endlessly as days bled into years

Then, on the morning of March 21, 2019, Sir Reginald Hargreeves was found dead.


"I have too many ghosts here... but.. I don't seem to have enough ghosts anywhere else.
What would I be without the ghosts? 
The opposite of a haunting is something very lonely."

"You left, Five Hargreeves. Just vanished, disappeared, gone. Am I explaining myself properly?" she couldn't hold back the years' worth of pent-up emotions anymore.

"I'm not mad." ------ Cassandra Hargreeves- or Number Eight as her father always called her- was the eighth member of the Umbrella Academy. Despite having powers, she had spent her whole life on the sidelines. She had been trained to fight, of course, but having the power of predicting the future was never going to be useful in a fight. Sir Reginald Hargreeves never allowed her to go on missions with her other siblings with powers. But her power was stronger than he knew. Cassandra's visions haunted her and the one place she could never escape them was in her dreams. She would wake up screaming in the night, rambling about a forthcoming apocalypse that her father brushed off as nonsense. He told her that she'd merely grow out of these nightmares. And it seemed as if she did. As she grew up, her power grew with her. The older she got the more appalled she became by the images of destruction and chaos she saw. Try as she might to warn the others, however much she begged Five not leave her behind or how much she pleaded with Ben to just sit one mission out, no one ever listened to her... until it was too late. She saw the chaos of the apocalypse and this time she was going to make them believe.
