Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Happy Birthday (small spice warning)

(Small Spice warning at the end Yall)

(Athena)

Sebastian and I are standing in front of a cute little house, it's definitely a fixer upper.  It's almost exactly like the one I saw in my dream. I looked around to see that I front of a house stood a small cliff keeping the house private. The house stood on much land, own it's on. Overlooking the coast of water. The house sits on a cliff far enough so that water would never reach them.

"Wow..." I say completely stunned at the view. "This is so beautiful." I say looking at Sebastian who is also standing there looking at me shaking his head in agreement.

Knock

We see Ominis as he opens the door. "It's about bloody time you two showed up." He says smirking at us.

"Ominis!" I say hugging him immediately. Being at school without Ominis was a little depressing, for both Sebastian and I. I missed them Pickering about silly things making me laugh every five minutes.

"Athena, happy birthday dear. Come on it!" He says happily letting me go inside.

"Athena!" I hear a voice from inside and follow it. I walk down the hallway and into the living room where the view of the ocean is so incredibly beautiful. I look over to see Anne cuddled up with a book in a armchair by the fire

"Athena Darling!" Anne says enthusiasticly.

"Don't get up Anne I'll come to you!" I say rushing over to her and giving her a soft hug trying to not break hear bones. "How are you feeling" I say kneeling next to her.

"Oh Athena, you know I'm doing amazing thank you for asking." The darken circles under her eyes tell me otherwise. She's starting to look thin again. "I have something for you!" She says reaching in her seat pulling out a wrapped box. "Happy birthday Athena!" She says smiling.

I didn't notice that Sebastian came in until he was practically tripping over me to get to Anne. I get up and let them have a moment holding the small gift in my hands. I put it in my pocket, I shall open with Anne later.

Once Sebastian is done hugging his sister, Ominis shows around the small house. "You two can stay in the spare bedroom, it's not much right now... but we're making due with what we have." Ominis says straightening up and smiling confidently.

I take Ominis hand and say "it's beautiful, you've given Anne such an beautiful life."

Ominis smile grows even bigger "thank you Athena, she deserve a beautiful life. Always."

I let go of his hand "and thank you for letting us stay with you this weekend! We sure have missed you."

Sebastian had brought our bags in. "That we have mate." He says passing Ominis.

"We'll you two get comfortable, Anne and I have already made dinner. So just come out whenever your ready." Ominis says winking at Sebastian.

I pull the small gift Anne gave me from my pocket and set it down on the table next the bed.

"What do you have there?" Sebastian says looking at me curiously.

"Anne gave it to me when I came in... I havent opened it yet." I say looking at it.

"Well.... What are you waiting for?" He says looking at me radiantly.

"I thought I'd open it with Anne..."

"Just open it..."

I sigh.

I take the small box and unwrap it carefully.
