I ran around several corners to look for whatever was causing me to feel uneasy. I passed by a few rooms but found nothing at all till I turned to the corner. I blinked hard and my sight cleared to see a man standing at the end of hallway, shocked to see me. The situation was awkward as I watched him take unsteady steps towards me with big eyes. Oh those beautiful golden eyes, I missed them so much. His hand reached for me.
"Aurora?" He said trembling to me. I took an unneeded step back because I was already at a wall. I shook my head as I felt my eyes glow red for some unusual reason.
"S-Sebastian…" I whispered with my heart speeding dramatically. I held my breath and closed my eyes. I felt him come closer to me.
"I thought…you were dead…" He was feet's away from me and he carried my face with care. We stared at each other and my body started shaking like crazy. My teeth chattered from unsteadiness and a tear haltingly fell down my cheek. Sebastian leaned down closer to my lips, brushing them in a ghostly manner. "I've missed you…so, so much." He kissed me gingerly and let go at a slow pace. When he pulled back and I tossed his hands from my face while taking a few steps back. He was confused.
"Stay away…from me." I choked back on the words and that's when Claude arrived behind me and stopped. They both glared and growled at each other with displeasure. I was pulled back into Claude's arms and looked back at Sebastian; his eyes got wider then narrowed into daggers.
"What's going on with you two?" He growled through his teeth. Claude pulled me away from him and kissed me gently on the lips. He let go and put me behind him, protectively. I watched scared.
"More than you can give her." Claude said while giving his glasses to me. He smiled to reassure me and I felt my eyes water. Sebastian's hands clenched into fists, Claude was really ticking him off.
"I will kill you." Sebastian ran at Claude and took his neck with his hand; he threw Claude behind him, not paying attention to Claude anymore. He was standing in front of me again. He took my chin and brought me to him, analyzing me thoroughly. I froze in place and my lips quivered. "You've been here this whole time and didn't bother to come tell us that you were still alive?" He asked with hints of aggravation in his voice. I looked away and took his hand off me again.
"I couldn't…" I trailed off with tears welled up in my eyes again.
"Why?" He looked at me and brushed my hair from my face; he saw my contract with wide eyes and took my chin again for another look. "You…contracted." Claude came up from behind him and grabbed Sebastian by the neck and threw him to the wall; Sebastian stopped the impact of the blow with his foot and launched himself at Claude again. They both flew at the wall behind me and broke through it, falling into the grand hall.
"Claude!" I screamed for him and Sebastian looked at me with surprise and growled louder at the demon in front of him. I peeked out of the hole that was made by them and scanned for Claude who was on the floor with Sebastian on top of him. I gasped.
"Aurora…take him off me, now." The contract in his eyes glowed that lovely white and I felt mine do the same. Tears poured out of my eyes and I closed my eyes.
"Yes…my master." I flew out of the hole and crushed myself into Sebastian's stomach with unbelievable force. We both went into the floor, making a pit. I was breathing heavy while Sebastian and I were looking at each other. I flipped backwards and out of the pit, landing like a cat on the floor. Soundless but perfect. Claude stood next to me with a creepy smile; I looked away. I heard the ground crumble when Sebastian came out of the pit. I glanced at him from the corner of my eye. He was even more surprised than before.
"You're…a demon?" He asked me and I looked away again.
"You couldn't tell? How pathetic." Claude stood in place for me with a large smirk. "Not being able to eat a soul for decades really has weakened your senses." I heard him chuckle.
"Aurora…I'm taking you home. Now." Sebastian and his eyes glowed red with determination and certainty. He ran past Claude and took me into his arms, turning around to get out of the estate. Claude stopped him sort and pulled me out of his grasp and into his own. He threw me behind and I landed safely on the ground. Sebastian and Claude were glaring at each other and blowing it out with an ever faster pace than I've ever seen. I fell back into the wall and hung onto the wall, watching and making sure that Claude would be ok. I cared about Sebastian but…Claude was the one that I contracted with.
Sebastian tried catching me several times but Claude came just in time to avoid that from happening. Claude took me and made me stand on his hand; he threw me into the air and I did a backflip to land on the upper leave on the mansion on the banister. I stood there while I saw Sebastian run up to me. I was shaking from worry, watching every move they made.
"Don't let him catch you." He said and I nodded. I flipped back again to avoid his oncoming grip. He ran at me again and I kicked his arm away, thrusting him into the wall with my hand on his neck. He coughed.
"Why are you doing this?" He asked me with sad eyes. My eyes started watering again and I threw him downwards towards the open doorway. He landed on the ground in an explosion. I held my arms with the tears on my cheeks.
"I'm sorry." I whispered to myself in agony. I never liked hurting him mentally but physically…sent me a great deal of pain in my heart. Sebastian slowly got up in pain and looked up at Claude then me. He saw the tears on my face; he knew I didn't want to do this.
"I will come back for you Aurora." He said and glared at Claude.
"Sebastian…" I whispered and closed my eyes, looking away.
"I promise." He looked at Claude. "I will kill you."
"We'll see." Claude said with a smile. With that, Sebastian left and I fell down to my knees in tears, not wanting to believe what I did to the man I loved dearly.
