It's been a few months since the sallow family took me in.
Solomon spent most of his time away from the house out at work, his very vague about what he dose, but his promised me that he would fine the people who killed my parents.
Anna spends most of her time inside reading or cooking, I don't know what she puts in the food, but God, it's amazing.
I can usually find Sebastian outside. He's always running around and finds odd places to explore. He's always smiling and taking me on his adventures. How can someone say no to a smile like his?
I remember on the second week of being here, I was finally about to walk he came up to me with the most Devious Smile I have ever seen,
"Let me show you something," he said with his hand reaching out to me. Taking his hand to lead me outside towards the wood. I tugged at his hand , and he looked back at me with a confused look
"I don't want to go back there," I said, scared to witch he grabbed my hand gently, " has long had I with you nothing with ever happened to you, I promise"
I didn't say another word just nodded, and we continued our way forward to where there was a cave there where some blueish black ore outside with leaves of all colors Scattered in front of the entrance.
Before we were fully inside, he asked me to stay there and close my eyes, and I do, as he said.
He let go of my hand, leaving me there by myself. "Okay, now open them," fluttering my eyes open to see a Lantern and a few candles giving light to this dark place.
There was some book and some Nick knacks something a child would see and want to bring home.
"This is where I like to go when u need alone time," he said with a hint of sadness in his eyes
"It looks lovely." he looked up at me, giving me a sweet smile, making my heart skip a beat
He began showing a few things he collected and telling me the stories behind them. He talked if he's never talked to anyone. His face was lit up with joy. I saw nothing but happiness behind his eyes.
We talked about random stuff for hours, everything, and anything that came to mind. This was the first time I had ever sat down with someone my age, and I actually had fun.
We stating to feel tired. "Maybe we should head back?" I suggested
"You are probably right." He seemed kind of sad. I was getting up and getting ready to head out when sebastian didn't move an inch
Sitting back down next to him, I grabbed his hand, letting. He knew it's okay like he's been doing to me when he finally spoke what was on his mind
"You know, when Anna and I were younger, our parents were killed, I just want you to know that I'm here for you no matter what happens." He said, grabbing my hand tighter
Unable to control my emotions, tears began to fall, "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to make you cry!" He started to panic, not knowing what to do he just held my hand and pulled me in close
"No, it's okay it wasn't your fault. Thank you for everything. I will never forget it,"
We sat there for a couple more minutes before we decided to finally head back to the house.
I was deep in thought, remembering that day I didn't realize sebastian had been calling out to me
"Is everything alright, Y/N?" He asked with concern
"Yeah, just lost in thought. " he nodded in response
"I was just wondering if you wanted to help me find some ingredients for Anna?"
"Yeah, I would love to!" I don't mind helping her out. She loving tinkring with the Potion set Solomon got her she always reminded sebastian that is was hers
With that, we headed to the Edge of the Forest, trying to find much stuff we could get.
"You think this is enough?" I asked sebastian while I lifted up my basket. He looked at it for a good second before deciding, "Let's head to the river, and then we could head back. Deal?" We both agreed
"Hey Y/N, look," he pointed over to see a hippogriff minding its business
I only looked at it for a few seconds, only to look over to sebastian .
He was more interesting than the hippogriff.
He had a curiosities sparkle I his eye how he watch its every move almost star struck. He moved his foot slightly, only to crack a branch underneath it. The hippogriff, now looking, are way flaped its wings and flew off
"That was amazing," he said, still in awe
"Yeah," I responded, still looking at him.
We finally made it to the river and got some slugs. After that, we headed back. "Say Y/N have you ever done something that you couldn't explain," sebastian asked out of the blue
Thinking about his question, I was about to respond when we both heard Whistling and Explosions going off. The sounds were coming from the village. We both looked at each other with worry.
"Maybe it's just our imagination. It had to be, " I said, trying to find an explanation to it all
"Yeah, you are probably right."
We had gotten back to the village only to see some of the stalls where destroyed. Crops burned and rubble everywhere.
Solomon came running up to us, grabbing sebastian's arm, causing him to drop his basket. "Where have you two been?" He asked while tightening his grip on sebastian
Hissing in pain, Anna spoke for him. "I asked him to get me some supplies." He didn't say another word just letting him go
Sighing and pinching the bridge of his nose, trying to think of the next step when a villager came walking up
"Maybe if we do, has they say they won't come back."
"Now why would be do that! Huh!" Solomon snaped back
"What exactly do they want?" sebastian asked
"You don't need to know," Solomon said with a stern voice
"What if I could help?"
"Now, how could a boy help?" That's was the last thing he said before walking away
"Maybe he's right, sebastian. we should get ourselves involved." I agree with Solomon. We shouldn't get involved. We would only get in the way
"You should have never come here." the villager said with Disdain in his voice
Sebastian was ready to punch him in the face, but I grabbed his arm, giving him a smile, telling him it was. Okay. He sighed in response and put his hand in my letting me know it's okay to let go, which I did
"Sir, what do you mean by that?" Anna tried to inquire
"She's the reason they were here. They won't leave us until they have her."
Completely surprised not knowing who they were nor what they wanted.
"We can't let them have her. No, we won't let it happen." sebastian said with a raised voice towards the villager, but he didn't respond, only walking away
"We won't let them get you, I promise." sebastian said, grabbing my hands and putting them together with his own, giving me a small smile.
Waking up to feel a cold breeze from the window. I got up to close it, so Anna and Y/N don't get sick only to see a note on the table it was stained with a drops of water looking at the first line I read. Dear sebastian.
Reading those lines made my heart drop, looking over not seeing Y/N anywhere in sight looking back at the note reading it
Dear Sebastian.
I'm sorry. I know you promised that everything was going to be okay, but seeing what happened to the village, I know I can't stay there. I only put you and Anna in danger.
I don't know what these men want, but I know they won't stop until they have it, so I'm leaving now because I know you won't let me go.
Tell Anna thank you for all the meals she made me. They were amazing and tell Solomon even though he angry all the time to try and smile once in a while, and sebastian, thank you for everything the time I spent with you made everything that happned a faded memory.
Goodbye, sebastian. Y/N
I let the tears fall, knowing that she was gone, and I might never see her again. I slammed my fist on the table, waking Anna
"What happened, sebastian?" But I didn't respond to her. She came up to me seeing the state I was in she guided me back to bed, where I cried myself to sleep.
