Prince In Darkness Sebastian Sallow

Chapter 39: Secrets And Hopes

I apologize for the delay! This weekend was super busy for me! But here's the next chapter! Enjoy!!! 💕

*Alora POV*

This can't be happening.....

"Please..... you have to understand-... I-."

I can't breathe.....

I had to walk away, run, get away from here. Away from him!

"Alora-! Wait!" Ominis yelled after me.

No...... no no no no NO!

When I got to the cliffside, letting the air fill my lungs. Looking off into the horizon, trying to focus on anything else.

Anything else....

Breathe..... in and out.

In and out......

I could hear his footsteps getting louder, rushing at me.

"Alora!"

I felt him grab my shirt, trying to swirl me around but all I saw was-...... RED.

"DEPULSO!"

Ominis body went flying back, hitting the grass with a thud. He got up slowly, his white orbs taken away in shock. Trying to sit up slowly from the impaction of the hallow ground.

"Alora I'm sorry, let me explain-!"

"Explain WHAT! That you once again have betrayed ME!?"

He stood slowly, wiping off the grass and dirt from his clothes. Grabbing ahold of his wand from his side. Seeing the blinking red at the end, pointing in my direction so he could see.

"It's not like that! You don't know the circumstances!"

I could almost laugh. How fucking ridiculous.

"Do you even understand the circumstances HE'S been in Ominis!? .....HUH?!" I yelled.

"Alora-... please. Let me explain."

I faced the horizon again. Not knowing how much longer I could look at him without wanting to kill him.

"How could I......even begin to trust you now...." I said lowly.

I heard him take a step closer. A few feet behind me as his breath labored. I could tell he was still recovering from the fall.

"My father-......" he sighed, trying to find his words, "....made me use the cruciatus curse on someone and the only way I could retrieve the letter for Sebastian's trial of who turned him in was to torture this poor woman. She-...... then proceeded to tell me that there was only a select few in which knew about the secret entrance to get inside Azkaban. I didn't know if it was real or not I didn't-....." he sighed again, hearing him sniffle, the tears coming to the surface, "...... I didn't know Alora. And was too afraid to tell you or Anne to give you a false hope. You have to understand! I was trying to protect you! Who knows what would have happened if we actually tried going in that direction!"

I whipped around to face him, hearing enough.

"Ominis! Do you even hear yourself! You didn't even give us a CHANCE-!"

"You BOTH, needed to accept the fact that he's gone. HES GONE!" His nostrils flared, his hands in fist at his sides as he breathed in shallow breaths. "....Nothing, you do or say, is going to change that! And sending you both down a wild goose chase to Azkaban was NOT going to change that!!!!!"

His voice echoed off into the wind. Hearing the tearing shreds off my heart peel off one by one.

The ache.
