A Troubled Time / Sebastian Sallow

Chapter 30

Lucy jumped up from her position, the raindrops that fell from the sky woke her up. She found herself scanning the area frantically. She saw the mound of dirt she had dug along with the rock she carved Lodgok's name into. The only thing that was missing was Sebastian. Her shoulders sank, realising he was nowhere to be seen.

"Must have been another dream." Lucy mumbled, rising to her feet as she wiped her face, wanting to get rid of the tears that stained her cheeks. She walked away from the grave she spent so much time at, taking one last look before heading towards the castle.

Lucy attempted to brush off the dirt and mud from her robes as she walked down the bridge, leading to the castle. She couldn't stop the haze that filled her mind the more time she spent there. She turned to her right, watching the owls depart from the Owlery, flying to who knows what destination.

"God, what is the horrid smell?" Lucy felt the annoyance as the voice spoke, turning her head towards the source.

"I really am not in the fucking mood, Gwendolyn." Lucy shook her head.

"You look like shit." Lydia scrunched her nose, looking her up and down in disgust.

"I feel like shit." Lucy shrugged her shoulders, Their words didn't phase nor hurt her anymore.

"God you are so infuriating." Lydia scoffed, glaring daggers at her.

"I guess someone is mad about Sebastian." Lucy rolled her eyes, remembering their little fiasco.

"How dare you." Allura scoffed, "You filthy mudblood! You have no right."

"Well this mudblood is going to her dorm, so if you don't mind." Lucy was attempting to move past the group of girls, but none of them budged.

Lucy prodded her tongue to her cheek, shoving past Gwendolyn and Lydia this time, making them stumble to the side.

"You bitch!" Lydia growled, grabbing Lucy's hair.

Lucy grabbed her own wand, pointing it right at Lydia's neck, "Get your fucking hands off of me." Lucy glared at her.

Gwendolyn let a smirk form on her face as she stepped forward, "And what are you going to do about it?"

"Oh please, you know any spell like this will cause immense harm." Lucy's eyes narrowed at the girl. With her wand pointed right at Lydia's neck, she knew any spell would knock the wind out of her, at the very least.

Gwendolyn let a smirk form on her face, slowly approaching the girl. Lucy could only watch. No matter how much she tried to free herself, she was unable to.

Gwendolyn stopped right next to her, pointed her own wand at Lucy's neck. Lucy clenched her jaw, dragging her eyes from her hand to her face.

"You're right about that." Gwendolyn let a dark laugh escape her lips, "I simple slice should do the trick. Dif-"

"Oscausi!" A voice yelled from in front of them. Lucy's eyes widened, seeing Gwendolyn's mouth completely disappear, stopping whatever she was about to say.

"Relashio." Lucy kept her wand pointed at Lydia. She felt the grip remove from her as she quickly stood upright, moving away from the group.

Lucy was shocked to see Sebastian with a hard glare on his face, looking at the three girls in front of him, "Sebastian?"

"Well, don't act surprised. I only ran to get you something warm so you wouldn't catch a cold. You wouldn't leave that spot no matter how hard I tried." Sebastian crossed his arms, looking at her.
