From Death to Life- Book One

Ch. 27- It Started With a Bad Sunburn

"Don't underestimate my ability to turn you into ruins. I will shatter your soul into pieces like you did mine, I will burn your sanctuary, destroy everything you own. Don't ask the gods to help you because they're afraid of me, their fear will rain upon the earth, your kingdom is over and I will wear your crown too." - don't test me

I told myself that I was going to kill her. That she is finally getting what she deserves because, at the end of the day, I will be the one to destroy her like she did to me and my kingdom. It feels weird to say that I have a kingdom as I never thought I belonged to something so important. That bitch is going to die tonight and I will be the one that is going to do it. 

I was in the training room on the gym mat while I was trying to stretch. I had a pair of leggings on and a tank top as my hair was pinned up in a bun. I stretched my arm to my legs for a full minute as I switched to the other side. Sebastian has yet to come and I was getting a little irritated. We don't have a lot of time. The witches were coming tonight and he is the one that is late for our training session. I heard someone opening the door and I turned my head suddenly to see who it was. 

To my surprise was Sebastian in workout clothes as he was holding a water bottle in one of his hands. I glared at him as he was walking toward him because I was angry that he was late. "Sorry, I'm late. I had to take care of a few things." he admitted as he held out his hand so he could help me stand up. I put my hand in his and stood up from where I was sitting. 

"And what did you take care of that is more important than our training session?" I questioned him as I tilted my head. I had no idea why it was now important for me to learn how to fight the witches, probably because when I saw Agnes sitting there on her throne not feeling guilty about what she did, I wanted to win this war. But what I wanted more than anything in this world is the person standing in front of me. I want him like I want blood on my lips. 

Sebastian took a deep breath as he didn't want to argue anymore. It's not the right time to fight after all. "I was arranging a plane for your family to go home so they wouldn't be in danger tonight." he confessed slowly as he avoided my gaze. Sebastian said it so casually that it took me a moment to believe him. 

He opened the cap of the water bottle that he was holding in his hand and took a sip of the liquid that was inside. He seem that what he said wasn't important, but it was to me. Nobody has ever done that for me before that I didn't know what to say to him. I tried to speak but my mouth didn't say anything as I was frozen to the spot. 

"W-Why would you do that for me?" I asked him as my voice stuttered a little bit. I stared into those obsidian eyes of his and I realized that I could stare into them forever if I could. I noticed that he closed the bottle as he kept on holding it in his hand. 

Sebastian smiled a little bit as he looked down at the floor before dropping it again. "I could never live with myself if I put your loved ones in danger because of the mess I involved you in." he confessed. I swear my heart stopped beating for a second. And at that moment, I sprinted toward him and put my arms around him in a hug. It took him by surprise, hell I was shocked that I did it, but it was the only thing that I could think of for him doing that for me. 

I buried my face in his chest and I felt that he put his arms on my waist to hug me back. "Thank you." I murmured as I formed a smile on my lips. I pulled apart from him and I saw that he had a look of confusion on his face. 

"For what?" he questioned as he tilted his head. 

"For being you." I said vaguely with the same smirk on my face. Sebastian bowed his head so I wouldn't see him smile, which he does all the time when I give him a compliment. When he did that, all I wanted was for him to actually look me in the eye and show me his perfect smile. I walked up to him and I took the water bottle out of his hand playfully as I took the cap off the bottle and held it in my other hand. He opened his mouth in shock as to what I did but I didn't care. I took a drink of the liquid and I realized that it was blood that I so desperately craved for a while.
