■*°☆𝕳𝖊𝖆𝖑𝖎𝖓𝖌☆°*

Y/N's eyes flickered open. She sat up slowly and accessed her situation. Seated on a king sized bed, alone. She remembered Sylus holding her back from leaving. The feeling of his arms still lingering on her skin. Everything felt like it was only meant to happen once and never again, even though nothing happened as they laid together.

She brought her hand to the cast on her arm, tracing the wrapping all the way to her fingers.

"Consume."

Pain struck her heart. She brought her hand to her chest and held on the shirt tightly. She groaned. The pain got worse with every beat her heart made. Y/N could feel something burning within her, something she hadn't felt before.

'Where is he?...' she thought.

With her hand on her chest, she managed to get off the bed, taking slow steps towards the door. Her vision was clouded and only one thing ran in her head.

"Consume."

"Consume!"

"CONSUME!!"

"Shut Up!!" She found herself screaming aloud. She fell to the floor and curled up in a fetal position as she clenched her chest tightly. Tears fell down the side of her face, creating small pools on the floor.

At that moment, she could only think of one person.

"Sylus..." She called softly. No answer.

"Sylus." She called again. This time she felt gentle tapping on her cheek and everything turned white.

Her eyes opened abruptly. She looked up at the figure before her. Silver messy hair and eyes that burnt like fire. A smile crept on her lips. Sylus's smile was gentle, anxiety took the best of him. He had heard her calling for him and he quickly went to her only to find her clenching her chest with closed eyes.

A pang of guilt hit his chest once he realized what was happening. They hadn't been that close with eachother for so long and now that they were, her aether core was responding harshly.

He tucked strands of hair behind her ear and stroked her cheek. He was hiding something so important from her and it hurt that he had to keep her this close and still lie to her.

She stared up at him, eyes sparkling with calm happiness. Happiness that only showed itself when he was there. Sylus could not get over how much he had fallen for her. From their aethers tether to the ordinary feelings he had developed, whatever he had for her stopped him from leaving her side even though it was bad for the both of them.

She owned his life and it was something she wasn't aware of, but he was.

They stared at eachother for a while longer before he backed away. Y/N sat up and moved some hair away from her face. Silence enveloped the room but Y/N was quick to get rid if it.

"Sorry..." she said. Sylus chuckled.

"What are you apologizing for?..."

His once tender gaze went cold immediately.

"You called and I answered nothing to apologize for."

Y/N watched him get off the bed, he only wore the trouser that came with the shirt he had on during the attack. His torso was fully exposed, gracing her with the view of his broad and perfect back.

"But I was asleep," She laughed nervously.

"That must've been weird."

Sylus glanced at her, a wry smile on his face. He walked over to what resembled a dresser and poured himself a glass of wine.
