Authors note: it's been about a five years since Annie's accident Sebastian even though trying to stop him from falling in love with her did and they have been dating in secret.
Annie POV
Sebastian held my hand as we walked down the street. His hand was soft, who am I kidding his hands were always soft. I leaned my head against his shoulder as we walked. "Tried?" He asked. "A little bit but a kiss would help. " I said looking at him waiting for him to crack. He smiled and kissed my cheek. "There you are my lady feel better." He asked with a slight smirk on his face. "Yes, yes I do." I giggled. "Good. "
We
stopped outside of Papa's shop. "Well this is your stop." Sebastian said. "One more kiss please.?" I asked
Sebastian POV
I chuckled and kissed her forehead. She pouted. "Your mother is looking. " I said nudging my shoulder towards the window. She smiled and kissed my nose. "I'm coming Mama!" She shouted. "Bye Sebastian. " She hugged me then walked into the shop.
Annie POV
Mama smiled as I walked through the door. "Have fun dear? " She asked teaslingly. "Yes, yes I did. " I said as I hugged her. Her violet eyes shown through her white bangs. My eyes traced down her scorpion-like ponytail that almost touched the floor. How did she earn the nickname Black widow? "You alright luv? Mama asked noticing I was deep in thought. "Oh yeah I'm fine mama just tried. I'm gonna go to bed." "Alright goodnight luv."
I woke up and saw a black rose on my window sill. Sebastian has another contract I said to myself as I opened my window. I remember what he told me:" the number of leaves tells you how many weeks I'll be gone and the number of thrones tells you how many days I'll be gone. " I looked at the rose, no leaves and three thrones." Three days I can deal with that" I thought as I put the rose in a small vase filled with black roses.
Sebastian POV
I held the letter tightly in my hand. I kept reading it over and over in my head. "Lacrin Michaelis is alive. Lacrin Michaelis is alive. Lacrin Michaelis is alive." My little sister is alive and I'm going to find her.
