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

27

I held the aching pain in my stomach as I slowly opened my eyes. My head hurt almost as much as my wound and I brought my hand up to rest against my forehead as if that would help ease the pain.

My surroundings looked familiar, but my vision was hazy. I blinked a few times, trying to clear it as I sat up from the hard, cold ground. I was still in the Repository? How long had I been out? Where was everyone?

I tried to stand, but was too weak, falling forward on to my knees. I sat back, not knowing what to do. How was I alive? Last thing I remember was taking in the Repository and...

My eyes widened as I looked around for Alaric's body. Where was it? It should be right here. Right in front of me. I- I killed him. I know I did. So where was he?

"Y/N?"

Chills touched every inch of my skin as I slowly turned around to see who I knew was dead. Tears filled my eyes as I took in Professor Fig.

"F-Fig?" I cried out, covering my mouth with a hand as I steadied myself on the ground with my other.

"Are you alright? Let me help you up." He quickly walked over to me, reaching he hand out for me.

I hesitated, sobbing as I finally took it. I lifted myself from the ground, shaking as I stood before him.

"What's wrong, my girl? Are you hurt?" He furrowed his brows at my cries and held me close to him.

I sobbed into his chest, desperately grabbing at his clothes like he would disappear any second. "How are you here?"

A small laugh filled the air. His laugh. I cried more at the sound. "What do you mean? Did you hit your head?"

Did I-...? What was happening? "I- I don't know..."

"Let's get you to the Nurse." He spoke urgently, apparating us to the Hospital Wing. He guided me to a bed and I crawled into it, holding his hand. I would never let go of him again. He looked so confused, so worried.

A nurse I didn't recognize came over, looking me over a second before speaking. "If you hit your head it wasn't hard, there's no injury."

"Well then, what's going on in your head, Y/N?" Fig spoke softly.

"I- I don't know. You- you're-... I shou-" I stopped, tears streaming down my face. Am I dead? Is that why Fig is here? Oh, Merlin.

Fig reached his other hand out to me, petting my head as he tried to comfort me. After a minute the nurse sat next to me on the bed, pulling my head into her chest as I sobbed. I squeezed Fig's hand tightly, not willing to let go.

I didn't want to die. I wanted to live. Ominis...Sebastian... Why? Why couldn't I live? How cruel. To give me so much hope at escaping, living the life I wanted with the loves of my life only to violently rip it away from me. Now I was cursed to spend eternity without them.

What did I ever do so wrong to deserve this? Why didn't I deserve to be saved even after all my life I saved everyone around me? Why couldn't I be saved?

My heart ached as I wailed for what felt like hours. The nurse nodded against my head before gently prying herself out of my grasp. When she returned she handed me a vial containing a dark purple liquid. I wasn't sure of what it was, but took it from her and drank it without hesitation. Anything was better than this crushing feeling.

In only seconds I could barely keep my eyes open as I lost my balance, falling back into the bed. Fig held my hand tightly as I could no longer open my eyes.

"I don't understand what she's going through, but she's made it clear she doesn't want to go through it alone. I'm going to stay by her and we will sort it out together." Fig's soft voice filled my ears and I felt myself tearing up again at his words. I buried my face into my pillow and heard someone shuffle.
