🥀 Roses and Novels - Sebastian Sallow - Ominis Gaunt (Hogwarts Legacy Fanfic)

🥀 - Chapter 13 - 🌹

(Helena Perspective)
The next morning, Ominis lay half broken beside me, snoring loudly as he lay on his stomach with no blankets. I couldn't help but giggle and laugh at the sight of the boy. What a madman he is, getting drunk like that.. I put on my clothes and walked downstairs towards the kitchen for breakfast and tea. Guinevere was sitting at the same table in the living room again but this time with sandwiches and a cup of coffee.

I decided to join her at the table and start a conversation.

''Hi mum'' I said as I stared deeply into her eyes.

She was startled by my reaction and almost choked on a sip of her coffee.

She coughed a few times.

''You're wrong girl, I'm really not your mother''.

''Stop lying Guinevere! I know you are my mother. Don't lie to me because I know more than you think''. I conjured the photo album from my bag and threw it on the table right in front of her.

''HERE''.

She opened the book and looked at the pictures with an emotionless expression.

"You can't tell me that's not you... you look like two peas in a pod as that woman in the pictures".

She looked at me with her well-known blue eyes that I recognised myself in so much.

"Helena i wish I could tell you what was going on in my mind... but I don't know. It feels empty and unfamiliar".

I stood up and pulled her along by her hand to the big mirror in the hall.

"LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT US! WE ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL, THE SAME."

I turned to her and grabbed her hands and I stared deep into her eyes.

"Guinevere, I don't understand how you don't know. Even Evan says you're my mother. We look alike, you look like the woman in the pictures, I found the family portal in Aranshire."

It seemed like she was looking right through my soul, she was looking at me but actually looking through me. "I really don't know Helena, if only I could help you. It seems hard not knowing where your parents are".

I felt anger and sadness rise to the surface and turned my back to her. Tears came to my eyes she really didn't recognise me? My eyes started to glow and my hands turned blue.

"Helena.... W-w-what are you doing? Your hands..."

Before she could grab me, I knocked the stuff from the hallway closet to the floor. The sound of a loud bang and breaking shards echoed through the house. I turned around sighed deeply and tried to calm down but my magic took over my body.

"HOW CAN YOU NOT RECOGNISE ME WOMAN"
And I knocked a painting off the wall onto the floor.

"YOU LEFT ME WHEN I WAS 10"
another painting.

"DID I meant absolutely nothing to you"
there went the picture frame.

At the top of the stairs, I heard heavy footsteps rapidly approaching our direction.

(Evander Perspective)
I woke up to the loud bangs and breaking shards in my bed. I quickly pulled on my black t-shirt and trousers and ran up the corridor towards the stairs. Down the hall were broken items, and at the end of the hall I found Guinevere with her back against the wall full of fear in her eyes. Opposite her, Helena stood with her fists ready to attack.

I jumped over the smashed items and glass shards and stood in front of Guinevere.

"HELENA WHAT ARE YOU DOING".
