Prince In Darkness Sebastian Sallow

Chapter 82: You Found Me

***I'm so sorry this is late, life had been crazy but I made this one longer to make up for it! Enjoy!!!* 💕

*Alora POV*

We didn't even bother running back through the Gaunts home. Leaving this place and trying to get as far away as possible, for we didn't know how many others of Gaunts followers would show up after the rain had subsided. That or when the word would spread of Lord Gaunts wareabouts, Marvolo's death, their legacy of their first born taken by the girl with the ancient magic.

I might become famous again. But I didn't care. All I cared about was getting Sebastian to an infirmary to treat his wounds properly or atleast getting him home so Anne could treat him if he fought against the idea.

Which he did.

His wounds were barely healed, one wrong move or another fight would result in them rupturing. Especially the one around his neck, it had hit right next to an artery. Primarily why he was choking on his blood as I saw the light leave his eyes. I pinched my eyes shut remembering. Trying to get the image out of my head.

It was worse. So much worse than I could have ever imagined. If I had known, I might have not-

No.

I'm done with that. I'm done.

I can't control it. I made the decision. I trusted my gut, I trusted Sebastians words. I needed to start looking to myself.

Yes, I didn't go through with it because I didn't want others to control my life. I didn't want to marry Ominis for the wrong reasons. I wanted, for once, to make the decisions that impacted my own life. Not only Sebastians.

I wanted him. I wanted him but in my own way. I wanted him to want me. I wanted him at the right moment. It just so happens it happened right as I was about to sell my life away to another man.

Honestly, the only man I would have been okay with.

I just wish I had figured that out sooner. Maybe I've always known. Maybe I just needed that extra push or confirmation from him to let go of everything and just do what was right for myself. But again, love.... makes our hearts, our minds, our souls, do things we never imagined. Makes us go completely blind to the world around us. Everything logical, completely gets busted out a window.

Love makes us so blind. So fucking blind.

I wince away, Ominis padding my face with a piece of cloth. Trying to wipe some blood off my face. "Ow." I say, flinching away from him from the sting.

"You need to get checked out too." He said, rubbing his thumb over the cut.

"I'm fine."

"Stop it. Your not fine." He mumbled, dropping his hand with the soaked cloth. "Anymore fine and you'll be passing out too from the blood loss."

"What about you huh? Your one eye is completely swollen shut." I said, looking up. It looked so ugly. So swollen, purple swirled with dark blues. Anymore swollen and he'd look like a one eyed troll. I laughed, watching as Sebastian leaned against a tree in the distance, his head leaning back as his eyes were closed. Resting peacefully.

Probably the first time either one of us felt at peace with atleast something, finally not tormenting ourselves anymore.

We couldn't apparate. So we were stuck walking or atleast until Sebastian felt strong enough to fly on a broom.

"Something to share?" Ominis asked, stopping what he was doing as he too leaned down, resting on the tree that we both now shared.

I chuckled, "As bad as your eye looks, I thought you looked like a troll.....So I laughed."
