Darkness Of The Soul

Helena Ravenclaw

It has become darker and sky has become quite. In woods of Albenia footsteps are heard breaking the silence. A young lady kept running as far as she could. Her face was pale white with a beautiful crystal blue eyes,her clothes torn and dirty. Tired of running her eyes searching for a shelter to hide,her heart sobbing in guilt and regret and a crystal tiara which she tries to hide in her torn robes. After hours of searching she found a stream of water.
To her utter suprize a girl was sitting near the stream of water staring at the river silently. The lady reached near the girl and found her emotionless face.

"who are you girl? What are u doing in the woods at this time of evening? "the lady asked questionably.

The girl got shocked for a moment and then responded "I'm Rose I live in the village next to this wood but who are you"she asked back.

"I'm Helena Ravenclaw daughter of   R....... nevermind .what are u doing here at this time go back to home your mother must be worried" Helena advised her.

"I can't go my mother must be angry with me I lied to her I cheated her I can't go" tears came out of her eyes.

Helena was stunned for a moment then she replied with her trembling lips "sometimes you have to listen to ur parents scolding because there is always love hidden in there scold".

Rose looked at her in surprise " you don't know my mom gonna hate me ,you don't know what terrible work I did "

Helena replied in silence "you have no idea what I unforgivable sin I committed "but when she looked back the girl has vanished as though Helena was imagining it all. She looked around but to find no trace of the girl. She moved forward near a hallow tree and kept the diadem in it.
She heard a noise of heavy footprint

"who is it?" she took out her concealed wand,her heart was beating hard was it the girl again. "Don't try to hide u got no way to"said very heavy voice.
"Boron what are u doing here " Helena asked in surprise. "To find you of course, and take you back to Hogwarts "replied Baron"Madam Rowena Ravenclaw is sick and she wants to give u a last visit ".
"I can't go back"Helena replied "I can't"
"u have to my lady or I have to use force " Baron replied in a rough voice. Baron tried a lot to come with him but Helena was not confident and refuse to go back "I can't go I cheated her trust I stole her diadem to outshine her I don't deserve it go away Baron ".
Despite his countless effort she refused and it made Baron furious he thoughtlessly took out his dagger and stabbed Helena. Blood splashed everywhere staining the robes of Baron and when he came to realize what unforgivable mistake he has committed, the person he loved was being killed by him in this remorse he took the dagger and stabbed himself.

Night has become darker that it seemed. The two bodies lied on the ground lifeless. A soul emerged from the body.

It was pale grey and transparent. Helena looked at herself seeing that she didn't join the afterlife and is now stuck in this cursed land with remorse of her dids for eternity.

" NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! " she screamed and looked up to find another soul that of bloody baron almost sharing the same fate as her.

" look what u did baron u ended the heirchy of ravenclaw family I was last daughter of my bloodline u killed it for ur selfish desires " she screamed at him

Baron floated there with silence.

"no I'm not letting my heirchy my mother's bloodline fade like this " she looked at herself " if I ever did any good in this world i ask the stars to help me "

Looks like her good dids came useful to her. The northern star brightened and a beautiful woman came flying to her. She was a fairy.

" I have been summoned by ur good deeds " the blue fairy said " but I'm afraid I can not bring u back to life neither can I give ur mother life who is in her deathbed "

" I don't need my life save my mother's wish to see her family pls save our bloodline do whatever u can do " she said

" well there is something I can do but remember every magic comes with a prize" the blue fairy said

" anything " Helena begged

" I can put ur blood in flower of fertility which has so much fertility it can give a life to anything but it blooms once in a thousand yrs and luckily today is the day " she said " but in form to do that we need a part of ur soul it will lead to extreme pain even in ur ghost form "

"I'll do it" she agreed

Helena and blue fairy went to a mountain where the found the flower of fertility.
" are u ready Helena "
" ready always "
The blue fairy put the blood which she extracted from Helena's body and placed it in the flower and waved her wand.
The flower closed shining like sun. A ray of energy came from the flower and hit Helena as if it's sucking her soul out.
Helena screamed as she felt a part of her soul leaving but she finally understood the pain of a mother.

After some moment the flower bloomed back which contained a baby boy.
Helena looked at his innocent blue eyes. She smiled which was try to conceal her pain.

" I'll be taking the child to a safe family where he could be taken care of. And I myself will be his fairygodmother and will guide him" the blue fairy said " have u thought of any name? "

Helena nodded
" Rowan Ravenclaw "
