Chapter 16 - Chapter 14

Tw: This chapter does have bl//d so please be aware

Also happy new years eve!!

The hours pass

Y/n grew tiredly

But couldn't sleep

Their body grew exhausted

You felt as if you were stuck in the same position

Even though you still move your hand and legs

You blankly stare at the bloody damage journal

Wondering how it got to this state

But you didn't feel surprised..

You sighed and looked out the window

The cold night sky

The bloody red moon that alway shines brightly every night with only a few stars..

Footsteps creeped up the stairs

Being alerted you quickly came out of the hidden room

And out to the main room

The door opened

Belladonna peeped in holding a candle lighting up the dark room

"Can I help you with something?.." you spoke

"Oh gosh willow! You're awake!"

She said out of shock

You looked over your shoulder

"Yea..couldn't get a wink of sleep.."

"Oh I see.." She went inside and sat on your bed

You sat next to her

"Is there something bothering you?"

"I am just tired.."

She snapped her fingers in excitement

"I know!" She clapped happily at the idea and walked up to your drawers picking up a comb

Jumping over to you sitting behind you and started brushing your hair

"How about~" She said in a singing tone

"We can go out to one of our fancy picnics!"

"I know some of my friends who will love to see you again!"

"And one of our relatives as well!"

"Outgoings?..no no..I don't think It will be a good idea.." you were tired, going out to big places would seem to be like too much energy

Belladonna stopped brushing your hair

"You know..we barely hang out..you always seem to ignore me when I try to hang out with you, I am just trying to help you feel a bit better by going out but now you don't even wanna do that anymore..all you want to do is hang out with charlot.."

You thought for a moment

You were ignoring Belladonna for some time

But not because you wanted to

But because you were a bit busy

You sighed "your right..I guess hanging out with you wouldn't hurt"

"Hooray!!"

She shouted in excitement and giggled a bit

You gave a small smile

Then the door slammed wide opened

"Mrs.Belladonna there's a rodent here in the!-"

"Excuse me!. How dare you interrupt me and my sibling bonding time!." She snapped at her, Ms.Margaret gulped and quickly apologized

Belladonna sighed and got up patting down your head

"Sorry for leaving so early, we will plan the trip later tonight!" She cheered and started walking out the door but before she stepped out she spoke

"I hope you're still not planning to go to that old lady's place..I heard a lot of things are going on in the village..and it's not going to be so safe for you.."

And she left it at that

Curiosity took over

'Who's the supposed 'rodent' in the house?..'

You heard a sudden creek on the bed

You got up quickly

'What was that!?'

The bed creak more until a young voice called out

"Ow!.."

It was Elizabeth that was under the bed the whole time

"Elizabeth? What were you doing under the bed? Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?" You question as you helped her out of the bed

"I wanna play!"

She said jumping excitedly

"Oh of course but we should probably get you back home..they must be worried"

You kneeled down to her level

But you haven't realized the blood stains on her..

Her blue nightgown was covered in dirt and ripped..

She was barefoot with scratches and splinters all over her pale feet..

You slowly looked up..

"E..Elizabeth?.."

Blood was poured down to her face..a pair of blue empty doll eyes look down back at you..

"This is all your fault.."

"What?.."

You were shot into a place

It was a small town you didn't recognize being burn to the ground people were running and screaming

They looked like they were trying to escape

But escape from what?..

"Willow!!.."

You heard what seemed to be charlots voice echoing in the background

You turned your head to find charlot but you only saw a bloody sword in front of you

And in front of it

Was willow..

They were on their knees, their back aching over at something..

You step a bit closer trembling as there was a trail of blood..

As you peek over..

There held..in willow's arms..

…Elizabeth's body…

You covered your mouth gasping

Backing up only to bump into something

Something gripped your neck and threw you to the ground..

The place changed..

You were in water..

You couldn't feel your body..

You tried to reach to the sufferers..

But your vision blurred, you only saw a tall figure…but you couldn't make out who it was..

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Willow!"

You gasped as you felt a fresh of air go through your lungs again

"Willow..you're panicking again."

"W..what?"

You turned over to see who it was talking to you

It was Belladonna

But she looked alot younger

Not to young but young enough to be in her early teenage years

You heard her giggle

"Silly. Don't be shy. This is your biggest shot ever!!" She cheered and twirled you around

You noticed that you were in a type of ballerina outfit and so was she

"What shot?.."

"Duh your 'widow' performance, they're gonna pick who has the best role!"

"I bet it's gonna be me!~" She said in a dramatic pose

"Heh..I guess..you're pretty good too"

You were no longer in control of willows body

Instead you were seeing a memory..

You saw willow..

For the first time they didn't look so terrifying..

Willow held their head down a bit, spacing off and fidgeting their hands..

You didn't realize they used to be a ballerina..the diary didn't say anything about this..

To be fair, Willow did look majestic in the outfit they wore..and the sad deep purple eyes they have..it's something you could get lost in if you stare too long..

But it all ended as a piercing scream was held inside a room

They rushed in to see what happened

You saw a girl crying out on the floor

Their ballet shoes has fallen off with shattered glass and needles on the floor

"My feet!..someone put glass in my pointes!.."

The teachers rushed in to help the girl

One professor shouted "who caused this chaos!?." He yelled in a demanding voice

You saw willow in the shadows..

Eyes were widened from what they saw..

You heard other students started to gossip

Belladonna quickly went over to help put the girl in a wheelchair..

The professor went up to willow..

"Willow. Do you have anything to do with this?."

"Excuse me?.."

"Sir, I think you're going too far..I'm sure Willow has nothing to do with this, they have done nothing wrong.."

"Oh don't be fooled Ms. Anneliese, I haven't been telling you what has been going around here in the school grounds. The rumors of willow. Damage items. stolen items!. And now an injured student!."

He stomped his foot to ground

And explained

"A student of ours told me they saw a tall figure in the room being suspicious earlier today!."

He then pointed his stick to willow

"And no student of ours is as tall as either Willow or Belladonna. I wouldn't be surprised if Willow got jealous and caused this."

"Don't be so foolish! You just said we have two taller students what if was Belladonna and not willow"

"Oh please Ms.Anneliese , Belladonna hasn't been nothing but helpful around here."

You heard the other student whispered to each other agreeing

"He's not wrong though.." one spoke..

You saw the girl now in the wheelchair clinging to Belladonna's arm meanwhile she rubbed her back for her to feel comfortable..

"You should apologize.."

Willow just stood there..and turned to see her beloved sister..

You saw their face with a look of what seemed to be betrayal struck into them like a knife..

Belladonna held a blank expression from seeing their sibling..

"Apologize now!." He shouted and hit willow in the back with the stick

The students shrieked and walked back

Ms. Anneliese eyes widen with tears forming

Willow gulped and slowly walked up to the girl who was about to be taken away to get help..

"Im..I'm s..sorry.."

Their voice broke

The girl only looked down and let the teacher take her away..

The professor then spoke

"You are banned from ever stepping foot here."

"..."

"Do you hear me willow!?."

Willow only clings their fist and runs off..

Belladonna stood there with Ms. Anneliese..

The professor laid a hand on Belladonna shoulder

"Belladonna..you will take the lead role of 'widow' in the upcoming event.."

He looked over his shoulder "what a shame..Willow was a great student.."

The place sooned changed to a dark room..willow's room to say the least.

You saw how willow shouted at Belladonna

"Leave me alone!!."

They yelled as they threw a book at her

Belladonna missed it

"Willow, calm down!."

"Why didn't you said anything!?.."

"You just stood there and said nothing!!.."

"I was about to say something!."

"You lier!!."

"you never do!.."

"You say you always do but yet you never do it, making things a lot worse!."

The things changed and looked to be a glitch as it turned to the siblings much older the ones you know now

Belladonna gripped willow's arm

Both of them gripping on to a dagger

The problem is you didn't know who was holding it first..

That's when you saw willow..

They wore the same bloody outfit as the first day you met Belladonna..

The only difference was..you saw what seemed to be tears on willows face..

Willow screamed in a pit of rage "I'm going to kill you Belladonna!!."

You heard a low rumble behind

You stayed silent and slowly turned to see what is was

It was the beast..

They quickly jump at you.

.

.

.

.

.

Everything turned black..

..you felt waves hit back and forth..

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Willow!!.."

You jolted awake

You were in bed

Elizabeth looked scared and shed a few tears

"Oh Elizabeth you're okay!!.." you yelled and pulled her in a tight hug

"Willow, you're squeezing me!" She giggled a bit

You laughed a bit as well and let her go

"You passed out all of the sudden, it was scary!.."

You paused for a moment thinking all of the things you just saw..

"It's..it's nothing to worry about" you laughed it off as you patted her head

She giggled and smiled

Was that a sign of what might happen if Willow came back?..

Are you going to have to fight her and stop it before it happens?..

Too many questions…

At least everyone is okay..

But you didn't understand why she felt so cold….
