Sebastian Sallow

As soon as Tessa was out the door, Sebastian turned his attention to the scene before him, his veins still screaming for blood, even though Tessa was now safe and not under any spell making her act otherwise.

Marvolo was bound on the ground, laying on his stomach as he writhed with silent screams. One of his eyes were on the ground next to him. Ominis was pacing, shaking his head, and Sebastian didn't miss the trembling his best friend was trying to hide.

Malfoy sat on the ground, his face pale as he stared down in horror at the things he'd done.

"Tell me, when imperio'd, do you see everything?" Sebastian wondered, expression aloof as he neared the three.

"Only when I'm fighting it," Malfoy answered between clenched teeth. Sebastian nodded.

He wondered what Tessa witnessed. Was she witnessing the spells that she'd thrown at him? The killing curse had been a bitch to avoid, as well as several advanced fire spells that had taken him by surprise. He wondered how she'd learned them, considering Marvolo hadn't demanded any specific spells, just by any means necessary.

He'd have to ask her when he got back to her.

He walked over to his new captive, using his foot to roll Marvolo over onto his back. He frowned as he leaned down. "Malfoy was right, I figured there'd be a lot more blood."

"Sebastian," Ominis groaned but Sebastian continued to stare. Marvolo's only eye was full of pure hate. Sebastian knew without a doubt that if he could, Marvolo would kill him here and now. And it made him grin.

"He stole what's mine, Ominis, can't let him think he can get away with something like that," he said, reaching up to pat Marvolo's cheek. Marvolo's jaw clench, his chest heaving from his ragged breaths that were also completely silent.

He heard footsteps and glanced up to see Malfoy about to leave.

"Malfoy? A word?"

He froze before he turned to glare at Sebastian, though there was too much fear in his gaze for it to carry any heat.

"Just remember if you tell anyone about this, your wand will show who did all the fighting and harming."

"I was under imperio!" Malfoy snarled, visibly shaking, though from anger or fear, Sebastian couldn't guess.

"Mm, which was wandlessly cast, it'll be a bit harder to prove." Sebastian said, pursing his lips, studying the boy.

"I'm not going to tell anyone," Malfoy growled, fists clenched at his sides.

"Oh, I know." Sebastian smiled. "Just wanted you to remember why, just in case you forget and try to use it as leverage in the future."

Malfoy just glared before turning and all but sprinting away from them. Sebastian chuckled before turning his attention back to Marvolo. Whatever spell Malfoy had used to restrain him was interesting, he'd have to figure out what it was. Marvolo seemed to be bound, but it was invisible. It didn't stop him from looking around or speaking or bloody screaming, Sebastian thought with a roll of his eyes, no matter if he were silenced or not.

"Alright Marvolo, let's start talking shall we?" He asked, removing the silence spell.

"She's not yours, I signed a bloody contract!" Marvolo snarled the moment the spell was removed.
