*Ominis POV*
The walk back to the house seemed like a part of myself was ripped out again. I knew deep down she wasn't going to like what I had to say. But I thought maybe after all this time...... maybe since she had been gone for so long that maybe-.... she would realize that there was truly nothing she could do. That there was nothing more to say or accomplish. That the past was the past, the monsters that haunted our dreams would stay underneath our beds and finally let us sleep. I just didn't think Alora actually-.... held on so tightly that even the slightest inch of hope would shake her the way it did.
I told her in hopes so I could release myself from hiding anything from her, when all it did was backfire in my face.
So, she wouldn't leave..... and now she's gone..... again....
Damn it Alora........
The door squeaked open, hearing my light footsteps enter through the house. Noticing Anne wasn't in her normal space. She was quietly sitting next to the fire, the pages of her favorite book that Sebastian had gotten her years ago. One that she has read over and over.... again and again....
Anne closed it, finally noticing my presence as I came through the door.
"Is she gone?" She asked abruptly.
I didn't hesitate, "Yes, Anne. She left."
I heard her breath in deeply, noticing her figure as her eyes motioned for the fire, twisting her hair around her fingers. Clearly deep in thought. Wondering if she ever regretted sending her away.
"It's what's best-"
"Is it? Is it truly what's best....... Anne?" I asked quietly.
I came to sit across from her, feeling my sore body slump against the couch.
Thats right......... she flung me across the bloody grass......
She didn't say anything for a moment, her eyes watching the dark embers inside the fire burn till they turned to ash. Falling deeper into the flames, breaking away.
She sighed, "You're not convinced she only came here to tell us about Imelda then?" She asked.
"No..... I'm not.... I think-.... she's been wanting to come back for some time. She just-.... didn't know how..."
She breathed deep, letting it out as she closed her eyes. Leaning her head into her hand.
"...... I don't want to forgive her yet. I can't-"
"Nobody said that you should..... at least-... not right away, Anne."
She groaned, "I just wish things would have been different..... back then I mean. Why couldn't she just have- UGH!" She threw her hands up in frustration, hearing her heart break, "I don't know Ominis! Communicate! Our last year at Hogwarts we barely saw her and then the second it was all over, she just-..... disappeared! We were the ones here for her, we were the ones who wanted to help her heal! I wanted SO many things and she just threw them away because she couldn't handle it!"
I let her heart come back down from the torment she felt. I felt it too..... but I felt it in such different ways from the both of them. I too wanted to be angry with her, but I couldn't...... not when I knew deep down we all needed each other. It just-........ took longer than others to come around to it.
"Anne..... you can't forever hold it against her. She dealt with somethings you and I would never be able to feel-." Anne's eyes got wide, already getting defensive of my comments. "BUT-...... that doesn't excuse her for disappearing or trying to shut us out."
