The Weird Sisters x Fem!Spellman Reader: Six Pills
Summary: You are Sabrina's older sister and instead of Sabrina being the one refusing to sign her name and being the cause of the events afterwards, it's you instead. Set a few months after the Church of Lilith has been established, you haven't been doing too well and with how busy your family has been in cleaning your messes, you mainly tried to stay out of trouble and avoid everyone as much as you could, wandering around the woods and backroads of Greendale...and on one occasion you meet a kind stranger...with less than noble intentions when he offers you something to help with the pain...
Warning: Drug Addiction, Withdrawal Symptoms, Allusions to Character Death (Not really you're just unconscious)
You stared up at the ceiling of the infirmary of the Academy of Unseen Arts, eyes unseeing as you lay down in one of the beds, barely registering the sounds of frantic arguing and panicked questions fluttering around you as you heard your Aunts, Ambrose, Nick and Lilith and the Weird Sisters talking loudly trying to figure out what was wrong with you, the Sister's having found you collapsed in the entrance hall of the school, unconscious and shivering.
Sabrina was holding onto your left hand tightly, and you felt her eyes on you, counting your breaths, assuring herself you were still breathing, you could hear the frustration in your Aunt Zelda’s voice but also the fear as she just didn’t know what was wrong nor did your Aunt Hilda or Ambrose or any of those surrounding your bed.
You couldn’t help but relish having your Aunts, older cousin/brother and your sister near you, though the fact Prudence, Agatha and Dorcas were also present made your heart flutter which was the sodding reason why you were in this mess in the first place. Your head turned to the side and then you spotted that damned bottle filled with those damn pills that left you reduced to this, someone had taken it out of your pockets as you were laid down on the bed.
You struggled to sit up, catching your head in your hands making the others snap in your direction as they watched for a moment as your eyes darted around the room as though trying to make sense of what you were seeing. You struggled to get your thoughts straight then as though finally you had gathered the strength to explain your latest mistake once more…seemed to be the only thing you could make these days as a merciless, self-hating smile spread across your face as your broken mind pulled into being the song you had come up with on one of your...trips.
You gazed directly at Nick and urged your best friend and sister’s boyfriend to listen which he did sitting on your bed and held your free hand, urging you to use him and Sabrina as a way to anchor you to the present. And so, you sang:
“In the woods I met a man.
Old as oak and staff in hand
Sunken eyes but gentle smile
We sat down and talked awhile”.
Lilith’s eyes narrowed at the description of the man but said nothing as you continued.
“And he said I can see it in your eyes.
You've been hurt a couple times.
I've got the perfect antidote.
Tiny red pills in a big blue bottle”
Your Aunts and Ambrose flinched at the comment of having a heart of stone while Lilith’s eyes narrowed onto the blue bottle of pills, an uneasy feeling in her chest began building in her chest.
“He put them right in my hands.
Said this stuff can do wonders take you to Nirvana.
You smiled mirthless, your eyes straying to Agatha, your eyes on her neck exactly where you had slit her throat and once more the guilt began building in your chest and stomach making you pull your hands out of Sabrina’s and Nick’s clutching your chest shaking your head, your eyes closed tight but you kept singing, your tone irritated in the next two lines but shifting to numb as you continued.
“I should've known something was amiss.
When I saw his smile turn to a grin
You ticked off on your fingers, your eyes opening and staring directly into Ambrose's telling him to focus on what you were about to say…
Three to clear your mind.
Not more than prescribed.
You ticked them off on your fingers again just as the old man did for you and what you recited on your way home.
Three to clear your mind.
Not more than prescribed.
You sighed and shook your head angrily at yourself, your drugged and messed up mind repeating that you should have shown the pills to your Aunts or Ambrose when you got home but you didn’t.
Didn't know just what to do.
After all what could I lose”
You shrugged, a bitter tone on the last line but lightened with the next your eyes shining with childlike innocence.
“And then I touched the clouds and bathed in sky.
A magic broom a carpet ride
Before I fell and woke in bed”
You struggled as though acting out what you did yourself on that day, finding it hard to remember what he said.
“Tried to repeat the words he said.
You shrugged your bright usual happy smile back again at the thought of being fine making your Aunts and Ambrose flinch at the confirmation you weren’t fine, while Sabrina and Nick tightened their hold on your hands. The Sister's reaction however shocked you as Dorcas had visible tears in her eyes though they didn’t fall while the tightness around Agatha’s eyes and her clenched fists said plenty, Prudence’s eyes were filled with protective rage and promise of vengeance on the one who made you like this, as her lips tightened near turning them white even through her dark lipstick.
You scratched your head looking up as you tried to remember the number of pills the man said you should take but shrugged as if it didn’t matter and continued, your expression going dark and you pulled a knee to your chest.
“Tiny red pills in a big blue bottle
Wish I had the strength back then.
Need to get a refill chase away the evil
All the whispers in my head”
You shook your head once more, your hands going to your ears as you shook it again as though trying to make the whispers going away.
“But I can't find the man I knocked on his door.
His neighbours say no one lived there before.
You sat back in despair, perplexed at the fact the man didn’t exist but merely confirming Lilith’s suspicions but she waited till the end just to be sure.
Your body broke out into chills.
You clutched at your chest, the pain and guilt surging through your body.
You flashback through everything, you’d done that put your family and the girls you loved in danger all because you couldn’t leave well enough alone.
Your eyes darted everywhere before zeroing in on that blue bottle and you sprang for it only to be caught by Ambrose and Nick as they held you up while you struggled to try to get to the bottle needing the words and murmurs in your head to quiet down all the while you sang desperately.
“One to stop the chills”.
Your body once more broke into chills.
You clutched your chest above your heart.
“Three to wash my guilt”.
Your eyes darted to Agatha again, hers, Prudence and Dorcas eyes widening along with Ambrose, Nick’s and Sabrina’s as they realised what you were referring to.
Tears began tracking down your face a broken smile on it as you doubled over once more the two boys picking you up and laying you on your bed as they all watched in suffering as your activeness wore you down you murmured the last few words.
Your head rested on a pillow your eyes connecting with each person as you counted.
With the last number, your eyes met the Sisters, a small sweet smile on your face as you somehow gazed into the three of them at once your view began to darken and as everything faded to black you barely managed to get out the last three words:…. “I love you”.
