Time Warp (Alastor x OC)

Ch 61

Not sure what's going on in this drawing, ig y'all can fabricate a story for it on your own😂

Also, just gonna put this out there...Al is a "the only thing a period stops is a sentence" kinda guy. There. There's your warning. 🙂

Fawn's POV

I finally finished scrubbing the last of the dirt off my aching body.

The muck rinsed down the drain, and I watched it with a disgusted expression.

At least 30 minutes. It had taken at least 30 minutes to get all of that shit off of me, and out of my hair.

My hair especially, oh, it was caked into all of my hair. I'd never cursed my own hair out so much in my entire life, I was throwing words around that Alastor probably would've reprimanded me for had he been here.

I shut the water off with a heavy sigh, making sure I didn't leave any dirt in the tub itself as I watched the brownish water go down the drain.

When I stepped out of the shower, I winced at the discomfort in my leg. Alastor said he thinks I probably tore a muscle or something during the struggle.

Currently, he's out taking care of Mindy...hopefully burying her, like I'd asked.

But knowing him, there's no telling what he may actually be doing.

Slowly I limped my way out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around my body. God, I am so freaking tired...

My muscles thanked me as I sat down on the bed, then urged me to lay down. It took little convincing, and I laid down onto the soft pillows.

"Ugh, fuck..." I groaned, laying my arms over my eyes to block out the morning light.

The last few hours have felt like a complete fever dream. I hardly believe any of it actually happened at all, but the scrapes and aches are a pretty concrete reminder.

I blew a soft sigh from my nose, and realized that I was drifting off.

Happily, I accepted this, letting the darkness and quiet flood my consciousness.

"Sweetheart..."

Ugh...who's there...

"Sweetie..."

I could feel someone lightly shaking me, but I wasn't ready to open my eyes just yet. It feels so nice just to be asleep...

"Not yet..." I grumbled, half heartedly swiping away whoever was touching me.

There was a soft chuckle and then I felt a kiss against my forehead.

"Come on, get up...I've got something here that will make you feel better. It's a gift from Edith," the voice said, and slowly I recognized it as my boyfriend.

"Al...?" I grumbled, barely squinting my eyes open, "fuck...what time is it..."

"About midday, my darling. I let you sleep since you were so rudely interrupted this morning," he said.

My eyes snapped wide open.

"It's the afternoon?!" I nearly shouted as I shot upright, then promptly regretted that when my body screamed at me to take it slow.

I winced, putting my hand over my aching throat before I felt arms wrap around me to steady me.

"Woah, hey! Not so fast, baby, you'll hurt yourself..." he said worriedly, petting me gently and easing me into a sitting position.
