chapter thirteen - anxious

My mind relaxed and I was finally able to stand up, I looked around and everyone had froze. My eyes led to Sebastian and he held a worrying expression.

I didn't know what to do in that moment so I just ran out the classroom and headed straight for the Undercroft.

As I entered, I dropped myself to the floor. Memories came flooding back of when I had witnessed Professor Fig die.

It's true, he would have been so disappointed in me. But, the power that the repository held, it could help so many people. Even after seeing Isidora's memories, I told myself I wouldn't lose myself in such power.

But, it seems as if I already am.

Since being back, it's been hell. Not only that, Leander Prewett remains in an unconscious state, what is going to happen when he wakes up? Will he remember? Everything is all over the place.

Just then, I heard two voices speak.

Ominis and Sebastian.

''Is she here?'' Sebastian's low voice spoke.

''Sebastian I think you forget that I cannot see.''

I hid myself. I would prefer to be left alone at the moment, especially with the state I'm in.

All I heard was shuffles and then silence.

They left.

My eyes opened and I realised that once again, I fell asleep down here. I quickly made my exit and I realised that it was the middle of the night.

I didn't feel like going back to my dorm so I exited the castle, a bit of fresh air would do me good.

After leaving the castle, heavy rain shot down from the sky.

While I was practically freezing, I didn't care. The rain was peaceful, all I could do in that moment was smile.

I noticed a bench nearby so I walked towards it and sat down.

I admired the pleasing scenery around me, this whole place really is breathtaking.

Despite the calming air around me, my mind kept leading itself to memories I wish would bury.

My chest tightened, why must this all happen to me.

Why could my life just had remained normal, I hung my head low as my vision became misty.

Tears kept falling from my eyes. A part of me wishes I never had this ancient magic but another side of me is glad to.

I could have been normal like everyone else, no worries in the world.

On the other hand, this magic can be used for good. I could help so many people.

As I was bawling my eyes out, I heard a shuffle.

''Y/N?'' A quiet voice spoke.

I looked up and it was Adonis.
