Forgotten past

42

Once I returned to my room I was quite literally scared to step outside after my encounter with mead and venable I mean fuck I was even scared to see Michael. I felt so uneasy... I wanted to confront Gallant on his pathetic lies clearly told out of spite.

I sat right in my room. Mallory came knocking a few hours later "Corelena?"
"Yeah Mallory come in." I say.
She comes in but she looked shattered and shaken up as she trembled holding the fresh towels in her hand. Her face was white as a sheet.

I quickly tended to her taking the towels from her and guiding her to my bed.
"Mallory what's wrong?!"
"I-I ugh this is going to sound crazy."
I gulp... I had an incling of what might come next.
"Nothings going to sound crazy to me Mallory we're ina. God damn apocalypse. Talk to me you can trust me."

She shifts a little looking into my eyes, she seemed to trust me.
"I had my interview with langdon... he was asking me things and I just felt this screaming from inside trapped like something was trying to escape. I'm so confused I feel like I don't know who or what I am anymore. But then I-I...."
"Go on Mallory"
"I somehow did something to the fireplace with I don't know like my mind my emotions? Something triggered inside of me, and langdon he changed he was inhumane this pale face a-and..."
I hush her as I wrap my arm around her.

"It's okay Mallory."
"Do you believe me?"
"Off course I believe you"
"What's wrong with me what am I? What is he?"
This was the hardest thing ever I desperately wanted to engulf her and bring my old Mallory back.

"Mallory there are special people in this world and you are one of them. Your not alone."
She moves back a little getting a good look at my face tilting her head in confusion and dismay.
"I-I don't under.."
I lift my hand allowing the candle from the bedside table to swoop right into my hand with my magic as it lands in my hand I blow out the flame and tuen to Mallory with a small smile.

"Your not alone Mallory."
At first she looked completely spooked.
"I can help you." I say placing the candle back on the table and take her hands in mine.
"O-okay" She stutters.

"But this stays between me and you Mallory."
"But what's bout langdon, that face. I felt the evil radiating from him corelena."
I clasp her hands tighter in mine.
"He-."
Knock knock.
"Mallory! Come on you need to get my costume ready!" Coco yells from outside.

"Costume?" I ask in confusion.
"Ugh some hallows eve ball, some bullshit event ms venebale sees as a treat. I have to go." Her hand slip out of mine as she stands tending to coco.

"Thank you." She whispers before leaving.
Well I'm guessing I don't get an invite to the ball...

I make my way to my bathroom as I run the bath the knobs squeaking as I turn them. A flash of my failed attempt of ending my life flashed right before me just looking at the bath. I shuddered running my hand over my hair and staring at myself in the mirror.

I didn't even know who or what I was anymore. What was my purpose. I had officially given my self away my soul was locked and devoured by a dark lord and now property of an antichrist. But my morals kept fighting against me the battle inside was never ending. It all comes down to one thing. Michael langdon.

I love him.

And it was no coincidence my powers were darker and uncontrollable. I stare at my self in the mirror my hand still tangled in my hair.
A dark mist manifested behind me I couldn't take my eyes off it as I watch it in the mirror.

'Finis proditone flammis reverti'
I flinched looking around me manically in the bathroom my eyes fled to the bath the running water growing a deep crimson red I yelped covering my mouth as I backed away trembling until my back met a hard surface.

The hands snakes around me shoulders whipping me round as my face met langdon icy eyes and devilish smirk.
"Finis proditone flammis reverti." He repeats the words.
"It's a warning lena no turning back. Betrayal ends in flames."

My eyes scatter around his face in fear searching for some condolence. A warning from his farther? He could sense my weakness my moral code.

Michael pulls me into him as I still tremble he pulls me out of the bathroom.
"Listen, tonight venebale is going to massacre the outpost at their little 'party' I need you to lock yourself away in here understood. They will come for me first." I was trying to take in what he was saying but it was all so much.

"You mean everyone?" My thoughts wondered to Mallory and coco.
"Stay here lena. Understood?"
"Wait" I say before he can leave.
"Finis proditone flammis reverti"i say as I look down to the ground.

He smirks "one would think your conspiring against me angel?" His tone sinister as he steps closer his hand clenching my cheeks in one hand. He Timor's his head nearing his lips to mine.
"But that would never happen would it miss woods."
I gulp nodding at him before he tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. And leaves the room.
