Time Warp (Alastor x OC)

Ch 45

Música :3

I know you guys like my art (or at least I hope you do, lol) but I also like sharing my favorite songs with you all. This band in particular (STARSET) is my favorite band and has been since I was about 11 or 12 so for about 8 years lol.

Who's your favorite band?

Fawn's POV

I couldn't hardly think straight. The walls passed me in a blur as I made my way through the hallway and back to the office.

The air felt like it was made of lead, I couldn't seem to take a proper breath.

Stumbling over my own feet, I fell into a wall and my hand slapped against it to hold myself up.

I took that moment to pause. My chest heaved and a cold, anxious sweat covered the back of my neck.

Did Alastor do that...he wouldn't...but he's a killer, he's the only killer, there's no one else it could be...

Tears welled up behind my eyes and I continued walking, finally breaching the office. It was dark, and I could tell the studio was starting to wind down like it normally does around this hour.

Making my way over to a window, I took deep breaths to try and stop the wave of tears that wanted to spill down my cheeks. The window was already cracked, giving me a bit of fresh air to breath in.

I closed my eyes, taking in gulp after gulp of this wonderful air, feeling like it's the first time I've breathed in a decade.

But even with that, each exhale I released came shaky. My knuckles turned white because I had my fists balled on the pane of this window.

How could you...?

My lip quivered as I thought about that poor girl.

Nineteen...

And those injuries...what was he thinking?

What did he do to her?

The tears finally slipped, streaking my face. Quickly, I wiped them away.

"Fawn, dear?"

I jumped at the sound of a familiar voice. Not the voice I was expecting...but familiar nonetheless.

Spinning around, I faced Tom. He actually wasn't smiling, and looked rather concerned.

The look only got worse when he saw the tear tracks on my cheeks.

I sniffled, keeping my distance from him. I'm not sure if I want anyone near me right now...I want my mama...she would be able to fix this...

"Um...darling are you alright? I apologize, I didn't know you knew her personally..."

My gaze followed him as he cautiously came closer, but he wisely stopped at a reasonable distance.

Shaking my head, I sniffled again, "I-I didn't, I just..." my voice croaked slightly and I bit my lip, my eyes falling to the floor, "I met her just the other day, and it's just..."

My eyes screwed shut as I shook my head, more tears flowing down my face. This time, I just let them.

"Oh..." Tom said, his voice sounding a bit somber, "yes...those who had the pleasure to meet miss Tilly, myself included, it's not very easy news to take."

I opened my eyes and looked up at him.

He gave me a soft smile, "she was truly a wonderful little ball of joy. Why, she was my favorite waitress at that quaint diner!" He chuckled.
