The Red Halo: Outset

detective work

Selen was in her room in silence as it was the 3rd day after she saw (y/n)'s black hand meaning that learned black magic which scared her a lot. This would explain how (y/n) was able to push her like it was nothing despite the fact that he knows that (y/n) doesn't have any magic of any kind. She is a protector in training and one of her classes told her that anyone could learn black magic, including black magic and because of that, it has been reported that most people caught learning black magic are people who didn't have magic in the first place. Knowing what (y/n) has gone though, she doesn't doubt the idea that (y/n) would learn black magic so he could finally have magic. Though she still didn't know what to do exactly, should she tell someone or should she confront him about his wrong doing. She didn't know what to do at all, so she locked herself in her room in complete darkness trying to think of a possible answer to this situation. She was in her deep thoughts until she heard a knock at her door.

Elira: Selen! Are you okay?

Selen: yeah! Why wouldn't I be?

Elira: Well, you sort of locked yourself in your room and dad is getting worried about you.

Selen: Well don't worry I'm fine.

Elira: Are you sure? We're sisters, remember. If something bothers you then you can tell me.

Selen: Like I said Elira, nothing is bothering me.

Elira: Are you sure this isn't about that kid named (y/n) again because if he is bothering then just tell and I'll teach him a lesson.

Selen: Like I said Elira, nothing is bothering me.

Elira: Are you sure?

Selen: yes! I'm one hundred percent sure so just leave me alone.

Elira: okay then but if there is something bothering you then you can tell me.

Selen: don't worry, I will.

Then Selen heard her sister's footsteps walking away from her door. Once she did, Selen buried herself into her pillow as she still didn't know what to do in this situation, should she tell someone and risk (y/n)'s future or should she keep her mouth shut and hope for the best for (y/n). She didn't know what to do and her feelings weren't helping her at all. She thought about this long and hard and came to the conclusion that she needed to tell someone for the safety of not only (y/n)'s mental health but for the others around him. So she picked up her phone and dialed 911 to call VFS officers.

Selen: sorry (y/n), but is for the greater good for your health.

Time skip

It was the next day, (y/n) was in his bed having trouble sleeping again, this time he couldn't even close his eyes, the side effects of black magic were obviously getting worse by the hours. Chei hasn't given him an answer yet whether he could get a pure holy white gem for him and for (y/n), every second started to feel like an hour. (y/n) felt like he was losing his own mind every time he thought of something, every time he thought about the night where the thugs tried to rob him for his money, to think they were desperate for money they would end up trying to steal from others. He couldn't forget about it no matter how hard he tried. (y/n) started to scratch himself even more as he felt the itch was getting worse. Both of his hands were fully covered in black and now the black veins have reached his stomach. While this was all happening, (y/n) felt like he was going to war with own emotion arguing about whether it was right thing to do to learn black magic to take the magic of the VFS officer and the thugs.

(y/n): i hate this, i fucking hate this. Why did I think this was a good idea, why would I ever think this was a good idea in the first place. I can't sleep nor can I stop scratching myself. This wasn't fucking worth it.
