Prince In Darkness Sebastian Sallow

Chapter 78: Light Or Darkness

THIS CHAPTERRRR, I've been dying to write.

*Take me back to eden by Sleep Token*

*Alora Pov*

It was almost time. It had been mostly silent through the mansion, not hearing much of a peep other than the commotion outside. The final additions being placed, the final flowers, the final seats, my final fate. Being laid out before me.

I was so close now. Getting to this point, reaching the end of my line of being a Circe as my last name would be promised and changed to another. The man with white orbs, blonde hair, tall, strong and wise. The man I've kept at arm's length, finally receiving their chance and owning the prize. Claiming my heart even if it was for the protection of another.

It was all kind of romantic..... right?

I smoothed out my dress, pushing down the lace that curved around my body. My hair cascading down my back in waves, half up with a family heirloom pin of the Gaunts legacy. A dark vale over my face that Ominis would eventually lift to reveal me. Revealing my face to the Gaunt name, my eyes in dark eyeliner, dark shadows as it winged over my eyelids. It was stunning, showing true power as I looked at myself in the mirror.

I breathed deep. Missy doing her last and final touches of my dress as she fanned out the train of my dress behind me.

Clapping her hands, wiping her eyes from the tears. "Such a vision. My work is done here..... now, remember..... Lord Gaunt will be here to collect you shortly."

I couldn't answer her. Just nodding as I heard the click of the door shut behind her. Leaving me finally in some peace and quiet.

"So........ this is what getting married looks like." I sniffled, talking to myself.

I always dreamed of a white flowy dress, my hair flowing back towards the wind as the seaside flooded my senses. Seeing the love of my life look down at me with loving eyes as we shared our first and final kiss in front of our friends.

But I broke all of those. Ruined them, tainted them. Made them hate me, resent me. All for a love of another that I will now never have, never hold.

But Ominis-...... Ominis would provide, he'd give me as much love and kindness he could within his heart. He'd be my calm in the storm, the righteousness through the wrongs, helping me through the path of the dark lords.

Sebastian would be safe. Anne, would be safe. Our friendships will live on in the halls of Hogwarts, the memories I'll hold fresh and dear in my heart till my last breath was taken.

I could find peace in that. The calming of my heart beginning to slow as I thought through it.

Yes....... with Ominis. I could find it.

Peace.

At last.

KNOCK KNOCK

My breathed seized, the shiver running down my spine.

Missy abruptly came through the door again, not evening bothering to shut it behind her.

"Oh my, I forgot!" She said quickly, rushing in front of me and grabbing the snake styled earrings and giving them to me to put on. I swiftly did so.

She looked me over one last time, smiling brightly. "There. Now you're ready. It won't be long now." She said, turning back towards the door. Looking over back to me one last time. "A true goddess of darkness." She smiled, before shutting the door behind her.

My shaky breath released, I felt lightheaded, wanting to sit down but it wouldn't be long now.

But something caught my eye in the mirror. A flicker of light. A dark shadow, standing in the dark by the door near the bathroom.
