Dark New World || Sebastian Sallow

Fear and love

The next morning at breakfast Sebastian sat with Ominis at their house table, they took their seats towards the end and kept away from the other students as usual. "I'm telling you Sebastian I'll back you two up, but only because it's Lena." Ominis says in a whisper, Sebastian laughs. "We'll have to see, believe it or not, that's not all I'm interested in." He says while pushing the food around on his plate with his fork.

"I know that but you can't tell me you aren't slightly disappointed that I screwed your first time messing around with Lena." Ominis says while Imelda walks behind Sebastian and gasps. "Oh Sebastian you have a secret, don't you my friend?"  She says sitting down beside him. "Shhh, both of you! I don't need the whole school knowing, I didn't even need you.... Or you knowing." He says as he looks between the two, Imelda giggles. "Don't worry lover boy I won't tell a soul."

"Imelda what do you think of trying to sneak Lena in one day for Sebastian?" Ominis asks, with a grin. Sebastian rolls his eyes. "Hmmm you know we don't agree on a lot of things but I must admit... I like the sound of this idea." She says as she takes a bite of her food.

"I'll be honest, I think I should wait. Last night was exciting don't get me wrong but I want things to happen naturally." He explains. "Oh so he's more of a romantic, is that typical for Slytherin men?" She asks with a sarcastic undertone, Sebastian shakes his head with a grin. "So then does this mean you two are finally officially together?" She asks, Sebastian pauses for a moment. "I... I'm not very sure. We did say we loved eachother but we didn't officially agree on anything."

"Oh for the love of Merlin, Sebastian! Talk to her and make it official, there's no excuse now as to why you shouldn't." She says, shaking her head and giving him a you-better-get-your-shit-together look. "Alright, alright. I suppose you're right, I'll talk to her." He says as the three finish up the rest of their breakfast.

The day flew by as they were now in divination, their last class of the day. Lena sat in between Sebastian and Natty as they all took turns doing tarot readings. She was familiar with the practice and it eventually was one of the things she attempted to hide from her parents. As Natty shuffled the cards she felt Sebastian's hand glide onto her thigh under the table, their energy towards eachother shifted since last night but not necessarily in a bad way. It was more intense but also affectionate...

Lena couldn't get the thought of his gentle hands on her body and him saying "I'm in love with you" out of her mind. She replayed the moment over and over again in her head, wishing Ominis hadn't of came looking for them. "Okay are you ready for your reading?" Natty asks, Lena nods. "Uhm, sure." She shuffles until three cards fall face down onto the table, she flips them to see the devil in the middle, death on the left and the knight of swords on the right.

Natty pauses as she examines the cards.
"Hmmm... I advise you keep your wits about you in the days ahead." She begins, running her fingers along the table below the cards, landing on the Devil. "Something isn't quite right, there's a situation you will feel trapped in, like someone has put you in a box." she slides her finger over to the death card.

"I don't like the look of that card." Sebastian says, putting his arm around lena as he leans in to examine it better. "I'll be honest Sebastian this card is the best one out of all three, death signifies a rebirth, it's not always negative it can bring new beginnings but I worry this may be one of something bad. It feels like something is returning." She says, her brows drawing together as she examines the next card. "The knight of swords has me the most worried, this signifies a sudden violent danger ahead, one that is determined to not be stopped."

Lena looks down to the cards, wondering what this could mean. "It's Dawn, isn't it?" Sebastian asks with a concerned whisper, Natty and Lena look to eachother as Dawn sat on the other side of the room. Natty begins to shuffle again. Out falls the high priestess in reverse, Natty picks it up. "This indicates secrets, yes, and a betrayal... but something tells me that it's not exactly what you would expect." She says looking at the card that was shaded half black and half white with a wand wrapped in thorns in the middle. "Not everything is good nor is it bad, you have to make your own conclusions based off of what you learn."
