Tera and Sébastien drove to the house Sébastien grew up in the very next day, when they got in the parking lot they stayed in the car
"You don't have to go if you don't want to, I mean if you're not ready" Tera held Sébastien hand trying to comfort him
"No the sooner I do this, the better I'll feel later" they got out the car and walked towards the entrance and as Tera expected the house was marvelous, it had big glass windows and old fashioned doors, chandeliers and wooden floors with very unique designs
"It feels so weird being back here...after so long" Sébastien says walking around looking at the old finisher that has been catching dust over the years
"Your house looks beautiful, I'm having second thoughts of burning this house down" Tera chuckles trying to lighten the tension that's lingering in the air
"I'm not, I want it all gone. All the painful memories...I want it to burn the same way it burned me"
"Even this?" Tera shows Sébastien a old family picture of him and his family when he was young. Sébastien took out the lighter and burned the face of both his father and mother. The fire spread across the photo and Sébastien just looks at it
He zones out as he remembers everything that his been though his childhood, he has a reason to be like this. His parents destroyed him physically and Mentally, they teared him apart piece by piece. They made him like this, and now he has the desire to do it to others. Including Tera
They brows around and Tera looks at the old paintings and sees a painting of a girl holding a ice-cream
"That's my older sister, she died of pneumonia years ago. I made this painting in her honor" Sébastien explains and Tera nodded
"Then do you want to keep it?" Tera asked as Sébastien brushed off the dust from the painting, Tera has never seen someone as broken as Sébastien. People die everyday, everywhere it's nothing new but it's new if you lose someone you love
"No, burn it. Burn every bad memory" and with that Tera begins pouring gasoline on everything on sight and every inch of the house which took three big bottles of gasoline
"You do it" Tera gave Sébastien the lighter, they looked at the house one last time, before they light it on fire from outside. They watch as the fire spread and grew bigger
"Let's go, before one of us gets hurt" Tera agrees and they walk to the car, Sébastien opens the door for her and gets in the driver sit as the two just sit there silence took over
But Sébastien hears Teras breathing heavily, he looks at her to see what's going on and Tera was flicking the rubber band around her wrist over and over again as she was rocking back and forth. Tera was hurting herself with the rubber band badly
"Tera stop it your hurting yourself, I need you to stop" Sébastien has seen her do this before but she would quickly snap out of it, this is the longest it lasted
"Tera you need to calm down I'm here, come Raven come back" Sébastien trys to calm her down but nothing works, the rubber band snaps and with that Tera bangs her head to the head rest over and over again until she collapses and everything goes black
Sébastien starts driving as fast as he can, he needs to get her help immediately. How could he over look such serious problems for years, his always known of Teras panic attacks but it's never been as serious. Sébastien skips traffic lights and almost crashed twice but he made it home
He called his personal doctor to come and check on her, the doctor came and examined her. He said that she indeed have a panic attack and there are a lot of reasons as well like, long period of stress, over breathing, chang in the environment etc
Tera wakes up the next day to the sun picking through the window, she blinks repeatedly to get her eyes to adept to the light. She looks around and sees she's alone, she begins to panic looking for Sébastien
"Sébastien!, Sébastien!" She shouts hoping for a response but when there was none, she got out of bed and walks back and forth while running a hand through her hair
"Sébastien come back,where are you?!" She screams as tears run down he cheeks, she falls to the floor and brings her knees to her chest and crys
Sébastien looks at her by the door and slowly smiles at the sight of Tera breaking down, but that wasn't enough for him. He walks towards her and she slowly looks up and waps her tears with the back of her hand
"Your crying?, are you fucking serious!" Tera flinched at his tone but trys to compose herself
"I'm sorry. I woke up and didn't see you there so I panicked" she trys to explain and Sébastien could see the desperation in her eyes and he loved it
"There is a difference between over reacting and panicking, and yesterday you and the whole panic attack and blacking out..." Sébastien was cut short by Tera
"What do you mean panic attack and blacking out, after we burned the house we, we um...we" Sébastien looks at her in astonishment
"You don't remember anything...Tera you don't remember, you freaked out immediately when we got in the car and ended up blacking out" Sébastien explains, Tera has been experiencing panic attacks for years now but it's never gotten to this extent before, they usually come and go
"So you don't want me anymore because you think I'm weak" she looks at him and he just stares at her as he quickly realizes that Teras love for him is turning into something more then love, if it hasn't already
He enjoys the thought of controlling her and turning her to her true form, which is not only a killer but a phyco, a monster, a demon that craves the smell of blood and death and in order to do that he has to manipulate her, mentally manipulate her

To be honest I'm enjoying writing Gray and I've grown to love Sébastien, but don't tell Tera she's gonna kill me literally 😅
Lots of love 🥰
