Prince In Darkness Sebastian Sallow

Chapter 35: Hello Is Harder

*Alora POV*

"Alora come on, you'll catch a cold." Ominis said, grabbing my hand and trying to get me to come through the Sallow home.

Wait how-.....

We were standing at the front door, the sun was shining down, not a single cloud in the sky.

"Come on, you can't be that terrified of Anne." He said, pulling on my hand.

My eyes traveled, seeing the door was already cracked.

When did he open it.....

A high pitch scream sounded from inside the house, ear pinching enough to make our hearts jump out of our chest.

Without hesitation my body acted on its own, me and Ominis rushing through the doors. Even with my fear, even with my anxiety, even with the terrible pain this place brought, I couldn't let Anne suffer.

The house shook from the abrupt door being thrown against the wall, the clash of the pictures falling to the ground.

Anne stood in the middle of the room, her hands around a man.

Clutching onto him like her life depended on it. Sobbing uncontrollably.

He was in a striped light grey shirt and pants.

.......... it can't be..........

He turned, the brown hair, his freckled cheeks, the warm and soothing brown caramelized eyes. Looking up at me and Ominis.

He smiled.

At me.

"Sebastian....."

He let go of Anne, stepping away from her as his eyes drinked me in.

There was no hate. No disgust. No resentment in his eyes.

Just love, deep love that awakened something in me.

I wanted to crumble, I wanted to fade right into him. I wanted-...... but wait.

"I've missed you." He said softly. Reaching for my face, his hands cupping around my cheeks while my tears were caught in his fingers.

Ominis disappeared from my side, going over to Anne as she clutched onto him.

I looked into his eyes, they were sunken in, he was skinny and lost so much weight. His muscle tone was gone but it was him.

"I've-..... dreamed of this moment since you were taken away, I couldn't- I'm so-"

"Shhhh...... there's no need for that now. I'm here."

His rusted attire was ripped in shreds in different places, the material breaking apart by just looking at it.

I grabbed his hands, trying to memorize this. His touch.

"Please............ stay."

"I'm not going anywhere. That is................ until I find-........ and kill her."

I stilled, freezing in my spot as I opened my eyes, looking up at him. His whole demeanor had changed. The light outside turned to dark.

The shackles on the ground sounded, the path behind him covered with blood from his feet.

His hands traveled down my face to my neck, grasping it, forcing me to look up at him as he squeezed.

"Sebastian-"

"WHERE IS SHE!?!?"

I looked around the room, trying to find Anne or Ominis but they had disappeared.
