Chapter 1: Heartbroken
Adriana's POV:
The hall was usually quiet during this time, but it didn't matter. I could hear the sounds of my fellow students, my friends. Snickering, I walked around the corner; coming was a site I didn't want to see. My girlfriend, my soul mate was cheating on me with my best friend Alexa.
"Sarah?!" my voice barely above a whisper, but I knew she heard me. Sarah head snapped up before her expression turned horrified and sad, the same as Alexa.
"Adriana, it's not what it looks like!" she said, taking one step toward me. Laughing darkly I watched her flinch before she looked at me with those chocolate brown eyes I always loved. They always made me cave and give in, but this time it made want to kill something or someone.
"How long?" I asked
"What?!" she asked confusedly
"How long have you been cheating on me?" I hissed out. The Ravenclaw inside of me wanted to get the full story but I was a Slytherin, and my instincts told me to get out and leave them.
"Six months" Sarah whispered dejectedly. My mind was in overload.
Six Months.
We were dating since our fifth year and now at our last year she decides to throw it away. My shoulders visibly and the emotionless mask on my face disappeared. I felt hot tears dripping down my Hogwarts uniform. It probably seemed weird to anyone who didn't know what was going on. The ice princess of Slytherin was crying. One thought occupied my mind, why did she do it?
"Why? Why did you do it?" I hissed out angrily, my fist clenched into fists. She looked at me sadly, her fingers fidgeting against her skirt.
"I don't know?" It was more of a question then an answer to my question.
"YOU DON'T KNOW!" I screamed out, my stoic stance was replaced with an angry expression. She looked scared; Alexa was just sitting there a blank expression on her face.
"I loved you" my voice small and meek. Sarah started sobbing even more.
"I love you too" she stated sadly. Reaching forward, she tried to grab my hand but I wrenched it away from her reach. I didn't want her touch even though I craved it so much. I gathered my resolve and looked at her with suffering, before my eyes go blank.
"Well that doesn't matter anymore because I'm done with both of you "I casually stated before I walked away leaving Sarah sobbing. My soul mate, my love, my tie to the light cheated on me and I deep pain filled my heart and my soul was ripped from my body leaving me empty.
-Ten Minutes Before –
Sarah's POV;
I knew we were going to get caught. Alexa and I were making out near the food hall. I wasn't scared of other people, but it was my girlfriend Adriana. I love her, but I didn't know why I was doing this to her.
"Sarah?" A voice said barely above a whisper. Snapping my head up, my expression turned horrified and saddened. Adriana looked heartbroken, her beautiful ice blue eyes held unshed tear.
"Adriana it's not what it looks like!" I said.
Taking a step toward her, I flinched when I heard her laugh darkly. I watched her as she had an inner struggle, her eyes trying to avoid mine.
"How long?" she asked, her voice crackling slightly.
"What?" I asked confusedly as I looked at impassive face.
"How long have you been cheating on me?" Adriana hissed out. I felt a lump in my throat, as the tears welled in my eyes. This is it, the moment if I and she stayed together.
Gulping I answered "Six months." Her shoulders visibly slumped and the tears began to fall as she processed what I said. I didn't realize I was crying until I felt hot tear traveling down my cheeks.
"Why? Why did you do it?" her voice was so broken as if her soul was ripped from her body. I'm pretty sure it happened, because I felt it to. The feeling of your soul being ripped from your body, just leaving you an empty shell.
"I don't know..?" I said. Those three words seemed to send her in some kind of frenzy. Her ice blue eyes flashed a deep crimson red, as she clenched her fist in anger.
"YOU DON'T KNOW!" she screamed out before continuing, "I loved you". I didn't know what to do; I waited two years for her to say those words. Knowing she loved me made it harder to cope, with the fact that I cheated on her.
"I love you too" I stated sadly. I reached forward to grab her hand but she wrenched it away from my hand. She looked disgusted by my touch, I couldn't blame her. I was disgusted with myself also. She quickly looked at me with something a kin to suffering before that impassive look came back onto her face. She was locking herself back into her shell, a thing I broke down with love and trust.
"Well that doesn't matter anymore because I'm done with both of you" Adriana stated, her lips curled into a sadistic smile. I felt empty and hollow. I lost my soul mate.
My Adriana.
But she wasn't mine anymore, I broke her and betrayed her trust. It took forever to break into her shell and find the true person she was. She was loving and caring, but that shell was a way to not let anyone in. Now I threw all that work and persistent cracks into the shell, just for a quick fling with our best friend. I knew it was going to be a long year.
-Two days later-
No POV:
Word of Adriana and Sarah's break up spread through the school like a wildfire. There were many questions floating through all the students' minds. Why did Adriana break up with Sarah? Adriana sat at the Slytherin table a dark looking gracing her angelic features. The break up was awkward for the Slytherin's because Sarah and Alexa were both in the house. But mostly the Slytherin's and all the Hogwarts girls were happy that she was now single.
The day after the break up , Adriana wouldn't even look or talk to people. She would lock herself in her dorm for hours until it was time to eat. The teachers, mostly Snape, worried about Adriana. Though she still had the top grades she just stopped participating in class. A scowl or glare was always etched into Adriana's face. Her ice blue eyes were lacking the warmth and loving stare she always had around people.
Adriana's POV:
The only light in the room was the soft glow of the moon above my head. I lay on bed watching the dementors circled around the castle, leaving a trail of death along their path. Looking around my room, I noticed a picture I forgot to throw away. It was the day I won the Triwizard tournament and Sarah became my girlfriend. Smiling softly at the memory, I replayed those events I went through to get to her.
Flashback:
I looked around the graveyard, a slight mist on the ground. A slight pull pulled me toward the direction of a maze. Walking through a giant puzzle, I saw bones of fallen triwizard are lined against the wall. Following the trail, I noticed the triwizard cup sitting on a pedestal. Running toward I felt a body collide with mine. Looking up I notice Mikael Johnson looking down at me with a murderous glint in his eyes. Reaching for my wand, his hand grabbed my wrist. I could hear the sound of my bones cracking under his death grip on my wrist. Whimpering I held my broken wrist closely to my chest. Feeling his hot breath against my ear , made me shiver in fear and disgust.
"I'm going to win this not you" Mikael sneered. His wand pressing into my stomach, the sound of blood cascading down my stomach rang through my ears. Thrashing wildly I screamed for help, my voice ricocheted against the stone walls of the maze. I recoiled in shock grasping my cheek from where Mikael slapped me.
"L-let me g-go p-please!" I cried out in agony, my voice strained from my screaming.
"No I'm not, you bitch will scream out in pain as long as I want!" he hissed into my ears. As he got up I kicked him in the crotch.
"Bloody Hell!" he screamed in pain as he rolled on the ground clutching his crotch. Running forward I grabbed my wand in my not broken hand. A curse on the tip of my tongue, I watched as he got up. He had a pained expression on his face, his wand clutched tightly in his right hand.
"You Bitch!" Mikael spat out. Limping toward me he yelled a curse, "Stupefy!"
A red light shot out of his wand, coming toward me in a rapid movement. Jumping to left I watched as the curses buries itself in the wall.
"Expelliarmus!" I shouted. I watched as his wand sailed through the air before landing in my hand. I started laughing at his terrified expression. Walking toward him, I watched in deep satisfaction as he shivered at the dark look in my eye.
"Are you scared?" I said, my voice held a tone of mocking and giddiness. Nodding his frantically, he began crying. Groaning I grabbed a handful of his hair, roughly tugging up so I could see his face. A sadistic smile crossed my face as I heard him whimper in pain.
"Answer Me! Are you scared of me?"I whispered in his ear.
"Yes" Mikael whimpered out.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you. What did you say?" I hissed into his ears.
"YES!" Mikael screamed out in pain as I pressed my wand into his stomach. Staring darkly at the gash on his stomach, I watched blood pool around his feet.
"That's a good boy "I sneered as I petted his head. Throwing him to the ground, his wand followed shortly after. Sauntering toward the cup, I grinned when I felt the cool metal under my fingers. Wrapping my fingers around the handle, I heard Mikael shout something.
"Sectumsempra!" Mikael bellowed.
As the cup began to apparate, I felt the curse hit my back before I was sucked through the air.
Back at Hogwarts
No POV:
Silence
That's was everyone heard as they watched the entrance to the graveyard. The Slytherin's waited for Adriana to come through the entrance. One Slytherin in particular waited anxiously for her best friend (and crush). Sarah looked at the anxious and scared expressions on her friends faces. She and Alexa sat there silently crying, wishing for Adriana to come out alive. People began to leave but stopped when they saw a figure lying against the wall.
"Adriana!" Sarah happily screamed. Racing toward Adriana, Sarah wrapped her arms around Adriana's neck. She sighed when she felt strong arms wrap around her waist.
"Sarah I … mmph " Adriana was cut off by a pair of lips against hers. Molding perfectly against her lips, she forgot about everyone else. Wolf-whistle and jealous sighs could be heard thru out the stadium. Pulling back Adriana kissed Sarah's lips again before she turned to the crowd; a giant grin broke across her face. Her friends lifted her into the air, setting her on their shoulders. Giggling she jumped down from her friend shoulders. Wrapping a arm around Sarah's waist, she began walking toward the Headmaster.
"Excellent Job Adriana "The Headmaster grinned cheekily.
"Thank you Head…." Adriana couldn't finish, she fell to the ground in pain. Scared gasp and shrieks surrounded her as she lay on the ground. Everyone was scared , their champion kneeled on the ground , blood on her back.
"Adriana let me see" Sarah asked. She knew something was wrong the minute Adriana wrapped her arms around her. Sarah could feel the blood dripping down Adriana back as they hugged.
"No " Adriana whispered painfully as she crouched into a ball.
"Show Me!" Sarah commanded. Adriana slowly nodded her head, signaling a yes. Sarah grasped the hem of Adriana's shirt , lightly pulling it up. You could hear the groans of pleasure as the girls of Hogwarts looked at toned abs . They stopped when they looked at Adriana's back , horrified gasps escaped the mouths. Two long cuts starting from her shoulders all the way to her hip bones, marred her back. The blood contrasted against Adriana's porcelain skin.
A gasp escaped Sarah lips as she looked at Adriana's back. Scars lined against her back , the two new scars only added more scars to her gorgeous back.
"W-who d-did this t-to you?" Sarah whispered
"Mikael Johnson" Adriana hissed through clenched teeth. Angry expressions were etched onto everyone's face. Adriana's eyes began to close, her skin growing paler every second. Blood flowed down her back , creating a pool around Adriana.
"Adriana! Keep your eyes open" screamed Sarah.
Silence
Was all they heard before a scream pierced the air as Adriana fell to the ground unconscious.
End Flashback
Still Adriana's POV:
Lifting my shirt up, I looked over my shoulder to see my scarred back. Glancing at my mirror, I looked at me with calculating eyes. My platinum blonde hair was pulled up into a messy ponytail. Ice blue eyes looked back at me with a dark look. My face looked haggard and sullen, all my fat was gone leaving me with all skin and bones. Walking toward my bed, I flung myself on the silver covers. Before closing my eyes I looked back at the picture, before closing my eyes and fell into a dreamless state.
