Nightmare
You walk down a dark creepy hallway. Hearing voices you decide to follow them
You feel a chill go down your spine. It feels like you have been here before. Flashes of memories from your childhood come together but you can’t quite piece them together.
You open a door at the end of the hall.
The door creaks as you push it
A man sits in a chair by the fire.
You face grows pale at the voice.
Death
Please came in have a seat you must be cold
The man turns around in his chair. You whimper at the sight of his face.
Scabior
Oh don’t give me that. Take a seat.
You can’t move. It feels like something is chaining you to the floor.
He gets up and starts to walk toward you with heavy foot steps
Your eyes stare into his with absolute terror
Scabior
No my dear you should smile it have been to long.
Scabior
Your face has scarred over beautifully
Elodie
I thought I killed you.
Scabior
You could never kill me sweet bean.
Scabior
Now how about we go to the couch and warm each other up.
Scabior grabs your arm. You try to pull away
Elodie
Let me go! Don’t touch me.
Scabior
Is that anyway to take to your caregiver.
Scabior holds a blade to your throat.
Scabior
I think I am done being gentle
A tear slides from your eyes
Scabior
Oh we are well past that my dear now if you won’t be obedient I will break you.
Scabior takes your wrist in his hand and snaps it.
You fall to the ground holding it. You hold your arm close to your body. Trying your best to cage it in a protective shell.
Scabior kicks you across the room. You hear a crack and find it hard to breathe
As your head smashing against the brick wall, Hot blood tricks down your neck. He walks up to your limp body and starts to undo your pants and slide them down
You barely managed to say the last words
Scabior
Don’t worry love it will be over before you know it
Scabior
I have been itching to taste you
He leans forward and kisses you. He bits your lips so hard you bleed.
Your vision starts to fade in and out.
You start to hear a voice on the other end
You decide to follow it knowing the familiar voice well
You jump awake with a scream. The pain is to much.
You had felt everything but only thing that transferred over was the cut on your lip. Your scare burned immensely how ever. You cup your face as you take deep breaths and look toward Mione.
Hermione
You lip is bleeding.
Hermione
It’s fine. In the morning you should get that looked at.
Hermione goes to walk away when you grab her wrist
Elodie
Do you mind staying a bit longer?
Hermione can see the fear in your eyes. Knowing how unusual such a thing is. Hermione crawled into bed with you. You slept better knowing the girl was right next to you.
Hermione
Don’t mention it.
Hermione
Harry you told me you’d figured the egg out weeks ago
Hermione
The task is two days from now
Harry
Really? I had no idea
Harry
I suppose Viktors already figured it out
Hermione
No, we don’t actually talk about the tournament. Actually we don’t really talk at all. Victor is more of a physical being.
Hermione
I just mean he’s not particularly loquacious
Hermione
Mostly, he watches me study
Hermione
It’s a bit annoying actually. You are trying to figure this egg out aren’t you?
Harry
What’s that supposed to mean?
Hermione
It just means he’s task are designed to test you, in the most brutal way. They’re almost cruel and dumb. And uhmm…I’m scared for you. you got by the dragon mostly on nerve. I’m not sure it’s going to be enough this time.
Hermione grabs Harry’s arm and turns him to look at her
Hermione
Also I think you should take to Elodie
Harry
Why? she clearly wants nothing to do with me
Hermione
She has been weird lately. Keeping to herself, jumpy. I think her nightmares are back. She woke up last night with a big cut on her lip.
Harry’s hand ball into fists
Hermione
I am honestly scared for her. Last night she looked at me with utter terror.
Cedric yells from the other end of the bridge
Cedric
Look I realize I never really thank you properly for tipping me off about those dragons
Harry
I’m sure you would’ve done the same for me
Cedric
Exactly. You know the prefects bathroom on the fifth floor. It’s not a bad place for a bath just take your egg and mull things over in the hot water.
You feel someone watching you.
A chill goes down your spine.
You look around but you don’t see anyone around
The library was completely empty.
You return to your book. You have research a way to control your dreams in the mindscape at least to the point where you don’t wake up with wounds.
You feel a hand grip your shoulder. All the air in your lungs leaves your body. You grab your wand from your sleeve. Spinning around, pressing the wand to the man throat caused your breath to return but was hard to maintain.
Harry holds his hands up in defense
You look at him but you don’t lower your wand
Harry
Look I won’t hurt you. You know I would never.
You hesitate and Harry’s eyes start to fill with sadness
Harry
I would never hurt you Elodie.
You gulp at the thought of him actually hurting you. Deciding to trust him you lower your wand nodding to show your understanding.
Harry lowers his arms and look you in the eyes
The crack in his voice broke your heart.
Harry
What happened Elodie?
Harry moves closer and pulls you toward him. He brushes his thumb over you lip
Harry
How did you get this?
You grab Harry’s hand and pull it way from your face.
Elodie
I am fine Harry. If you want to help just be there for me. When this whole tournament garbage is over and you’re safe then we can face my demons.
Elodie
One thing at a time okay.
Harry can see the persistence on your face
He pulls you in and kisses your forehead.
Harry
Okay but if it gets any worse then fuck the tournament deal.
