Isabella woke up to the view of the green walls of her dormitory. She lay still in her position as she kept observing her surroundings. After like ten minutes, she sighed deeply and tried to sit on her elbow. But it staggered midway as a severe gush of pain ran through her shoulder. She delicately raised her hand to the throbbing area. She hissed in pain as she touched her shoulders. Her sigh made the door of her dormitory swing open. She was welcomed by the sight of a worried Rose.
"Bella! You are awake. "Thank God," she stated in a worried tone. Isabella softly smiled at her, but that smile was quickly replaced by a frown.
"How... how did I come here?" Isabella asked with confusion.
"You fell from the stairs, did you forget?" Rose cleared it up. Isabella nodded negatively and replied, "No, I don't." Rose softly patted her shoulder and said, "It's alright." But she quickly took her hand as Isabella hissed. Rose asked her with a frown, "Are you hurt?"
Isabella tried her best to control her tears but replied with a whimper, "Ye... yeah."
Rose urgently stood up and said loudly, "I knew you were hurt badly. I was alone, so I just cast that 'Leviosa' spell and took you here. Wait here and don't stand up! "
saying that she dashed out of the room. Isabella can't help but stare at the ceiling above her. She tried to recall the events before she lost consciousness. But I was unable to. She was processing her thoughts when a male voice rang in her ears. "Black...", that voice says. In the next moment, she got a flashback of the Slytherin batch in front of her eyes.
She tried again, but that voice disappeared. Tears of frustration built up in her eyes as she couldn't collect herself. But the thoughts of despair were shifted from astonishment as her dorm room opened. Her red-teary orbs were met by the concerning orbs of 'Abraxas Malfoy'.
"Isabella!" was the first thing out of his mouth as he stared at her vulnerable state. The look of care and genuineness made her tear up.
Her teary eyes caused Abraxas to shift in concern as he instantly rushed towards her bedside. "What happened? "Are you okay?" he asks, hurriedly but concernedly leaning down to examine her closely.
"Abraxas... My shoulder...", she muttered through tears as she pointed towards her shoulder. His gaze shifted from her face to her shoulder. He slowly ran his hand over it.
He cupped her cheeks as he said softly, "Alright Isabella, it will hurt a little. Just endure it. I will quickly take you to the hospital wing. "Okay? "
She nodded her head quickly. After assuring Abraxas, he wiped the tears falling down her scarlet cheeks with his thumb and slowly raised her in bridal style. She instantly fisted her hands, turning them white, as the pain was unbearable for her. Abraxas looked at her sulky figure, struggling to stay calm in his arms. His eyes momentarily shifted to her bed, where she was previously lying, only for his eyes to dilate in horror as he saw the silky bedsheets covered in the brunette's blood.
He assured her one last time as he continued delicately, "Hold on Bella, I have got you."
With that, he dashed towards the door with Rose behind them. His grip on Isabella's figure got stronger as the girl started to lose consciousness.
"Open the exit,'' he screamed loudly. gaining the attention of other Slytherins sitting in the dorm as well. Lestrange hurriedly shouted the password as the door of the dormitory swung open. The trio dashed towards the exit as Isabella panted hard and bawled her fist by gripping hard on Abraxas' shirt for her dear life, Rose crying hysterically for her dear friend, and Abraxas' bloodshot eyes concerned for the brunette in his arms.
As they were on their way, they crossed a certain raven which they were ignorant of, but he wasn't. He observed the brunette closely with his death pan expressions as she was shivering from pain and her mates were carrying her to the hospital wing. He noticed her state, but what made him growl internally was her fist bawling around Abraxas's shirt and him gripping on her.
But could he help that? No As he knew, he was the source of that pain. He sighed quietly, his gaze trailing over her pained expression. He just looked at them momentarily and then turned towards his dorm.
The trio entered the hospital wing as they laid her on the nearest bed. ''Help, she is injured.'' Rose spoke loudly. The sister came for help. She asked observing her, ''Oh dear, what happened to her?''
"I don't know. I found her near the stairs of the girls' dormitory, but the way she was lying there It was sure that she fell from them." Rose replied. She was taken to be treated for her ailments, and the two were excused to leave the hospital wing.
"You two should excuse us now. I will treat her overnight. You two will be able to meet her tomorrow.
Both left for the dormitory with a gush of pain running down their whole bodies. "I can't see her like that,'' Rose broke the silence. "So do I'' , Abraxas continued with a sigh. Both stopped in their tracks and exchanged glances. "I will go and bring something for her to eat. I know she has probably not eaten anything, "Rose declares. Abraxas nods and says, ''I am going to dormitory to take something for her.''
"What is it?" Rose asked with amusement. Abraxas shrugged and said lowly yet playfully, ''Something she might like.''
Rose arched her eyebrows at him and continued, "You too seem too close, and about you, I can clearly see something else for her." But Abraxas smiles softly and says, "But the one I want to notice doesn't."
"Perhaps she does and is waiting for you," Rose responds, instilling hope in Abraxas' chest as he inquires, "Has she told you about something like that?" "No, she didn't. She seems to avoid topics like that. But I hope she will tell me soon. You must sort it out on your own until then."
Abraxas just grows at her words, and they enter the Slytherin Dorm. "Hey, cheer up. Be positive. Best of luck.'' Rose tries to lighten his mood. ''Yeah, as you say so.''
With that, both parted ways and entered their respective dorms. Rose went inside and took a quick shower to freshen herself after the hectic day. She moved out of her dorm room meekly as it was past curfew and sneakily went outside.
On the other hand, Abraxas, on the other hand, opened the door and was welcomed by the piercing orbs of "Tom Marvalo Riddle".
"Abraxas, there you are. Where have you been? I have been waiting for you since one hour, "Tom replies, mockingly tilting his head to the left side. Abraxas whose hand was still on the door knob of the room, closed his eyes and sighed before replying dryly, ''Hospital wing''
Tom arched his brows and said, ''Is everything alright? Care to explain your bloodied shoulder? " "It's not mine," Abraxas says, shifting his gaze from Tom to his shoulder.
"Oh'' was the only thing Tom replied. he was about to say something but was cut off by Abraxas shaky voice, ''It's Isabella's.''
Abraxas looks up at Riddle to obtain some sort of reaction from him, but Riddle's occult already let him know his intentions, so he refrained himself. Tom noticed his bloodshot eyes as he spoke. "Are you alright, Abraxas? If it has escaped your notice, Tonight I have a meeting with you all.
Abraxas's shoulders dropped in disappointment as he looked down, sighing. He knows he can't let go of Tom easily. His mind was concerned for the vulnerable brunette in the hospital wing. He wanted to be near her. Hold her close and whisper sweet nothings to her for the vanishing of all the pain she is going through. But he also knew Riddle would find it annoying for his plans to be delayed for someone else, and he would end up harming her in a certain way.
Only if he knew how much the person in front of him had already hurt her. He sighed and closed his eyes. Isabella's teary eyes and broken moan of ''Abraxas...'' ran in front of his mind and through his ears as he lowly says, ''Let me freshen up first... Master...''
With that, he slowly moved towards the restroom to freshen himself. Tom didn't say anything as he just observed his dormmate's actions silently.
Once, Abraxas was out of his sight. He muttered ''Pathetic" '' under his breath and headed towards his nightstand to grab his dairy.
He was okay with everything going on. He said he did his best with the brunette but also knew he did his worst as she didn't deserve all this. But part of him was satisfied as nobody was there to mess with him or his mind as he just wants to rule the world.
