Chapter 2 Releasing the Deamons
What do you see in the dark
when the demons come for you
Draco sat in his compartment and stared out the window at the countryside zipping past the speeding train. It had not been an easy task to convince that pug-faced Pansy Parkinson to let go of his arm and leave him alone. He of course only managed it after giving her a glare that even Snape would pause at.
If only you could have seen
how fucked up my life used to be
then everything starts to change
supposedly healing my pain
I never thought I'd feel this way
I never thought that I'd see a day
I'd run away from anything or anywhere or anyone
Its all these demons haunting me
Its all these little things trapped inside of me
Releasing me from all my sin
Its taken me all of my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons again
Sighing, he mentally noted how well the weather matched his mood; cold, dark, and rainy. Sighing again, Draco heaved himself to his feet, moving across the small compartment to his bag he had left there. Rummaging around inside of it, he found what he was looking for and quickly returned to his seat he had previously abandoned.
The item he had pulled out was a muggle device, a CD player. It was the one thing that Draco discovered he could not live without. Turning it on, he placed the headphones over his ears, the music of Godsmack blaring. Draco relaxed as the music washed over him, sweeping him away with the pounding bass.
And now I look through my minds eye
And see where my past needs to rest
Its always disturbed by these voices
That echo inside of my head
Another way that I can hide
Another reason to crawl inside and get away
from everything and everywhere and everyone
NO!
It's all these demons haunting me
it's all these little things trapped inside of me
releasing me from all my sin
But even as he relaxed, a darker turmoil rose inside. He could feel his arm start to burn with the desire to cut. A demon inside was threatening to take over, and Draco could see no reason not to. He had a horrible family life, he was beaten and cursed, and everyone at the school hated him. He couldn't help that he had tried to make his father proud of him. It was the Malfoy family motto to do whatever it takes to get what you want.
Its taken me all of my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons...again
Unaware of how it happened, his dagger appeared in his hand. Draco stared at it for several long minutes before his arm lifted of its own accord and pushed back his left sleeve. The skin that was revealed was covered in scars, some old and nearly healed, other new and barely scabbed over. Finding a patch of skin that was still bare, he placed the blade on his skin and pulled it across, his blood coming quickly to the surface.
Facing the days as I grow into my own
Loving and hating's the same
and three-fold I told you
it comes back with laughter
Over and over again
its coming back
He leaned back and hissed in pleasure. How he had survived for so long without it, he didn't know. Looking back down, he stared at his arm and the blood covering it. He stared at the intricate patterns it created on his flesh, a deadly form of art. He had released the demon inside.
Its taken me all of my anger
and taken me all of my hate
to learn how my life came together
A long time passed before Draco came back to reality. The sky had darkened considerably and the rain came down harder than ever. Picking up his wand, he muttered a quick cleaning charm for his arm and everything else the blood had touched. Setting it back down, he changed into his school robes and began mentally preparing himself for the hell he was sure his sixth year would be. After all, he still had the Golden Trio out to destroy him merely because he shared a y chromosome with his father.
Releasing...
Releasing the demons again
The train came to a stop and the usual screaming and yelling commenced, reminding Draco that he was supposed to be out there too. But instead he sat and waited until most of the noise had died down to drag his trunk up to the school.
Releasing the demons again
He had released the demon inside, if only for a while. But that demon had gone back, its bloodlust sated.
Releasing the demons again
The demon knew it would be released again.
Releasing the demons again
It would always be released….
Releasing the demons...
