Sallow's house [5:00pm]

You sat at the table with Ominis. Sebastian and Anne.

Solomon had decided not to come back for the rest of the evening. and you were honestly happy to have less encounters with said man.

The interactions between you and Ominis felt colder than the air on the frozen black lake in winter.

He refused to acknowledge you or even talk to you, indifferent to your tries and attempts.

He kept silent the entire walk, and up to this very dreadful moment. in which you sat merely apart from each other at the table. but felt like the seas and the skies separated the both of you.

He felt like a stranger...making the pain in your heart grow more tremendously.

You wanted to leave terribly, but despite your lack of judgment you choose to sit here and suffer in silence.

It felt like something in him was pulling you beneath the surface now. consuming, haunting and confusing.

Leaving you shredded under the impression of everything will pass.

Or everything will turn out just okay!...how you hoped those silly thoughts would already consummate before you, right at this moment.

Thus the blood crawled in heat under your skin, fear gripping you. confusing the reality, that has befallen up on you. distracting you from the people that sat in front of you.

"Taiaineta I heard so much about you from Sebastian. He said you defeated a troll all on your own that's impressive" Anne's weak voice brought you back to reality. After being submerged into the depths of your dark thoughts.

Her dark eyes seemed darker with the dark circles that colored her pale skin. her weak smile tugged at your heart strings.

The poor thing did not deserve such a horridness fate.

It was not fair to Sebastian!...he had already lost his parents and now he was about to lose his sister.

What a ridicules play of fate!.

But then again you thought to the other matter that had been plaguing your mind repeatedly... Anne...and Ominis.

The mystery you have been trying to crack since he mentioned her name.

What exactly was he so nervous about, that he almost did not want you to come with them?...

"Oh you can call me Taia! I see Sebastian was talking quite a bit about me huh? Do tell what else did he ramble on about?" You teased looking towards Sebastian who was blushing slightly.

"Wow Sebastian!... I never saw you act so bashful before" Anne's voice teased him too. only to end up coughing right after as if in karma's favor.

Her once peaceful face, contracted into pain, and agony.

She clutched at her stomach in pain. causing Sebastian to get up from his seat, to rub her back gently. scooting the water glass closer to her form.

He looked defeated!, almost sad, and desperate. as he clutched hard at the table with his other hand.

The worst part to him was that he couldn't do anything else! nothing at all...He would give anything to turn this around, if he was given just a chance.
