Bleeding Onto Parchment

Summary:

Credence Barebone has been dying, bleeding all of his life. It spills, onto parchment and paper, as a testament to the monster inside him.

Notes:

Saw Fantastic Beasts and I absolutely love Credence. I had to start writing something about it.

I do not own Fantastic Beasts, or the Harry Potter universe. All rights go to J.K. Rowling.

     When did you turn into a demon?
