Prince In Darkness Sebastian Sallow

Chapter 53: It Was Real

**Tolerate it By Taylor Swift was a good one**

*Alora POV*

It was never about whether or not he was going to want me or not. It was always just about finding him and bringing him home. Undoing the past and changing it for the better. It was my fault he was put in there; it was my fault we couldn't convince the others to give him a chance. Even after multiple attempts into Azkaban, with even becoming an Aura, I was never granted permission.

I've been there. I've seen it. The awfulness of that place is worse than some others could ever imagine. 

But these feelings never went away. My love for him never left me, for deep down in my heart its always belonged to one.

But even then, there was always room. Room for another to start building on the blocks of my heart.

I owed him everything. Literally. Everything.

And there was nothing more I could give him for the loyalty he's shown me all along.

Look at yourself in the mirror......

I was, in Ominis white orbs I could see my own reflection. And for the first time in a while, I was scared. I was scared of the rejection. I was scared that too much time has passed. For all I knew, he might be Azkaban, plotting my death. But I had to try. And until I knew, until I could look him in the eyes and have him tell me I was no good, that there was no love. I'd hold on.

I'd hold on till he could release me.

Maybe. And maybe then........... could Ominis catch me.

No........... that's still not fair for him...

"....... I can't have you wait for me, Ominis........"

"Alora......" he whispered, his lips dangerously close to mine. "..... I've waited almost nine years.... I can wait....."

He then took his opportunity, and I let him.

His lips fiercely collided with mine. The passion, everything he had was put into this kiss. All those times of waiting. All of those times of uncertainty, this time it wasn't fake. It was real.

A real kiss.

He backed me further against the wall, his hand holding my face while the other went into my hair.

He asked for entrance inside my mouth which I immediately let him, his tongue exploring my mouth vigorously. Touching every inch, every wall, not missing a single thing. He groaned against me, pushing his body further into me like he was starving for my touch. Needing me, feeling me, wanting me.

BANG!

We pulled apart immediately, looking off into the direction of the stairs in which the sound came from.

Someone was coming.

My heart raced, my breath picking up, this could be all for nothing if I don't get into that room right now.

"Ominis-" I panicked.

He brought me close to him, one last time, kissing my forehead as he grabbed my face.

"Go, Alora. I'll hold them off, when you get the information you need, apparate out of here. Don't come back for me, do you understand me?"

I nodded into his embrace.

"I'll be waiting for you at Anne's. Be careful, you hear me? Please..." He pleaded.

"Yes, Ominis. I promise."

He finally released me. Walking in the direction of the stairs to fend off whoever was coming.

He stopped for a moment before turning the corner. Our eyes meeting for a split second.

"You got this Alora......go. Now." He said.

And with that, he was out completely of my sight. Heading in the direction of whoever was coming to investigate. Leaving him to fend for himself. But I had to trust him. I had to.

My hand reached for the door, pushing it open swiftly and shutting it behind me quickly. It was in complete darkness, the room. Not able to see a single thing going on.

I brought my wand out from my dress.

"Lumos."

My wand illuminated the small room.

In the corner of the room, was chains stretching all the way to the other side.

I followed the chains slowly.

A small chuckle sounded in the corner making me freeze in my spot.

"Well........ that was sure something to hear." A voice in the dark whispered. 

"Who are you?" I asked demandingly. Pointing my wand closer to the voice.

In the other corner, a woman with barely rags on her body sat in the corner, her feet chained to the floor as she lifted her hand to block the light of my wand to shield her eyes.

She chuckled again, "So you are the one, he spoke of............ so long ago. Can't believe he actually came back here....."

I stepped closer, lowering my wand as I viewed the woman. She was much older than what she seemed, her hair in knots, her body in cuts and bruises. Multiple slashes on her hands from the beatings.

".... he-.... spoke of me?" I asked. Coming to stand in front of her.

"Oh yes my dear. Believe or not, he almost killed for you."

Ominis? Kill..... for me?

I sighed, "We've all done things in our past we regret I'm afraid, but-.... I was hoping you could help me."

She chuckled again, "Help me? Help me! Look at me girl, I'm chained to the floor, how in the world am I supposed to help you hm?"

"Help me find the secret entrance into Azkaban, and with your help...... I'll get you out of here."

Her dark eyes looked up through her hair, light finding hope in her eyes of even the possibility of escaping this place.

I stood, positioning my wand at the chains of her feet.

"Bombarda."

The crackle of chains bursted through our ears. releasing her from the chains.

I helped her pull the remains from her feet, watching as she rubbed her aching and sore feet.

I reached my hand out for her to take.

"I'll get you out of here, you have my word but only if you manage to show me the way, after that, you're free to go. Do we have a deal?" I asked.

I could hear the footsteps outside the hallways. Getting closer by the second.

"Please." I said rushed, "You have my word!"

She stood slowly, inching towards me slowly.

"How do I know you won't just kill me afterwards." She asked cautiously.

"You don't. You just have to trust me. Unless you'd rather die by Marvolo's hand-"

Without question, she reached for my hand.

"Apparate us as close as you possibly can, we'll find the entrance from there." I said quickly.

She nodded.

I swallowed, adrenaline running through my veins of the thought of seeing him again. 

I was one step closer.

I'm coming Sebastian.

I'm coming......... just hang on a little longer.
