Whispers of my heart - Sebastian Sallow x OC

Ophelia!

After a short walk to the entrance of the Forbidden Forest, Sebastian extended his arm with a playful yet chivalrous bow.

"Shall we, my lady?"

Ophelia, matching his tone, responded with a smile, "Indeed, kind sir."

As they ventured deeper into the Forbidden Forest, the dense canopy overhead filtered the moonlight, casting an ethereal glow on their path. Ophelia held onto Sebastian's arm, the quiet rustling of leaves and distant magical creatures creating a serene symphony.

Upon reaching the hidden gem that Sebastian had discovered, Ophelia found herself standing at the edge of a clearing. Moonlight filtered through the branches, illuminating a picturesque scene. A tranquil lake reflected the celestial night sky, and bioluminescent plants painted a captivating picture.

"Sebastian, this is... it's beyond words."

Sebastian, looking at Ophelia, couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

"I'm glad you like it. It felt right to share this place with you."

They strolled around the magical scenery, stopping at the edge of the lake. Ophelia, feeling a burst of affection, started a conversation.

"You know, I have something for you too."

She pulled out the delicate vial necklaces she had purchased, placing one in Sebastian's hand.

"These vials are meant to hold spells or memories. We could wear them and create happy moments together to fill the vial."

Sebastian, touched by the thoughtful gift, thanked Ophelia sincerely.

"Ophelia, this is wonderful. Thank you, love."

In the serene ambiance of the Forbidden Forest, it was almost reminiscent of the morning in the Room of Requirement. The atmosphere was charged with a shared moment, akin to the one they had earlier before being interrupted by Deek.

However, the tranquility was abruptly shattered as an invisible force rapidly pulled Ophelia away from Sebastian, leaving him screaming her name into the night.

"Ophelia!"

As Sebastian called out her name, the forest seemed to hold its breath. The echo of his voice lingered in the air, creating an eerie silence. Sebastian, filled with a sudden dread, rushed forward, attempting to chase after the invisible force that had torn Ophelia away.

The magical creatures inhabiting the forest sensed the disturbance, their nocturnal symphony now disrupted. A few birds circled overhead, as if mirroring the anxious energy that permeated the scene.

Sebastian's heart pounded as he reached the point where Ophelia had been whisked away. He desperately looked around, calling her name once more, but only the echoes of his own voice answered him.

Unsure of what had just transpired, Sebastian couldn't shake the feeling of helplessness. The magical atmosphere that had moments ago been filled with the promise of a shared moment now hung heavy with uncertainty.

He cast a desperate look towards the lake, half-expecting Ophelia to reappear, yet the tranquility of the water remained undisturbed.

In the midst of the enchanted forest, Sebastian found himself alone, surrounded by the lingering enchantment of a moment that had been abruptly stolen away. He couldn't comprehend the invisible force that had separated them, leaving only the night and the distant sounds of the forest as witnesses to Ophelia's sudden disappearance.

As the echo of his own voice began to fade, a distinct, small voice pierced through the night – a heartbreaking cry calling out his name. It was Ophelia.

Sebastian's heart skipped a beat, fueled by a mixture of relief and heightened concern. He immediately recognized her voice and, without a second thought, started running in the direction of the heart-wrenching sound.

The enchanted forest seemed to close in around him as he darted through the foliage, guided only by the fragile notes of Ophelia's cry. The intensity of the magical realm heightened, casting an otherworldly glow on the path ahead.

The sense of urgency pushed Sebastian to his limits as he desperately navigated the labyrinthine twists and turns of the Forbidden Forest. Each step felt heavier than the last, fueled by the fear of what or who might have befallen Ophelia.

The distant cries continued, a fragile thread connecting him to the person he cared about the most. Every ounce of magic in the forest seemed to pulse with anticipation as if aware of the unfolding drama.

As he neared the source of the cries, Sebastian's heart raced faster. The air crackled with an unusual energy, setting an unsettling undertone to the scene. He braced himself for whatever awaited him, determined to reunite with Ophelia and uncover the mystery behind her sudden disappearance.
