Alastors POV:

The pain was getting worse and I felt drained and drowsy. I just wanted to collapse onto the floor and sleep.
I couldn't breathe properly due to the smoke that filled my lungs, I don't know what to do.

How far away is my house?
What if I don't make it?
What if we get lost?

The main reason that made me keep pushing through was...her.
I shifted my gaze up and looked at her alluring e/c eyes. She was focused straight ahead and looked determined to keep me alive.

Everything about her is perfect, the way she talks, the way she laughs, her body, her smile...

My mangled leg was dragging behind me, my head felt extremely heavy all of a sudden. I couldn't hold myself upright anymore. I leaned forward, catching myself at each step I took.

"Y/n I don't feel too good" I stuttered, coughing up some blood that clogged my throat. Every single part of my body was aching and sore, I was covered head to toe with burns, bruises and wounds.

"I know, I know. Just a little further and you can rest."

I shook my head and blinked forcefully, trying to stay conscious for y/n.

You are weak, you always have been.

"Shut up"

"Alastor?" She paused and looked at me perplexed.

"Not you chère"

Don't you remember that one day when you were a bit too early to school?

"STOP" I shouted sternly.

"Alastor, are you okay?" She asked, concerned for my strange outbursts.

"No...yes I am just keep going"

They told you that you will always be below everyone.

"No." I whispered to myself.

They hurt you a lot, they humiliated you.

"Quiet" I snapped.

Your father left you, it's all your fault. You ruined everything. Your mother died in hatred and disgust towards you.

"No, she still loved me" I mumbled under my breath.

You are a monster Alastor, you are broken and don't deserve to be alive. You ruin everything around you and eventually you will lose y/n too.

"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!" I yelled and y/n gently sat me down on the damp ground next to the river.

"I haven't said anything?"

"I deserve to be alive, don't I y/n" I sniffled trying to not break down crying in front of her.

"Alastor, don't ever think you are undeserving of life. I love you so much, flaws and all and yes you have done bad things BUT I have too. If I asked you that question, what would you say to me?" She said in a frustrated tone. She's never seen me this weakened before, I feel defeated.

"I would tell you that you are wrong... and that your existence is everything to me" I sighed.

"Exactly, so don't be silly and consider yourself unworthy of life." She tilted my head up so I was looking at her and hugged me close, I inhaled sharply at the pain but relaxed into her arms..

I exhaled gradually and she bent down by the flowing water and cupped her hands collecting some. She walked over carefully holding the water and was going to wash my damaged leg...

"Wait stop, I just realized that rivers carry harmful bacteria. It might lead to infections, It's better if we wait till we get fresh clean water." I explained.

"But Alastor, we have no clue where we are and where we can get medical supplies. I remember that the journey to the asylum in the car was a bit over an hour. How are we supposed to know what direction to go in?" She asked and I tilted my head down sorrowfully.

"Listen to me y/n, I need rest desperately and I can't think straight right now. Come here." I called her over and she laid down next to me sobbing.

"I'm scared" She said through broken breaths.

"It's gonna be okay, we will get out of here and soon we will be snuggled up safe in my bed and I'll make us some of my jambalaya. We can go back to reading books in front of the warm fire and dance to our favorite music..." I said in an optimistic tone.

"...but for now I need to just close my eyes and rest, I love you" I yawned. I felt dizzy and sick, I don't think I can hold on for any longer.

Don't leave her all alone...

My eyes teared up at the fact that my odds of survival were getting smaller each minute. I've lost too much blood and I'm severely dehydrated. I've started to feel that I was slipping away and I don't know where the fuck I am right now.

Will she be able to survive without me?

As I was about to close my eyes I saw a stag staring at me, my vision was warped. I coughed up more blood again and it disappeared into the woods.
I let my body succumb to slumber and my mind was spinning.

Goodbye.

My little sister has taken all the new sponges we bought today and drew on them. We can't use any now 😭😭

When I asked her why she said:

"They are my babies right now but I like to chew on them. The green part is my favorite."

I looked down at her concerned and disturbed.
