Apocalypse | Regulus Black

Sustain

(Hestia Pov)

I didn't want to go back to hogwarts. But I owed it to myself to finish.

After winter break I stood tall on that train. I a muggleborn knowing nothing of this world managed to get top grades and play on my house quidditch team.

I should have pride in that.

My man of stars had fed me to the wolves.

He stood as they teared apart my skin.

He laughed as I called out his name for help.

My man of stars was really a wolf in disguise as well.

I fell perfectly into his trap.

And now my legs are chained

My heart aches from all those shed tears.

And my own brain is taunting me for believing he was different.

I couldn't win this fight.

They used dark magic. Magic that I would never even touch

All I needed to do was survive a couple more months.

I hated Regulus Black. The way he still looked at me.

How dare he even look.

I wanted to slap him. I wanted to punch him across the face. I wanted to hex him.

I wanted to kiss him.

But he was greedy.

He saw the best of me.

I opened up my everything to him

And with his claws he pulled out everything inside of me.

Leaving me empty.

"I'm sorry" he blurted to me as I entered my room

"Ive told you once before, your empty words mean nothing to me" I opened my door

"I'm sorry Hestia." he moved closer to me

I couldn't even look him in the eyes.

For then i'd be a fool.

"You are nothing to me" I said with my head held high

"Okay youre everything to me"

"I have no more to give you Black, I have given you years of kindness, patience and comfort but I have no more to give"

"I'm sorry"

"SHUT UP" I was tired of hearing him say those words

"I never once asked for anything in return from you Regulus, but to treat me like you have this entire year. It's disgusting and unfair"

I noticed my eyes watering

"And I have no more to give you, the little that I do have I'm saving for myself" I wiped the tears falling down my eyes

"Goodbye Regulus" I opened my door

"Hestia i'm sorry"

In that instant I turned around and slapped him across the face

Then I kissed him.

He tasted like firewhiskey and felt like it too.

His lips on my lips.

His body on top of mine.

His hands in hair.

My fingers digging into his back

How I longed for him. As the wilted dead roses long for the spring heat.

With every stroke he lit the fire inside of me.

I felt as his hands burned me as he held the back of my neck

"I love you"

He said it to me.

He loved me.

He moaned it in my ear repeatedly

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

Goddesses were meant to be adore like this.

How us gryffindors adore the praise.

He laid in my bed afterwards. what a sight to see.

I stroked his hair as he slept

I saw his dark mark.

'If he's a serial killer.

Then what's the worst that can happened to a girl who's already hurt?

I'm already hurt.

If he's as bad as they say

Then I guess i'm cursed

Looking into his eyes

I think he's already hurt"

My man of stars who never had a choice.

"I love you Regulus" I said I honestly thought he was asleep

He looked up at me.

"Being loved by you has been my favorite thing on this earth"
