He'll Regret It | Sebastian Sallow x Ominis Gaunt x Female MC

5

I decided to head to the Undercroft early, needing some time alone. Once I arrived I looked around, taking in my surroundings. I hadn't been there in a few months and for a second the events from last year felt fresh.

The last time I was down here was the last time Sebastian and I talked. I walked over to the triptych and pensive, brushing my hand around the bowl as the memory replayed.

"Please, Y/N. The repository would make you strong enough to do anything. You could heal Anne!" Sebastian begged, stepping closer to me.

"There's no telling what will happen if I do that. We don't even know if my body could handle that much power." I sighed in frustration, my hands in my hair and pulling.

"We'll figure it out before you take it." He said, reaching out to me.

"It could kill me, Sebastian!" He looked at me, trying to think of the right words to say, but I had enough. I turned around, my back now to him, and lowered my voice, realization finally hitting me. "You don't care."

"What? Of course I care, Y/N." He reached out to touch my shoulder and for once the contact didn't give me any good feelings.

I stepped away, hurt and angry. "No. You don't. You don't care who has to die as long as it isn't your sister."

He retracted his arm as I continued. "Solomon, me. You even betrayed Ominis. When will it end?"

"When Anne is-" He started, angrily.

I sighed loudly, placing my hands on the sides of the Pensive and leaning into the bowl slightly. "It will never end. When she's cured it'll be some other problem and you'll be completely on your own to solve it because I'll either be dead because of you or I'll finally done with being used."

"Used?" He seemed hurt at the accusation.

"I have done everything in my power for Anne. For you." I yelled the last bit. "I have been more than happy to help. But all you want is more. More than I can give. When have you ever reached out to me regarding anything but Anne?" He didn't answer. "Are we even friends, Sebastian?"

He paused before answering. "I guess not." He turned and left me alone in the Undercroft.

The memory angered me, but I felt tears start to stream down my face. "Fuck you, Sebastian. Fuck you for crucio'ing me. Fuck you for using me. Fuck you for leaving me. Fuck you for making me stupid enough to somehow love you, even still." I hit the sides of the bowl with every statement and sighed. "Just fuck you."

I leaned into the Pensive and let the tears fall. If they didn't now, they would later, and I couldn't risk that. I don't know if I was crying because I was still so angry or still so heartbroken.

After I don't even know how much time passed I found the strength to compose myself. I patted myself down and started pacing around as I waited for Ominis to arrive.

Shortly after I started pacing the metal clinking of the door started.

"Y/N?" Ominis called out as he entered.

"I'm here." I replied so he could come over to me.

"What's wrong?" He pulled me into a hug and heat rose to my cheeks as I thought about the events from earlier in the Great Hall.

"Just been a long day," I sighed into him, trying to shake it off. "It's harder to be around Sebastian than I thought it would be."

"I understand." He rubbed my back, but I could hear him hesitate to continue. "I've heard people talking. It seems you have the same affect on him, you know."
