Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Get Out(Trigger Warning)

⚠️ Big ⚠️ Trigger ⚠️ Warning ⚠️

(Athena)

Once Salis left I was left in the cold dark room, left to my thoughts.

At some point I must of slipped into a sleep full of nightmares.

"Wake up!" I hear as I feel water being dumped all over me.

I look up to see a wizard holding a bucket in the air with his wand.

Shivering a I move slightly to look up at the wizard.

"The master told me I must give you this" he says throwing a piece of bread on the dirty floor.

I just stare at the wizard menacingly.

"Eat up honey, that's all your getting today."

'Tossier' I think to myself.

I don't move a muscle.

The wizard chuckles and looks me up and down before leaving the room.

As hungry and I am, I won't dare touch that food. Merlin only know what's they put In it. I'd rather starve then take anything they have to offer me.

All of a sudden I feel a wave of nausea sweep over me. I book it to the other side of the room just In time.

Merlin's beard what the bloody hell.....

Wait am I pregnant? Is that why I can't use my ancient magic....

Oh Merlin I have to get out of here....

My heart starts to race looking around the now dimly lite room.

It is a round brick room, concrete floor, as I look at the ceiling I notice it's snapped in a pointed oval formation.... I must be in a tower somewhere.

I shouldn't rely so heavily on my ancient magic... but without a wand I'm powerless. Completely powerless.

I sit on the floor shaking, feeling powerless and more alone than I have ever felt in my life. I feel like my world is crumping beneath my feet.

The door opens and I hear Mrs. Sweetings voice. "Awwwwe the young girl is wet and cold.... Pooor thiiiing...." She says sarcastically. "No wand, no magic.... Tsk tsk tsk...."

I look up at her with rage in my eyes.

"What is poor Athena to do? Mmm? Ohh you know, I think I have a great idea!"

'Crucio!'

She laughs hysterically, and I groan on the floor feeling more nauseous then I did before.

I keep trying to focus my Inner magic to prevent her from using Crucio on me, but nothing is working. It's like all my training has slipped through the very small window 12 feet above me.

"Okay, perfect, now that we got you set up for the day, let's bring in the boy shall we?" Alfred Magnolias says walking into the room clapping his hands together happily.

I see my brother for the first time in months. He has grown quite a bit growing a few inches taller and his hair is now in his eyes.

"Andrew" I whimper feeling the tears in my eyes.

He looks beaten, eyes swollen almost completely shut, black/violet/green mark spread around his cheek bone. They throw him next to me and I reach for him.

"crucio" Mrs. Sweeting curses my brother.

His screams
The pain

"Andrew!" Shout throwing my body over him.

I look at Mrs. Sweeting dead in the eye. "Cast it again, you'll regret it." I spit at her maliciously.

Mrs. Sweeting smiles sweetly at me "oh, I like you. She does have a temper on her, little, itty, bitty, Athena. Finally throwing threats." She says with a laugh.

I look at Andrew and whisper "it'll be okay. Please trust me."

"Athena Johnson, and Andrew Johnson. The Johnsons. Now orphans how dreadful. It looks like you two have a noble cause and having you two on our side, seems like your only option." Alfred says with a chilling smile.

"You kill our parents and then tell us to join you?" Andrew says viciously.

For only being 12 he really is brave. No wonder he is in Gryffindor.

Eye wide I shake my head no to my brother to stop him from further damage. He rolls his eyes at me. Making me more nervous.

"Your brother has a temper to him to I see. We'll have to change that, won't we?" Alfred says putting his hands behind his back and walking to the door. "Salis, please come in here."

I watch Salis walk in the room with his head down, just looking straight at the floor.

"Salis, please hold Athena down while we take care of this little brat." Alfred says halfway out the door. "Mrs. Sweeting, you have the floor dear." Walking completely out of the room.

I look at Salis pleading with my eyes not to do this. He forcefully grabs my arms and holds me back. "No!" I shout watching as Mrs. Sweeting tortures my little brother.

"STOP, PLEASE!" I shout tears running down my face, trying so hard to get away from Salis.

"I'll do anything, just please stop!" I beg her.

'Avada Kedavra'

Green

I scream.

My brother...

Salis Drops me my arms looking stunned.

"Why Would You DO That?" He shouts at her.

I run over to him and steal his wand not thinking twice about my next move.

"Avada Kedavra" I shout at her watching the glow from her eyes vanish.

"Run." Salis says.

I look at my brothers lifeless body.

"NOW!" Salis shouts.

I put the disillusionment charm on and I run.

I run as far as I can.

Breathing heavy and fast, I dodge every person I see.

There's no way to get around all of these people... I'm just going to have to fight.

I petrify all the people I can until someone notices me.

"SHES HERE!" They shout warning the other people by the gate who come charging in my direction.

'Confringo!'
'Bombarda'
'Depulso'
'Glacius'
'Confringo!'

And then I hear him.

I look over and see Sebastian Sallow casting

'Confringo!'

Taking out Mutiple people at a time.

We work together until he finally reaches me.

Takes my hand.

And me apparate to Anne and Ominis's house.
