Prince In Darkness Sebastian Sallow

Chapter 2: No One

*Song I listed to for this chapter!! Enjoy!!!! Only Love Can Hurt Like This By Paloma Faith (slowed and reverb),

Anne's worried eyes fled between me and Ominis simultaneously. Watching as the muscles in her cheeks hardened as she tried figuring out what was going on. 

"OMINIS!!! TELL HER NOW!!!!" I screamed, taking a step towards him. Watching him move towards the other side of the counter. Looking for support. 

Anne clutched her chest, waiting for the worst as the worriedness flooded her eyes.

"Alora-" He said. 

I advanced him, tired of his fucking lies and wanting him to spread the truth.

"ALORA! I DIDN'T DO IT, OKAY?!" He screamed.

I stopped in my tracks, seeing the tears finally flood his white orbs.

He stood straighter, coming to stand in front of me as he gritted his teeth.

"Ominis-" Anne said softly.

"HOW DARE YOU-"

"ALORA I DIDN'T DO IT, I DIDN'T TURN HIM IN-" Ominis yelled.

"YOU FUCKING LIAR!"

Ominis scoffed, throwing his hands up in the air in disbelief.

"WHY! Why for any fucking reason would I lie to you Alora! I didn't do it, I didn't turn him in!"

"LIAR!!!!" I screamed, tears dripping down my face. 

"STOP IT!!!!" Anne yelled.

Anne's abruptness caused me and Ominis to both look at her, stopping the argument between the two of us.

"THIS ISN'T HELPING!!!" Anne yelled. 

I breathed deeply, seeing red as I faced Ominis. Too upset to even listen to her. 

"I don't believe you......... I don't believe a single fucking word you said. You held me back from him, you almost didn't let me say goodbye, you didn't shed A SINGLE FUCKING TEAR!!!"

Silence fell in between the three of us, the sniffles, the tears and sobs me and Anne both shared as Ominis just stood their quietly, his eyes looking directly at the floor. Not saying a single word.

"You.......... you don't care he's gone. He's gone............ he's really gone............and you-.....you fucking are just standing there with nothing to say!! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO NOT THINK IT WASN'T YOU OMINIS!!!"

Ominis hands curled into fist finally, coming to stand in front of me. His white orbs sinking into me. Hearing Anne take a step forward, pulling out her wand as if she was going to need to defend herself.

"You have no idea internally what I'm dealing with right now Alora.... how fucking dare you. How dare you say I don't care when I literally put EVERYTHING ON THE LINE FOR YOU."

He pinched his eyes shut, trying to get ahold of his breathing. 

"You should fucking know.... some people show their emotions differently. I won't let you stand here accusing me in front of his sister when the only thing you have to go off of is JUST BECAUSE I'M NOT FUCKING CRYING!!!!"

"Ominis-"

"HE'S MY BEST FUCKING FRIEND! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS FEELS LIKE-"

"Ominis please-"

"HE'S THE CLOSEST THING I HAVE TO FAMILY ALORA! I HAVE-" He breathed deeply "........... I have no one else....."

Tears finally fell from his eyes, watching him take a few steps towards Anne as she went to lean on him. Feeling both of their eyes on me, hearing Ominis small sobs as he went for the comfort of Anne. Holding her against his chest.

"Don't fucking think for one second I'd ever betray him, I'd never betray you or him for that matter...... not after everything we went through...." He said softly. 

I sighed heavily, looking down at the picture that still laid in my hands, still gripping it as if my life depended on keeping it safe.

Ominis eyes watched me. Sorrow blending deeply within them, but something deep inside told me that something was still wrong. My gut was screaming at me telling me to run, that I wasn't safe.

"Until I find the truth...... I can't...........I can't trust you........ not yet." 

I wiped my tears with the back of my sleeve of my shirt. Grabbing my bag that laid on the floor, hoisting it over my shoulder.

"Alora-"

"No Ominis... there is only a select few people who knew about that day.......... that awful day Sebastian killed him..." I sighed heavily. Looking between the two of them. "You two are the only ones who were there included with Sebastian himself.........."

I took a few steps closer to them, getting into arms reach. 

"So unless Sebastian accidently let it spill, then-.......then I have to expect the worse." I walked towards the door, reaching for the handle. Turning to look over at my shoulder to see Anne and Ominis watching me. 

"I'm sorry......... I just can't..........."

I opened the door, swinging it open as the cool breeze coming off the coast whipped my hair back. Smelling the cool salt air breeze in the wind.

"Alora! Wait!" Anne said, stepping out of Ominis hold. 

I stepped through the door, ignoring her, my feet taking steps towards the gate. 

She came around me, her hands going over around my shoulders as she stopped me. 

"Don't do this, you're only hurting yourself! This isn't what Sebastian would have wanted!" 

I shook my head, grabbing onto her hands and releasing her.

"It doesn't matter now Anne...... he's gone."

"Alora please-"

"It doesn't matter what he would have wanted, I have to find out who did this."

"You don't even know what you're getting yourself into!"

I sighed heavily, "Anne........... I'm going to find out who put him behind those bars. I'm going to do anything I can to assure he gets out of there and I won't stop till he's saved.... I can't-........ I can't let him stay in Azkaban..."

"Please stop! You don't-"

"Anne! He won't survive in Azkaban!!!!" I yelled, gripping her shoulders, forcing her to listen to me. "I need you to trust me."

"Then let me go with you!"

I saw the desperateness in her eyes as she pleaded with me to take her along. But I couldn't. I knew she probably wasn't the one who turned in her own brother. I knew she didn't want to see Sebastian behind bars, paying for his crime against his uncle. Her actions, her voice, the way she cried already told me she probably wasn't the one who told the authorities. 

But deep down, something inside told me to not trust anyone.

I looked up to see Ominis walking through the front doors. The light of the sun beaming against his face as you could see the stain marks from his tears from earlier. 

"I can't..........." I said softly, looking down at Anne. "Don't trust no one Anne."
