************************************

- I will not stand for this! If you go with him, we are through.

- What?

MC would have expected that from anyone, but HIM. To place emotional threats, ultimatums, that was more Sebastian's style.

- Ominis, you are being silly – Sebastian tried to reason with him.

- You would think so, wouldn't you? – He was unusually inflexible- I have begged both of you to stop with your antics, to stop breaking the rules, but whenever a turn my back you two are galivanting through the forbidden forest. If it was only you, Sebastian, I wouldn't even bother. But she is my girlfriend, and she continues to place a lie on top of the other to cover for your dark arts!

- But this is not like that – MC touched his shoulder, but Ominis took a step back.

- It is not just the dark arts – he signed-.

MC did not expect this kind of situation. She looked at Sebastian for help but he didn't seem as rattled as she was. He seemed to be looking forward to the outcome.

- Are you saying you are jealous?

- Shouldn't I be? Whenever he calls for you, you leave me to go running for the next big adventure. I would have never, in a million years, admit it, but you two are making it impossible for me to keep my manners.

Never mind what she thought before. She did know that something like this was bound to happen. Ominis was not wrong in his accusations, but she would never do anything to hurt him.

- Nothing is going on between us if that is what you are implying -she wasn't upset, because she understood that every man had their limits-. He just needs my help, and would rather galivant the forbidden forest with him, than allow him to go by himself.

Ominis sneered.

- I stand by what I said. I will not put up with this any longer.

- Sebastian, help me out.

But when she turned around to look at him, Sebastian was waiting for an answer.

- Why aren't you saying anything?

- Because he is right – MC didn't seem to understand-, I already told Ominis that I confessed my feelings for you while we were looking for the relic.

Her face went pale. She looked at Ominis, only to witness his disappointment.

- Ominis I... I rejected him- she whispered.

- That is not the point – Sebastian got in between them-. I am in love with you, and rather than keeping your distance, you continue to follow me. You are confusing me, and I just needed a friend. Even if said friend smashed me against the walls of the common room for a good hour.

- So, you agree with Ominis that you should go by yourself?

- I agree with Ominis that you should decide. Are you coming with me, which I will take as a sign that have a chance..., or are staying with him.

MC looked at Ominis and his eyes were locked on hers. His breathing was awkward and controlled. He feared her answer. He didn't trust her. Perhaps never did.

She, on the other hand, felt as if she was being pushed to the edge of the stairs. It was an unpleasant situation to be accused of being a two-timing bitch, to be judged when she didn't do anything wrong.
