Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Oh Anne

(Sebastian)

I look around my dorm sweaty and panting. Another wicked dream... what is wrong with me?

Getting up from my bed and grabbing my bag and clothes I head to the bathroom to shower. I turn the shower on and immediately get into it, blistering cold water rushed down my skin. Droplet form and I catch my breath. I feel the heat finally kick on making chills run through my aching body.

We will go see Anne, then head out to find some way to save her. We have to save her.

My beautiful queen and I will find a way. We have to.

However, I can't shake the feeling that this won't be easy. Blood hell, it will be insane.

Are we made for doing this?

What if something happens to Athena? I don't know what I'll do. I will ruin this entire planet if anything happen to her. I will burn this everything to the ground.

Not only would I be losing Athena, but I would also lose Anne to....

That thought is way to much to bare right now.

Focus Sallow.

Focus.

Pull yourself together and go eat a good meal because you don't know when you'll be eating again.

I pull myself reluctantly out of the shower and get dressed for the day.

Heading into the common room I meet the gaze of my beautiful blue eyed beauty standing just feet away from me.

Her long blond hair reaching down her back, wearing her battle outfit which makes my knees buckle.

I'll be damned if I let anything happen to my queen.

"Are you ready?" She says reaching for my hand.

"I'm ready. Let's go get something to eat first." I say grabbing her hand but instead of walking away with her, I pull her in tightly and wrap myself around her waist nuzzling my nose in her neck, taking in her sweet smell. Lavender.

"Sebastian" she whispers playfully.

"You just look so beautiful in that outfit." I say into her neck giving her goosebumps.

She pulls away from me softly and says "let's go see Anne."

"Okay, I'm getting food first because I'm starving."

"You're always hungry Sebastian." She says rolling her eyes.

"How are you not always hungry?"

"Oh, I am, I just don't go about saying it all the time." She says with a laugh.

We head into the empty Great hall and I take in all its beauty. Trying to memorize the smallest of details. How the sunrise is captured on the ceiling of the Great Hall,  reflecting all of the colors collectively creating a silhouette of pinks, yellows, and blues. It's calming to watch as the sun gets more high.

"It's quite something..." Athena says reaching for my hand as we eat.

"I've never really notice how beautiful it really is in here...."

We both continue to eat and watch the sunrise on the ceiling.

"Anne...." I whisper seeing my sister laying so still and quiet. She looks more ghostly now with darker circles under her eyes. I collapse next to her sobbing. Taking her hand and kissing it soft.

I whisper in Anne's ear "we're going to save you Anne, hang in there just a little longer, okay? You're meant to be here with Ominis, and me. I will NOT loose my twin. Do you hear me?" I say sobbing again.

Ominis and Athena are in the corner talking and hugging. I can only imagine how Ominis feels... if this was Athena....

I wipe my eyes and hug Ominis. "We'll be back Ominis. I promise. We'll save her."

"No dark magic Sebastian. Promise Me. Anne doesn't want ANY dark magic. Promise me... both of you promise." He says looking at Athena and I.

"No dark magic Ominis." Athena says softly holding Anne's hand from across the room. Looking at Anne with a softness but determination, I can't quite place.

"I promise Ominis. No Dark magic." I say sternly.

"Athena, ready?" I say not wanting to look back at my sister.

She's immediately takes my hand.

We are off to our next adventure....
