Disclaimer : I do not own harry potter or bloodborne in any way
Note: sorry if my writing is not that good it's just that that is how I right in school so I am trying to get out of that habit but I'll try to do better. Also sorry if the story jumps around a lot it's just that I am trying to cover most of the bloodborne stuff so I could get onto other parts of the story I want to get to.
{cainhurst castle}
Queen annalise sat upon her throne thinking about Hadrian and how he had grown over the past twelve years " I still remember when I first found him as a baby, how those eyes of his glistened in the darkness " as she thought of those eyes she remembered when he killed for the first time.
{Flashback}
Hadrian had been told to fight one of the servants who had gone completely mad and were killing anyone who came near it so he was now going down the palace steps with a small sword and a pistol. As he continued down he heard a high pitched scream and slowly he followed it till he saw a small person hunched over and all stabbing at the wall while repeating " I'm sorry " over and over again. Hadrian still being only 7 years old was very stealthy in his approach getting right behind the servant before he held his sword up and plunged it into the creature's back and felt something in his mind push him to force more screams from this putrid thing and as such he started to rip the blade out and he found he quite liked the sound of flesh tearing. This was when Hadrian noticed the damn creature was still alive and getting up so he did the one thing his mind told him, get up and start stabbing the living hell out of it until it was nothing but a lifeless bloody corpse. While Hadrian was doing this he was being watched by another servant that still had it's mind in one piece, the reason for this servant being here was because annalise thought that she would want to hear how Hadrian killed and how he took to it. As hadrian stared down at the corpse in front of him he started to feel something drawing him into a trance and as he slowly moved closer to the corpse he opened his mouth and descended onto it and started to devour the body till there was nothing left but a blood splatter on the floor. After he was finished he stood up with both of his eyes glowing a bright green on the left and glowed bright red on the right while he felt his body aching for more blood and flesh but he knew his mother would want him to return after he had finished his task and thus began to make his way back up the stairs to the throne room.
{Flashback end}
Annalise may have seen and heard of some horrifying things in her long life but what the servant had told her that night scared her " if Hadrian is truly becoming something beyond the great ones then he needs to have something to anchor him to his humanity lest he become one of the beasts he now hunts " and as she finished that thought she heard the doors to her throne room open to reveal her son and a person she had not seen in a long time " maria !? " annalise questioned " I thought you had died years ago " maria seemed to consider her answer before saying " my body died but my soul was trapped in the hunter's nightmare ever since then, it was only because your son gave me some of his life blood that I now have a body " annalise looked at Hadrian in interest " why did you do that Hadrian " he pulled down his face mask and gave annalise a big fang filled smile " she was able to keep up with me and gave me a workout so I offered her the choice of death or swearing loyalty to me and you " annalise thought about this for a while before turning to maria " do you swear on your blood and soul that you will remain loyal to Hadrian and me until the day Hadrian releases you ? " maria immediately keeled before annalise and Hadrian " I swear by my blood and soul to serve Hadrian prince of the Vilebloods until he releases me from this oath " after this she stood up and saw queen annalise hold out her arm " now you must take part of our tainted blood " maria then took the queen's arm and drank some of the blood that flowed from it then stood next to Hadrian. After maria had sworn her loyalty to Hadrian they spoke with the queen about how to get to byrgenwerth since he now had something to go off of " Hadrian you must go through the forbidden woods in order to get to byrgenwerth " " I understand but I think I should rest for a little bit to recover my strength, and I am sure maria wants to sleep in a real bed now that she is out of that damnable nightmare " he then looked at maria as if asking if she agreed " yes I think sleeping here would be an improvement when compared to the clock tower " Hadrian merely nodded and showed maria to her room before going into his and laying down for a good night's rest.
{Hadrian's dream / mind}
Hadrian opened his eyes only to see he was in a cave and as he got up and looked around he saw the walls were glistening with what looked like blood, then he saw a light out of the corner of his eye and out of curiosity he followed and saw that the light had been the moonlight shining into the mouth of the cave. As Hadrian walked out of the cave he saw a large lake that stretched as far as he could see and as he stepped out onto it he found that he could walk on the water's surface without falling into it and so he started to walk further and further away from the cave till he could see nothing but water all around him. Then he heard someone crying and looked for the source of it until his eyes landed upon a robed figure sitting on the water and as he approached he saw himself staring into the water crying tears of blood. As Hadrian slowly got over his slight shock at this image he looked at the same spot his copy was looking and saw something moving under the water but as he walked toward it he saw that more than one thing was moving under the water, after a second of realization he heard a bloodcurdling scream but as he turned around he saw his copy get dragged down into the water. He shut his eyes for a minute to collect himself and when he opened his eyes he saw that the water had become what looked like blood with bodies in it staring at him with lifeless eyes and as he backed up a few steps they started to rise out of the water by the dozens all looking at him and slowly they walked towards him with weapons and claws at the ready, that was when Hadrian understood that these were creatures and hunters that he had devoured after killing and as such he had to show them their place at the bottom of the food chain. Now that Hadrian thought about it he said " if you bastards wanted me to tear you apart again you could have asked nicely " while smiling in a way that a shark would be jealous and he began to rip the beast's apart piece by piece for what seemed like hours and as the last beast fell Hadrian began to laugh before feeling a burning sensation in his throat as all the bodies dissolved into a bloody mist and went into his mouth shoving it all down his throat while making him see all their deaths through their eyes. After the blood had forced it's way down Hadrian's throat and he saw himself killing the beasts and hunters he could see why some of the deranged people of yharnam saw him as the perfect beast and as he had this epiphany he could feel a pulling sensation in his head and as he closed his eyes said " maybe I belong out in the streets with the monsters and inhuman beasts ".
{Hadrian's bedroom}
As Hadrian opened his eyes he saw that he was in his room again no beasts or dead hunters in sight he sighed " I guess it was only a dream but it did give me some insight into what I could turn into if I lose my humanity " he thought with a grim expression on his face " well I should probably go see if maria is up yet ".
