Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

I'm Sorry I almost Blasted You

(Athena)

I wake up and head to the showers, getting ready was the last thing I wanted to do. I was so tired from the night before. However I need to see Sebastian. I need to make sure he's doing okay.

I head to the common room, and I'm surprised to see Sebastian sitting on the couch reading.

I make my way over to him "Sebastian.....your okay?" I say hiccuping a cry and hugging him around his waist. "I was so incredibly worried about you! When did you get back? Are you okay? Oh Bash I'm so so so sorry for all of this."

Sebastian hugs me and listens to me vent. "Athena.." he says brushing hair off my face. "Thank you for helping me get back safely. I am feeling so much better, I just have a nasty scare but other then that I'm perfectly okay. Don't cry okay. I'm going to destroy that Professor though." He says angrily.

"Shall we head to the room of requirement before we start our day?" Sebastian says grabbing my hand.

We get to the room of requirement.

"I don't trust that man Athena, I really don't." Sebastian says closing the door.

"Nor do I Seb. What do we do?" I look at him with concern.

"His magic is strong, very strong. He knows how to use it. I do not want you around him." Sebastian says looking to the floor.

"Are you saying I don't know how to use my ancient magic?" Sounding stunned at Sebastian.

"what?" He looks me up in down with fury in his eyes.

"What. You don't think I can handle myself Sallow? Don't go getting yourself another detention because of me either."

Sebastian sighs "of course you can handle yourself I'm well aware of that, he has ancient magic and clearly knows how to use it."

I'm now furious "AND YOU THINK I DONT KNOW HOW TO USE IT?" Sparks of my magic fly a little. I close my eyes a little
"That was bad timing ..."

Sebastian doesn't move, he's not afraid but you can tell he's on edge "I think your learning how to use it Athena, you have done amazing at mastering it. However it is growing, as you have said. I'm afraid he's going to try and destroy you. I can't loose you Athena." He looks up at me desperately.

I start to feel my breathing normalize and my magic along with it.

"I have to go Sebastian.."

He grabs for my arm "where?"

I stare at him "let me go Sebastian, I literally almost just hurt you. I need to go relieve some of the pent-up aggression magic On sometime in the Forrest before I explode."

At that very moment the room of requirement started to shake and created another door.  It was a fireproof training area full of dummies and boxes.

Sebastian says "I love the room of requirements."

I close my eyes "if you don't leave this room in 5 seconds your probably going to get burnt."

Sebastian kisses my Cheek and rushes out of the room. The poor dummy got hit so hard it exploded all over the room.

When I'm finished, I feel a weight off my chest. Sebastian is sitting in his library area reading another book to find a curse. He doesn't even look up at from his book "are we feeling a little better?"

I don't say anything to him but sit by the fire.

Sebastian closes his book "my love, you can't give me the silent treatment forever?"

I stare daggers at him "Sebastian, I need to learn how to control this better. I almost really hurt you. You..." I say starting to feel panicked.

He kneels down next to me and hugs me "yeah that was bloody wicked, however, I'm not afraid of you. Not one bit. Even if you did hurt me I still would do everything in my power to make things okay. We do need to get your magic on track though."

I shake my head in agreement "I'll talk to Professor Hecat at some point this week when I have time."

I smile at him and we have our heads against eachother "I'm Sorry Athena, I never meant to upset you. I just need you to understand we cant HIM. Be cautious."

I kiss him "I'm sorry I almost blasted you with my wicked magic abilities." He smiles and we laugh for a moment.

He tugs at his watch at says "it's 830 shall we go get some breakfast before class? I'm very hungry."

"That is the best idea I've heard yet." I kiss his nose.

"Let's go!" Sebastian says with a smile and takes my hand.
