Our Forever Love ( A Sebastian X Reader ) On Hold

Chapter 12 - Hello Dearie

-----

Sebastian's Pov

-----

I stare into N/m's cold dead eyes as I block every one of her attacks; the ringing of the clashing metal echoing in my ears. The only thing that I truly cared about at this moment though was how I was going to get the real N/m back. As my mind began rummaging through different ideas on how to release her from this state I felt a slight pain on my left cheek. I quickly realized that N/m had managed to cut me. I stared at her wide eyed wondering how I could have let her land an attack on me. That's when I realized that I can't fix N/m by blocking her moves, because as much as I didn't want to hurt her I knew I had to do something.

Just as N/m was about to go in for another attack I grabbed her arms and threw her into one of the giant stone chess pieces causing numerous cracks to spread throughout the stone. I quickly ran towards her stunned form and grabbed her by the wrists, our eyes staring right back at each other. My eyes filled with concern where as hers were filled with hatred. "Let go of me!" She screamed as she tried to get out of my grip. "Haven't you already done enough to me?" Her words shocked me. What lies has Claude told her?

"What could you possibly be talking about? I haven't done anything to hurt you." She just scoffed at my statement as she continued to try and pry from my grip. "Oh I see, so you don't remember when you tortured me and tried to take the demon sword away from me?! If it wasn't for Claude I would have died and you would have the demon sword!" Questions filled my mind as N/m's words sunk in. Since when has N/m ever owned the demon sword, and why is she convinced that I have tortured her? All I knew is that Claude had something to do with it. I just needed to get her to remember the truth. That's when an idea popped into my head. It was going to be a long shot, but at this point I have to try anything.

N/m continued to struggle under my grip but I stopped her by pressing my lips onto hers. I could feel her immediately tense up then begin trying to get me off of her, but I didn't let up. I just continued to kiss her. As I did this I soon felt her not only stop fighting the kiss, but also kissing back. Releasing N/m from my grip, I gently placed one hand on her waist and one hand on her cheek.

After a few more seconds I pulled back at the kiss and looked at N/m whose eyes were now her original shade of E/c. N/m instantly pulled me into an embrace. I could feel her body trembling as she clung to me. "Sebastian... you have to.... save me." She said as she let out sharp and shaky breaths as if she was in pain. I was about to reply to her but was stopped when she was pulled away from our embrace. I quickly looked up to see who it was and was surprised when I saw Claude holding her up by her neck as she tried to pry him off of her.

I quickly stood up and was about to help N/m, but stopped when Claude plunged a syringe filled with a strange green solution straight into N/m's neck. I just stood there and watched as she stared at me; her eyes slowly turning cold and lifeless once again. Once the syringe was completely empty N/m's body became almost lifeless as Claude picked her up as if she was his bride. "What have you done to her?" I asked as I tried to control my anger that began forming inside of me. I stared at Claude with my demon eyes showing as he dropped the syringe that was once filled with the strange solution. "See for yourself." He said boredly.

I quickly made my way towards the syringe and picked it up off of the ground and noticed that it still had a small amount of liquid left in it. As I began to inspect the liquid everything began coming together, and I soon began to realize what Claude had done to N/m. "You've brainwashed her using some sort of drug. Made her believe that she loves you and hates me." I said looking back at Claude.

He just continued to stare at me with the same bored face. "Precisely. I'm surprised it has taken you this long to figure out." He stated still holding onto N/m. I put the syringe in my coat pocket and slowly began walking towards Claude. "I figured you had brainwashed her somehow after witnessing how she reacted to seeing me. You've just proven me right. Now...."
