The War Of Love ~ Regulus Black

Chapter 2

Once I reach my room, I pace back and forth, utterly bewildered at the words I had just heard.

Mission, Horcrux, Tomorrow.

My hands tremble, and nothing seems to be sitting tight in my brain. It feels like everything has been set off. Like a drunken haze, and yet I stand completely sober.

Odessa, I need her letter.

I need the letter

I fumble over my feet to reach over for the envelope under my mattress. My fingers work against themselves as I search through the envelope.

I try to make out the once-familiar cursive writing.

To my dearest sister, Mel-Rose Lawrence

As I sit and write you this letter, I hope it finds you well. My sweet, kind, and loving sister I have left you behind. I had gone to defeat what was of the Dark Lord, yet I couldn't. Thus I write this letter to you. Melly, my love for you is immeasurable. I want you to know I will always be there with you for every step of your journey, I may not physically be there. But somewhere stowed away deep inside your heart, I will always be. I know you can often best yourself. In those times, I want you to close your eyes and breathe deeply...

I take a trembling breath.

... Remember when I used to hold you tight in my arms.

I wrap my arms around myself mimicking what Odessa's soft embrace

Think of the times we spent together...

I shut my eyes tight and remember the times I was surrounded by my sister.

I hold the letter to my heart, as a sob erupts from my chest. I put my hand over my mouth to quiet myself.

The reality sinks in, the same person that killed my sister is the one I go on a mission for?

I tap the gold ring that Evan had given me. I wait a moment and it lights up in response, letting me know he will be here soon.

Not even 2 minutes later he barges into my room. He takes a look at me and cradles me into his arms.

" Oh Rosie," He says.

" What are we going to do Evan?" I choke out.

"You don't worry about that, Odessa told me to protect you. Thats exactly what I will do. Not only because she told me too, but because you're basically my sister Rosie. I'd do anything to protect you..." He says proudly.

"But a large portion of the reason was Odessa. She was scary as fuck." He adds.

I let out a shakey laugh.

"Thank you, Evan" I say genuinely.

"No problemo, Rosie Posie"

As the night goes on, I can say without doubt, I will bring justice to my sister. Tomorrow will hold challenges, but I will face them with pride.
