Evening came rather fast. Garreth and Sebastian had came and left and still there was no sign of Ominis anywhere.

You had asked Sebastian where was Ominis, but he didn't possess the information to his whereabouts.

You sighed as you watched the sun set from the window. gloominess taking over you as you missed the blond boy.

"Why are pouting like that? you look like a duck!" Dante spoke as he opened his curtains, finally able to talk to you after you shut him off all day.

"I'm not pouting, your eyesight must have gotten damaged like your bones" You retorted with sass, watching him snicker as he got up from his bed and walked over to yours gracefully, disregarding his own injuries.

"Oh please no need to be sassy, I'm merely concerned for your well being" He said as he sat at the foot of your bed.

You eyed him uncomfortably, wondering how easy it was for him to invade your personal space without injunction. Your hand slowly reaching for your wand that sat idly cold on the table next to you. In case you needed to depulso him at any given interjection.

He smirked watching your hand movement with glee. He then traced his eyes to yours, holding them in a captivating stare, almost daring you to move your wand in his direction.

His green emeralds held a somewhat knowing look, as he stared at your hand gripping the wand until your knuckles turned white. His eyebrow rose slightly when he saw your hand shake almost unnoticeably as you tried to steady your wand in a grip.

The smirk soon turning into a sad smile. realizing the reason you were at the hospital wing to begin with, had to do with how groggy you were acting. or how injured and scuffed up you had been the last couple of days.

He had heard Imelda say something about you almost losing your life. You being a topic him and his sister, were almost forbidden to speak of according to their mother. And yet he found himself yearning to get to know you more.

For him defying his mother was one of his favorite hobbies after all. But the urge to get to know you trampled all over that at this moment. He hated seeing you in pain, he hated how weak you were, especially coming from a family full of strong wizards and witches.

Yes...Witches, just how much did you know about your family's past?

He wondered, as he saw your blue eyes harden in anticipation for his next move. Your body tensing up with worry as he made you feel nervous.

"Trust me, if you knew who I was you wouldn't do that, I mean you no harm. I'm simply curious about you!" He introjected, his hand reaching over to your hair almost touching it before you slapped it away ready to retort another smart remark but was interrupted shortly before you started.

"I'm sure my betrothed wishes not to be bothered at this moment Reyes! Get.away.from.her!" Ominis's seething roar came loud from the door.

His immaculate hearing serving him well at such a crucial moment. as he made his way with a tantalizing danger.
