The Conquest of the Ember Heart | F! OC x S.S. x O.G. x G.W.

Falling into the honey pot

The unfamiliar surroundings I woke up in didn't exactly help me remember what the final moments of the night before were like.

The fact that I was wearing nothing under a Slytherin robe didn't help either. I looked around with blurred vision and a pounding head. In addition to the uncomfortable feeling in my chest, I had to realize that I was in an empty dormitory from another house.

The green curtains on the beds gave me a clue as to which house I must be in. Only the question of who owned the bed scared me a little.

„You are awake." Ominis was sitting in the emerald colored chair next to me, I startled and pulled the covers higher over my exposed body.

„What time is it?" I asked.

„About four in the morning"

„Did you bring me here? Ominis how did you find me?" I asked. He put his hand on my leg and struggled to answer. I knew he was angry and yet relieved.

„I had a nightmare where I saw you die. You were burning in the defense tower, laying on the floor and beneath you there was a puddle of blood" he sighed and buried his face in his left hand. The fact that I was on fire probably explained the lack of my clothes.

„That dream woke me up and I could still hear your voice screaming for me, so I made my way there as quickly as I could."

„Thank you" I said weakly. I wanted to know more, I wanted explanations as to why I had survived and why only a large vertical scar adorned my chest.

„Do you think it was easy for me to find you lying in a pool of blood while the surroundings smelled of scorched cloth? Unconscious and naked? Can you imagine how worried I was? What on earth happened to you? Who did this to you?" He growled angrily, clenching both of his hands into fists.

„Well, I don't remember" I tried to lie but it seemed to make him only angrier.

„I warn you, don't you lie to me again. I'll ask you one more time. What happend?" He gritted between his teeth.

I sighed deeply. Now I had to tell my secret much too soon. I had planned to wait before I tell him and Sebastian until I had forgotten how badly I had treated Anne. I was preparing myself, that my dearest friends would hate me, for a long time.

„I was at Anne's house and I gave her a choice, Either I healed her or I would kill her. I was unnecessary rude and angry with her. I don't know what got into me and I accept any imaginable punishment that you and Sebastian think is right" I explained.

He looked at me with mixed feelings. „What did she choose?" Only whispered words came out of his mouth. He was afraid, I might have killed one of his oldest friend.

„She chose life, so I healed her and absorbed her curse" I said and closed my eyes, leaning back into the pillow.

„How?" he asked.

„What do you mean?"

„How did you heal her? How are you alive? How come you are not under the curse?"

„I have ancient magic and it gives me the ability to absorb pain or curses. Making me stronger but it also makes me more dangerous and unstable"
