Chapter 3: A Selfish Request

❀⬻❀⬻❀⬻❀⬻❀⬻❀

Weeks pass until finally a strong lead is found that will lead them to Rookwoods remaining gang. Having enjoyed every free moment they spent together, Ominis feels his heart crack at the idea of Beatrice and Patrick completing their mission and leaving.

As promised, when the apprentice is finallly found, Ominis steps forward and is the one who casts both curses on the man. The first forcing him to take on Annes curse himself, and the second killing him instantly. As soon as he lowers his wand and hears the body fall to the ground, Bee races to his side. Sobs escape her as she immediately regrets allowing him to do such a thing. It should have been me. She tells herself over and over. I should have never let him do this.

"It's okay." He whispers, gently placing a kiss on her forehead, earning eye rolls from the three others that discovered their not so secret relationship weeks ago. As his lips connect with her skin a wave of calm washes over her.

Pulling her arms around the man, she looks up into his eyes. "I should have done it. Not you."

"No." He sternly replies. "I would never allow that."

Hand in hand they head back to the hospital with Patrick while Sebastian and Hazel apparate to Feldcroft to see Anne. 

"Pat? Bee?" As soon as they open the hospital wing doors they are greeted with a weak but happy voice sitting up in bed.

"Tommy!" The twins shout in unison before running to their younger brothers side.

Still malnourished and weak from the years of suffering, but the pain is gone and the potions the nurse has already supplied are taking quick effect. "It worked." Bee whispers to herself as she watches her brothers embrace and talk.

"I'm so happy for you." Ominis moves beside her, wrapping an arm around to rest in the small of her back. "So I suppose now you'll be going home?" His words are like a bucket of ice water dumped on the moment as the realization of leaving this time, of leaving him, crashes over her.

"Yes... I suppose so." Is all she can say as her mind races. How can I possibly leave him?

Staying in the hospital wing, it only takes a few hours before Tommy is walking around on his own and wanting to get into trouble like any 7 year old would. "We'll leave tomorrow." Patrick states after returning from a conversation with the Nurse regarding Tommys health. "You'll need to get some rest tonight, Bee. We'll have Hazel take us down to the repository in the morning."

Unable to form words at the idea of them leaving so soon. Bee simply nods her head before leaving the wing consumed in her own thoughts.

Ominis quickly follows, the ache in his heart readying to split it in half, but he won't show that... no. He feels he needs to stay strong and respect her decision to return to her own time. All he can do now is try to absorb every moment they have left together.

Entering the Room of Requirement, they silently make their way over to their normal spots on the sofa before Bee releases a loud sob and crashes herself against him. "It's okay." He whispers while caressing her hair. "Its going to be okay."

She manages to squeak out a small. "No." between sobs as she pulls him into a tight embrace. Every ounce of her being feels as though its being torn apart when she thinks of leaving him. She so badly wants to ask him to come with her, just as he so badly wants to ask her to stay... but they both know it is a selfish request to ask the other to give up their entire lives for a love that is so new.
